How to add the BigBoss repository to Sileo

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how you can add the official BigBoss repository to your Sileo package manager right now.

BigBoss repository now uses SHA256, paving the way for Sileo support

In an unexpected turn of events this weekend, @0ptimo added official SHA256 support to the BigBoss repository, a move that looks to appease the Sileo Team as an increasing number of people use the Electra Team’s Chimera jailbreak to take advantage of the full-fledged A12(X) support in the here and now.

Sileo Team lead developer CoolStar acknowledged the change just this evening via Twitter, noting that an upcoming update for the Sileo package manager will implement native support for the newly-upgraded BigBoss repository:

InstallProtect12 makes you authenticate yourself to install or uninstall jailbreak packages

InstallProtect12 is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak created by iOS developer Castyte, and we’re particularly excited to show it to you.

While most jailbreak tweaks are somewhat subjective depending on the user, this one seems like a no-brainer for most as it seriously augments the jailbroken handset experience on all fronts. More specifically, it necessitates biometric authentication to manage packages in three of the most popular package management apps, including Cydia, Sileo, and Zebra.

Dapple lets you colorize your iPhone’s Status Bar

One of the most exciting things you can do with a jailbroken handset to help it stand out from the crowd is customize its aesthetics. There are many ways you can do this, from applying themes to installing tweaks that change system colors and more.

One of the latest releases that can help in this department is a jailbreak tweak called Dapple by iOS developer dpkg_, which lets users colorize their iOS device’s Status Bar on a per-item basis.

This tweak enables all Live Photos-centric features on unsupported handsets

Live Photos is one of iOS’ fun and quirky proprietary features that brings many of your photographs and wallpaper backgrounds to life. Unfortunately, Apple limits Live Photos functionality on many of its older handsets, such as the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and SE, to name a few.

If you use any of the aforementioned handsets and you’re bummed about having a gimped Live Photos experience, then you might want to turn your attention to a newly-released jailbreak tweak called LivePhotoForNon3DTouch by iOS developer anima.

Sileo v1.1.0 released with bug fixes and code optimizations

In an unexpected turn of events Friday evening, the Sileo Team announced the release of an updated version of the Sileo package manager for the Chimera and Electra jailbreaks. The latest version of Sileo is now v1.1.0.

The Sileo Team announced the news just moments ago via Twitter, denoting what was new in the update and how it would impact users:

Rishima brings the iOS 13 volume HUD to jailbroken devices

Apple’s upcoming iOS 13 and iPadOS firmware updates come jam-packed with new features that are certain to have jailbreakers’ mouths watering.

Fortunately, the jailbreak community has a way of porting many of Apple’s latest software features to older versions of iOS such that jailbreakers don’t feel so bad about not upgrading, and a new free jailbreak tweak release called Rishima (BETA) by iOS developer iKilledAppl3 is an excellent example of this.

ImageCorrect brings image-based text replacement to iOS

iOS comes with a native text replacement feature that lets users set shortcuts that will automatically expand to full words or phrases when typed. But wouldn’t it be neat if the same concept applied for images?

I’ve long wondered about this myself, and so I’m excited to share that a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed ImageCorrect by iOS developer Satvik Borra brings this feature to pwned handsets.

Give your jailbroken handset a clean new aesthetic with Vibrancy

If you’re interested in giving your jailbroken handset a refreshingly-pleasant aesthetic makeover, then you just might want to turn your attention to a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Vibrancy by iOS developer Dylan Duff.

Vibrancy transforms the look and feel of your iOS device by adding bright and vibrant blurs to many of your handset’s user interface. Out of the box, Vibrancy supports each of the following components of iOS:

SiriUnlock lets you access more data with Siri without unlocking your handset

Siri can make interacting with your iOS handset easier, and more specifically, the ‘Hey Siri’ feature comes in handy when you have dirty hands and you don’t want to touch your device. But when your handset is locked, Apple prevents Siri from accessing certain things to protect your privacy from those who may try to exploit her handiness to reveal personal information about you.

While we can understand Apple’s reasoning for doing this, we also understand that some iOS device power users care more about functionality than privacy, and so it would’ve been nice if Apple offered more flexibility in this department. Fortunately, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called SiriUnlock by iOS developer CokePokes makes this happen.

SilentMaps makes iOS’ Maps-centric voice navigation more music-friendly

Apple’s Maps app comes in handy for me more times than I can count when I need help getting to my destination, but for what it’s worth, the app’s voice navigation tends to become a nuisance when I’m trying to listen to music at the same time.

SilentMaps is a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer LonestarX that aims to resolve this problem by replacing the native Maps app’s voice-centric navigation with subtle sound effects that let you know when a critical turn on your route is near.
