The Sileo Team pushed a minor beta update for the Sileo package manager for Chimera jailbreak users on Monday, officially bringing it up to version 1.7.0 beta 1.
The announcement was shared via the Sileo Team’s official Twitter page early Monday morning:
Jailbreakers on iOS 9 through 13 who are donning the new Zebra package manager may be excited to learn that there’s a brand-new update available as of Sunday afternoon that squashes another substantial handful of bugs. The latest release of Zebra is now version 1.0.6
Citing the change log published on the official Zebra GitHub project page, Zebra v1.0.6 incorporates the following improvements:
With unpatchable jailbreaks like checkra1n in the wild, and powerful new tools like AltDeploy and Zebra at our disposal, it seems like the present is a great time to be a jailbreaker. If you’re donning a pwned handset of any kind, then you might be looking for ways to trick it out. Fortunately, this roundup will encompass all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, January 13th to Sunday, January 19th.
Jailbreakers who enjoy theming and colorizing their iOS device’s native user interface may want to turn their attention to a newly released and free jailbreak tweak named ColorScroll by iOS developer shepgoba.
Just as the name implies, ColorScroll permits users to configure custom colors for their handset’s scroll bars, which appear an disappear dynamically when you begin scrolling up or down an app’s interface with your finger.
The battery level indicator is perhaps one of the most important items in your iPhone’s Status Bar. Not only does it tell you how far along your handset’s battery percentage is, but it also gives you a rough idea of about how much longer you can expect to use your device before it’s time to plug it in to a power source.
There’s nothing particularly wrong with iOS’ native battery level indicator, but starting with Apple’s trendy notched handsets, the icon itself doesn’t display a numeric battery percentage anymore. Fortunately for those looking to change that, you can now download a new, free jailbreak tweak called half by iOS developers Soongyu Kwon and Ayden Leppert.
The Installer 5 package manager is now officially out of beta, which means that all jailbreakers now have yet another option to pick from in terms of managing their handset’s favorite tweaks and extensions.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you the steps necessary to install the all-new Installer 5 package manager on any jailbroken device running iOS 10 through 13.
It was only a couple of weeks ago that the Zebra package manager came out of beta to become publicly available to jailbreakers who wanted to a modern alternative to Cydia, but as of today, Zebra isn’t the only option.
Announced just this morning via the AppTapp Twitter page, it now seems that Installer 5 is officially out of beta and can be installed on jailbroken handsets running iOS 10 and later. Veteran jailbreakers may already be familiar with Installer, but the latest iteration has been rebuilt with newer versions of iOS in mind.
Not everyone cares about song lyrics, but if you’re the type of person who likes to follow along with whatever it might be that you’re listening to, then we have no doubt that you’ll enjoy a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Lyricify – originally by iOS developer ConorTheDev and more recently passed to iOS developer Renaitare.
As depicted in the screenshot examples, Lyricify was beautifully designed to display your favorite song lyrics directly on your handset’s Lock screen in an Apple-esque manner. With that in mind, the tweak looks and feels native, making it feel both familiar and easy to use.
I use Control Center almost every day, and in some cases, the shortcuts near the top of my iPhone’s display can be challenging to reach with just one hand. Given the circumstances, I’m particularly excited to talk about a newly released jailbreak tweak called StayLowCC by iOS developer ubik.
Just as the name implies, StayLowCC moves Control Center’s toggle suite as far down on your display as possible. An example of this is depicted in the screenshot embedded above.
Just last week, we showed you a jailbreak tweak that could generate a QR code for quickly and easily sharing your iPhone’s Personal Hotspot with another user, whether they were using iOS or another mobile operating system such as Android.
But now, a similar QR code-based jailbreak tweak called WiFiQR by iOS developer KingPuffDaddi has been released for sharing your currently-connected Wi-Fi network with others using comparable means to the tweak we showed you last week.
If you’re in the market to customize the way your jailbroken iPhone’s Control Center interface looks, then you probably won’t want to miss out a newly released jailbreak tweak called Magma Evo by iOS developer NoisyFlake.
As shown in the screenshot examples above, Magma Evo can be used to colorize and personalize your Control Center interface in more ways than one, and it integrates a plethora of options for doing so.
iOS’ notification system is long overdue for a visual overhaul, and it remains to be seen if Apple is working on any sort of first-party solution to this popular grievance among iOS device users.
Fortunately for jailbreakers, a newly released jailbreak tweak called Grupi by iOS developers Soongyu Kwon and Timeloop spearheads an effort to make iOS’ notification experience a whole lot better without needing to wait for an official solution from Apple.
