Important stuff from this week

Jailbreak news of the week: What iOS 18 ‘borrowed’ from jailbreaking, Doodle passcode, & more… (2)

iOS & iPadOS 18 introduce a whole lot of new features for the iPhone and iPad, many of which we never thought would see the light of day on a stock device.

But many of those new features have been available to jailbreakers for several years before coming to iPhones and iPads right out of the box.

You can learn about all those features in our full feature post.

Doodle

Doodle is a new jailbreak tweak that replaces the Lock Screen’s traditional PIN-based passcode entry interface or optional alphanumeric password entry interface with a doodling interface.

With it, you can ‘draw’ your passcode instead of entering boring letters and numbers to unlock your device.

You can learn more about Doodle in our full review post.

TrollLEDs

TrollLEDs is a TrollStore-based add-on for the rear-facing LED flash on your iPhone running iOS 11 or later that offers more granular control over color temperature.

It achieves this by letting you independently set the cool and warm white LED brightness intensities.

Nothing Iconpack
