Why Jailbreaking is Dying, and What We Can Do About It?

Image
It’s commonly believed that the downfall of jailbreaking has been caused by the replacement of the most necessary tweaks by built-in iOS features. Largely, I think that this is not the case, because there are still so many things wrong with iOS, whether it’s: a lack of a dark mode lack of info in the photos app no default browser setting a locked down file system shitty multitasking no theming apps forcing their will on you  We could go on and on naming the flaws in iOS. The real reason jailbreak is dying is that Cydia—which used to be the anarchist’s App Store—has now become a junk yard that only enthusiast developers and power users are willing to sort through to find the tweaks that they need to actually use their phones in any meaningfully useful way. Nowadays developers don’t even bother making tweaks because nobody will even see what they make, which in turn leads more people to not even bother jailbreaking. Here are a few ways to fix this: 1.Revamp Cydia : Cydia is

Yesterday, Apple opened up the pre-orders for its flagship device, iPhone X in 55 countries. The smartphone sold out within 30 minutes indicating that the hype is, indeed, real. This device has been so successful, Apple is all set to break its previous records by selling 262 million units in 2017. Why is iPhone X selling like crazy? Complete reboot iPhone X is a complete reboot in terms of technology and design.

Just think about it, iPhone X looks nothing like any other previous iPhone. The excitement to

How to Transfer WhatsApp Messages to New iPhone

Image
​Some of us prefer to use WhatsApp over other messaging apps such as Telegram or even iMessage. Over time, WhatsApp will store a lot of data on your iPhone, such as photos, videos, message, voice messages, and so on. When you buy a new iPhone, you cannot afford to lose all these precious data. In this tutorial, we’ll show you the two different methods of transferring your WhatsApp messages to a new iPhone. The first method involves using iCloud to transfer your messages from one iPhone to another. First, you’ll backup your WhatsApp on iCloud using your old iPhone and then restore them on your new iPhone. Here’s how to do it. Step 1: On your old iPhone, open Settings and tap on your name at the top. Step 2: Tap on iCloud. Step 3: Toggle on iCloud Drive. Below it, you’ll find a list of all the apps that back up their data to iCloud. Find WhatsApp and make sure that it is toggled on. Step 4: Now open WhatsApp and go to the Settings tab. Step 5: Open

Vision Transforms Your Home Screen Icons Into Moving 3D Shapes

Image
Looking for a unique way to spice up that jailbroken device of yours? Then look no further than a new jailbreak tweak called Vision by veteran iOS developer Elias Limneos. Vision has a slew of different three-dimensional shapes you can choose from; six in total. To respond to movement, Vision takes advantage of your device's accelerometer and gyroscope sensors, like so: Your app icons have the freedom to rotate a full 360º, so your wrist is the only thing limiting their range of movement. All options you configure will take effect without respringing your device; that said, you can check out the changes you make immediately to ensure you like what you see. Because Vision is GPU-heavy, it won't run as well on older devices. Limneos says that the tweak works on iPhone 5 and later. If you experience unwanted slowness, try disabling things like light reflection and motion blur to reduce the strain on system resources. Overall, Vision is a fun and quirky tweak to make

How to Restore iDevice if You Used Saïgon Beta 2 and Stashed the System?

Image
New beta available here . Cheesecakeufo confirmed on discord that beta 2 did not place a cydianostash file in the root directory. Beta 2 rev 1 fixes this issue. Note that if you used beta 2 after having previously using beta 1, you would be probably okay. If you just used beta 2, but you haven't opened Cydia yet, please don't reboot immediately or install beta 2 rev 1. If beta 2 was the first jailbreak you used, you stashed your system, HS icons are missing, etc. and you have not rebooted yet, please follow this guide: EDIT : If you have shsh2 blobs for 10.2.1, and you're on iPhone 6S, use Prometheus to restore. It's far safer. If not, continue below. Step 1 Download the Cydia Eraser iOS 10 deb file (saurik claims its compatible 10.0-10.3.3) to your computer Note that its still very untested on 10.2.1+ but the only other choice is to update Step 2 Download the open deb to your computer as well.

5 Reasons Why Apple TV Jailbreak is Totally Useless

Image
There was a lot of hype surrounding the LiberTV jailbreak. But is it really worth jailbreaking your Apple TV? Let’s find out below. Here are the top 5 reasons why an Apple TV jailbreak is as good as useless. 1. Obsolete nitoTV This is by far the main reason why LiberTV tvOS jailbreak is useless. As you know,jailbreaking itself doesn’t amount to anything if there are no tweaks or packages you can install on your set-top box. nitoTV, the Cydia alternative for Apple TV, is still not functional on tvOS 10 firmware months after LiberTV’s release. Kevin Bradley, the developer of nitoTV, confirmed that he was working on a port for iOS 10. This announcement was made back in early May, almost 6 months earlier. He hasn’t been very active in the jailbreak scene for quite a few months now. Moreover, his Twitter account has now gone private as well. The reason being those stupid “wen eta jailbreak” trolls. 2. Sideloading Just like sideloading is becoming increasingly popular with i

Top 10 Paid iPhone Apps Gone Free This Week

Image
This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app anyway, you will be charged by Apple. 1.

Is There a New Hope for iOS 10.3.3 Jailbreak?

Image
A few months ago, Adam Donenfeld, a famous security researcher said he would attend the security meeting and share the security hole about iOS 10.3.1 he found. And he told that users who want to jailbreak are not suggested to upgrade to iOS 10.3.2 or later. However,, Adam Donenfeld does not represent any thing about iOS 10 jailbreak tool. He would love to offer help to other developers who want to develop new jailbreak. Recently, he denied that his technical knowledge could be applied to iOS 10.3.3 jailbreak. This news raises the hope for iOS 10.3.3 jailbreak to iFans. Adam Donenfeld did not reply to the question directly when someone asked him about the release date of new jailbreak. He mentioned that, in the future many stuff would bond to each other. Everyone that involved to jailbreak, including developers, researchers and end users expect the release of new jailbreak tool. And many iPhoneGuide users ask 3u Team about the release date of new jailbreak. When someone ask

UpsideBoard: Let You Add Upside Down Orientation Support for SpringBoard

Image
A new free jailbreak tweak   called UpsideBoard was released by iOS developer ipad_kid. You are able to add home button on top on your jailbroken iDevice.  One of the minor details that set Plus-sized iPhones apart from the rest of Apple’s lineup is the extra support for landscape orientation throughout iOS, which extends to unexpected places like the Hoem screen.  The iPad offers similar Home screen orientations and undoubtedly served as inspiration for Plus-sized handsets, but Apple’s tablets also accommodate for upside-down viewing, while Plus-sized iPhones don’t. As trivial as it sounds, this tweak brings upside-down Home screen orientation support to iPhones. What’s more is the tweak doesn’t appear to be limited to Plus-sized handsets like the other orientations are. While most users are unlikely to rotate their Home screen upside-down in their daily usage habits, it’s still aesthetically-pleasing to witness as the sensors the react to your movement. UpsideBoard works wi

iOS 10.3.3 is Still OTA Signed for Some A7 iDevices

Image
In addition to being signed for all A6 and A6X devices, iOS 10.3.3 is still OTA signed for the following A7 devices: iPhone 5S: iPhone6,1 and iPhone6,2 iPad Air: iPad4,1, iPad4,2 and iPad4,3 iPad mini 2: iPad4,4 and iPad4,5 These originally ran iOS 7.0.x. 10.3.3 is not OTA signed for those that started on 7.1 or higher, which are the following: iPad mini 2: iPad4,6 iPad mini 3: iPad4,7, iPad4,8 and iPad4,9 It might be that users of these devices can restore to 10.2 using a nonce setter and saved blobs whenever they want, given that 10.3.3 continues to be OTA signed (8.4.1 and 6.1.3 did). According to a reddit user, he doesn’t own any 64-bit devices, but on 32-bit, we can restore to firmware with blobs and use any baseband that is still OTA signed. To save 10.3.3 OTA blobs with tsschecker the reddit user used the following command (replace the --ecid and -d parameters with whatever you have): ./tsschecker_macos --save-path . --ecid 0x1 -s -o -i 9.9.10.3.3 --buildid 14

How to View the Status of your App Store and iTunes Subscriptions?

Some App Store apps and iTunes services sometimes require a subscription to unlock more features. At about $10 per month, Apple Music is the perfect example of an iTunes subscription service that offers considerably more for a monthly fee. With more and more apps and services offering a subscription, it sometimes becomes hard to keep track of all of them, and you might end up paying for things you don’t use or need anymore. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep tab on your active subscriptions and make sure you aren’t wasting money. In this post, we will show you how to view the status of your App Store and iTunes subscriptions on either your iPhone or directly from iTunes on your computer. How to view subscriptions status on iPhone or iPad? 1) On your iPhone or iPad, launch the Settings app. 2) Scroll down to the iTunes & App Store section, tap on it. 3) Tap on your Apple ID at the top. 4) Tap on View Apple ID, and enter your password or submit your Touch ID fi
