Jailbreak news of the week: Dopamine updates, RootHide updates, Delta for iPad, & more…

While the iDB team works around the clock throughout the work week to give our readers the latest iPhone jailbreaking and hacking news as it happens, we also know that you can’t plaster your eyeballs to the internet at all times.

Fortunately, we come at you every Sunday with a roundup just like this one that helps summarize everything that’s been happening lately so that you can have a brief rundown of what you might’ve missed during the week.

In this piece, we’ll talk about news and information shared between Monday, April 29th and Sunday, May 5th.

Important stuff from this week

Dopamine updates

The Dopamine jailbreak tool received important updates this past week to not only improve support for more devices, but to enhance the jailbreak’s features.

You can learn all about the latest Dopamine updates below:

RootHide updates

The RootHide jailbreak detection bypass for the original Dopamine jailbreak tool for arm64e devices running iOS 15.0-15.4.1 picked up some important updates this past week.

You can learn more about what’s new below:

RootHide v1.0.9 released

Delta emulator for iPad coming soon

The Delta emulator app that everyone has been ranting and raving about is finally coming to the iPad.

Currently, it’s an iPhone-only app that can run in iPad compatibility mode, but once the iPad version of the app launches, it’ll be an iPad-native experience.

SmartVPN

SmartVPN is a must-have jailbreak tweak that lets you control your VPN connections on a per-app basis with a special white list setting that lets you choose which apps the VPN should auto-connect for.

This tweak also includes a handy Control Center toggle button for your VPN connection.

You can learn more about SmartVPN and where you can get it from in our full review post.

SnoozeLabels

Make it easier to discern which of your snoozed alarms are which with the new SnoozeLabels jailbreak tweak.

This tweak simply replaces the ordinary “Snoozed Alarm” title on the countdown module with the name of the actual alarm so that you can tell them apart.

You can learn more about SnoozeLabels in our full review post.

Glance

Glance is a newly released jailbreak tweak that brings the functionality of the once popular ShortLook jailbreak tweak to the likes of modern rootful and rootless jailbreaks running on iOS & iPadOS 15 and later.

With it, notifications are not only more OLED display friendly, but they’re easier to see at a distance, such as when your phone is mounted to a MagSafe charger.

You can learn more about Glance and how it works in our full review post.

Velar theme

Velar is a beautiful new theme for iPhones that works with jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices whether they’re using dark mode or light mode.

With 800 app icons, different types of notification badges, folder masks, and Settings app icons, this is a complete theme.
