In early 2019, we introduced a tweak called JumpSkip that allowed jailbroken users to skip songs using only the iPhone’s volume buttons, instead of touch controls. In other words, there’s no need to turn on the screen or take your iPhone out of your pocket.
Well, five years later, he was reborn as JumSkipReborn.
JumpSkip: a very practical tweak
JumpSkip allowed your device to recognize two different gestures: press the volume down button and then the volume up button to skip to the next track in a playlist, or press the volume up button and then the volume down button to skip to the previous track.
This tweak was very popular at the time, but it was never updated to support jailbreaks. rootless in recent years. Worse, it used private iOS APIs that have been removed since version 13.0. That’s why developer MrMcGamer felt it was time to recreate it.
So here is JumpSkipReborn, a rewrite of the popular JumpSkip tweak, but with support for the latest non-root jailbreaks and the incorporation of new gestures. JumpSkipReborn allows users to do the following:
-
- Volume up + Volume down = play/pause
-
- Volume down then Volume up = Next track
-
- Volume up then Volume down = Previous track
-
- Volume down -> Volume up (hold) = Fast forward
-
- Volume up then Volume down (hold) = go back
As you can see, the JumpSkipReborn tweak is not a copy, but an improved version of the original. Once installed, nothing to configure, you can use the five aforementioned gestures to control media playback.
Those who want to try JumpSkipReborn can download it for free from the Project GitHub page. It can then be installed on a jailbroken device via a package manager app such as Sileo or Zebra. It requires a device running iOS 15 or iOS 16, running Dopamine or palera1n.
