If you’re any bit familiar with the Google Nexus 7.0 Nougat app drawer, then it might’ve crossed your mind once or twice about what it might like to have a similar experience on the iOS platform.
If you’re keen about the idea thus far, then you’ll definitely want to try a refreshed jailbreak tweak dubbed Vinculum by iOS developer William Vabrinskas. As you’ll see in the screenshot examples above, this tweak brings app drawer-like functionality to your pwned iPhone or iPad.
While it’s not uncommon for the Sileo Team to release an updated Sileo package manager every now and again, the team deviated from their traditional release cycle on Friday by launching a ‘Sileo Beta’ that can be deployed alongside the stable Sileo installation.
The Sileo Team announced the news early this morning via Twitter, noting that Sileo v1.2.9 beta 1 would be available from the default Chimera/Electra repositories on their respective jailbreaks:
If you’re anything like me, then you probably use certain things in the Settings app more than others. Unfortunately, iOS doesn’t make it any easier to get to those things, regardless of how often you use them.
Here to change that about iOS’ Settings app is a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called StickAround by iOS developer Squ1dd13. With this tweak, you can pin your favorite preference panes to the top of the Settings app, making it significantly easier to get to the things that matter to you the most.
If you’re interested in changing the default background of the Siri interface to something new, then you just might want to check out a newly-released and free-to-download jailbreak tweak dubbed CustomSiriBG by iOS developer TylerD3V.
In the screenshot example above, you’ll notice that the default Siri background has been changed to something more Pokémon-centric, and of course, you can always use something different if Pokémon isn’t your thing.
At the bottom of any stock iPhone or iPad’s Home screen are a set of page dots that help you discern what page you’re on at any given time. As useful as this might be, it hasn’t changed much over the years.
If you’re looking for a fresh take on iOS’ Home screen page dots, then you might come to appreciate a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called AwesomePageDots by iOS developer shiftcmdk, as it reinvigorates your Home screen’s page dots with a much more appealing animation.
Most of your iPhone or iPad’s configurable options can be found in the native Settings app, but sometimes this app can feel like a maze with a substantial amount of clutter that hinders the process of getting to what you’re looking for.
Those interested in de-cluttering the Settings app will likely come to appreciate a free jailbreak tweak called SettingsCollapse by iOS developer shiftcmdk, as it lets you collapse sections of the Settings app into compact blocks that are significantly easier to scroll through.
Ever since getting my 2018 iPad Pro, and an Apple Pencil 2 to go along with it, I’ve become mainly accustomed to seeing the Apple Pencil 2’s charging status when it magnetically snaps to the side of my tablet. On the other hand, this beautiful charging interface often left me wondering: why hasn’t Apple implemented a similar charging interface for other devices?
Enter PencilChargingIndicator, a free jailbreak tweak created by iOS developer shiftcmdk that brings the Apple Pencil 2-esque charging interface to other devices. Once installed, it makes the interface appear whenever the host device gets connected to a power source, as shown above.
Notifications can be useful, but some apps tend to be a little bit noisier than others. iOS’ native Do Not Disturb mode sometimes comes in handy in this instance, but it mutes all your apps at the same time, and this isn’t always ideal. For that reason, iOS developer Skitty has come out with a new free jailbreak tweak release called QuietDown.
QuietDown allows users to mute specific apps for certain periods, and it does so in such a user-friendly manner. With a simple swipe up on an application icon or a 3D Touch gesture on that same icon, you can bring up the muting interface shown above.
The Lock screen is the first thing you see every time you pick up your iPhone to use it. With that in mind, it’s not hard to see why some jailbreakers are quick to customize the appearance of it.
If you’re a minimalist and you appreciate the small things in life, then you might take a liking to a newly-released jailbreak tweak called CustomLock by iOS developer TylerD3V, as it provides users with two great ways to change the Lock screen’s aesthetics: text alignment and third-party fonts.
If you’re as excited about all the latest jailbreak tool updates as we are, then you’re probably looking for new add-ons and extensions that can boost the usability and augment the aesthetics of your pwned handset.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released from Monday, July 22nd to Sunday, July 28th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases and then wrap everything up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Two more consecutive updates were released for Sileo Saturday afternoon, officially bringing the Chimera and Electra-centric package manager up to version 1.2.5. The same update is also available as a Demo for non-jailbroken handsets.
The Sileo Team announced Sileo versions 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 via Twitter just hours ago, with each update further addressing repository issues that were introduced in a previous update:
Just yesterday, the Sileo Team released v1.2.0 of the Sileo Demo for testing on non-jailbroken devices, promising that a jailbreak-centric update to Sileo would soon follow. Now, it appears that update is finally out, and better than before.
The Sileo Team released two consecutive updates for the Sileo package manager Saturday morning, including version 1.2.2 and 1.2.3. The updates were announced via the Sileo Team’s Twitter page:
