Aria 2, MeetingDnd, and other jailbreak tweaks to check out

Sébastien Page ∙ September 13, 2015

On the eve of the release of iOS 9, we can't help but feel concerned about the future of jailbreaking. Will rootless make this an impossible thing? Is there such thing as impossible when talking about software though? We've seen encouraging signs from iH8sn0w this week, but only time will tell if this something that will actually happen, especially in regards to new devices being shipped.

In the meantime, let's enjoy what we have now, as there is a number of interesting tweaks that were released this past week.

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated June 12, 2018

The Do Not Disturb preferences in the stock Settings app provides a limited level of scheduling for the DND feature found in iOS. If you want deeper scheduling capability, you're going to need to rely on a jailbreak tweak like MeetingDND.

Upcoming jailbreak tweak looks to bring 3D Touch-inspired features to older iPhones

Jeff Benjamin ∙ September 10, 2015

If you don't plan on buying one of the new iPhones, but are intrigued by the iPhone 6s' hallmark 3D Touch feature, you might want to listen up. Popular jailbreak developer Elias Limneos is currently working on a 3D Touch-inspired jailbreak tweak.

Since 3D Touch requires special hardware, this obviously isn't real 3D Touch, but it emulates the 3D Touch feature by means of a long tap-and-hold gesture on the iPhone's screen. The tweak, which is entitled Touch 3D, appeared in preview form on a recently posted YouTube video. Check it out and let us know what you think...
