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.
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.
Shortcuts are always advantageous, especially on the smartphones we use every day. That’s why iOS developer neoish crafted a jailbreak tweak known as Jumper.
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.
If you’re looking to get more out of the battery indicator on your jailbroken iPhone X, then we’d recommend checking out a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Bazzi by iOS developer NeinZedd9.
Unlike the traditional battery level indicator in the iPhone X’s notched Status Bar, Bazzi aims to provide users with more information at a glance by displaying the battery level percentage within the battery level indicator itself. This ultimately lets you avoid having to open Control Center to see the numeric percentage.
The way iOS displays your current battery level has been approximately the same since the first iteration of the mobile operating system; albeit with a few minor changes present in some of the most significant updates over the years.
For anyone interested in a fresh take on iOS’ battery level indicator, a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed BatteryBar by iOS developer DGh0st may grab some attention.
While many iPhone X users have embraced the handset’s distinct notch, there are still tons of people who just can’t seem to get over it.
If you’re one of the latter and your iPhone X is jailbroken, then a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed noNotch by iOS developer Jake James might be worth checking out.
Control Center’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles don’t entirely disable their corresponding wireless radios on iOS 11, but instead limit their capabilities such that system processes like AirDrop and Instant Hotspot, among others, continue working.
If you wish that iOS 11’s Control Center-based Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles worked as you’d expect them to, then you might be interested in a new free jailbreak tweak called RealCC by iOS developer Jake James.
AVLock is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer gilshahar7 that attempts to make watching videos more tolerable on the iOS platform.
After installation, you’ll gain access to a new Rotation Lock toggle in the stock iOS 11 video player interface, precisely like the one shown in the screenshot example above.
One of the most significant changes to ship with iOS 11 was the redesigned modular Control Center interface. But despite everything Apple did to make Control Center more customizable, it still lacks color-based personalization.
A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed ColorMyCCModules by iOS developer iKilledAppl3 fills this void by providing users with a way to colorize Control Center’s various modules.
Since the public release of the Electra jailbreak for iOS 11, we’ve seen a bevy of jailbreak tweaks explicitly designed for the iPhone X. Some of the most recent ones focus on the handset’s Home Bar – the bar at the bottom of the screen that you use to close apps, multitask, etc.
A new free release dubbed HomeBarSizer by iOS developer Kiran Patil is no different. As the name suggests, it will let you customize both the size and appearance of your iPhone X’s Home Bar so you can achieve the look and feel you desire.
The iPhone X lacks a Home Button, so Apple created the Home Bar to take its place. Swiping up on the Home Bar lets users unlock their device, return home from apps, and access the App Switcher, but the Home Bar itself isn’t very aesthetically-pleasing in the long run.
Given the circumstances, a new free jailbreak tweak called ByeHomeBottomBarX by iOS developer CydiaGeek has been released in Cydia this week. As the name suggests, this tweak efficiently hides the Home Bar from view.
