These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
Out of the box, your iPhone’s default Weather app supports both Celsius and Fahrenheit for depicting how hot or cold it is outside. While these might be two of the most popular units of measure concerning temperature, they’re certainly not the only ones.
Another unit that you don’t see very often unless you dabble in the world of science is Kelvin, and a free jailbreak tweak called 4000 Degrees Kelvin by iOS developer Sniper_GER unlocks this temperature unit throughout iOS.
One of the significant distinctions separating the iOS experience on the iPad from the iPhone is the inclusion of various multitasking features like Slide Over and Split View.
Apple typically bars iPhone users from accessing these features out of the box because of their limited screen real estate. On the other hand, a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Medusafied by iOS developer Sniper_GER can change that.
Whenever you attach an iOS device to a power source to charge your battery, you receive feedback letting you know that the power connection succeeded. iPads and iPod touches provide audible feedback, but iPhones can provide both audible and vibratory feedback.
While these types of feedback can be useful in several scenarios, everyone knows that two sides exist to every story. With that in mind, PowerLess is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer CydiaGeek that disables all power connection feedback entirely.
If you've heard of the new tool Houdini but haven't got around to trying it out yet, then let us show you how in this quick guide. If you haven't heard of it, check out my post on the topic for a bit of background information.
Cydia isn’t quite bustling right now, but we’ve seen some exciting activity in the community recently by way of semi-jailbreaks and exploits that could potentially lead to something exciting on iOS 11 in the future. While there’s no guarantee of anything special coming out of it, we can still cross our fingers and hope for the best.
Whether current versions of iOS will receive a jailbreak or not continues to baffle the best of us, but those sporting iOS 10 devices jailbroken with Yalu can still enjoy all of Cydia's latest releases. In this roundup, we’ll talk about our favorite jailbreak tweaks launched during the past week. As usual, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorites and outline the rest of them afterward.
You may remember us reporting on the most recent jailbreak to be released, Saïgon. Well, its developer Abraham Masri is back, with something inventive we haven't seen before. Perhaps best described as a "semi-jailbreak", his tool Houdini achieves some of the effects of a jailbreak, whilst avoiding the hardest challenges and pitfalls which constructing the full package would bring.
Oodles of people are preparing for the upcoming holidays right about now, and jailbreakers can do the same by taking advantage of a new free jailbreak tweak called Snoverlay by iOS developer leftyfl1p.
Installing Snoverlay causes snowflakes to rain down on your device’s Home screen and Lock screen wallpapers, as shown above.
I routinely use the Camera app on both my iPhone and iPad, but between the two, I prefer the look and feel of the Camera interface on the iPad.
If you’re in the same boat, then a new free jailbreak tweak called iPad Cam for iPhone (iOS 10) by iOS developer Adel Hammoud might be right up your alley.
As an avid Apple Watch user, I was excited to learn about a jailbreak tweak dubbed LockWatch by iOS developer Sniper_GER, which ports several of the Apple Watch’s watch faces to the Lock screen of jailbroken devices.
LockWatch continues to undergo development as of this writing, but it’s a fascinating to check the time on your iPhone precisely as you would when glancing at your wrist. Furthermore, the tweak supports both analog and digital watch faces, to provide options for those with personal preference.
Most people take their virtual privacy seriously, and a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed PhotosLock by iOS developer Ian enforces this rule of thumb for any jailbreakers that might fall under this category.
As you might have inferred from the tweak’s name already, PhotosLock lets you lock your Photos app with an independent passcode. Acting as a second layer of security, it hides your personal photos from prying eyes.
Anyone with a jailbroken iOS 10 device presumably avoids the power down menu because of their semi-untethered jailbreak. On the other hand, a new free jailbreak tweak called BetterPowerMenu iOS developer Huub Lubbers can change that.
The tweak makes two significant changes to the power down menu, such as adding a respring button and supplying customization options so that you have more control over how the interface looks and feels.
Waze is one of the most popular third-party navigation apps for the iOS platform, but some users find that the interface isn’t without its quirks. For example, the swipe gesture you might use to access the app’s built-in menu could potentially clash with other gestures.
If you experience this problem yourself, then a new free jailbreak tweak called FarewellGestureWaze by iOS developer CydiaGeek should remedy the problem. After installation, it prevents this gesture from launching the Waze app’s built-in menu.
