It almost seems like there’s been a distinguishable influx of all-in-one jailbreak tweaks lately, and each new release we cover seems to be outdone by something new just a few weeks later. The famous Springtomize tweak once enjoyed its title as the king of all-in-one jailbreak tweaks, but all the competition lately is giving it a serious run for its money.
All-in-one tweaks are popular because they offer a plethora of benefits for one flat cost as opposed to downloading (and perhaps even purchasing) several one-off tweaks to accomplish the same outcome. Fortunately, a new release dubbed Lynx by iOS developer MTAC offers a wide selection of useful options, and we’d strongly recommend checking it out.
Upon installing Lynx, users will find a dedicated preference pane in the Settings app where they can configure Lynx to their liking:
The preference pane is divided into a multitude of subsections, which we’ll outline for you below:

The developer provides an Apply button at the top right of the primary preference pane so that users can save any changes they make to Lynx’s settings.
While some of these options appear in other recently released all-in-one jailbreak tweaks, we’re specifically excited about the ability to block ads and enable background playback in the YouTube app. Not many all-in-one jailbreak tweaks include these third-party app features, and they’re particularly useful ones at that.
If you’re ready to augment your pwned handset’s capabilities, then you can purchase Lynx from the Packix repository in any package manager of your choosing for the generous price of just $1.50. The tweak supports jailbroken iOS 13 devices and comes with our strong endorsement.
