iOS 9.3.3 Cydia

How to Jailbreak iOS 10.2

Luca Todesco is at it again. After releasing a jailbreak for iOS 10.1.1 once iOS 10.2 came out, he has now released an iOS 10.2 jailbreak after iOS 10.2.1 is released. Nonetheless, it is a working iOS 10.2 jailbreak will allow you to get Cydia and having mobile substrate working, as well. Now there are a few other caveats to this jailbreak. Besides that you have to be on 10.2, it only works for all the iOS 10 64 bit devices besides the iPhone 7/7 Plus at the moment (Todesco has been adding devices with some of the new releases). […]

How to Jailbreak iOS 10.1.1

Luca Todesco, the Italian jailbreaker that showed off jailbreaks in the past without releasing them has finally released a jailbreak of his own. His tool, called Yalu, works to jailbreak iOS 10 up to iOS 10.1.1. Unfortunately, iOS 10.2 is out so that means this will only work for those that haven’t updated to 10.2 yet and will, of course, become obsolete as more people update to 10.2 (since you can’t downgrade back to 10.1.1). But, if you are on iOS 10.1.1 or a lower version of iOS 10, feel free to follow the steps below to get jailbroken and

iOS 9.3.3 Cydia

How to Jailbreak iOS 9.3.3 (Complete Guide)(Video)

So it’s finally happened. Pangu, the trusted jailbreak developer team, has a jailbreak for iOS 9.3.3. Now, it isn’t without a few caveats, the biggest draw back of which is that it is a tethered jailbreak. Meaning that if you restart your phone you’ll lose the jailbreak (big bummer). Hopefully there will be an untethered version in the future (and if so, this tutorial will still most likely pertain to that as well), but for those who are impatient, here’s how to jailbreak iOS 9.3.3 right now. Update 07/25/16: An even easier method has been released that, get this, doesn’t even require

iOS 9.1

How to Jailbreak iOS 9.1

I almost didn’t do this tutorial as it seems a bit unnecessary considering we are almost on iOS 9.3 now and most people are past 9.1 I’d imagine. But, I figured maybe there are some people who are still lingering on iOS 9.1 at the moment and want to jailbreak so let’s see. The Pangu team recently released a jailbreak for iOS 9.1 (again not the latest version of iOS at the time of writing this) and it’s caused some concern for people since usually they jailbreak the latest version as it comes out and that isn’t happening right now. Regardless

iOS 9 Breadcrumbs

How to Remove the iOS 9 Breadcrumbs (JB Tweak)(Video)

Thanks to there now being a jailbreak for iOS 9 and thanks to a developer who makes jailbreak tweaks, there is now a jailbreak tweak that can remove those slightly out-of-place looking breadcrumbs that appear at the top left of your iPhone whenever you are taken to an app from within another one. While this tweak doesn’t remove them entirely, like I wish it did, it at least let’s you be able to swipe them away at will (and maybe do the former in an update?).

Twitter Moments

How to Remove the Moments Tab from Twitter App in iOS (JB Tweak)(Video)

Twitter recently introduced Moments, a new way of aggregating news via tweets. You can tap the Moments tab in your Twitter app and see different news “moments” that are being talked about on Twitter all neatly organized by topic. Seems useful, but not everyone agrees. A lot of people, mainly angry at the fact there is a blue dot notification on the Twitter Moments tab every time you open the app, don’t want moments there and don’t use them (I’m one of them frankly, especially that damn blue dot…) Read More: How to Enable Live Photos on Any iPhone (JB Tweak)

3D Touch, Touchy

How to Enable 3D Touch on Any iPhone (JB Tweak) (Video)

Fair warning, this is still a work in progress and only works on the home screen, but still, if you want to at least have some idea of what your missing out on your simply, not the latest, iPhone, here’s a good way to experience it. A developer has created a new JB tweak that allows you to tap and hold to use the 3D touch features throughout the homescreen at least. Combine this with the Live Photos Tweak I did a video on last week and you have a pretty good idea of what 3D Touch is like (and

EnableLivePhotos

How to Enable Live Photos on Any iPhone (JB Tweak) (Video)

Live photos are a new feature Apple recently launched that allows you to take a photo, as you normally would, but have the phone automatically take a short video a few seconds before and after said photo. The result is when you tap and hold on a photo in your photos app, you get a neat little animation. Fun, right? Thing is, Apple, as is the norm with them, is restricting this feature to the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus on claims that it requires the new 3D Touch hardware to work. I have my own gripes about

Jailbreak iOS 9

Video: How to Jailbreak iOS 9

Well, well, even after all the naysayers said it couldn’t be done, it looks like iOS 9 has been jailbroken. The team that came through with the iOS 9 jailbreak is none other than the Pangu team, the same team behind the iOS 8 jailbreak. Not only does it jailbreak your iPhone but it’ll also install Cydia, the app store for jailbreak tweaks, and that’s kind of the whole point, really. If you aren’t familiar, jailbreaking allows you to alter every aspect of iOS through the downloading of “tweaks” from the Cydia store. These tweaks can then allow you to

CallBar

How to Stop Incoming Calls from Taking Up The Entire Screen on Your iPhone (Video) (JB Tweak)

Oh, people that still call other people… Don’t you know by now that no one calls anyone? Text me, email me, even ping me on Twitter, but actually dial me? Hold the phone. The only time I should ever get a phone call, is if whatever it is that needs to be said, is seriously time sensitive –as in if you don’t know right this minute, it’s going to mess something up. Maybe you’re coming up to the exit on the freeway you think you’re supposed to turn and need to confirm before you pass it? Fine. You’re standing in line to buy

How to Get a Full Fledged File Manager on Your iPhone (JB Tweak)

This week I have another jailbreak tweak I thought was fun, and it may be old, but it was just recently made to work with the latest version of iOS and it’s a good one so figured it was worth rehashing. iFile is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to do something unheard of on an iPhone –look at your own files. Crazy, I know, but Apple has never allowed iPhone users to look at the files on their phones (even though it’s okay on a Mac?). Not sure the reasoning behind it, but regardless (thanks to iFile) you don’t have to

Multitasking

How To Enable Split Screen Multitasking in the Reachability View on Your iPhone (JB Tweak)

Our jailbreak tweak this week is one made especially for iPhone’s of the larger screen variety –namely the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Reason being that it’s meant to make better use of the reachability feature found on these versions of the iPhone. Reachability, if you aren’t aware, is a feature Apple added to the newer iPhones to allow you to be able to still reach the top of the phone’s screen if you only have one hand free. You just double-tap (without clicking, by the way) on the home button to get the entire view in the screen to slide

CCSettings

How to Add More Options to The Control Center on Your iPhone (JB Tweak)

The control center on your iPhone is that semi-transparent shade that you can pull up from the bottom of your screen. Introduced in iOS 7, it’s a handy little thing if we’re honest. You can use it to control your current music player without having to open the actual app, use it to turn on the back light to find your keys, and use it to toggle on and off things like Wi-Fi, auto-rotate, do not disturb, and more. But, let’s be real, there’s always room for improvement and thanks to a jailbreak tweak called CCSettings, that improvement comes in

Barrel

How to Add Cool Animations to Your Homescreens on Your iPhone (JB Tweak)

Swirling, cubing, fading, any animation you can think of can now be applied to your homescreens on your iPhone thanks to a jailbreak tweak called Barrel. While Barrel isn’t a new tweak, it was recently updated to work with the latest version of iOS and it’s definitely worth mentioning yet again. You can download Barrel from Cydia for $2.99 and after its installed you simply open the app, tap the different animation you’d like to use and, from then on, whenever you swipe left or right on the homescreen of your iPhone, your icons won’t do their normal (see: boring)

ColorBadges

How to Change the App Icon Color to Match the App Icon (JB Tweak) (Video)

What makes something look great sometimes is that it matches. What I mean is that, if something needs to look great, everything should blend very well around it — especially the colors used. While Apple has taken every care to ensure that the app icons blend well with the overall appearance of the device, the notification icons need a slight change for them to better match with the app icons they originate from. While there’s no option to change the color for the notification icons by default, you can have one added using a Cydia tweak. Using ColorBadges to Change the App Icon
