CallBar X, Pascal and other jailbreak-tweets of the week

Thanks to the jailbreak of Electra, developers can create new jailbreak tweaks and themes for iOS 11 and other supported versions of the system. Every week we tell you about all the new tweaks released in Cydia, and this week will not be an exception. In this collection, we list all the new tweaks and start as usual with the best of them.

Top tweaks of the week

CallBar X

The interface of the incoming call in iOS occupies the whole screen of the smartphone, but the CallBar X tweak can change this, putting everything in the small banner.

With Twink CallBar X, you can continue to do their own thing during the incoming call, which can not be done with the standard iOS interface.

CallBar X can be activated at any time with the Activator extension to start an outgoing call, etc.

ChromaHomeBarX

ChromaHomeBarX is a tweak that changes the color of the Home indicator on the iPhone X.

After installing tweaks, you can customize the color and appearance of the indicator by selecting from several themes and animations.

Pascal

The iOS incoming call interface is not the only drawback of the operating system. There is also an inconvenient interface to change the volume. Luckily, for this problem there was a solution, and this is the tweak Pascal .

Pascal replaces the iOS volume control interface with a handy banner. It also has a play, pause, rewind, and information about the content being played.

The developer promised that in the future he will add even more functions.

TapVideoConfig

Sometimes you need to quickly change the video recording quality in the Camera, but you need to do many steps and change the option in the settings.

The new jailbreak TapVideoConfig makes it easy, allowing me to record video quality right in the Camera. By clicking on the convenient icon, you can choose from all available options that your device supports.

Jailbreak Meridian for 64-bit devices with iOS 10.x

After a long wait, the final version of the Meridian jailbreak for iOS 10.0 - 10.3.3 finally came out publicly.

Jailbreak Meridian was developed by the hackers PsychoTea, Siguza and others, and its value can not be underestimated. The tool supports all versions of iOS 10, and jailbreak Yalu supported only 10.0 - 10.2. Moreover, Meridian also works on the iPhone 7, in contrast to Yalu.

Jailbreak Meridian is available as an .IPA file, which is downloaded to the device via Cydia Impactor. After that, the application needs to start trusting in Settings, and then start it as usual and install a jailbreak.

Like Yalu with Electra, this is a semi-tied jailbreak so you will need to reinstall it through the application after every reboot of the device.

Users have noticed that the Meridian jailbreak is slightly more stable than Yalu. This is due to the fact that Meridian is a jailbreak without KPP, and it does not depend on various circumvention techniques.

Most users are already using Electra jailbreak for iOS 11, but Meridian remains an excellent option for those who have not updated with iOS 10.

If you want to install a Meridian jailbreak on your device, you can download it from the official Meridian website.

Electra jailbreak for iOS 11.3.1: all you need to know

Coolstar and the team Electra finally released the long-awaited jailbreak Electra for iOS 11.3.1 - iOS 11.2 . In this article, we will answer all your questions about the new tool.

What is a jailbreak?

Jailbreak is the process of removing the limitations of the iOS system, freeing Apple from bans. Hackers hack the mobile system through vulnerabilities and exploits. This allows you to access "root" to the iOS file system, as well as to the file manager, and install applications not approved by Apple. Users can install jailbreak applications, tweaks and themes to change their device to their taste and add more features to it.

Is jailbreak legal?

Jailbreak is legal. The Library of Congress gave permission to jailbreak smartphones like iPhones, tablets, smart TVs and other devices. Accordingly, users do not violate any laws.

However, the Apple support document for jailbreak says that the company has the right to refuse servicing the device with unofficial software. That is, all users with a jailbreak, regardless of the availability of the warranty, may not receive support from Apple. Fortunately, removing jailbreak from the device is very easy, and the company does not find out that it was once on your device.

What is Electra Jailbreak ?

Electra is a semi-tied jailbreak for the hacker and coolstar developer, as well as the whole Electra team.

Coolstar first released the iTra 11 jailbreak for iOS 11.1.2, and it was the first jailbreak for iOS 11, iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

The latest version of the jailbreak Electra Jailbreak can be installed on iOS 11.3.1 (and iOS 11.4 beta) - iOS 11.2.

What does "semi-tied jailbreak" mean?

A semi-tied jailbreak is similar to an untethered one, but after each reboot the jailbreak stops working. Fortunately, its activation does not require a computer, because it's enough just to reinstall it through the application on the device. In this case, this application is Electra.

What versions of iOS support jailbreak Electra ?

The latest version of the Electra tool supports the following versions of iOS: 
• iOS 11.3.1 
• iOS 11.3

If you have iOS 11.1.2 and below, you can use the previous version of the jailbreak Electra. You can read our instructions on how to install jailbreak iOS 11.1.2 - iOS 11.

Can I roll back or upgrade to iOS 11.3.1?

You can update or roll back to iOS 11.3.1 using futurerestore only if you have saved the SHSH2 blobs files of the desired version. You can use our instructions on how to do a rollback through futurerestore .

• vfs: Uses exploit vfs exploit, does not require an Apple developer account, but works worse than another version.

You can download jailbreak Electra from the official  website of the developer. Do not download the tool from unofficial sites - it may contain viruses.

How to install the jailbreak Electra on iPhone , iPad or iPod touch ?

You can use our step-by-step instructions on how to install the jailbreak Electra for 11.3.1 - iOS 11.2 . Recall that so far the instrument is unstable.

If you have any problems, read this article .

Can I install tweaks and themes?

Yes, jailbreak Electra for iOS 11.3.1 includes the application Cydia, with which it is easy and convenient to install Tweaks.

What tweaks are compatible with iOS 11.3.1?

So far, not all developers have updated their tweaks for iOS 11.3.1, and installing an unsupported tweak on the device can lead to problems. Therefore, carefully review the list that we have made for you, and be careful. Also read about the best sources and repositories of Cydia .

Do I need to do something after installing jailbreak iOS 11.3.1 - iOS 11.2?

It is necessary to change the default password "root" on the device, since the tool installs an SSH server so that no one can access your device.

Why provide your Apple ID ?

The Electra jailbreak is downloaded via the Cydia Impactor program, which requires the installation of your Apple developer account. By providing an Apple ID, you create a certificate and install it on your device to open the application.

We do not recommend using your basic Apple ID, it's better to create a new one specifically for jailbreak installation.

Does the Electra jailbreak expire ?

If you install the Electra application without a developer account, it will only work for 7 days, and then it will need to be reinstalled via Cydia Impactor.

Will the tweaks disappear after the expiration of the period?

The Cydia app and installed tweaks will remain on your device even after the certificate expires. Jailbreak will also continue to work. It will stop working only the application itself, which you need to reinstall the jailbreak after reboot.

What will happen after the expiration of the period?

After the expiration of all installed tweaks, the application Cydia and jailbreak will remain on the device. Only the application will stop working. To update the certificate, you will have to reload the application to the device via Cydia Impactor.

How to fix Cydia Impactor's "provision.cpp" error ?

An error can occur for several reasons, but you can read about how to fix it .

Can I install OpenSSH?

No, jailbreak already contains SSH daemon (dropbear). Installing OpenSSH can cause problems.

How to remove jailbreak Electra ?

The method depends on the reason you want to remove the jailbreak. 
• You can restore your iPhone or iPad via iTunes, but in this way you will be restored to the latest available firmware version - iOS 11.4.1, which can not be jailbroken installed. 
• You can use unjailbreak.sh to remove jailbreak and tweaks without updating iOS.
