Indy brings interactive features to the Status Bar of jailbroken iPhones
Your iPhone’s Status Bar is great for giving you at-a-glance information about your handset, be it your current battery level, wireless connection strength, or the time. On the other hand, the Status Bar is also perhaps one of iOS’ most underutilized interface elements.
This is something that iOS developer Burrit0z wanted to change about the iPhone’s user experience, and so he created a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Indy to do just that. As you can discern for yourself in the screenshot examples above, the tweak gives users a lot more insight about information depicted by Status Bar indicators with no more than a tap.
Altilium alerts you of low battery a third time at a percentage you choose
If you put your iPhone through a hard days’ worth of work without any charging, then chances are you’ll eventually see the 20% and perhaps even the 10% battery remaining alerts as the handset’s battery percentage falls. Still, 20% battery is enough to get you through a solid hour of use, and many people have a tendency to dismiss these alerts until their battery level gets so low that the device finally dies.
Because of the aforementioned circumstances, iOS developer quiprr figured that it might be beneficial for iPhone users to have a third low battery level alert at a user-designated percentage. With that thought in mind, a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Altilium was conveniently conceived.

Selenium lets jailbreakers ‘snooze’ individual notifications until later
Whether you’re busy and just can’t get to notifications right this very second or you simply wish you had the ability in iOS to save specific notifications for a future time or date, we believe a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Selenium by iOS developer LGAriv provides an optimal solution for both of these potential scenarios.
Selenium is being marketed by the developer as a notification-snoozing interface for the iOS platform. It’s used to make specific notifications disappear for a certain amount of time before reappearing in the same place they were originally snoozed from. Moreover, reappearing notifications include a helpful indicator to remind the user that they were previously snoozed with Selenium.
