Cowbell is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer LaughingQuoll that displays your device’s current battery level in the Low Power Mode toggle button located inside of Control Center in iOS 11.
Shown above, you can see how the text string indicating your current battery level percentage appears just below the glyph shown on the toggle button.
There's been a bevy of iOS 11-centric jailbreak tweaks launching in Cydia lately, and many of them augment the experience in ways that we could only dream of on a stock device.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released throughout the past week. As always, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first, and then we’ll outline the rest afterward.
Snapchat (or Snap Inc., really) last week launched Spectacles V2, the second generation of its quirky sunglasses with a built-in camera. There's a lot to like about the new model, including a slimmer frame and charging case, water-resistance, and the ability to take photos. Our resident video guru Harris recently snagged a pair and put together an unboxing video that offers a great overview of the product.
Much like other iOS handsets, the iPhone X comes equipped with Control Center for quick access to your favorite toggles, shortcuts, and features. But Apple made the gesture entirely different on its latest flagship by requiring you to pull down from the top right corner of the display.
If you don’t particularly enjoy this stock gesture on your iPhone X, then you may want to consider installing a new free jailbreak tweak called BottomControlX by iOS developer XCXiao.
It seems like we’ve been waiting a while to hear back from Saurik about his progress on official iOS 11 support for Cydia and Substrate, but meanwhile, many developers are producing tweaks that work on devices jailbroken with CoolStar’s Electra tool.

Folders can be convenient for keeping your iPhone or iPad’s Home screen methodical, but Apple could have put more thought into the folder-closing experience; more specifically, the gesture used to exit an open folder.
Fortunately, the jailbreak community now offers the perfect solution. A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed PinchToCloseFolders by iOS developer Maddox lets you close out of folders with a simple pinch gesture.
One of my most significant quarrels with iOS 11 is the app bar that appears at the bottom of the Messages app. I never use extensions while iMessaging friends and family, so it feels somewhat intrusive to me that Apple pushes the app bar down my throat in every conversation.
Anyone in agreeance may want to try a new free jailbreak tweak called NoMoreAppBar by iOS developer Reed Haffner. Just as the name implies, this tweak removes the app bar from the iOS 11 Messages app.
The stock volume HUD is one of the most recognized pain points among iOS users of all types. Fortunately, jailbreaking offers a way to customize how it looks so that you don’t have an enormous eyesore popping up in the center of your screen all the time.
Aerify by iOS developer LonestarX is one of the latest jailbreak tweaks to tackle the volume HUD problem in iOS, and it does so in a pleasant way; best of all, it won’t cost you any money.
It’s Sunday again, and that means it’s time to wrap up the weekend with another jailbreak tweak roundup.
In this piece, we’ll discuss all the jailbreak tweaks released throughout the week. As usual, we’ll kick things off by showcasing our favorite releases and then wrap everything up with an outline of everything else.
The Spotify Music app usually adopts a black and green color scheme, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle if you’d prefer to change things up. A new free jailbreak tweak called Colorify by iOS developer chloeeisoaky lets you change the app’s color scheme to your liking.
Shown above, you can gaze upon some examples of how the Spotify Music app looks after modifying its core colors. These include the background, the tabs at the bottom of the app, and even the text that describes the music you’re looking at.
With Electra being the most current jailbreak tool for Apple-branded handsets, we’re beginning to see more iOS 11-oriented jailbreak tweaks in Cydia as time goes by.
In this roundup, we’ll go over all the jailbreak tweaks that were released in Cydia from April 8th to April 15th. As always, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases in depth and then outline the rest afterward.
Apple’s newest iPad —the 6th-generation 9.7”— follows in the footsteps of last year’s $329 iPad offering. It is an almost full-featured device, lacking in one area: it has no smart connector. Consequently, Bluetooth is the only wireless option for connecting your new iPad to a keyboard. No fear, however, as iEGrow has two Bluetooth keyboard cases that offer a lot for a very reasonable price. We go hands-on in this mini review of the iEGrow F8S iPad keyboard case and the F180 iPad keyboard with rotatable cover.
