Features of Bootstrap

A jailbreak developer Évelyne used a method from “Zhuowei” to make changes in SpringBoard using a trick and a bug.

  • Bootstrap helps tweak most apps, excluding certain device areas like the Home Screen or Control Center. However, it allows the installation of apps and tweaks for system apps via the Settings app.
  • This setup gives access to important tools to make it easier to change different apps such as command line tools, OpenSSH, Sileo & Zebra apps, NewTerm 3 (Mobile Terminal), and Themes.

Bootstrap Vs Cydia 2

Cydia 2 is not the default package manager for Bootstrap Jailbreak, it only allows users to install Sileo and Zebra. However, most users prefer to use the modified Cydia 2 package manager.

Currently, Cydia 2 has become the top alternative to the original Cydia. It supports iOS versions 18 through 15 and offers amazing iOS apps, tweaks, and themes through its newly designed repositories.
