Following the official public debut of the Zebra package manager on New Year’s Day, the project received its first update yesterday with a generous handful of bug fixes and improvements. But a subsequent update released early Friday morning brought Zebra up to version 1.0.2.
Zebra v1.0.2 isn’t as significant of an update as v1.0.1 was, but it’s something that checkra1n and unc0ver users will want to install if they’ve decided to try the young package manager.
I very seldom use my iPhone’s Spotlight interface for anything now that I can just use Siri to command almost anything I need. Nevertheless, the former still comes in handy when you want to find an app or perform basic math without using your voice.
Niche uses aside, Apple doesn’t provide any way of customizing the Spotlight user interface on a stock device, but jailbreakers can now take advantage of a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Spotlightizer by iOS developer 1di4r to bypass this seemingly unnecessary restriction.
The jailbreak community kicked off the new year yesterday with the first official public release of the Zebra package manager, an alternative to defaults like Cydia and Sileo that are traditionally pre-installed by jailbreak tools in order for users to install and manage jailbreak tweaks and extensions.
Today, however, Zebra received its first formal update to version 1.0.1 with a generous handful of bug fixes and improvements.
The removal of the Home button from Apple’s notched handset lineup compelled the company to adopt a new button sequence for snapping screenshots on those devices. I’ve gotten accustomed to the new button sequence since adopting notched iPhones as my daily drivers since the iPhone X debuted, and I’ve found it somewhat challenging to remember to use the old screenshot button sequence on Home button-equipped devices.
If you’re like me and wish Apple would simply update iOS to make the screenshot button sequence the same across all devices for consistency’s sake, then you might appreciate a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Shot Pro by iOS developer Arablag, as that’s exactly what this add-on does for older handsets.
The Zebra package manager for jailbroken handsets is officially out of beta as of today, and if you have any intention of installing it on your device(s), then you might be pleased to learn that it’s a fairly straightforward process with no strings attached.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you the steps necessary to install the all-new Zebra package manager on any jailbroken device running iOS 9 through 13.
Cydia has enjoyed its throne as the king of package managers on jailbroken handsets for more than a decade, but are we quickly entering a day and age where the tried and true Cydia will pass on the torch to something new?
One might be inclined to think so; especially now that Zebra, a popular third-party alternative to Cydia, is kicking off the new year in 2020 with an official public release. Zebra has been in beta testing for quite some time, but as of Wednesday afternoon, the package manager is no longer in beta, and it should be safe enough for the general public to go ahead and try on their own.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released starting Monday, December 23rd and ending Sunday, December 29th.
As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorites first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Welcome to this week’s jailbreak tweak roundup – your one-stop shop for finding all the latest tweak and add-on releases for the week starting on Monday, December 16th and ending on Sunday, December 22nd.
As always, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases this week first, and then we’ll wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
When you receive a phone call from your locked iPhone, iOS automatically directs you to a ‘slide to answer’ interface with no obvious way of dismissing the phone call. You can press the side button a couple of times to dismiss the call, but not everyone knows this, and it this seems like a user interface shortcoming on Apple’s part.
Given the circumstances described above, we’re especially pleased to see the release of a new jailbreak tweak called LetMeDecline by iOS developer P2Kdev. As depicted in the before and after screenshot examples above, this tweak replaces the ‘slide to answer’ bar with dedicated Decline and Answer buttons, making it easier to get the annoying full-screen incoming call interface out of your way.
Now that jailbreakers have access to the un-patchable checkra1n jailbreak on iOS devices as new as the iPhone X, it’s a great time to be a part of the pwned handset community.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, December 9th to Sunday, December 15th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorites first and then wrap things up afterward.
The checkra1n team is out with a brand-new update for the macOS-centric checkra1n jailbreak tool Saturday morning with official support for Apple’s newly-released iOS 13.3 and several bug fixes and improvements.
The checkra1n team shared news of the latest public beta, dubbed v0.9.7 via Twitter just this morning:
If you’re freshly jailbroken on iOS 13 by way of checkra1n, then you may want to do yourself a favor and follow a project called Juice, a new public beta jailbreak tweak by iOS developer SparkDev that permits users to customize the appearance of the Status Bar’s battery indicator in a satisfying way.
The concept of customizing iOS’ native battery indicator certainly isn’t new, but Juice is in a league of its own. An intuitive interface coupled with seemingly endless options spells out a user experience that seems unparalleled by anything else we’ve seen to date.
