Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
If there’s one thing most iPhone and iPad owners can relate to, it’s the dissatisfying inability to set default applications outside of Apple’s own. Sure, you can delete some of Apple’s native apps, but what good is that if iOS doesn’t link to third-party apps afterward?
Enter Evil Scheme, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Lorenzo that aims to be your convenient one-stop shop for configuring default apps of your choosing on your pwned iPhone or iPad.
Late last night, the Sileo Team launched an updated version of the Sileo package manager for jailbroken devices, officially bringing the project up to version 1.8 with a serious bump in speed and other changes that will make some jailbreakers quite happy.
The Sileo Team announced its updated Sileo package manager via Twitter at approximately 4:30 A.M. Eastern time:
Just yesterday, we showed you a well-received jailbreak tweak named NotesCrationDate13 by iOS developer gilshahar7 that displayed more detailed timestamps in iOS’ stock Notes app, but wouldn’t it be nice if we could have improved timestamps elsewhere throughout Apple’s mobile operating system?
Gilshahar7 appears to share this popular opinion, as a newly released jailbreak tweak called ExactTimeMail seems to do this exact thing in the native Mail app. ExactTimeMail is part of a family of tweaks intended to make timestamps more intuitive in iOS, and we’d say it succeeds on every level, with other members of that family being ExactTime (for notification banners) and ExactTimeMessages (for the Messages app).
Jailbreakers that also don an Apple Watch may take an interest in a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed WatchBuddy by iOS developer paddycodes, as it can help users keep better track of their wearable’s battery level throughout the day.
As depicted in the screenshot example above, WatchBuddy puts a persistent Apple Watch battery widget on your iPhone’s Lock screen in a way that’s always visible, ensuring that you never neglect your Apple Watch’s battery again.
Apple today released iOS & iPadOS 13.5.1 specifically to patch the new kernel exploit that Pwn20wnd incorporated into the unc0ver v5.0.0+ jailbreak tool to support iOS & iPadOS 13.5, making it now more important than ever to avoid updating your device to the latest available firmware if you care whatsoever about being able to customize your handset in an bevy of different ways that otherwise wouldn’t be possible out of the box.
As pointed out this evening by unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd, however, it seems that unc0ver versions 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 exhibit a bug in which the option in the unc0ver app for disabling automatic software updates will behave opposite to how users have it configured:
Apple today released the minor iOS 13.5.1, iPadOS 13.5.1 and tvOS 13.4.6 updates. However, those who jailbreak are wholeheartedly recommended to stay away from these releases.
Apple is releasing new software today, starting with iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS, but Apple isn't leaving macOS Catalina out of the mix entirely.
Apple listened to our cries of desperation and finally integrated a native dark mode into iOS 13. Albeit limited in at least some capacity by way of color options and app support, it was a mild starting point that helped a lot of people realize the full potential and beauty of their iPhones’ OLED displays.
So if you’re on iOS 13 or later and you’re looking to get more out of dark mode, what should you do now? Allow us to point you to Eclipse Dark Mode Colors (iOS 13+), the latest iteration of iOS developer Guillermo Morán’s popular dark mode tweak that brings custom color schemes and a slew of other options to iOS’ native dark mode implementation.
Jailbreakers who are searching for a unique way to customize their iPhone running iOS 13 will almost certainly want to turn their attention to the likes of a newly released jailbreak tweak called Snell by iOS developer Samg_is_a_Ninja.
Snell allows users to alter and configure the aesthetics of iOS’ alert pop-ups, and as depicted in the series of screenshot examples above, the tweak provides a whole lot more than just colorization, but also the ability to change how the interface looks entirely.
If you’re anything like me, then you might take advantage of your iPhone’s Notes app somewhat frequently to jot down important memos to yourself.
One problem that may arise while using Apple’s Notes app is that it can be tough to discern when Notes were first created, and that’s something that a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called NotesCreationDate13 by iOS developer gilshahar7 tries to address.
Thanks to a brand-new 0day exploit, the unc0ver jailbreak now supports iOS 13.5 on all the handsets that can run it. So that just leaves us with one question: what should be we install on our pwned handset?
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, May 25th to Sunday, May 31st. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Given just how invested Apple seems to be in the music industry today, it continues to baffle me to this very day that the company’s own Now Playing widget for the iPhone and iPad lacks two seemingly imperative media controls that I would otherwise use all the bleeping time: Repeat and Shuffle.
If you agree with me here, then I think you’re going to love a new free jailbreak tweak release dubbed Replay by iOS developer Simalary, because it effectively brings the two aforementioned controls to iOS’ Now Playing widget in every instance where it would normally appear.
