Anyone that does serious multitasking between devices, especially with regard to their iPhone or iPad and their personal computer, is certain to take a liking to a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Boardy by iOS developer Greg0109.
One of the many things iOS users may notice is that Apple spends lots of time refining the platform’s user experience with each and every substantial iteration, paying special attention to user-friendliness regardless of what a user’s age or technical know-how might be. One of the unfortunate burn backs of having such a foolproof platform is that users aren’t typically provided with much by way of advanced settings.
While the issue above can be somewhat of a bummer to those more knowledgeable in the arts of technology, the good news is that jailbreakers aren’t bound by the confines of Apple’s interface simplicity. Jailbreak tweaks, such as the newly released Yobun Pro by iOS developer Plat Ykor, offers convenient shortcuts for advanced controls that iPhone users can’t normally access on a stock handset.
While a lot of iPhone users tend to be sticklers when it comes to their handset’s battery level and keeping it charged up, we also see a fair share of folks who don’t seem to mind gambling on the cusp of a completely dead or just barely charged device. Can anyone say “triggered?”
BatteryFlow Reborn is a new and free jailbreak tweak developed by ItzNebbs with the intent of making iPhone users more actively aware of their handset’s low battery situation by continuously bombarding them with notification alerts and banners.
There’ve been a lot of exciting announcements in the jailbreak community these past few weeks, from checkra1n getting support for A10(X) devices, to the release of a new exploit encompassing iOS 13.5.1-13.7 and the jailbreak tools that received support thereafter. These announcements make it that much more exciting for us to showcase jailbreak tweak releases as they become available.
In this roundup, we’ll show you all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, November 16th to Sunday, November 22nd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite tweaks first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward, where we’ll also give you a summarized outline of all the most exciting jailbreak news from this past week.
Apple has improved the multitasking experience on the iPad by leaps and bounds over the years – quite literally going from an iPhone-style App Switcher to side-by-side apps over the course of just a few years. But for whatever reason, multitasking on the iPhone still bestows upon users what some might consider to be a cumbersome experience.
Those wishing that they could simply run windowed applications on their iPhone just as they can on their Mac or Windows PC might take a liking to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Fuji by iOS developer dcsyhi, because as depicted in the series of screenshot examples above, that’s precisely what this tweak allows iPhone users to do.
Lots of iPhone users take their handset’s battery performance very seriously, and given just how much of our lives appear to be driven by the apps we use every day, this doesn’t come off as much of a surprise.
While the iPhone’s Status Bar displays a persistent battery level indicator to alert users to the current charge state of their device, one thing it doesn’t do is provide users with an adequate understanding of the current load on their battery. That’s where a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed BattRate by iOS developer Julio Verne comes into play.
Those suffering from impaired vision may find it more challenging to read web pages in the Safari web browser on the iPhone and iPad. While pinch to zoom offers a viable short-term solution, it doesn’t necessarily make reading websites with tiny text any less cumbersome because users would still need to pan and scroll around on the website to keep zoomed text in sight while reading.
SafariReader is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer ljinc that sets out to offer a more ideal solution to the aforementioned qualm. It does so by empowering the user to adjust the website’s text zoom level with nothing more than a double-tap.
Perhaps you’ve got a jailbroken iPhone or iPad and you’re looking to personalize your handset’s user interface more than you can out of the box. Or perhaps you’re happy with the user interface, but simply wish that you could use different colors than the ones Apple provides to you.
If either of the aforementioned circumstances sounds like it applies to you, then we think you’re going to enjoy a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed ProjectX by iOS developer Ethan Whited, as it can make colorizing the iOS or iPadOS user interface, regardless of the app, possible with just a few taps.
Fleets are a type of disappearing Tweet that Twitter integrated into its social media platform just this week. Fleets are visible to the user’s audience for a period lasting up to 24 hours, and if you haven’t already noticed, they appear at the top of your Twitter app user interface in the form of round circles with the user’s profile picture inside of them.
While Fleets are obviously Twitter attempting to stay relevant with addicting services like Snapchat, some users (myself included) don’t really care for the feature in the slightest. If you feel the same way and have a jailbroken handset at your disposal, then we think you might take a liking to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed FleetingChances by iOS developer Ian Welker.
Apple makes it easy to discern the state of your iPhone’s battery, not only with a convenient icon in the Status Bar that depicts the current charge level, but also with unique colors that hint about its current condition. For example, a green battery icon indicates a good charge, while a yellow battery icon means that Low Power Mode is turned on and a red battery icon suggests a low charge.
Apple has used the same colors to depict battery states for as long as I can remember, and so it tends to be somewhat monotonous. Fortunately, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Eliza by iOS developer WilsontheWolf provides the Status Bar’s battery icon with a wider range of colors to help it express your current battery state.
It goes without saying that Control Center would be one of the more advantageous additions to iOS over the years. But despite how great Control Center is, that hasn’t stopped the jailbreak community from tweaking it in imaginative ways to make it better for the end user.
One such example is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak known as CCCounters by iOS developer 0xkuj. Once installed, CCCounters monitors Control Center toggle usage and displays the most recent instance in which those toggles were switched on or off.
The jailbreak community is in a perpetual state of anticipation as we wait for the checkra1n team to expand support for newer devices and for recent exploit developments to be released such that other jailbreak teams may take advantage of them in their tools. That aside, jailbreak tweak releases continue, and that’s why this piece exists.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the latest jailbreak tweaks released between Monday, November 9th and Sunday, November 15th. As you might come to expect, we’ll start by discussing our favorite releases first and then we’ll wrap things up with an outline of everything else afterward.
