Control Center

Add powerful new features to the Now Playing interface with Apace 2

If you appreciated the first Apace jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson, then you’ll likely have a sweet spot for its iOS 11-compatible successor: Apace 2 (iOS 11).

Apace 2 augments your iOS handset’s Now Playing interface with features relevant to the app you use to listen to your favorite tunes. Whether you’re partial to Spotify, Deezer, or the native Music app, you could potentially benefit from what Apace 2 brings to the table.

CoolCC gives Control Center a subtle makeover

If you’re in the market to give your iPhone’s Control Center interface a quick makeover, then you might take an interest in a new free jailbreak tweak called CoolCC by iOS developer 4nni3.

As you can see from the screenshot examples above, CoolCC takes a lighter approach to styling the Control Center interface.

Duo adds a second page to Control Center in iOS 11

The modular Control Center interface in iOS 11 is great because you can customize the toggles and shortcuts that appear there. Unfortunately, Apple limits the how many you can have, and that’s where a new jailbreak tweak called Duo by iOS developer Muirey03 comes into play.

As the name “Duo” infers, this tweak gives you a secondary page in Control Center that provides additional space for more toggles and shortcuts.

RWP Slider lets you tweak iOS’ Reduce White Point feature on the fly

It’s only natural to fancy a lower display brightness when you’re in a dark environment, such as your bedroom during the night. Doing so makes viewing your display more comfortable by reducing the strain on your eyes.

But another eye-saving feature that comes bundled in iOS is Reduce White Point, and a new free jailbreak tweak called RWP Slider by iOS developer SpicaT makes it substantially easier to use.

This tweak displays a countdown to your alarm in Control Center

If you take advantage of the alarm feature on your iPhone or iPad as often as I do, then a new free jailbreak tweak called CCAlarmETA by iOS developer LonestarX may come off as intriguing to you.

Precisely as the name implies, CCAlarmETA puts an ETA indicator inside of the Control Center-based alarm shortcut any time there's an active alarm on your handset.

BottomControlX brings the classic Control Center gesture to the iPhone X

Much like other iOS handsets, the iPhone X comes equipped with Control Center for quick access to your favorite toggles, shortcuts, and features. But Apple made the gesture entirely different on its latest flagship by requiring you to pull down from the top right corner of the display.

If you don’t particularly enjoy this stock gesture on your iPhone X, then you may want to consider installing a new free jailbreak tweak called BottomControlX by iOS developer XCXiao.

RealCC improves Control Center’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles

Control Center’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles don’t entirely disable their corresponding wireless radios on iOS 11, but instead limit their capabilities such that system processes like AirDrop and Instant Hotspot, among others, continue working.

If you wish that iOS 11’s Control Center-based Bluetooth and Wi-Fi toggles worked as you’d expect them to, then you might be interested in a new free jailbreak tweak called RealCC by iOS developer Jake James.

This tweak lets you colorize iOS 11’s Control Center modules

One of the most significant changes to ship with iOS 11 was the redesigned modular Control Center interface. But despite everything Apple did to make Control Center more customizable, it still lacks color-based personalization.

A new free jailbreak tweak dubbed ColorMyCCModules by iOS developer iKilledAppl3 fills this void by providing users with a way to colorize Control Center’s various modules.

Maize officially released, brings iOS 11-inspired Control Center to jailbroken iOS 10 devices

Anyone wanting to make their jailbroken iOS 10 device look and feel more like an iOS 11 device shouldn’t leave the Creatix Dev Team’s Maize out of their collection. It’s the most in-depth port of the iOS 11 Control Center experience that we’ve witnessed to date.

We went in-depth with the newfangled jailbreak tweak just a few days ago, but we were toying with a pre-release at the time. Fortunately, the wait is now over, and you can officially download the tweak from Cydia starting today.

Meet Maize, the best iOS 11 Control Center port for jailbroken devices to date

If you’re sticking to your jailbroken installation of iOS 10, then you already know you’re missing out on the new features that ship with iOS 11. On the other hand, an extensive list of jailbreak tweaks can port several of iOS 11’s most sought-after UIs to most jailbroken iOS 10 devices.

One of the most prominent changes to ship with iOS 11 is the modular Control Center interface, which can be tailored to fit your individual needs. While ControlCenterXI ported a significant amount of this interface to iOS 10 devices previously, an upcoming jailbreak tweak release dubbed Maize by the Creatix Dev Team takes everything to the next level.
