Pangu to release the first jailbreak for the new Apple TV next week

Hot on the heels of their surprising iOS 9.1 jailbreak announcement Friday morning, the Pangu Team has now announced on Twitter that they will be releasing a jailbreak for Apple TV 4 running tvOS 9.0 or 9.0.1 next week.

Although the team notes that this jailbreak will only provide SSH access (no UI) and be geared towards security researchers and jailbreak developers, this is still an incredible piece of news.

Pangu Team releases Pangu jailbreak for iOS 9.1

Seemingly out of nowhere, the Pangu Team released a Pangu jailbreak for iOS 9.1 today. Bringing the tool to version 1.3.0, the jailbreak is only compatible with 64 bit devices, including iPhone 5s and up, as well as iPad mini 2 and up.

The team notes on Twitter that the jailbreak was made possible thanks to a kernel bug from Lokihardt to exploit iOS 9.1, but unfortunately, that bug is patched in iOS 9.2, which probably explains the timing of the release of this specific tool today.

Locktionary: search the iOS dictionary from the Lock screen

Locktionary is a new jailbreak tweak that can be had for free from Cydia's BigBoss repository that will let you search for the definition of any word right from the Lock screen.

The tweak offers a simple way to quickly figure the meaning of a word without having to be vocal with Siri and without even having to unlock your iPhone. In this piece, we'll walk you through how the tweak works and let you know what we think about it.

SmartBanners lets you customize your iOS banner notifications

Your notification banners are an intimate part of your iOS experience that you use to interact with apps and people on a daily basis. With that being said, wouldn't it be nice if you could customize some of their features a little bit?

A new free jailbreak tweak called SmartBanners is now available in Cydia's BigBoss repository free of cost, and will give users a myriad of configuration options to customize the look and behavior of their notification banners. In this piece, we'll take you through a bit of how the tweak works.

FastShare: use Activator to quickly share content to Facebook, Twitter, and Messages from anywhere

FastShare is a new jailbreak tweak available in Cydia's BigBoss repository for $1.49 that lets you harness the power of Activator to allow you to more easily share information with your friends, family, and followers.

The tweak comes with a unique interface for sharing information across your favorite social mediums, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Messages, and it includes options that you can configure to your liking so the tweak looks and behaves how you want it to.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: PreferenceTag3 & more…

Every Sunday we come at you with a roundup of all the jailbreak tweaks that get released in Cydia, and this week will be no different.

This week we haven't had any groundbreaking new tweak releases, but there have been some worth talking about. We'll go over our favorites first and then give you an outline of the other new releases.

Postman: manually check for new emails from anywhere [jailbreak]

Normally, when you want to check to see if you have any new emails, you have to launch the Mail app and pull down to refresh the email inbox of your choice.

If you're already in the middle of something, stopping what you're doing to check to see if you have any emails is obtrusive. It would be so much better if you could just refresh your email from anywhere without leaving what you are currently doing in another app.

That's exactly what a new free jailbreak tweak called Postman is going to allow you to do, and it works with a key ingredient that most jailbreakers are already familiar with.

PaperGram sets your wallpaper to pictures from any Instagram feed

Wallpapers are one of those things that we often like to change up on our iPhones every so often, and it can be difficult to choose the right one at times.

A new free jailbreak tweak called PaperGram eliminates the process of having to choose a wallpaper yourself by automatically setting your wallpaper to something different at time increments of your choice. What's more is it sources the wallpaper images from Instagram, whether you're an Instagram user or not.

PreferenceTag3 lets you organize the iOS Settings app your own way

If you're like me, then you don't use every single setting that your iPhone comes with, and it would make life easier in the organization department if you could move around your Settings app's preference cells and hide the ones you don't use.

If this functionality sounds useful to you, then PreferenceTag3, which is a jailbreak tweak you can grab from Cydia for $1.99, is going to be your new best friend because it'll let your organize your Settings app exactly how you like it.

In this review, we'll show you what PreferenceTag3 is all about and how it works.

SafariHistory lets you quickly and selectively delete Safari history on your iPhone

SafariHistory is a handy new jailbreak tweak that is now available for free in Cydia and it will give Safari users that don't use Private Browsing mode an easier way to delete their Safari history in bulk.

Although Safari on your iPhone and iPad includes a 'Clear' button to quickly delete all of your browsing history, the only way to delete individual history items is to swipe to the left on them to reveal the red "Delete" button, and this can take forever.

SafariHistory instead makes it easier to remove individual items in bulk without clearing your entire Safari browsing history, as you're about to see in this review.
