A day cannot go by right now without a new Electra update being released.
This time we have beta 9 of the jailbreak toolkit finding its way into the hands of everyone who wants to get their hands on it, and with a few changes this time around it is well worth updating if you use it.
For those unfamiliar with Electra – you really should be, given the frequency with which are are covering its beta updates – the software is known as a jailbreak toolkit rather than a jailbreak, essentially because it is missing some of the creature comforts normally associated with a standard jailbreak tool. Namely, there is no Cydia, among other things. Still, with Electra you can basically jailbreak iOS 11.0 through iOS 11.1.2, which makes it a great tool for those creating tweaks and who need a way to test their work on devices. And since it features Comex’s Substitute – which is basically an alternative to Saurik’s Cydia Substrate – you can install tweaks on it too if you like using something like Tweak Installer.
With that said, what’s changed in beta 9 of Electra? Plenty, actually.
Beta 9:
- Sandbox is now working on the first launch for apps and daemons (thanks stek29)
- Remove 0.5 second delay when launching apps or daemons that was present since beta 1 (coolstar)
- Check if a new beta is available when electra is launched
- Double-launch workaround has been removed since it’s no longer needed, fixing all bugs introduced on beta 8
- Remove AnemoneFonts.dylib as it was causing problems
- Important Note: If you are upgrading from beta 8-2 or lower to any beta 9 or higher, you will need to reinstall all tweaks and themes
Sounds worth a try, doesn’t it?
The latest beta of Electra can be downloaded in .IPA form from the official website coolstar.org/electra/ with installation carried out via the well known Cydia Impactor.
