LockWatch adds Apple Watch-inspired clocks to your iPhone’s Lock screen

As an avid Apple Watch user, I was excited to learn about a jailbreak tweak dubbed LockWatch by iOS developer Sniper_GER, which ports several of the Apple Watch’s watch faces to the Lock screen of jailbroken devices.

LockWatch continues to undergo development as of this writing, but it’s a fascinating to check the time on your iPhone precisely as you would when glancing at your wrist. Furthermore, the tweak supports both analog and digital watch faces, to provide options for those with personal preference.

BetterPowerMenu gives your iPhone’s power down menu a new look and feel

Anyone with a jailbroken iOS 10 device presumably avoids the power down menu because of their semi-untethered jailbreak. On the other hand, a new free jailbreak tweak called BetterPowerMenu iOS developer Huub Lubbers can change that.

The tweak makes two significant changes to the power down menu, such as adding a respring button and supplying customization options so that you have more control over how the interface looks and feels.

BigBoss to accept themes following archival of ModMyi and ZodTTD/MacCiti repos

Following the unfortunate archival of the ModMyi and ZodTTD/MacCiti Cydia repositories, the BigBoss repository will begin picking up much of the slack to become perhaps the last major default Cydia source for jailbreakers to download packages from.

Because both ModMyi and ZodTTD/MacCiti were two of the most popular theme-hosting repositories that came installed with Cydia by default, their closure put a notable dent in the community; primarily for theme creators and WinterBoard fanatics that had nowhere else to go.

This tweak brings translucency to more of your iOS apps

If you look at your Reminders app for a moment, you’ll notice a translucent region near the top of the app. Interestingly, Apple uses this aesthetic in very few of iOS’ stock apps, and this makes the effect feel a little bit out of place.

Here to fix that is a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Translucency Infinity by iOS developer EthanRDoesMC. This tweak ports a similar effect to as many of your apps as you want, letting you gain a little more consistency across the board.

Meet Maize, the best iOS 11 Control Center port for jailbroken devices to date

If you’re sticking to your jailbroken installation of iOS 10, then you already know you’re missing out on the new features that ship with iOS 11. On the other hand, an extensive list of jailbreak tweaks can port several of iOS 11’s most sought-after UIs to most jailbroken iOS 10 devices.

One of the most prominent changes to ship with iOS 11 is the modular Control Center interface, which can be tailored to fit your individual needs. While ControlCenterXI ported a significant amount of this interface to iOS 10 devices previously, an upcoming jailbreak tweak release dubbed Maize by the Creatix Dev Team takes everything to the next level.

Randomize your iPhone’s wallpaper image on demand with UnsplashWalls

The wallpaper is one of the first things you notice every time you use your device, whether you're glancing at the Lock screen to view the time, or accessing the Home screen to launch an app. With that in mind, shouldn’t your wallpaper captivate your interest?

It can be challenging to choose a single wallpaper to use all the time, but with a new free jailbreak tweak called UnsplashWalls by iOS developer ipad_kid, you won't have to. It can keep things exciting by randomizing your iPhone's wallpaper on demand.

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.

Simplify the Contacts app interface with TinyContactView

If you own an iPhone, then the native Contacts app is your go-to storage vault for all the contact information for friends and family. Out of the box, the app doesn’t look that bad. Nevertheless, tweak developers still come up with ways to tweak the interface ever so slightly.

One of the newest of such tweaks to hit the Cydia store is a new free jailbreak tweak called TinyContactView by iOS developer CydiaGeek. Once installed, parts of the native Contacts app UI vanish from sight.

Vision transforms your Home screen icons into moving 3D shapes

Looking for a unique way to spice up that jailbroken device of yours? Then look no further than a new jailbreak tweak called Vision by veteran iOS developer Elias Limneos.

Vision gives your Home screen icons a three-dimensional makeover and makes them responsive to movement. Best of all, the effects provided by the tweak are fully customizable.

Move and resize Snapchat filters at will with SCFilterMover

Most Snapchat users are accustomed to the Emoji and Filter features accessible in the app for supplementing your Snaps with further expression. On the other hand, Snapchat doesn’t provide users with as much freedom to move and transform filters as they do with Emojis.

A new free jailbreak tweak called SCFilterMover by iOS developer NeinZedd9 fixes that, giving you just as much filter plasticity as you already have with Emojis.
