Pangu's jailbreak team launched the corresponding jailbreak tool immediately after Apple officially launched iOS 8.1. However, there was no appropriate version of Cydia at that time, so users could not use the rich plug-in resources normally. After Cydia developer Saurik updated Cydia for iOS 8, Pangu also updated the perfect jailbreak tool for iOS 8.

The process of jailbreak is the same as Pangu's previous jailbreak tools. Connect the iOS device to the PC, open the jailbreak tool, and click Start jailbreak to start the jailbreak process.

Wait a moment to complete the escape.

After completion, we can see Pangu's jailbreak application and the newly added Cydia 1.1.15 for iOS 8 in the program list, while the PP assistant is selected by itself when the jailbreak tool is installed.

The latest version of Pangu jailbreak tool before the deadline is 0.3, which has solved the problem of excessive power consumption of 32-bit devices.

When you enter Cydia, you still have the familiar formula and taste, but there is a large red warning. These are some tips about the jailbreak of iOS 8 and the new version of Cydia.

The process of installing plug-ins is the same as before.

Here we use an iPad Air 2 for prison break experience. Several commonly used plug-ins, such as Activator, Barrel, CCSetting and Apple File Conduit 2, have been installed. These plug-ins have also updated the available versions of iOS 8. Let's take a look at their actual use.

After the plug-in is installed normally, we can see some corresponding options of the plug-in in the system setting menu. The above are some options of CCSettings.

It allows us to customize the order of shortcut switches of the pull-up bar. The system comes with only five shortcut switches and cannot be customized, especially for mobile phones, which is far from enough. With CCSettings, we added a quick switch to restart and shut down the iPad Air 2.

After installing CCSettings, there are no more than five shortcut switches. You can also use other shortcut switches by swiping to the left. This operation experience is similar to that of Android.

Barrel is an application that adjusts the page turning effect of iOS icons. It supports multiple page turning effects and random switching. Compared with the monotonous left and right page turning of iOS, Barrel's effect is much cooler.

Activator is also a famous jailbreak plug-in, which can enable iOS devices to have rich gesture functions.

For example, multiple gesture functions can be realized through multi finger clicking, closing and opening, which can effectively improve the operation efficiency with the large screen of iPad.

Apple File Conduit 2 is a plug-in that allows you to access the system directory after connecting to a PC.

After installing this plug-in, we can access the system directory of the iOS system by using some synchronization software on the PC side. Of course, the files here cannot be changed randomly, which may lead to system crash.

Virtual Home is a plug-in for iOS devices with Touch ID. After installing it, you can press the Home key by tapping fingerprint recognition, which extends the life of the Home key to a certain extent.

Virtual Home can set corresponding functions for long press and double click of Touch ID. For example, we can lock the screen by long press of Touch ID. It is very convenient.

So far, our iOS 8 devices have been completely liberated, and they will be more convenient to use in combination with rich plug-in resources.
