The Best Tweaks Available for iOS Devices

There are numerous tweaks out there for the iPhone and iOS device user. Many of them relate to being able to unlock, or jailbreak, an iPhone or iOS device and make it accept other apps and software that were not designed for it. For instance, jailbreaking software and tools such as cydia, checkra1n, and the jellyfish tweak. This article will explore these three for the iPhone user to consider. In principle, they all relate to making your phone more functional.

Cydia

Cydia is graphical user interface that was initially released in 2008. It is a jailbreaking app that allows users to customize their devices to almost the same extent as an Android phone. It allows for iPhones and other iOS devices to be re-configured to find and accept third-party software and apps that are not available from Apple. This results in improved performance from a device, together with more video and game options to explore. It allows for excellent personalization options. You can also switch to the default options any time that you want. iPhone and iOS device users can obtain a multitude of free apps.

Checkra1n

Checkra1n is a robust and reliable tool used by jailbreakers which allows the user to do many things that would not otherwise be possible on an Apple device. It will jailbreak a variety of hardware and older devices reliably and quickly. It will install an SSH server and additional utilities. This is a bonus because it makes this tool perfect for hobbyists and researchers who will want to explore the internals of their devices. Different to other jailbreaks, checkra1n will exploit the iOS vulnerabilities. Checkm8 will target the flaws in the Boot ROM. This is the first code which runs when any iDevice is switched on. Because this code is burned into hardware it is not possible for it to be patched. It is for this reason that checkr1n will work with all new iOS releases and during the lifetime of vulnerable phones.

Jellyfish

From iOS developers, jellyfish will improve the design of the device’s screen with its new lock screen aesthetic that has been inspired by watchOS Motion face. Despite significantly departing from the native iOS lock screen, the relationship to watchOS means that the user can experience an Apple aesthetic and feel about their phone. With no options to have to configure, the tweak will result in the phone’s design looking amazing from that moment it is installed. Jellyfish provides an immersive lock screen experience which displays not only the time but also local weather details. In addition, the batter level of your handset will show as soon as it is plugged into the power socket. Jellyfish will be interactive with any wallpaper applied to it. The display that the user can expect will be part translucent in its display of data, so allow the dominating colours of your wallpaper to shine through the time, date, weather, and battery information. The jellyfish tweak will provide a wonderfully beautiful two-tone scheme of colour that will match perfectly with your wallpaper. It can be said that jellyfish is one of the reasons that the jailbreaking community exists, to give the iPhone a modern look as well as make it more useable.

The one thing that all these apps, tools, or tweaks, have in common, is that they are jailbreaking solutions that will open your iPhone or other iOS device up to accepting software and apps from alternative providers other than Apple, making a device more useful and user friendly. Jellyfish, as you can see, is very much about improving the aesthetics and look of the device’s screen, which is important because it is what you will see every time that you switch your device on, and with everything that you do.
