All iOS devices come standard with a finely-polished Weather app and a Weather-centric Notification Center/Today widget, but wouldn’t it be nice if that same weather information appeared in places that actually mattered?
Asteroid is a new free jailbreak tweak developed by MidnightChips and The Casle that brings live weather information to various interfaces found throughout iOS, such as the Home screen, the Lock screen, and the Weather app icon itself.
If you’re more popular than the average individual, then you probably get barraged with iMessages and other notifications as you sleep and throughout the day. iOS automatically stacks these missed notifications on your Lock screen to be reviewed later, and you can clear them individually or all in one fell swoop with a 3D Touch gesture.
Apple’s 3D Touch implementation in this regard is neat, but it’s not perfect, and it’s very much a two-step process. A free jailbreak tweak called LSPullToDismiss by iOS developer SparkDev reduces the number of steps required to clear all Lock screen notifications at one time, and it feels more natural than a 3D Touch gesture would.
Spotify Music is perhaps one of the most popular alternatives to Apple Music on the iOS platform, but if you sport a jailbroken handset, then you probably enjoy the thought of customizing the Spotify app.
Assuming you fall under the category mentioned above, a new free jailbreak tweak called Xanify by iOS developer Codey Moore might be of interest. This tweak lets you address several pain points in Spotify and customize the app to your liking.
Whether you’re using Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver tool or something else to achieve a jailbreak on your beloved iPhone or iPad, chances are you’re looking for cool new jailbreak tweaks to bring out the best in your newly-pwned handset.
This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks we’ve shown you this week, starting Monday, December 10th to Sunday, December 16th.
You can undoubtedly multitask on an iPhone or iPad, but Apple's implementation leaves a lot to be desired. That’s why iOS developer Kane Buckthorpe released a new jailbreak tweak called EasyAccess.
As you might come to expect from the tweak’s name, EasyAccess intends to make multitasking more usable on the iOS platform. This tweak lets you perform actions in two apps at the same time and effortlessly move between apps by way of a highly-customizable dock that you can summon at any time with Activator.
iPhone owners can use the included Low Power Mode to save battery life on their iPhone in a pinch, and while it can be useful, I don’t particularly care for how it forces a 30-second auto-lock down your throat.
Apple doesn’t give you a way to increase the auto-lock timeout on a stock device with Low Power Mode enabled, but jailbreakers can take advantage of a free jailbreak tweak called NoLowPowerAutoLock by iOS developer SparkDev to command differently.
When your iPhone’s battery level dips below 20%, a persistent pop-up alert appears front and center on your display to let you know. Most people cringe at these kinds of notifications because they get in the way of everything, but a free jailbreak tweak called LowBatteryBanner by iOS developer SparkDev can help.
As you might have inferred from the name already, LowBatteryBanner replaces the standard low battery level pop-up alert with something we can all appreciate: a banner notification.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to modernize your iPhone or iPad’s Settings app, then you should take a moment out of your day to try a free jailbreak tweak called CircleSettings by iOS developer SparkDev.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, CircleSettings applies a circular filter over the icons displayed on the left side of the primary page in the Settings app without the need for a theming app like WinterBoard; the result is that they look circular rather than square.
Despite Apple’s attempts to step up its iOS wallpaper experience in recent years, with dynamic wallpapers, Live Photos, and motion, it still leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak called MotionPicture by iOS developer Dev4i can help with this.
As you may have already inferred from the tweak’s name, MotionPicture lets you have moving wallpapers on your handset's Home screen and Lock screen. Furthermore, MotionPicture works with various file types, giving you the flexibility you deserve for a personalized experience.
One of the most fundamental reasons for owning a jailbroken iPhone or iPad is having the ability to customize it outside of Apple’s stock parameters. If you’re one to enjoy theming or changing the default colors of iOS, then you might appreciate what a free jailbreak tweak called Laetus by iOS developer SparkDev can do for you.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, Laetus empowers users to colorize iOS’ native keyboard interface with custom colors. With it, you can change the color of the keyboard background and its key text independently of one another.
If you get up for class or work every morning, then you’re probably accustomed to setting the alarm on your iPhone to ensure you wake up early enough. iOS’ alarm interface is rather polished right out of the box, but there’s still room for improvement.
A free jailbreak tweak called SleepyTime by iOS developer SparkDev enhances iOS’ alarm interface by displaying the time remaining before one or more of your alarms fire off.
Battery life is one of those essential things that iPhone owners are always trying to improve. The Low Power Mode setting that comes baked into iOS can help with this, but it could still do with some improvements.
Given some of the shortcomings that Low Power Mode exhibits on the iPhone, iOS developer Soh released a new free jailbreak tweak called ifConnected that brings a handful of new toggling features to the platform.
