If you’re jailbreaking an iOS 16 device with the Dopamine v2 jailbreak, and one of the first things on your agenda is to remove the Home Screen’s pill-shaped Search button that typically appears where the Home Screen’s page dots normally appear, then there’s a new jailbreak tweak for that.

Resentment is a near carbon-copy of the iOS 16 Lock Screen Now Playing UI for jailbroken iOS 14-15 devices
At the end of last year, iOS developer uz.ra released a jailbreak tweak called HALO to bring an iOS 16-like Lock Screen Now Playing interface to jailbroken iOS 15 devices. But building off of this concept, uz.ra this week launched a new jailbreak tweak called Resentment.
Helium gets major update with tons of new features and improvements

VisibleIsland and mineland jailbreak tweaks move the Dynamic Island below the notch on unsupported devices
If you’ve ever used something such as DynamicCowTS to enable the Dynamic Island user experience on unsupported older notched iPhones, then you may have noticed how it doesn’t exactly align well with the notch despite working correctly. Specifically, it overlaps the notch halfway, blocking some of it from view.

VÄ“ is another advanced notification logging jailbreak tweak for iPhones, but this one is free
Over the weekend, we showed you a remarkable jailbreak tweak called Senri that logged and archived all of your handset’s incoming notifications so that you could browse through them at a future date.
Senri archives every notification you open on your iPhone so you can search for it again later
One of the things I’ve always sort of disliked about the iOS & iPadOS notification experience is that once you open a notification, it disappears for good. It runs contrary to how it feels to archive an email you’ve already read and then still be able to search for that email thread again in the future. In some ways, I wish I could do the same with my smartphone notifications.
