Check out the most comprehensive jailbreaking coverage on the internet, including the latest news, apps, tweaks, and detailed tutorials about everything jailbreak.
On 3D Touch-enabled devices, you can access your App Switcher with a 3D Touch gesture on the left side of the display. Once you observe the screen beginning to shrink down, simply follow through with a rightward swipe.
With a new free jailbreak tweak ForceTouchSwitcher by iOS developer CydiaGeek, you can further customize your App Switcher-based 3D Touch gestures.
When you’re browsing Cydia’s latest releases and looking for new extensions install, you typically need to tap on each individual one just to see the author behind them.
With a new free jailbreak tweak called WhoMadeIt by iOS developer PoomSmart, that’s no longer the case. This tweak displays the author’s name next to the package's name in Cydia’s Changes tab, as shown.
Programmer and iOS expert axi0mX has just announced that he is posting the decryption keys for all S5L8942 devices on the iPhone Wiki today. The availability of keys will allow all sorts of fun hackery for devices which sport the processor in question.
The Today page, accessible in both Notification Center and Spotlight, typically displays the date above all the widgets you've enabled. On stock devices, the date is aligned to the right.
While the right-aligned date doesn't look bad, having a centered date doesn't look too bad either, and with a new free jailbreak tweak called CenteredDate by iOS developer dahamtob, you can center Today page's date indicator for a more aesthetically-pleasing effect.
One of the newest jailbreak tweaks to hit the Cydia store this week is TransparNC (iOS 10) by iOS developer FromDerik.
This tweak gives your inbound notifications on the Lock screen and in Notification Center a polarizing and fully transparent makeover, eliminating the background that generally sets your notifications apart from your background.
The iOS Home screen has always left a lot to be desired. Being nothing more than a wall of app icons, you really can’t get useful information on the Home screen without using a 3D Touch gesture or swiping over to the Today widget page.
A new jailbreak tweak called Vigor by the AtomDevTeam changes that by displaying useful information directly inside your app icons, making it easier to see at a glance.
When you let someone hold your iPhone to look at a picture or two in your Camera Roll, do you ever get the voice of reason in your head that says, “I hope they don’t swipe into the rest of my photos?”
If you do, then you might want to try a new jailbreak tweak called SurpriseSelfie by iOS developer Frozen Penguin. This tweak provides management options for locking people out of the rest of your photos or to impose consequences if they try.
The jailbreak community has been a bit slower than usual lately, but that's not to say things have gone stale. Great projects are under development that haven't been released just yet. Without spoiling those, however, we'll talk first about those that have been released already.
In this roundup, we'll discuss all of the jailbreak tweaks that were released throughout the past work week, starting with our favorites and finishing up with the rest afterward.
One of the critical shortcomings of iOS is how the Photos app doesn’t display animated GIFs as they’re meant to be seen. Instead, opening one reveals a still image, which is a single frame of the animated GIF you’re trying to view.
Users have requested animated GIF support for years, but Apple waited until iOS 11 (Fall of 2017) to finally implement it. On the other hand, if you plan on keeping your jailbreak after the release of iOS 11 this Fall, you can use a new free tweak called GIFRoll by iOS developer isklikas to enable animated GIF support in the Photos app ahead of time.
The App Switcher in iOS automatically opens to the app you last used upon launch rather than the one you were using when you opened the interface, and love it or hate it, a new free jailbreak tweak called AppSwitchCurrent (9 % 10) by iOS developer DGh0st flips this concept around.
If you use a passcode to unlock your iPhone or iPad, then you know how important it is to keep other people from seeing the digits you tap on to get into your device.
Since people are inclined to pay more attention to the numbers you tap rather than the pattern of the buttons, a new free jailbreak tweak called DummyPass by iOS developer Wisy uses this concept to your advantage.
For security reasons, the Yalu and extra_recipe jailbreaks have confined SSH connections to USB only. This is sufficient for most, but power users may wish to enable wireless SSH connections for convenience. Additionally, the Dropbear client that these jailbreaks use to manage SSH does not bundle SCP or SFTP, the commands most often used for pushing files to and from your iOS device over SSH.
In this guide, we'll set about fixing up both these issues, to leave you with a more fully-configured SSH client.
