Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
Saurik issued a rare official update for Cydia Substrate on Sunday, officially bringing the native tweak injection method for the checkra1n and unc0ver jailbreaks up to version 0.9.7100.
Although Saurik hasn’t made any official announcements on Twitter about the update, checkra1n and unc0ver co-developer Sam Bingner made a post on /r/jailbreak describing this new Cydia Substrate update.
If you’re in the market to customize the way your jailbroken iPhone’s Control Center interface looks, then you probably won’t want to miss out a newly released jailbreak tweak called Magma Evo by iOS developer NoisyFlake.
As shown in the screenshot examples above, Magma Evo can be used to colorize and personalize your Control Center interface in more ways than one, and it integrates a plethora of options for doing so.
iOS’ notification system is long overdue for a visual overhaul, and it remains to be seen if Apple is working on any sort of first-party solution to this popular grievance among iOS device users.
Fortunately for jailbreakers, a newly released jailbreak tweak called Grupi by iOS developers Soongyu Kwon and Timeloop spearheads an effort to make iOS’ notification experience a whole lot better without needing to wait for an official solution from Apple.
There are now a plethora of different ways that you can enjoy a jailbroken iOS experience, but whether you’re using checkra1n, Chimera, or unc0ver to achieve that state, the exciting ways of personalizing your handset are one and the same.
If you’re in the market for some new jailbreak tweaks to give your handset more purpose in your everyday life, then you’ve come to the right place. This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, January 5th to Sunday, January 12th.
In the absence of any updates to Saurik’s jailbreak-centric Cydia Impactor tool since it stopped working several months ago, Chimera, Electra, and unc0ver jailbreak users have faced frustrating times. Luckily, a working alternative called AltDeploy made its first public debut a few days ago.
Just this weekend, AltDeploy received its second official update since being released. The latest update brings the young side-loading utility up to version 1.1 and incorporates both bug fixes and improvements that help make the app better for end users.
The Zebra package manager for jailbroken iOS devices received a fresh update Friday evening, officially bringing the software up to version 1.0.5.
Just like previous updates issued before today, Zebra 1.0.5 incorporates beaucoup bug fixes and improvements that are expected to improve the package manager’s user experience in day-to-day usage.
Depending on how you use your iPhone, you might prefer to crank up the volume in certain apps and leave others at a lower volume level. Apple doesn’t provide volume-tuning of this magnitude in iOS out of the box, but with a jailbreak tweak called Volumizer by iOS developer SynnyG, you can have your cake and eat it too.
Volumizer brings beaucoup improvements to the iOS volume level experience, including per-app volume settings, improvements for landscape orientation, and more.
If you’re lucky enough to own a pair of Apple’s new AirPods Pro, then you already know just how great their active noise cancellation is in terms of augmenting your audio’s sound quality. On the other hand, we can think of a few different ways that the implementation in iOS could be improved in daily usage.
Enter Banana, a new and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer LaughingQuoll that makes the AirPods Pro’s transition from active noise cancellation mode to transparency mode an automatic process, depending on what the user is doing.
Personal Hotspot is an indispensable feature of my iPhone that I use virtually every day as I move out of range of Wi-Fi, and while Apple has made it super easy to pair other iOS devices with the tap of a button, the same can’t be said about non-iOS devices, which often necessitate that you enter the hotspot’s password manually.
If you’re lazy like me and hate having to take the aforementioned steps when you or a friend attempts to connect a new device, then you just might come to appreciate a new and free jailbreak tweak called HotspotQR by iOS developer KingPuffdaddi.
When it comes to the features people use most on their iPhones, Reachability is somewhat of a moot point, especially for those with hands large enough to finagle with Apple’s largest handsets. Apple provides a way to disable Reachability if you never use it, but wouldn’t it make sense to repurpose the interface instead of disabling it entirely?
Playing on this train of thought is a newly released jailbreak tweak called Assistability13 by iOS developer DODGraphics, which implements an AssistiveTouch-inspired shortcut palette into iOS’ native Reachability interface.
One of the most substantial things to happen in the jailbreak community in the past decade was the release of @axi0mX’s hardware-based checkm8 bootrom exploit. This exploit can’t be patched by Apple in a software update, and it essentially guarantees the jailbreakability of several of Apple’s devices using the A5-A11 SoC for life.
While checkm8 is already being used in the checkra1n jailbreak for handsets ranging from the iPhone 5s to the iPhone X, it’s also true that the same exploit can be used to jailbreak compatible Apple TV units. The newest Apple TV, on the other hand, purportedly sports a hidden Lightning port that would necessitate a special adapter to utilize for such an exploit.
When it comes to installing jailbreak tweaks on a pwned handset, my motto has always been that it’s best to install an all-in-one tweak instead of a plethora of one-off add-ons. Not only can this be beneficial from a performance standpoint, but it also keeps your installed tweak list nice and tidy in any package manager that you might be using.
Depending on what your needs are as a jailbreaker, finding the best all-in-one tweak can be a challenge. While there have been some notable releases in the past, many cost money of some sort. Fortunately, a new release called Kage by iOS developer YaYPIXXO brings a slew of customization options to both the Home screen and Lock screen at no extra cost to you.
