7 Best Jailbreak Tweaks that Work on iOS 8.4
Trusty ol’ internet. Just as soon as iOS 8.4 was released, so was a tried and true method for jailbreaking. But what would a jailbroken phone be without its tweaks? Keep reading for a list of compatible tweaks for iOS 8.4 as well as 7 of the most interesting ones available now.
To find any of these, simply head to your Cydia store and search for them (video on how to do that located here). If you don’t have Cydia on your phone, head here for how to get it.
f.lux
Blue lights can really mess your night up. Popular opinion is that the blue luminescent light emitted by smart phone and computer screens contribute to poor sleep hygiene by way of inhibiting melatonin production. This aggression will not stand! By allowing users to dim the light of their phones to a more gentle, sepia tone, f.lux grants respite to strained, blood-shot eyes.
Alkaline
Admittedly just a vanity style tweak, Alkaline can really tie your iPhone screen’s aesthetic together. It is a means for changing the theme for your phone’s battery, wi-fi, and data indicators. Simple and to the point.
Watchdog Lite
Watchdog Lite is a free, trial version of the multitasking tweak, Watchdog. This tweak allows users to download/upload large files and allows apps to load while in the background. A godsend for those of us too impatient to wait for games to load in the foreground while we could be doing any number of other more interesting things!
Activator
Activator is a nifty tweak that links actions to various customizable triggers set up by the user. For instance, one could set up a “three finger pinch” gesture to execute any number of actions. The possibilities for customization are seemingly endless.
Tage
Tage is a multitasking workhorse of a tweak. A well designed collection of gestures gives users quick access to a variety of useful functions: App switching, reboot, power off, safe mode, and quit all apps are just a number of useful and immediately accessible functions accessible via gesture.
Cirdock
Cirdock is a tweak that turns your dock into a variable Lazy Susan and is highly customizable with different looks. More than just a sleek means of accessing apps from a single screen, it also presents itself as an alternative to the app switcher.
LyricForMusic
As anyone who’s had any interest looking up lyrics to songs can attest: song lyric aggregator websites are the worst. Don’t patronize those websites. Instead, use this tweak and sing along to your favorite songs without the hassle of a million useless ads shoved down your eye sockets.
