![]() But that doesn’t mean there’s no reason to jailbreak your iOS devices. Jailbreaking will allow you customize your iOS device in every way possible. You can install themes to change the look and feel of your iPhone or you can use Winterboard alternative like DreamBoard that allows you to transform your iPhone into an Android phone or transform your iPad into a Mac. Jailbreak tweaks also let you add a 5-icon dock, additional row of keys to iOS’ virtual keyboard, change the carrier logo and lots more. You can change app icons that annoy you to better versions, designed by people from the community.Īpple revamped the Messages app and added some cool features like audio messages, self-destructing attachments and more. However, I still miss jailbreak tweaks like biteSMS, that offer features like Quick Compose, scheduled messages, delivery reports, signatures etc. that are not available in the native app. While iOS 8 added widgets, they’re placed inside the Notification Center, and we hope that tweaks will let you move them from the Notification Center to the lock screen. We’ve already seen plenty of Lock screen tweaks like IntelliScreenX and LockInfo for iOS 7. ![]() With Control Center, we can only turn on or turn off 5 system toggles and 4 apps/features. CCToggles fixes this by allowing you to customize Control Center by allowing you to add extra toggles in the top row, and extra quick app launch icons in the bottom row.Īctivator transforms iOS into a mobile operating system for the power user. It allows you to invoke actions using shortcuts from anywhere in the iOS. You would be surprised by the number of shortcuts you can use such as double tap on the status bar, triple tap the Home button, double press the sleep button to trigger stock actions or launch an app or go to the Settings toggle. It offers almost limitless shortcuts to make it easier to use your iOS device. Instead of paying a monthly fee to your carrier, jailbreak apps like PdaNet and MyWi, allow you to tether your laptop to your iPhone’s data connection for a one-time fee. However, please remember that this can get you into trouble with your carrier so try this with caution.Īpple has made Find My iPhone more fool proof by adding Activation Lock, however it still does not offer features offered by jailbreak tweaks such as iCaughtU and iGotYa that take a photograph of the person who enters the wrong passcode using the front camera and PowerGuard, which prevents someone from turning off your device, makes it a lot more fool proof. There have been several instances it has helped catch a thief who is oblivious of such hacks. One of the major limitations of iOS is the lack of an option to set your favorite third-party app as the default app. Thankfully jailbreak tweaks like MapsOpener allow you to set Google Maps as the default app instead of Apple’s Maps app and BrowserChooser and BrowserChanger allow you to change the default brower. You can also use jailbreak tweaks like NowNow to replace Google Now with Siri.
