While I enjoy using Twitter, I’ve come to frown upon the bevy of promoted Tweets that litter the News Feed viewing experience. Fortunately, you can now get around this if you have a jailbroken device.
Upon launching the Cydia Store and refreshing your sources, you should notice a new free jailbreak tweak called NoTwitterAds by iOS developer Chloee. This tweak does away with all promoted Tweets in your News Feed, much like the one shown above.
Due to the high volume of dark mode-centric jailbreak tweaks that are launched in the Cydia Store, we seldom cover them here at iDB. But because I use the Google Maps app so much on my daily driver during my commute, a new release dubbed Dark Gmaps by iOS developer FoxfortMobile seemed like a no-brainer.
If you were expecting a barebones tweak that merely colorizes the Google Maps app to look more appealing at night, then we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by Dark GMaps. After installation, the tweak adds a preference pane to the Settings app where you can experiment with a plethora of creeper comfort features:

The ever-so-popular Mobile Terminal (MTerminal) app for jailbroken devices was updated on Tuesday with official support for iOS 11, a move that’s certain to excite jailbreak power users. The latest version of the app is now 1.4-6.
MTerminal is fundamentally an on-device command-line interface (CLI) that lets jailbreakers run powerful commands, and if you’re a veteran jailbreaker, then the interface shown above should look nostalgically familiar.
Premium Apple accessory maker Twelve South yesterday launched a brand new family of luxury cases for Mac notebooks, including the latest MacBook Air, which build on the successful Journal for iPhone series.

The App Store is home to a plethora of third-party alternatives to the official Twitter app; they exist in response to some of the official app’s shortcomings. But if you have a jailbroken iOS device, then you can often tweak the official Twitter app to get precisely what you want out of it.
Enter Twitter Labs, a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Chloee that gives jailbreakers access to a multitude of settings and features that one could only dream of accessing on a stock device.
In a recent update to the official Twitter app, the social network now requires mobile users to tap a floating button at the bottom-right of the screen to compose a Tweet.
Unfortunately, Twitter doesn’t let users move the floating Tweet composition button out of its default location, but with a new free jailbreak tweak called MovableTweetButton by iOS developer Chloee, you can finally drag it out of your way.
In 2014, iOS developer Elias Limneos released a popular jailbreak tweak dubbed SmartTap that allowed users to perform touch-driven actions such as sleep, wake, unlock, and app-launching when the handset's touch screen was turned off.
Now, Limneos is breathing new life into SmartTap with the release of SmartTap X for jailbroken iOS 11 devices.
