Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
Pwn20wnd on Thursday released another update for the unc0ver jailbreak tool, bringing it up to version 3.3.3 and making it better for everyday use.
The hacker announced the update this afternoon via Twitter, and from what we can gather, this update mostly seems to contain bug fixes rather than new features of any sort:
If you use the official Twitter app on your jailbroken iOS device, and you’ve been in search of a jailbreak tweak that can help you theme the app however you want, then you’re in luck. A newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called twttr by iOS developer Aesthyrica brings what is purportedly the ‘most advanced’ colorization experience to the Twitter app to date.
As you’ll notice in the screenshot examples above, twttr lets you colorize individual elements in the Twitter app to your liking with seemingly no limitations. Upon installing the tweak and delving into the dedicated preference pane in the Settings app, you’ll confirm this to be quite accurate:
It was just a few days ago that we showed you a jailbreak tweak called ExactTimePhone, which could make your call log history significantly more helpful by detailing the exact time that an incoming or outgoing call transpired if it was more than a few days old. The tweak received lots of positive feedback, but it left the begging question: shouldn’t a similar tweak be made for the Messages app?
If you’re on board with this train of thought, then you’ll probably come to appreciate a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed ExactTimeMessages by iOS developer gilshahar7, as it makes this same concept a reality in iOS’ native Messages app for both iMessage and SMS conversations.
When it comes to your iPhone’s display brightness, you might have a preferred brightness level for both indoor and outdoor usage. Sadly, iOS’ automatic brightness setting tends to be less than optimal, and adjusting the display brightness manually can feel somewhat cumbersome at times.
If you’re in the same boat, then you might want to turn your attention to a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called EasyBrightness by iOS developer gilesgc. This tweak mitigates the problem discussed above by letting you designate a default display brightness level and making it easy to return to it on demand.
As you use iOS, you’ll find that Apple loves to use Blue as the system’s natural tint color. You’ll find this blue tint across various UI elements, including, but not limited to: iMessage chat bubbles, links, loading bars, and even those shortcuts that appear at the top right of the interface as you navigate preference panes in the Settings app.
Blue is a cool color, but if you’d rather have more control over your handset’s tint color, then we’d suggest turning your attention to a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Rainbow by iOS developer Justin Proulx, as it lets you change this color to almost anything you could ever want.
Earlier today, Pwn20wnd released unc0ver v3.3.1 with a zippier jailbreak process and bug fixes for dark mode on the iPad, but as it would seem, the talented hacker wasn’t yet finished refining his jailbreak tool.
Just this afternoon, Pwn20wnd took to Twitter to announce the launch another unc0ver update, this time bringing the tool up to version 3.3.2:
Pwn20wnd released a new update for the unc0ver jailbreak tool Tuesday morning, bringing the official public release up to version 3.3.1.
Pwn20wnd announced the update via Twitter, noting that it would make the jailbreak process significantly faster, especially if you were using the new Sock Puppet exploit by @NedWilliamson:
One of the native apps in iOS that doesn’t get the attention it deserves is the Calculator app. While you could download a more robust third-party alternative from the App Store, the fact remains that the native experience is abysmal at best. For that reason, we’re excited to show you a new free jailbreak tweak called MathTeacher by iOS developer Gabriele Filipponi.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, MathTeacher incorporates several upgrades into iOS’ native Calculator app, making it a significantly more functional math-solving platform than it would have been out of the box.
The Recents tab found in the iPhone’s native Phone app is meant to display a running history of your incoming and outgoing phone call activity, making it easier for you to call someone back or reference a phone number if you ever needed to. Sadly, the timestamps for older phone calls tend to become less descriptive over time, showing only the date and not the timeframe.
Thankfully, a new free jailbreak tweak called ExactTimePhone by iOS developer gilshahar7 can fix this problem. As shown in the before and after screenshot examples above, this tweak makes even your oldest phone history items show a timestamp in addition to the date that it transpired.
For as long as I’ve written about jailbreak tweaks, I’ve seen many different attempts to rethink the iPhone’s native power down menu. To this day, Apple’s native implementation is barebones and lacking in useful features, but when you jailbreak your device, those limitations seem to disappear.
Despite how many times I’ve covered power down menu-centric jailbreak tweaks in the past, it seems as if they continue to look nicer in terms of minimalism with each new release. With that in mind, I’m excited to share with you a new release called PowerMenuX (All Devices) by iOS developer MayBeMe.
The jailbreak tool revisions continue to roll out on Monday, starting with an update launched by the Electra Team early this morning to add more device and firmware support to Chimera for iOS 12.0-.12.3 beta.
The Electra Team announced the release of Chimera version 1.2.4 via Twitter, noting that it added support for 4K (A7-A8) devices running iOS 12.1.3-12.2 and some versions of the iOS 12.3 beta, making it the first modern jailbreak tool to do so:
If you own an iPhone and an Apple Watch, then you know that each device’s Home screen functions in a different way. iOS' Home screen is optimized for a larger display, while watchOS' is optimized for a smaller display; but if you have a soft spot for how the Apple Watch’s Home screen works and fancy the same experience on your iPhone, then today's your lucky day because you'll no longer need to settle.
Enter Honey, a newly-released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Blake Boxberger that ports the Apple Watch’s Home screen experience to iOS devices. As you’ll notice in the screenshot examples above, Honey can be configured to work in several different ways and lets you experience what you love about your Apple Watch right on your iPhone or iPad.
