These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
The jailbreak scene has really been running dry lately with the lack of any new jailbreak for Apple's latest iOS releases. Nevertheless, Cydia is still alive with a few releases that we cover throughout the week.
In this post, we'll show you everything that was released in Cydia this week, starting with our favorites. Then, we'll show you all of the rest of them.
Not long ago, Snapchat released an app update for iOS that changed the way users interact with the Stories section of their app.
Not all users were happy with the changes, and so, an iOS developer in the jailbreak community made a new tweak called SnapOldStory that lets you revert back to the old Stories page style.
On any normal day, your iPhone or iPad's volume HUD shows an icon in the middle, along with little rectangles at the bottom of the indicator that illustrate how high your volume level is.
But if you want something a little more informative, then a new free jailbreak tweak called VolumePercentage will give you an even better idea of what your volume level is by showing you an actual volume percentage in the volume HUD.
If you have more than one iPhone sitting around because one is your older handset and the other is your daily driver, then chances are your older iPhone no longer has service and may or may not still have its SIM card inside of it.
CoySIM is a new free jailbreak tweak that makes it so your iPhone won't constantly pester you with alerts and Status Bar indicators all because you don't have a SIM card installed in it.
We'll show you how the tweak works in this review.
What happens when a jailbreak tweak bugs out on your device and ends up in a boot loop? Do you try to reboot the device to no avail? Do you take to the internet to ask how to fix it?
How about this: try booting into a form of booting up that Saurik calls 'No Substrate Mode,' then uninstall the faulty tweak.
In this piece, we'll talk about how you can use No Substrate Mode, an under-used feature of jailbroken iPhone or iPad that can truly save you from losing your precious jailbreak when you're unable to turn on your device.
The tumbleweed of jailbreak tweaks continues to roll despite the long drought the community has been putting up with in the midst of a non-existent jailbreak for modern iOS firmware releases in recent months.
Nevertheless, we continue doing what we love to do here at iDB, and share with you what our favorite releases were this week. We'll start first with our favorites, and then talk about the rest of this week's releases.
If you've ever wanted to have more fine-grained control over the volume level across your iOS experience, and you're jailbroken, then you should really check out a new jailbreak tweak called VolumePanel.
With this tweak, you'll be able to set a custom volume level for each and every app installed on your device. In this review, we'll show you what makes the tweak tick and talk about how it can be useful.
The jailbreak community is one place where we can almost always count on developers to create new ways to interact with music throughout the system-wide iOS experience. New tweaks are released all the time that let you control your music without even being in the Music app itself, and each tries to be better than the last.
A relatively new tweak release, Proton, is available in Cydia and offers some unique functionality of its own. We'll show you what it's all about inside this review.
iOS 9 came with a totally new Spotlight experience for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, but there still remains a lot that could be changed to better suit individual users' needs.
Thanks to the jailbreak community, however, customization is never really a problem.
A new free jailbreak tweak called PersonalSpotlight is now available that gives users the ability to personalize their Spotlight experience in a way that better suits them, and we'll show you how the tweak works as we go hands-on in this review.
Despite the dry Cydia pipeline that continues on due to the lack of a fresh jailbreak, existing iOS developers are still launching jailbreak tweak releases.
This week hasn't been much more impressive than the last, but nevertheless, we'll still recap on everything that's new. We'll start with our favorites, and then we'll finish off with the rest of this week's releases.
Facebook users who are looking for a little more oomph from their app experience are going to love a new jailbreak tweak release called Prenesi 3.
This tweak not only supercharges the app with additional features, but it even lets users further configure the app's behavior and features to their liking.
A long story short, if you're rocking a jailbroken device and you use Facebook regularly, then this is a tweak you don't want to miss.
Those who are using a Pebble smartwatch rather than Apple's own Apple Watch as an accessory for their iPhone are limited in features, but with a new jailbreak tweak dubbed TextSender for Pebble, there is at least some hope for extended functionality.
TextSender for Pebble will, as the name implies, allow those with a Pebble smartwatch to send text messages from their watch via their iPhone.
