Depending on how you use Siri throughout your workflow, you might find a new free jailbreak tweak called AutoDismissSiri by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson to be an advantageous supplement to your jailbroken handset.
Just as the tweak’s name implies, AutoDismissSiri adds a timeout period to the Siri interface. That said, if Siri would idle on your device for a specific amount of time, then the interface closes automatically.
Upon refreshing your Cydia sources this week, you should take note of a new free jailbreak tweak called NavAway by iOS developer Wh0ba.
Just as the tweak’s name suggests, NavAway makes your iPhone’s navigation bar magically disappear as you scroll down in specific scrollable applications. When you begin scrolling back up in the app, NavAway intelligently reveals the navigation bar again for your convenience.
Folders are incredibly useful for managing cluttered Home screens, but their core design hasn’t changed much in some of the most recent iterations of iOS.
If you’re looking for a completely redesigned folder experience in iOS 11, then we encourage you to check out a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed CoolFolder by iOS developer 4nni3.
Unlimited data plans are everywhere these days, but a significant percentage of the population still uses capped plans. Anyone in the latter category likely pays closer attention to their monthly data usage than unlimited users do. But in any case, iOS’ native cellular data monitoring system leaves a lot to be desired.
Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called ShowGoneCellularData by iOS developer Kevin Muller can help. This tweak compels iOS to display detailed cellular data usage stats for apps you’ve previously removed.
If you appreciated the first Apace jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson, then you’ll likely have a sweet spot for its iOS 11-compatible successor: Apace 2 (iOS 11).
Apace 2 augments your iOS handset’s Now Playing interface with features relevant to the app you use to listen to your favorite tunes. Whether you’re partial to Spotify, Deezer, or the native Music app, you could potentially benefit from what Apace 2 brings to the table.
A handful of jailbreak tweaks have been released in recent memory that colorize the Now Playing interface in iOS 11, but one of the newest is ColorFlow 4 (iOS 11) by iOS developer David Goldman.
With ColorFlow 4 installed, the Now Playing interface adopts new color schemes that match the dominant colors of your album artwork. The animated GIF above depicts a few examples of how the tweak works on both the Lock screen and the native Music app.
If you’ve gone through the trouble of jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad and are perusing for a fun and quirky way to customize it, then look no further than a new free jailbreak tweak called YouRespring by iOS developer Dev4i.
YouRespring lets you give your handset’s respring screen a fresh coat of paint. It replaces the traditional black screen with the central white spinner you see above with any animated GIF that you might fancy having as your respring screen.
The iPhone’s native Notes app has received a multitude of changes in some of the most recent iterations of iOS, but one thing Apple always falls short of adding is a character counter.
Most of the text editors and word processors available today incorporate some form of fundamental support for character or word counting, and so it’d be nice if the Notes app fell into that category. Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called countingNotes by iOS developer CydiaGeek can make it happen.
Random events happen throughout the day, sometimes prompting you to jot things down in your Notes app, so you don’t forget them. But wouldn’t it be great if you type notes to yourself without having to unlock your handset?
Notepad is a new jailbreak tweak by iOS developers NeinZedd9 and Ayden Panhuyzen that makes this possible. The tweak adds an easily-accessible note-taking interface directly to the Lock screen so you can begin typing notes whenever you need to.
A couple of years ago, we showed you a jailbreak tweak called Evanesco by iOS developer CP Digital Darkroom that dimmed your Home screen icons after prolonged inactivity and brought your wallpaper into focus.
To those who missed this tweak, we have good news: EvanescoXI is now available in Cydia and in reincarnates many of the best features from the original tweak for jailbroken iOS 11 devices.
While there’s nothing wrong with the stock Lock screen music controls, that’s not to say that they couldn’t do with some improvement. HeliusXI is a jailbreak tweak by iOS developer s1ris that redesigns these controls with a different look and feel on pwned iOS 11 handsets.
If the concept shown above seems familiar, then that’s because it is. HeliusXI is the newest iteration of the tweak for Apple’s latest mobile operating system, while Helius and Helius 2 previously served jailbreakers using earlier versions of iOS.
If you own an iPhone or iPad, then incoming notifications likely play an instrumental role in your daily workflow. That said, streamlining the incoming notification experience should be considered a crucial step after jailbreaking your iOS 11-equipped handset with Electra.
Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak dubbed NotificationsUnleashedXI by iOS developer Rishanan can help with this. The tweak provides users with a multitude of settings that can be employed to augment iOS' stock notification experience.
