Around three months ago, we showed you a jailbreak tweak called Tappy by iOS developer b4db1r3 that would let you tap on the Status Bar’s time indicator to reveal a date display, and it was a hit.
One of the most popular mods I always see on jailbroken iPhones is some kind of spoofed Status Bar carrier text, icons, and the likes.
Just a few years ago, we showed you a free jailbreak tweak called Eliza by iOS developer WilsontheWolf that applied a more realistic color scheme to your iPhone’s Status Bar-centric battery level indicator. More specifically, the tweak applied a gradient ranging from bright green to dark red, depending on the percent of remaining battery life at any given time.
TrollStore is a great way to enjoy hacks and UI enhancements on both jailbroken and non-jailbroken iOS 14.0-15.4.1 (and some 15.5 and 15.6 beta builds), and a new and free TrollStore-compatible add-on called SecondHand by iOS developer LeminLimez certainly grabbed our attention.
Sometimes you want to check the date really quick without leaving the app you’re in, and while you could to do that by swiping down to look at Notification Center, iOS developer b4db1r3 is out with a new and free jailbreak tweak called Tappy that just seems more convenient.
Jailbreaks are hard to come by these days, which is why so many people currently use TrollStore on iOS 14.0-15.4.1 (and some 15.5 and 15.6 betas) or the MacDirtyCow bug (on iOS 15.0-16.1.2) to enjoy a subset of must-have system mods.
If there’s one thing that the jailbreak community always responds well to, it’s a single jailbreak tweak that does it all such that it becomes unnecessary to install several smaller tweaks to do essentially the same thing.
Have you ever wanted to hide your iPhone’s Status Bar, but couldn’t because you weren’t jailbroken? If you answered yes to that question, then you’d be in luck.
Those donning a jailbroken iPhone who might be interested in adding a splash of color to their handset’s Status Bar will likely want to try a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called ColorBar15 by iOS developer DTCalabro.
The iOS 16.1.2 update brought with it a redesigned battery level indicator for notched handsets that displays a more accurate icon fill to match the numeric percentage. Sadly, users of non-notched handsets aren’t quite as fortunate.
iOS developer ElioFegh is out this weekend with a new jailbreak tweak called Christmassy that will help put you in the Christmas spirit this year.
iOS 16 introduced the native Status Bar-based numeric battery level percentage for notched handsets for the first time since the iPhone X debuted in 2017. All this despite how non-notched handsets have had it this entire time… *slow clap.*
