You’ve just stumbled upon iDB’s weekly roundup of iPhone jailbreaking and hacking news, where we hand-pick our favorite news, reviews, and tutorials related to these sectors from the past work week and pack it all into one convenient place to help ensure you don’t miss a beat.
Apple has done amazing things to bring the iPhone’s native apps inline with the latest design trends, but the Phone app is starting to show its age. In fact, it hasn’t received any aesthetic facelifts in quite a while, which is why the jailbreak community often tries to make its own improvements.
We live in a Dark Mode-obsessed world today, and despite how many people are using Dark Mode on their mobile devices and even their computers, there are still so many websites that don’t support it.
A few years back, we showed you a jailbreak tweak called FingerLock by iOS developer MTAC. This tweak lets the user add a touch-based unlocking mechanism to the Lock Screen to bypasses the Home Button or Home Bar.
Once upon a time, iOS developer Lars Fröder, or more colloquially known by the jailbreak community as @opa334 on Twitter, released a revolutionary app called TrollStore.
The Dynamic Island is one of the most distinguishable differences between the iPhone 14 Pro lineup and all prior handset models. This handy feature utilizes the area surrounding the TrueDepth camera system to display useful information about what’s happening on your device, such as Now Playing media, Personal Hotspot connectivity, and active Screen Recordings, among other things.
iPhone hackers and developers have been rather busy lately, not only with respect to improving jailbreaks and releasing tweaks, but also with expanding support for customizations by way of the MacDirtyCow bug.
TrollStore is one of the best ways to install powerful apps on your iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1 (and some 15.5 betas). Not only that, but those apps will also remain permanently signed because of the CoreTrust bug that it exploits, so you won’t have to re-sign those apps like you would after using something like AltStore or Sideloadly.
Some apps are purposely limited in terms of CarPlay availability, generally for the sake of safe driving. This includes video playback apps such as Netflix or YouTube.
After releasing Evyrest last week, a tool for TrollStore for automatically changing a user’s wallpaper, iOS developer sourcelocation released yet another TrollStore project called IconExporter.
