Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
The checkra1n jailbreak tool has received a minor version bump in an unannounced and somewhat paltry update.
Citing the checkra1n team’s official website, the latest version of the checkm8 bootrom exploit-based jailbreak tool is now v0.9.8.2. The change log published for this particular version is as follows:
If you’re looking for a way to spice up your iPhone or iPad’s native Home screen folder behavior, then there’s a fairly good chance that a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Cartella by iOS developer burrit0z could be right up your alley.
Cartella was designed to let jailbreakers adjust the look and feel of their handset’s Home screen folders. Straight out of the box, it incorporates a plethora of different customization options, including:
One of my favorite features that shipped with iOS 13 was a native system-wide dark mode that’s both aesthetically pleasing and easy on the eyes at night. Unfortunately, Apple left the Home screen’s app icons out of the picture when making dark mode a reality for stock iOS devices.
Here to address that issue head-on is a newly released jailbreak tweak/theme hybrid called Ayedapt by Surenix – a renowned graphic designer in the jailbreak community.
We’ve witnessed a plethora of teasers from Pwn20wnd and the rest of team unc0ver throughout the past week. That said, it might come off as somewhat of a surprise that the checkra1n team launched an updated public beta version of the checkra1n jailbreak Wednesday afternoon, seemingly out of the blue.
The announcement, shared first by checkra1n team member Luca Todesco, denoted that the latest version of the checkra1n jailbreak tool would be v0.9.8.1 and that it would incorporate substantial changes:
The bootrom exploit-based checkra1n jailbreak initially started out as a macOS-only utility for pwning compatible iOS devices, but it soon picked up official Linux support in a later update.
While the circumstances still aren’t ideal for Windows users, it is both possible and somewhat easy to dual-boot Linux on a Windows PC. But that may not be entirely necessary if you have certain Android devices laying around…
iOS has come a long way in recent years, especially in terms of widgets and information displays. But when compared with a lot of the smartphone competition on the market today, iOS (and even iPadOS) still lag behind.
Enter Velox Reloaded, a stunning new jailbreak tweak by ApexTweaks that introduces quirky system widgets with handy functionalities directly to your iPhone or iPad’s Home screen via the very same grid-space that you use to store application icons.
As you use apps on your iPhone or iPad, your App Switcher begins to accumulate a running history of recently used apps in the order you’ve use them. These apps are suspended in a frozen state to make multitasking more efficient, but even suspended apps use some of your handset’s RAM to make relaunching them faster.
iOS automatically manages your device’s memory to ensure smooth operation, but if you’re a RAM nut then you may habitually force-close all your App Switcher’s suspended apps when you finish using your device. QuitAll is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Dave van Wijk that lets you do this in one fell swoop as opposed to swiping up on each of the App Switcher’s individual app preview cards.
If you’re jailbroken and you’re ready to do away with the same-old boring iOS interface that you’ve been gawking at for years, then you might take a liking to a newly released jailbreak tweak called FireflyX by iOS developer Sirius24.
FireflyX empowers jailbreakers with the ability to customize their device’s aesthetics at the molecular level with colorful borders, underglows, and animations, among other things. These effects are applicable to a several of user interface elements including the Home screen’s app icons, Dock, Folders, and even the notification banners or widgets that appear in the Today view.
No matter what jailbreak you might be using, or what package manager you might prefer, one thing we all have in common as a community is the desire to customize our liberated handsets beyond that of Apple’s stock parameters.
Those looking for new jailbreak tweaks will find this piece helpful, as it contains all the latest releases from Monday, February 24th to Sunday, March 1st. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Control Center is one of the interfaces I use the most often on my iPhone, and while I applaud Apple for having an all-in-one command center for toggles and shortcuts, that doesn’t stop me from thinking that the design is beginning to look stale and that it’s a bit light on features.
A new jailbreak tweak called Prysm designed by thetimeloop and brought to life by iOS developer LaughingQuoll aims to resolve some of these gripes by giving Control Center a complete aesthetic overhaul and adding useful features to the interface while maintaining compatibility with other Control Center-centric add-ons for jailbroken handsets.
If you use folders to organize the plethora of apps residing on your iOS device’s Home screen, then you’ve likely come to realize just how monotonous they can look, especially in large numbers.
A newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Foldy by iOS developer Thomz aims to resolve this concern by offering jailbreakers novel ways of personalizing the look and feel of their Home screen folders.
If you’re enjoying the perks of having a jailbroken iOS 13 device thanks to checkra1n or unc0ver and you’re looking for something to get you started in the interface customization department, then one thing you might want to check out is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed ColorfulNotifs by iOS developer neoney.
As you may have inferred already from the tweak’s somewhat conspicuous name, ColorfulNotifs applies custom color schemes to your handset’s incoming notification banners.
