BounceReachability, HapticTwitter, Stylish, and other jailbreak tweaks to check out this weekend

It seems like jailbreak tweak releases are picking up slightly compared to the last few weeks, which is great news for jailbreakers who like to get their hands on new and innovative ways to modify their devices.

In this roundup, we'll discuss all the new jailbreak tweaks that made it into Cydia this week. As always, we'll start by showcasing our favorites, and we'll outline the rest of them afterward.

NoSpotiScreenShot disables the bothersome screenshot-sharing banner in the Spotify app

Aside from Apple Music, Spotify is one of the most popular ways to stream music on an iPhone or iPad. In fact, Spotify is my preferred way to listen to music altogether. Still, I acknowledge that the app's obtrusive banner for sharing any screenshots you take tends to get bothersome.

Enter NoSpotiScreenShot, a new free jailbreak tweak produced by iOS developer xxthepersonx that keeps the banner you see above from appearing after snapping a screenshot of Spotify Now Playing interface.

Stylish offers a plethora of color customization options and more to iOS

Looking for an efficient way to customize the look and feel of your jailbroken iPhone or iPad without breaking the bank? If so, then you might be excited about a new free jailbreak tweak called Stylish by iOS developer i0s_tweak3r.

With this tweak, you’ll get an opportunity to transform user interface elements across iOS, as shown in the screenshot illustrations above.

HapticTwitter brings haptic feedback to iOS’ official Twitter app

I give credit where credit is due, and I'd have to say Twitter’s official app is a solid way to use Twitter on the iOS platform. Nonetheless, there are still a few ways it could be enhanced, and jailbreak developers are continuously exploring ways to do just that.

With a new free jailbreak tweak entitled HapticTwitter by iOS developer Squ1dd13, you can introduce a bevy of new haptic feedback triggers to the official Twitter app.

This tweak adds more bounce to your iPhone’s Reachability interface

Reachability is a convenient way to make one-handed usage easier on Apple’s larger handsets; regrettably, the interface lacks any exciting characteristics.

A new free jailbreak tweak called BounceReachability by iOS developer CydiaGeek aims to help with that problem. It applies an impressive new bounce effect to the Reachability interface any time it’s invoked, supplying you with something that’s both fun and quirky to look at.
