Springtomize 5 brings advanced Springboard customization to pwned iOS 13 handsets

Anthony Bouchard ∙ February 16, 2020

Those who’ve been with the jailbreak community for as long as I have should be vividly familiar with the name Springtomize. It’s perhaps one of the most notorious all-in-one jailbreak tweaks ever released, and it’s always receiving updates year after year with support for Apple’s latest and greatest operating system as new jailbreaks find their way into existence. This time around is no different.

iOS developer Janosch Hübner on Sunday released the fifth iteration of Springtomize with formal support for iOS 13. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Springtomize 5 incorporates a plethora of iOS 13-friendly settings that can be used to configure your SpringBoard your own way – as different from everyone else’s as you could ever imagine.

Those looking to change up the traditional aesthetics of their pwned iOS device will be excited to hear about the new release of a free jailbreak tweak called Spectrum by iOS developers Skitty and EvenDev.

Lynx merges the functions of several iOS 13 jailbreak tweaks into one

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 15, 2020

It almost seems like there’s been a distinguishable influx of all-in-one jailbreak tweaks lately, and each new release we cover seems to be outdone by something new just a few weeks later. The famous Springtomize tweak once enjoyed its title as the king of all-in-one jailbreak tweaks, but all the competition lately is giving it a serious run for its money.

All-in-one tweaks are popular because they offer a plethora of benefits for one flat cost as opposed to downloading (and perhaps even purchasing) several one-off tweaks to accomplish the same outcome. Fortunately, a new release dubbed Lynx by iOS developer MTAC offers a wide selection of useful options, and we’d strongly recommend checking it out.

Personalize your Home screen and Lock screen with Kage

Anthony Bouchard ∙ January 6, 2020

When it comes to installing jailbreak tweaks on a pwned handset, my motto has always been that it’s best to install an all-in-one tweak instead of a plethora of one-off add-ons. Not only can this be beneficial from a performance standpoint, but it also keeps your installed tweak list nice and tidy in any package manager that you might be using.

Depending on what your needs are as a jailbreaker, finding the best all-in-one tweak can be a challenge. While there have been some notable releases in the past, many cost money of some sort. Fortunately, a new release called Kage by iOS developer YaYPIXXO brings a slew of customization options to both the Home screen and Lock screen at no extra cost to you.

Artemis isn’t quite as thorough as some of the staple tweaks like Springtomize that we’ve all come to know and love, but the fact that it costs absolutely nothing and offers a substantial number of some attention-grabbing customization features is sure to help it stand out from the crowd, especially for those looking to enhance their iOS experience without breaking the bank.

Cosmos is an excellent all-in-one SpringBoard customization tweak

Anthony Bouchard ∙ September 7, 2019

One of the best ways to take advantage of your jailbroken iOS device is to download an all-in-one SpringBoard customization jailbreak tweak. These kinds of tweaks often combine the functionalities of several standalone tweaks into one, giving you the most bang for your buck.

Springtomize is perhaps one of the most well-accepted all-in-one SpringBoard customization tweaks ever made, but it’s not the be all and end all of iOS tweaking; many others, including the more recently released Cosmos tweak by iOS developer Sirius24, are worth taking a look at.

Springtomize is a name that veteran jailbreak enthusiasts should be firmly familiar with. Not only is Springtomize one of the most popular all-in-one tweaks ever conceived in the history of the community, but it’s still being maintained to this very day.
