RoundedSwitchr is a new free jailbreak tweak that lets you add rounded corners to the multitasking cards in your iPhone or iPad's App Switcher.
The tweak adds a preferences pane to the Settings app where you can control the corner roundness radius. The default is 10.0, but our screenshot above is pretty close to the 30.0 mark. You can set this radius amount as low as 0.0 or as high as 100.0.
Getting to your recently-used and favorite applications quickly is an invaluable ability that can make using your device easier.
Snakebite was a great jailbreak tweak that allowed you to do just that on jailbroken iOS devices, and now Snakebite 2 for iOS 9 is available in Cydia.
You probably use the App Switcher a lot throughout your day-to-day iPhone usage. It's an essential part of multitasking because it lets you easily get back to the apps you've used recently.
On the other hand, it also takes a screenshot of your last activity in the apps you closed recently, so it's a privacy hazard because anyone can peek over your shoulder to see what you've done recently when you're switching between recently-used apps.
ASBlur is a new free jailbreak tweak that helps solve this problem by blurring the contents of your App Switcher app previews.
In terms of utilitarian thinking, the current App Switcher and Control Center interfaces in iOS 9 do their jobs just fine.
It's those with creative minds that continue to look past the individual interfaces and find new ways to combine them together into all-in-one interfaces that continue to power App Switcher replacement jailbreak tweaks in Cydia.
Yet another new Cydia release to do such a thing is a jailbreak tweak called Phenomenon, which we'll be showing you in this review.
Although there are plenty of similarities between the App Switcher in iOS 7 and iOS 8, Apple launched a redesigned App Switcher in iOS 9 focused on improved aesthetics.
The iOS 9 App Switcher isn't always very responsive to upward swipes and sometimes swipes side-to-side instead. Moreover, it can be slower and laggy on older iOS devices that aren't built for the added demands on the system's resources.
If you're missing the fluidity and responsiveness of the iOS 7 App Switcher, and you have a jailbroken device, you're going to love a new jailbreak tweak dubbed AppSwitcher7, which is available for free in Cydia as of today.
In iOS, the Control Center and App Switcher interfaces are separate from one another and this means to get to one or another, you have to use a different gesture. It seems like some improvements could be made by merging the two interfaces into one, as we've seen with the popularity of previous jailbreak tweak releases such as Auxo 2 & 3.
A new jailbreak tweak called Zentrum is now available in Cydia's BigBoss repository for $1.99 and it introduces users to an all-new omni-interface for multitasking, viewing music controls, and accessing system toggles & shortcuts, but it even bakes into the mix a quick app launcher, which you can configure to your liking.
For anyone that isn't much of a fan of the App Switcher Apple introduced in iOS 7 and later, a new free jailbreak tweak in Cydia's BigBoss repository called VintageSwitcher is taking things all the way back to iOS 6 with a simplified look and feel and a familiar user interface.
Among one of the funnest things to modify when you have a jailbroken iOS device is the App Switcher – the jailbreak community has thought up and created a wide variety of App Switcher replacements that have been released in the Cydia Store, some better than others.
One of the more recent that you shouldn't deprive yourself of checking out is Griddy, a new jailbreak tweak from Cydia's BigBoss repository that gives your App Switcher a much more grid-like experience.
Snakebite is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that works with the iPhone 6s' 3D Touch multitasking gesture. The tweak replaces the App Switcher with a new interface for quickly accessing recently used apps or favorite apps. From the Snakebite interface, it's possible to quickly access the App Switcher via the Multitasking shortcut button.
Even if you don't own a 3D Touch capable device, you can utilize Snakebite by means of a handy tap and drag gesture. Watch our full video walkthrough to see what I mean.
One of the pet peeves that I have with my iPhone and other iOS devices is sometimes when trying to launch the App Switcher, I end up on the Home screen, or I end up toggling my accessibility shortcut instead by accident. As much as I swear I just pressed my Home button twice, the device thinks I pressed it once, or three times.
Granted this doesn't happen to me all the time, but it happens enough for me to notice it. It'll happen occasionally because the device's Home button sensor can become overloaded with input in a short period of time and fail to recognize presses either because of device lag or a worn-out sensor. Or, perhaps the opposite happened – you're too slow and the device expects you to press the button quicker and so it only registers a single press when you meant to press twice.
In this tutorial, we'll show how to adjust the click speed of the Home button and put a stop to this happening once and for all.
Mockingbird ($1.99 on Cydia) is a new jailbreak tweak that brings a completely redesigned App Switcher experience to jailbroken iPhones running iOS 9. The tweak merges App Switcher cards and Notification Center notifications for a unique app switching experience that's truly original.
Unfortunately, originality will only score you so many points. Mockingbird, while presenting some good ideas, is the textbook example of a tweak that was released long before being ready for prime time.
Auxo 3 has been released for iOS 9 as a brand new package. The popular multitasking tweak has been rewritten for iOS 9, and as such, A3tweaks has pushed it as a separate package and not a direct upgrade from the previous version of Auxo 3.
The good news is that upgrade pricing applies, so if you purchased previous versions of Auxo, you get a discount. Previous Auxo 3 users get Auxo 3 for iOS 9 for only $0.99. If you purchased Auxo 2 in the past, then Auxo 3 for iOS 9 is $1.99 instead of $2.99.
