Envoy lets you remove the unwanted sections from Facebook Messenger

It seems to be a mutual interest of a great number of Facebook Messenger users to remove those unwanted "Favorites" and "Active Now" sections from the Facebook Messenger app.

Although we covered a tutorial in the past on how to remove these features manually for a temporary period of time, they would always come back after a few days or weeks. A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Envoy aims to change that.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: 3DAppLock, Iconizer, & more…

Since the launch of the iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak from Pangu, Cydia has been surging with new jailbreak tweak releases. The change in atmosphere has brought an end to the drought, at least for now.

In this roundup, we'll talk about all of the jailbreak tweaks that were released this week, starting with our favorites and then moving on to the rest.

Iconizer: the ultimate Home screen app icon effects tweak?

For some people, adding a touch of personality to their Home screen is one way that they set themselves apart from the stock iOS community. Of course, a touch isn't always enough. If you're looking for something a little more in-depth, then try a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Iconizer.

With Iconizer, you can not only tinker with Home screen app icon animations, but you can also add some catchy-looking effects to your app icons. All of the effects are 100% customizable, and we'll show you what this tweak is all about in this review.

BookmarksIcons displays the actual website icons for your Safari bookmarks

One of the things I find very bland about the Safari web browser for the iOS platform is how all of the bookmarks show the same icon. Not only does this look repetitive and fatiguing for the eyes, but it isn't as friendly to interact with.

Most modern desktop web browsers show the actual website icon when you bookmark a web page, and the mobile Safari web browser should be no different. If you're jailbroken, you can install a new jailbreak tweak called BookmarksIcons to accomplish this.

This tweak lets you unlock your iPhone with Touch ID even without a passcode

All of Apple's iPhones since the iPhone 5s, and even the latest iPad models, come with Touch ID fingerprint scanners that let you have access to your device almost immediately without the need to waste time entering a password or passcode at the Lock screen.

However, if you never use a passcode anyways, but you still enjoy the functionality of Touch ID, you can use a new jailbreak tweak called AlwaysTouch.

How to un-jailbreak iOS 9.3.3 with Cydia Eraser

Saurik has officially updated Cydia Eraser this week with support for iOS 9.3.3, which means anyone who jailbroke with the Pangu jailbreak tool now has a way to un-jailbreak their devices without using iTunes to restore and update their device.

In this tutorial, we'll show you how and why to use Cydia Eraser to un-jailbreak your iOS 9.3.3 device.

Wave2Wake lets you lock & unlock your iPhone with its proximity sensor

Every iPhone has a proximity sensor at the top that helps turn off the display whenever you have your phone close to your face during a phone call, and utilizing that sensor for other purposes is nothing new to the jailbreak community.

With Wave2Wake, which is a new jailbreak tweak that utilizes the proximity sensor, you can use it to lock and unlock your device.

Cydia Eraser updated to support iOS 9.3.3

Saurik has launched an update for the Cydia Eraser tool on Thursday so that it can now be used to un-jailbreak iOS 9.3.3 if you used the Pangu jailbreak tool.

The timing couldn't be better, as Apple recently released iOS 9.3.4 and is expected to close the iOS 9.3.3 signing window in the near future.

Set up a custom Home screen layout with Genous

For some people, adding a personal touch to everything they can on their jailbroken iOS device is what makes their device their own.

With a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Genous, you will be able to control how many rows and columns of apps you have on each of your individual Home screen pages.
