Jailbreak news of the week: Griddy, CalculatorHistory, CC18, PopOutButtons, & more...

If you’re into jailbreaking iPhones and iPads, then you’ve got a second home here at iDownloadBlog. We not only cover news and jailbreak tweaks all week long relating to this fun hobby and pastime, but we also come at you every Sunday morning with a roundup post just like this one that helps our readers get caught up with everything they may have missed.

In this week’s roundup, we’ll be going over the latest developments in the community spanning the week of Monday, October 21^st to Sunday, October 27^th. We’ll begin with some of the more important highlights, followed by an outline of jailbreak tweak updates and other important posts that could help you along your journey.

Let’s jump right in.

Important stuff from this week

Best Sound & Volume jailbreak tweaks

The iDB team has cherry-picked a list of some of the best jailbreak tweaks for changing your device’s sound and volume behavior on jailbroken iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16 devices.

You can learn more about those add-ons in our full roundup post.

AltStore PAL updates

The AltStore PAL alternative App Store for those residing in the European Union received important updates this past week that offer new features and improvements for not only regular users, but also for those who’ve been supporting the project since the beginning.

You can learn about the latest AltStore PAL updates below:

AltStore PAL version 2.1.3

Griddy

The long-awaited Home Screen custom grid layout jailbreak tweak, Griddy, is now officially available after first being teased early in September.

This jailbreak tweak allows users on iOS 15 and 16 to place Home Screen app icons in places that aren’t ordinarily allowed by Apple out the box pre-iOS 18.

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

PopOutButtons

There’s a new animation on iOS 18 devices when you press the volume up, volume down, or sleep/wake button.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have the same animation on your jailbroken device with older firmware? Well, now you can, with a jailbreak tweak called PopOutButtons.

You can learn all about PopOutButtons and the animation we’re talking about in our full review post.

CalculatorHistory

The CalculatorHistory jailbreak tweak brings an iOS 18-like running history to the Calculator app on jailbroken iOS 14-17 devices.

By tapping on a history button, you can see timestamped previously-entered mathematical operations and repeat them with ease.

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

Gonerino

The new Gonerino jailbreak tweak allows YouTube app users with jailbroken devices to exclude unwanted YouTube channels from their search query results.

It’s the perfect solution to removing click-baiters and monetized channels that often drown out the golden nugget you’re looking for.

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

CC18

CC18 is a new jailbreak tweak that brings the round Control Center module aesthetics from iOS & iPadOS 18 to jailbroken firmware versions that are older.

Apart from this aesthetic change, Control Center’s functionality on older firmware mostly remains the same, so it’s an aesthetic-only jailbreak tweak.

You can learn more about CC18 in our full review post.

RateBeGone

You can prevent apps from asking you to rate them in the App Store with the new RateBeGone jailbreak tweak.

While there’s already a native setting to disable apps from asking this, some app developers circumvent this setting.

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

YTAutoFullScreen

The YTAutoFullScreen jailbreak tweak by iOS developer PoomSmart forces YouTube video playback into full-screen mode.

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