In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia this week. As usual, we’ll begin by showcasing our favorites and then outline the rest of them afterward.
One of the major improvements that shipped with iOS 11 was the operating system’s redesigned modular Control Center interface. But as nice as it is, it still leaves a bit to be desired.
Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak called BetterCCXI by iOS developer ATWiiks lets you resolve some of the shortcomings that are present in iOS 11’s Control Center interface.
iOS 11 introduced a polarizing makeover for notifications on the Lock screen, Notification Center, and throughout the rest of the operating system. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is onboard with the redesign.
Fortunately, you now have the option of rolling back the look and feel of your iPhone or iPad’s incoming notifications with a new free jailbreak tweak called Nine by iOS developer Jake Kaslewicz.
For all those Pokémon aficionados out there, PokeCall is a new jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Frozen Penguin that makes your iPhone’s incoming call interface look more like a battle screen from the classic Pokémon games.
In the screenshot examples above, you can see examples of how PokeCall replaces the stock incoming call interface in iOS with a Pokémon-centric look and feel.
If you like haptic feedback, then HapLock is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer smokion1337 that you won’t want to miss.
Just as the name implies, HapLock makes your handset vibrate whenever you lock it or unlock it.
There have been unrivaled amounts of excitement throughout the jailbreak community this week in response to all the hubbub surrounding the Electra Team’s progress on bringing iOS 11.3.1 support to the Electra jailbreak tool. And that’s great for tweak developers.
So with that in mind, we’ll be talking about all the best jailbreak tweaks released this week in this roundup. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorites and then outline the rest of them afterward.
Jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad has long been considered a taboo practice by Apple, the manufacturer of these handsets. And now an updated support page published on the Cupertino-based company’s website discourages jailbreaking in its entirety.
The page, updated on June 15th, targets a bevy of potential side-effects from jailbreaking your device. These include, but aren’t limited to:
Face ID is an incredibly convenient way of unlocking your iPhone X… that is, when it works. The modern security feature sometimes skips out on us when we need it the most, and retrying it requires you to follow cumbersome steps.
Fortunately, iOS developer gilshahar7 has released a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed PearlRetry, which strives to be the ultimate solution to this widespread problem for jailbreakers.
As we inch closer to the imminent release of an Electra jailbreak tool with support for iOS 11.2-11.3.1, we’re beginning to see exciting tidbits and teasers from the developers of the Electra Team that are actively working on it.
Among those was a Tweet shared by @nullriver, which incorporates numerous screenshots depicting the iconic Cydia app running on iOS 11.3.1:
It wasn’t long ago that security researcher Ian Beer released a handful of convenient exploits for some of the latest iterations of iOS 11, and now CoolStar's Electra jailbreak tool is well on its way to supporting these particular firmware versions as a result.
While the official Electra web page hasn’t been updated with a new version of the tool just yet, the Electra Team continues to update the jailbreak community with progress milestone announcements as they transpire.
Apple isn’t planning to release iOS 12 to the masses until sometime this Fall, but that hasn’t stopped renowned security researcher Liang Chen of KeenLab from flexing his digital muscles.
Chen shared the following video this weekend from his Twitter account that depicts a working jailbreak on an iPhone X running iOS 12 beta 1:
There are some exciting things happening in the jailbreak community as of late, especially since CoolStar is getting the chance to bring iOS 11.3.1 support to the popular Electra jailbreak tool thanks to Ian Beer’s new tfp0 exploit.
