There’s been a lot of hype in the jailbreak community these past several weeks as we inch ever so close to a full-fledged iOS 12 jailbreak, but those already pwned on iOS 11 might be wondering what kind of jailbreak tweaks they should install.
This roundup will go over all the jailbreak tweaks released this week in Cydia. It will encompass all the tweaks released from Monday, February 18th to Sunday, February 24th in addition to some others. As always, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites first and then outline the rest afterward.
Our favorite releases this week
fastUpRepo – FREE
Admit it, no one likes waiting for Cydia to finish refreshing its sources. Fortunately, a free jailbreak tweak called fastUpRepo promises to speed things up a bit by blocking translations that would otherwise waste more of your time.
With fastUpRepo, you’ll shave a few seconds from the time
required to refresh Cydia’s sources and see any new jailbreak tweaks that are
available; it won’t be a night and day difference unless you have a lengthy
repository list, but it’s still an improvement nonetheless.
You can download fastUpRepo from Julio Verne’s beta
repository.
Fiona – FREE
Wi-Fi-enabled devices tend to disconnect from wireless
networks when they fall asleep to reduce battery consumption, only reconnecting
occasionally as needed to refresh notification information and the likes.
On the other hand, this can produce delays for the user when picking up their sleeping handset. In some cases, it takes a few seconds after waking up for Wi-Fi to be available, which delays web usage.
Fiona is a free jailbreak tweak that can fix this issue, as it prevents your iOS handsets from disconnecting from available Wi-Fi networks as they sleep. While this will increase Wi-Fi performance, it’s worth noting that it can also impact your battery life; so choose your poison.
Fiona is available for free from Julio Verne’s beta
repository.
