Cyanea is a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Sirius24 that incorporates a surfeit of fun new ways to customize your jailbroken handset’s system-wide aesthetics and behavior.
Cyanea is the highly-evolved successor of an older tweak called Chameleon that we showed you last year. It permits those users to personalize their device with custom color gradients, color palettes, animations, and more.
In a somewhat miraculous turn of events, it appears that popular jailbreak-centric utilities including the likes of Cydia Impactor and ReProvision have started working again for some users.
The news came first by way of ReProvision lead developer Matt Clarke, who confirmed with us via email that ReProvision was actually alive and well again starting Sunday evening. Tweets shared publicly reveal that the tool was updated over the weekend to bypass the ‘that’s all folks’ message that denoted the tool’s EOL (end of life) and also that the tool wouldn’t be updated anymore if it broke a second time:
The Sileo Team pushed an updated public beta version of the Sileo package manager for the Electra (iOS 11) and Chimera (iOS 12) jailbreaks Sunday evening, officially bringing the project up to version 1.7.0 beta 2.
The announcement, shared mere minutes ago via the Sileo Team’s official Twitter page, denotes several improvements in the latest beta release:
The unc0ver jailbreak supports a semi-untethered jailbreak on iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3 and a fully unethered jailbreak on arm64e devices (iPhone XS and later) running iOS 14.4-14.5.1, which means that the tool is now compatible with all versions of iOS & iPadOS ranging from 11.0-14.3 (and 14.4-14.5.1 with a big asterisk). To date, AltStore is the best and most reliable way to install the unc0ver jailbreak app on your iPhone or iPad.
As long as your iPhone or iPad is running running iOS or iPadOS 12.2 or later, then you can use AltStore to install the unc0ver jailbreak, and in this tutorial, we walk you through the steps necessary to make it happen so you can reap all the benefits.
It was only yesterday that Pwn20wnd released unc0ver v4.0.0 to the general public with official support for iOS 13.0-13.3 on A12(X)-A13 equipped devices. In doing so, unc0ver became the first public jailbreak to support A13 devices, and also the first public jailbreak to support iOS 13 on A12(X) devices. But that’s old news now.
On Sunday, Pwn20wnd released a small update for the unc0ver jailbreak, officially bringing it up to version 4.0.1. The hacker announced the latest update via Twitter earlier in the afternoon:
With all the exciting developments happening in the jailbreak community lately, from checkra1n receiving Linux support to the unc0ver jailbreak being on the cusp of implementing A12X-A13 support on iOS 13.3, it’s never been a better time to be a jailbreaker.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, February 10th to Sunday, February 16th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
If you’re anything like me, then you might use particular device settings in certain apps to get the most out of using said apps. For example, perhaps you use maximum brightness in YouTube and a lower brightness in Safari; alternatively you might use Rotation Lock in Safari, but not in YouTube.
Assuming the aforementioned behavior describes you in any capacity, you might want to turn your attention to a newly released jailbreak tweak called Appaze 2 by iOS developer AnthoPak. This tweak lets you configure system settings on a per-app basis to make using those apps as comfortable as possible.
If you’re using a modern jailbreak that uses Cydia Substrate as its primary means of tweak injection, be it checkra1n or unc0ver, then today might be a good time to fire up your preferred package manager and refresh your sources.
Substrate Safe Mode appears to have been updated to version 0.9.6003 with a critical bug fix. The checkra1n team shared the announcement in a Tweet delivered early Friday morning:
At the end of 2019, the Sileo Team launched a botched tool that could be used to port the Sileo package manager onto the bootrom exploit-based checkra1n jailbreak. The launch wasn’t as seamless as some would have hoped, lacking synergy with the official checkra1n installer app. Moreover, it uninstalled Cydia and checkra1n resources in place of Sileo and its own dependencies with seemingly no obvious way of reverting.
Those who’ve been following the progress of Sileo for checkra1n closely may have noticed a peculiar Tweet by way of the Sileo Team’s official Twitter account early Thursday morning:
Whether you have a preferred volume level for listening to music and videos or you merely wish to avoid the accidental changing of your iPhone’s volume level when you don’t mean to, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed VolumeLock by iOS developer LacertosusDeus just might come in handy in various niche situations.
Just as the tweak’s name implies, VolumeLock lets you lock your handset’s current volume level with a simple gesture. It can help prevent accidental volume button presses from changing the volume level, and it can also curb pranksters who think it’s funny to turn your volume all the way up when you aren’t looking.
It's a great time to be a jailbreaker, especially since there's the checkra1n jailbreak can't be patched and there are several other exploits looming in the wild for newer devices.
In this piece, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, January 27th to Sunday February 2nd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
One of the best reasons to own an iPhone is to have one of the world’s greatest point-and-shoot cameras at your disposal. But even better, those with jailbroken iPhones can augment their camera’s capabilities on top of all the killer features Apple provides out of the box.
Enter Fisting, an unfortunately named, but free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer kremedved that makes accessing your iPhone’s Camera app a cinch no matter where you are in the operating system.
