Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
Dealing with this COVID-19 situation has been tough for many, but at least you can spend your free time tinkering with your jailbroken iPhone or iPad.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, March 30th to Sunday, April 5th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
With such an unexpected surge in the number of Home Screen folder-augmenting jailbreak tweak releases lately, it can be a tough call when trying to decide which to install. Fortunately, a new release dubbed Folded by iOS developers Thomz and burrit0z appears to be one of the most comprehensive and promising folder-centric tweaks for iOS to date.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, there’s a lot you can accomplish with Folded. It grants users access to a plethora of new settings that stock handset users would drool over, and what’s more is that the tweak is completely free to download.
Those who’ve been with the jailbreak community for a while may remember the times when it was easy to download a third-party app from Cydia to import locally-stored media to iOS’ native Music player, etc. Years later, finding such utilities isn’t so common.
The aforementioned circumstances make the release of a new utility called Audicy by iOS developer Jalal Ouraigua rather significant, as it enables users to easily import media stored on the device itself to iOS’ native Music library from the native user interface(s).
The iPhone sports one of the best software keyboards in the industry, and yet creative members of the jailbreak community always seem to find ways to remind us why we should be asking so much more of Apple as the company releases annual software upgrades.
Enter SwipeExtenderX, a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer qwertyuiop1379 that supercharges the iOS keyboard with up to 20 different swipe gesture-based actions to help make the process of typing on an iPhone even easier than it already is.
So much of our lives are spent using our smartphones these days, and yet they’re still powered by batteries that hardly seem to last a full day without needing a charge. Apple’s Low Power Mode is helpful when you want to take advantage of every last drop of battery life, but when you demand even bigger extremes, a newly released jailbreak tweak called UltraPowerSavingMode by iOS developer Prasa just might be a better choice.
In a nutshell, UltraPowerSavingMode attempts to duplicate the Apple Watch’s Power Reserve mode on the iOS platform, albeit in quite a far more advanced manner. Once toggled, the tweak optimizes your handset’s power usage to help you maximize battery life well beyond what the native Low Power Mode is capable of.
AirDrop is one of the easiest ways to transfer files from one iOS device or Mac to another. On the other hand, some might argue that it’s just a little too easy to use. After just one tap, your file begins transferring to the recipient, whether that tap was intentional or not…
Enter AirDropConfirm, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak created by iOS developer SparkDev that aims to curb accidental AirDrop-centric file transfers by implementing a two-step confirmation dialogue into the AirDrop sharing interface.
It’s always convenient to have quick access to your favorite apps from anywhere, and that’s the primary reason why application launcher extensions have been so popular among jailbreakers over the years. Given their apparent popularity, it only seems fair that we turn the spotlight to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Rofi by iOS developer Kef.
As depicted in the screenshot example above, Rofi hides away on the edge your iOS device’s display as a tab. Once ready to summon the application launcher, users need only tap on the aforementioned tab to view and interact with all the apps hidden within.
Apple officially stopped signing iOS and iPadOS 13.3.1 Tuesday evening, just one week after releasing iOS and iPadOS 13.4 to the general public as an over-the-air software update.
The closing of the signing window means those who’ve upgraded to the newer 13.4 firmware will be unable to downgrade to 13.3.1. This isn’t a big deal for most iPhone or iPad users, but it’s something that can be particularly unsettling for the jailbreak community as software updates frequently patch jailbreak-centric software exploits.
Jailbreakers who are in search of fun and unique ways to make their iPhone’s Lock screen experience stand apart from the crowd will almost certainly want to check out a free jailbreak tweak called FingerLock by iOS developer MTAC.
This tweak puts an aesthetically-pleasing fingerprint-shaped software button on the Lock screen that you can tap to unlock your device rather than pressing the Home button or swiping up on the Home Bar, as shown above. Best of all, this snazzy button is fully-customizable.
Longtime Pokémon game fans, especially of the classic Nintendo Game Boy flavor, may feel a bit nostalgic of the older games at times. Fortunately, if you’re itching for some nostalgic relief and you have a jailbroken iOS device at your disposal, then a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed PokeBar by iOS developer Liberato Aguilar might be able to help.
In the rather conspicuous screenshots above and below, you might’ve ascertained already that PokeBar brings Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow-inspired notification banners to pwned iOS 13 handsets. Moreover, it supports both dark and light themes, depending on your device’s dark mode system settings.
If you’re anything like me, then you like haptic feedback on your iPhone and wish Apple would implement it more broadly across the mobile operating system. While this could certainly happen in the near future as Apple ponders about how it can make iOS better, jailbreakers won’t need to wait thanks to the plethora of readily available jailbreak tweaks that can already bring haptic feedback to miscellaneous interfaces in iOS.
Clockator is a newly released and free extension by iOS developer CydiaGeek that fits this niche subset of add-ons, and as its name suggests, Clockator introduces haptic feedback to Apple’s native Clock app in various ways.
If you’re going stir-crazy while coping with the thought of staying home amid Coronavirus-related social distancing efforts, then the good news is you can use your newfound free time to tinker with your jailbroken iPhone or iPad.
In this roundup, we’ll show you all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, March 23rd to Sunday, March, 29th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
