Albeit released a very long time ago, one of my favorite utilitarian jailbreak tweaks of all time wasPullToRespringbecause it made it incredibly easy for me to respring my jailbroken handset on demand.
For a while there, it seemed like tweaks of this nature became a thing of the past, but iOS developerConorTheDevhas breathed new life into the concept with the release of a new freejailbreak tweakcalledDragspring.
As you might’ve noticed, Dragspring is largely inspired by PullToRespring; in fact, it even works the same way. Upon pulling down from the top of the Settings app and releasing your finger, a respring will commence. As you pull down, you’ll see an animation where the loading circle begins to fill. Once the animation completes a 360-degree spin, you can release your finger.
Dragspring goes a step further than the original by providing users with an added bit of customization. You’ll find a dedicated preference pane in the Settings app where you can set the tweak up however you want:
Here, you can:
You’ll see that there’s a Respring button at the top of the preference pane, and you’ll want to use it if you make any changes to the Settings. Respringing ensures that those changes are appended to your device and that you’ll see them the next time you use the tweak.
Dragspring works with alljailbrokeniOS 11 and 12 devices andis available as a free download from ConorTheDev’s beta repository in Cydia. If you aren’t already using it, then you’re able to add it to Cydia by following these steps:
