iOS 10.2 jailbreak could come via YaluX update

Joaquim Barbosa ∙ January 9, 2017

The creator of the iOS 10.1.x jailbreak YaluX has announced that he intends to update the tool, currently in beta, to add support for iOS 10.2. Luca Todesco tweeted that his solution for the instability of the early builds of his tool has tangentially allowed for compatibility with the most recent firmware, news which will no doubt delight many in the jailbreak community who are trapped on iOS 10.2, and who have been lamenting the death of the jailbreak on currently signed firmwares.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: CasualAlarm, MultiActions, & more…

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 8, 2017

This week wasn't quite as busy in terms of jailbreak tweak releases as the last was, but it's still a lot higher than it has been these last several months without a stable public jailbreak for the latest iOS firmware versions.

In this roundup, we'll talk about all the jailbreak tweaks that were launched throughout this past week. We'll start with our favorites and move on to the rest afterwards.

AutoLaunch can re-launch apps after they crash unexpectedly [jailbreak]

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 8, 2017

Apps, whether they're downloaded from the App Store or Cydia, can crash from time to time because of underlying bugs, and re-launching it will sometimes let you go about using the app without any issues.

If you use a particular app that seems to crash here and there, then a new free jailbreak tweak called AutoLaunch could be your next best friend. It can automatically re-launch any app that crashes on your device so you don't have to re-launch it yourself.

Littlemoji shrinks the large Emojis in the Messages app on iOS 10

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 8, 2017

Starting with iOS 10, Apple has super-sized all of the Emojis that you send and receive via iMessage whenever they’re used without any complementary text.

Because the Emoji experience on iOS 10 feels a lot more like Facebook Messenger’s sticker system now and not everyone’s on board with it, a new free jailbreak tweak called Littlemoji can be used to return them back to their pre-iOS 10 size.

MultiActions lets you move and delete apps in bulk

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 7, 2017

One of the major shortcomings for those with iPhones and iPads, especially those with lots of apps installed on them, is the fact that you have to move or delete your apps one at a time. This becomes cumbersome when you want to put a number of your apps in or out of folders or delete multiple apps at once.

A new jailbreak tweak called MultiActions, on the other hand, will exclude your device from these shortcomings, as it allows you to move or delete multiple apps in bulk without having to do things one at a time.

TSSChecker now correctly supports iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus

Joaquim Barbosa ∙ Updated February 23, 2021

It seems tihmstar has been busy putting right the flaws in his suite of tools; just one week after he revealed that a bug in his .shsh2 saving tool TSSChecker had led to all iPhone 7(+) blobs saved with it being invalid, a new update restores the ability to correctly save blobs on Apple's most recent flagship device.

Yalu + mach_portal now supports TSMC models: still unstable

Joaquim Barbosa ∙ January 6, 2017

Luca Todesco's beta jailbreak for iOS 10.1.x, dubbed YaluX or Yalu + mach_portal, slightly broadened its device support list recently by adding the iPhone SE (TSMC chip version) and iPhone 6s(+) (TSMC chip version) to the club. Bear in mind, we do not yet recommend the tool to the average user, and Todesco himself has spoken of the possible difficulties brought about by too many people making use of the tool in its unfinished state.

NoTodayView disables the Spotlight widget page on the Home and Lock screens

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 5, 2017

NoTodayView is a new free jailbreak tweak for iOS 10 devices that can disable the Spotlight widget page on both the Home screen and Lock screen, which depending on how you use your device, can be very useful.

While most people like to use the Spotlight and widget page system that comes stock, it gets in the way when you try to use some other Home screen-modifying jailbreak tweaks like Mobius, which allow you to scroll infinitely through all of your Home screen pages and folders without coming to any dead-ends.

AntennaGIFDL lets you download GIFs from the Antenna Reddit client app

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 5, 2017

If you prefer the Antenna Reddit client over the default app from the service itself, then you’re probably familiar with the fact that it lacks a way to download animated GIF images when viewing them from the app.

A new free jailbreak tweak called AntennaGIFDL fixes that by building in a way to download animated GIF images from the Antenna app straight to your device’s Camera Roll.

CasualAlarm uses random songs from your music library for alarm sounds

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated December 12, 2022

Tons of people use their iPhone as a means of waking up every morning thanks to the built-in alarm feature, and while there are a number of alarm tones to pick from and despite being able to choose any local song on your device as an alarm sound, there is very little diversity whenever you choose either of these methods.

A new free jailbreak tweak called CasualAlarm aims to spice things up by randomizing whatever your alarm might be when it’s time to wake up in the morning, and it does this by shuffling through your very own music library. With it, you will have something different to listen to each morning when it’s time to wake up.

Hide or show your Home screen dock on demand with ShyDock

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 4, 2017

In macOS, you can configure your application dock to hide away and only appear when you need it, so wouldn’t it be nice to bring that kind of functionality over to your iPhone or iPad as well?

With a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed ShyDock, you can hide or show your app dock on demand with a simple Activator action.
