These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
Every Sunday, we curate a roundup of all the jailbreak tweaks we show you throughout the work week, and this Sunday is no different.
In this roundup, we'll showcase this week's jailbreak tweak releases, starting with our favorites. We'll move on to all the other tweaks afterward.
Back in the day, the Status Bar never used to be the same color as the background behind it. Things changed drastically after the major iOS 7 redesign and stayed that way up until now.
If you miss the dual-tone Status Bar look and feel, then you can use a new free jailbreak tweak called Black Status Bar (System Wide) by iOS developer Justin Petkovic to satisfy your needs.
As you type with your iPhone's keyboard, standard plain text characters appear on the screen, but that's not always enough if you're a heavy Emoji user. To insert Emojis, you need to visit the Emoji keyboard and tap on them manually, while the predictive keyboard suggests relevant Emoji from time to time. Nevertheless, it won’t automatically-insert them for you.
If you wish things worked a little differently, then a new free jailbreak tweak called EmojiType by iOS developer Adriano Junior is now available that automatically replaces certain text characters with relevant Emoji characters.
Out of all the smartphone choices out there, it’s probably not wrong to say that iOS has one of the most uninteresting notification systems of them all. Fortunately, those who sport jailbreaks can spice up the notification system up a bit with add-ons.
One of the latest jailbreak tweaks to do just that is a new release called 3Edgy5Me by iOS developer Will Smillie, which brings customizable Galaxy S8-style notifications to iPhone and iPad.
Some people resort to using proxy servers to maintain internet privacy and to get around website blocks at educational institutions and/or at work. On the other hand, anyone who’s ever used a proxy server knows how cumbersome it can be.
With a new jailbreak tweak called ProxySwitcher by iOS developer mbo42, toggling your favorite proxy server in iOS any time you’re connected to Wi-Fi just got a whole lot easier.
Sometimes you need to get home, and whether you’re too intoxicated because you had one too many drink or you’re just too tired to drive, both Lyft and Uber offer convenient transportation services to get you from point A to point B safely.
Both services have apps to make summoning transportation easy for you, but if you want to make things even easier, then you might like a new jailbreak tweak called Get Me Home by iOS developer Tom Effects.
The jailbreak community is staying intact despite a slow couple of weeks; fortunately, new life was breathed into the jailbreak community this week with the launch of the Phoenix iOS 9.3.5 jailbreak and with the release of several interesting new jailbreak tweaks.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the new tweaks that launched in Cydia this week, starting with our favorites and then capping off with all the rest afterward.
For most people, using a passcode or Touch ID authentication on the Lock screen is enough for keeping an iPhone secure from intruders. On the other hand, many share their passcodes with those near and dear to them or give their unlocked iPhones to others to show off photos or videos.
If you’re worried about someone rifling through your data when they shouldn’t be, and you fall under either of the two scenarios above, then a new jailbreak tweak called Bio Locker by iArrays might be worth checking out.
If you have an iPhone, then chances are you rely on the built-in Phone app to handle your inbound and outbound calls. While the app is useful, it’s also barebones by nature and could do with some improvements.
A new jailbreak tweak dubbed CallPlus by iOS developer Elias Sfeir supercharges the Phone app, giving you more features than you’re probably accustomed to out of the box.
Your Status Bar displays relevant information about your device in every interface, including its battery level, signal strength, and the system time. On the other hand, it has so much untapped potential in its stock form.
With a new jailbreak tweak called Hera by iOS developer Maximehip, you can supercharge your Status Bar with new shortcuts and customization features.
One of my long-time favorite jailbreak tweaks for organizing my incoming notifications is Priority Hub, but the tweak was never updated to support iOS 10. If you’re in the same boat and miss this classic tweak, then you might want to try a new release called Atmos by iOS developer Antique.
After you install Atmos, your notifications are grouped by app both on the Lock screen and in Notification Center. With this sort of organization, you can focus on what’s important rather than looking at a chaotic menagerie of mixed notifications.
If you've got nostalgia for the good old days when you would use 'slide to unlock' to access your iPhone, then you should check out a throwback jailbreak tweak dubbed SlideToUnlockX by iOS developer XCXiao.
Once you install SlideToUnlockX, you can bring this classic unlock style to your jailbroken iOS 10 iPhone or iPad and cure your nostalgia.
