As you scroll through the Home screen’s many pages on a stock device, the scrolling will automatically stop once you arrive on the next page, an effect known to many as ‘paging.’
If you don’t like this paging effect and would prefer that your Home screen scrolling experience felt ‘infinite’ as it does when navigating down a long web page, then you’ll probably come to appreciate a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Smoothie by iOS developer Nepeta.
The Sileo Team introduced an updated version of the Sileo package manager Saturday morning, officially bringing both the Sileo Demo and the jailbreak-centric version of the app up to version 1.4.1.
The announcement was shared mere hours ago via the Sileo Team’s official Twitter page:
As you scroll through the multitude of pages that make up your iPhone’s Home screen, one thing that’s always visible is the application Dock. That said, the Dock is a wonderful place to store your most frequently used apps, as it makes them quick and easy to access in a pinch.
But for those who demand more than just four application spaces in their application Dock, a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Docky by iOS developer Nepeta shows a lot of promise.
If you’re ready to upgrade Control Center’s display brightness module, then we’d recommend turning your attention to a newly released jailbreak tweak called CCBrightnessExtended by iOS developer Paparajote Team.
In the screenshot examples above, you can see that CCBrightnessExtended augments Control Center’s display brightness module by integrating a toggle that can be used to turn automatic display brightness on or off on demand.
If you frequently use the Instagram app on your free time and you have a jailbroken handset at your disposal, then you might want to turn your attention to a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Rhino by iOS developer Michael Lema.
Rhino is a powerful extension for the official Instagram app that lets users download images, videos, and even live videos from anything that appears in the News Feed. As you’ll notice in the screenshot examples above, the tweak adds a new Download button just to the left of the native Bookmark button.
Every so often, I happen upon new jailbreak tweak releases that incorporate ‘no-brainer’ functionality into iOS, and this prompts me to wonder why the software design team at Apple hasn’t implemented similar features into their platform out of the box.
Storage3D by iOS developer Wh0ba is one such release, and as you can discern for yourself in the screenshot example above, this tweak lets you view your handset’s remaining storage space in the 3D Touch menu that appears when you use a 3D or Haptic Touch gesture on the Settings app icon via the Home screen.
The Sileo Team released an updated version of the Sileo package manager late Tuesday evening with a plethora of improvements, officially bringing the Chimera and Electra jailbreak-centric package manager to version 1.4.0 in the process.
The Sileo Team announced the update via the official @GetSileo Twitter page, and from what we can gather, this is a particularly ‘big’ update for users and repositories alike:
If you ever enter phone numbers manually into the iPhone’s native Phone app when placing calls, then you might find that the green call button at the bottom of the app is more challenging to reach one-handed than it needs to be.
iOS developer iCraze identified the setback with this and has released a new jailbreak tweak dubbed LongerCallButton to address it.
While there are slight variances in the Dock's background appearance between iPhone models, such as the iPad-style rounded corners on the iPhone X, XR, XS, and XS Max when compared to the rectangular appearance on every other handset, the fact remains that all iOS devices have a Dock background of some sort.
If you’re in the market to do away with the Dock’s transparent background to maximize your Home screen wallpaper’s visibility, then we think you’ll take a liking to a newly released jailbreak tweak called ClearDock12 by iOS developer NoisyFlake.
It’s a great time to be an active participant in the jailbreak community – not only because you can jailbreak iOS 12.4, Apple’s latest non-beta public mobile operating system, but also because A12(X) support with Cydia is just around the corner.
That said, if you’re jailbroken and you’re looking for ways to trick out your handset, then you’ll definitely want to check out this roundup. Below, we’ll discuss our favorite jailbreak tweak releases this weak and then outline the rest afterward.
It was only a few days ago that the Sileo Team first made Sileo Beta v1.3.6 available to the general public for testing purposes, but as you might come to expect, that was only the start of things.
A newer Sileo beta, launched Saturday evening as v1.3.6 beta 7, was announced just a few minutes ago via the official Sileo Team Twitter account:
Apart from a few refreshed application icons and a nice new wallpaper here and there, Apple hasn’t done much to improve the Home screen experience since the original iPhone. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to anyone that it’s a point of interest when it comes to customization on jailbroken handsets.
One such example is a brand-new jailbreak tweak release dubbed Carabiner by iOS developer LaughingQuoll. As shown in the screenshot example above, Carabiner crams several interfaces into the Home screen, providing a gorgeous all-in-one experience that provides more information at a glance.
