Jailbreak news of the week: Fixing respring loops, Syde app library, Nugget updates, & more...

Every single week, the iDB team works tirelessly to bring its readers the iPhone & iPad jailbreak-oriented news they deserve. But we know people get busy throughout the week, which is why we make an easy-to-digest roundup every Sunday.

This weekend’s roundup encompasses the latest jailbreak tweak releases and iPhone hacking news spanning the week of Monday, December 9^th to Sunday, December 15^th, and of course we showcase the newest releases and important news first before outlining all the jailbreak tweak updates afterward.

Since we don’t want to keep you away from the meat and potatoes of this post any longer, we’ll just jump right into things below.

Important stuff from this week

Fixing respring loops

If you ever install a buggy jailbreak tweak, or simply one that conflicts with another already installed on your device, then you could find yourself in what’s known as a respring loop.

This infuriatingly scary situation is when your device resprings over and over again, leaving you with no user interface to use. So how do you fix it?

We walk you through the steps to remedy a respring loop on a jailbroken device in our handy dandy tutorial post.

Syde

Syde is a new app library platform where sideloaders can find the .ipa files to popular sideloadable apps all in one convenient place.

While the project remains young at this time, the developers have shared that they plan to expand Syde in their release notes.

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

Nugget updates

The Nugget SparseRestore-based device customization utility picked up a few updates this past week that are worth mentioning for both existing and prospective users alike.

You can learn about the latest updates to Nugget below:

Centra

With the new Centra jailbreak tweak, users are able to re-size individual Control Center modules and toggles to their liking.

Whether you appreciate custom Control Center layouts or you’re trying to make things easier to control, Centra offers a little bit of enhanced functionality for lots of different users.
