Jailbreak Apps & Tweaks

These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.

Preview: JellyBoard

JellyBoard is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that supercharges the editing features on your iPhone's keyboard. Using swipe gestures, JellyBoard allows you to perform deletions, cut, copy, paste, select all, make uppercase, make lowercase, move the cursor, etc.

Think of JellyBoard as a tweak that similar to SwipeSelection, but a lot more customizable. There are tons of actions that you can assign to a variety of gestures, and we've showcased a few of them in our hands-on video preview inside.

Preview: Apex

Apex is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that allows you to nest app icons on your Home screen in a way that may eliminate the need for folders. It's an especially cool tool for grouping like applications such as the stock Mail app, and many of the other popular 3rd party Mail apps.

Apex is from Sentry's a3tweaks, which has been responsible for a long repertoire of awesome jailbreak tweaks, including Auxo. Indeed, Apex works as awesome as it looks, and I'm confident that many will enjoy this upcoming release. Have a look at our brief video preview inside for more details.

MuscleNerd green lights iOS 7.0.2 update

In case you're thinking about holding out on iOS 7.0.2 for jailbreak reasons, there's no need to worry; MuscleNerd has confirmed that iOS 7.0.2 is safe for potential future jailbreaks.

The update, which was released earlier in the day, eliminates the Lock screen bypass issue that reared its head not long after iOS 7 went public.

Let’s Talk Jailbreak 29: Gold rush!

The iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, and iOS 7 are once again the big topics on this latest episode of Let's Talk Jailbreak. Cody, Jeff, and Sebastien all share their launch day experiences, and talk about their favorite new features to be found in iOS 7 and with the iPhone 5s. The trio also discusses the iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4 jailbreak, along with their thoughts on sacrificing a jailbreak for the sake of iOS 7. It's our longest and perhaps most entertaining episode ever. You don't want to miss the fun.

Let’s Talk Jailbreak 28: On the eve of two iPhones

With the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c release mere days away, Sebastien and Cody discuss their thoughts on Apple's keynote, the hardware for both new phones, and various other relevant tidbits of information. The pair also discuss the controversial iPhone 5c case, the hardware's somewhat surprising price point, along with an outlook for its sales potential. Of course, we also talk about our favorite jailbreak tweaks of the week, along with the promising prospects surrounding an iOS 7 jailbreak.

How to change the iPhone’s status bar color using RGB sliders

Jailbreaking is all about customizing your iPhone in a way that you see fit; from the biggest detail all the way down to the smallest detail. With that in mind, Status Color is a recently released tweak that's worth a look.

Status Color is a tweak that allows you to adjust the color of your status bar in real time using simple RGB sliders. The tweak, which is available for free on Cydia's BigBoss repo, allows you to easily match the color of the status bar with wallpaper or other Home screen elements. Check out our video walkthrough inside to see what I mean.

How to quickly move between the first and last page of your Home screen

SBPageSwipe is an interesting new tweak that was recently released on Cydia. It allows users to quickly scroll between the first and last SpringBoard page by swiping on the page dots that reside above the Home screen dock.

As you would imagine, this is a very simple and straightforward tweak with zero options to configure. Though it's simple in nature, I did find it pretty handy to have. It's almost like using the Home and End buttons on a desktop keyboard. Take a look inside.

Planetbeing provides update on iOS 7 jailbreak status

Yesterday, the Evad3rs' @planetbeing said that the team behind the Evasi0n jailbreak for iOS 6 was starting some initial investigation into the possibility of an iOS 7 jailbreak. It doesn't look like they plan on wasting much time in the process.

In an update provided via Twitter, planetbeing states that he's achieved unsigned userland code execution using some of the stuff the team has held in reserve. As mentioned yesterday, the Evad3rs are now on a reconnaissance mission to see what exploits still work with iOS 7.

The evad3rs are investigating iOS 7 for possible exploits

Now that iOS 7 GM has been officially released, the evad3rs — the team responsible for bringing us the iOS 6 evasi0n jailbreak last winter — have started looking into iOS 7. The team, according to prominent iOS hacker and team member @planetbeing, are now in a reconnaissance phase to see which exploits, if any, still work with iOS 7.

This is being done on existing devices like the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, etc. The new devices, especially the iPhone 5S with its 64-bit processor, will presumably be another massive hurdle to overcome once they launch later this month. Regardless of what the final outcome may eventually be, this is great news for those of us who would like a jailbreak for iOS 7.

Let’s Talk Jailbreak 27: The calm before the storm

Tomorrow is a huge day, so for that reason, we thought it would be appropriate to post this episode of Let's Talk Jailbreak a day early. Inside, Sebastien and Jeff talk about the anticipation surrounding tomorrow's iPhone event in which the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C should be revealed to the public. The duo also talks about this past week's tweaks, which include TapTapFolder, the Samsung Galaxy inspired WaveOff, and Sentry's new quick reply tweak called Anemo. Of course, that's not all. Listen to episode 27 for all of the jailbreak goodness, which includes our thoughts about the iOS 6.1.4 jailbreak for the iPhone 5.

VoiceChanger brings live voice effects to the Phone app

VoiceChanger is a new jailbreak tweak from Elias Limneos — the same developer that brought us Call Recording, and CallBar for the iPhone. Needless to say, he's a very experienced developer when it comes to getting more out of the average phone call on iOS.

As you've probably already figured out, his latest tweak allows users to change the sound of their voices while on a phone call. VoiceChanger allows callers to select between 4 different voice effects (plus the normal voice), and you can do so while on a live phone call. Have a look inside for more info.

Preview: VideoExplorer

VideoExplorer is an upcoming jailbreak tweak from the same developer that brought us AudioExplorer. As you might expect, the tweak works very much in the same way as AudioExplorer, in that it allows you to quickly identify all valid files stored on your iPhone.

From there, you can play, share, and import any of the video files available on your device. Files can even be taken directly from the apps you have installed. Have a look inside for a sneak preview showing how it all works.
