If you’re trying to keep yourself updated on the latest tips, releases, and news in the iPhone and iPad jailbreak communities, then you’ve found your home here at iDB. We not only cover these things in real time, but we come at you every weekend with a roundup just like this one that brings everything together so you can feel assured that you haven’t missed anything important.
In this week’s roundup, we’ve got information spanning the timeframe of Monday, March 10th to Sunday, March 16th. So if you’re as ready as we are, let’s go ahead and get this show on the road.
Important stuff from this week
Dopamine updates
The Dopamine jailbreak received updates this past week, improving the user experience and stability of the tool.
You can learn more about the latest updates below:
Upcoming Nugget v5 bringing animated wallpapers to iOS
An upcoming update to the Nugget SparseRestore exploit-based device customization utility is expected to provide users with animated wallpapers and more.
You can learn more about the upcoming Nugget v5 in our full news post.
Robot Helper (Beta)
The new Robot Helper (Beta) jailbreak tweak helps users perform regular scheduled maintenance on their jailbroken iPhone or iPad.
With precise timing actions, or user-based triggers, this tweak can automatically perform resprings, userspace reboots, and more.
You can learn more about the importance of a tweak like this in our full review post.
LineBreakLiberator
The LineBreakLiberator jailbreak tweak is an add-on that fixes the Safari Quick Search result truncating problem, where longer Quick Search results appear cut off.
With it, you can see your search results in more context than you could previously, especially on smaller iPhones that can’t fit all the text.
You can learn more about LineBreakLiberator in our full review post.
LockTimeX
The LockTimeX add-on for Xen HTML allows jailbreakers on legacy iOS 9-12 devices to have the same Lock Screen aesthetics as somebody with a modern iOS 16 or later device.
You can learn all about LockTimeX, where you can get it from, and how it looks in our full review post.
BatteryInfo
BatteryInfo is a free app that you can install with TrollStore to get a deeper understanding of your iPhone or iPad’s internal battery with enhanced diagnostics.
You can learn more about BatteryInfo and what you can do with it in our full review post.
