Tweak Full Description
A modern crash reporter for iOS
Rootless jailbreaks (XinaA15) are not currently supported
Cr4shed is a useful crash reporting package designed to help developers identify and fix crashes that have been reported to them by their users, and to help users identify the culprits of crashes. It generates a crash log in `/var/mobile/Library/Cr4shed` (accessible from the Cr4shed application) including information such as the process that crashed, the exact reason for the crash, the dylib that caused the crash and the entire call stack when the crash occurred.
This is extremely useful if someone reports a crash to you and you can't work out what the issue is purely from the system/CrashReporter crash log. (Is also extremely useful for identifying causes of crashes in development). This report should be everything you need to work out exactly why the crash occurred.
Cr4shed is now at the stage where it should be able to function as a full replacement for CrashReporter, but I cannot (yet) recommend uninstalling CrashReporter.
Please report any issues you have with it here.
The source code is also available here.

What are iOS Tweaks?
iOS tweaks are modifications that enhance the functionality of iPhones and iPads beyond what Apple officially allows. These small software packages can only be installed on jailbroken devices, where the restrictions imposed by Apple have been bypassed, giving users more control over their iOS experience.
What are iOS jailbreak tweaks used for?
Jailbreak tweaks serve numerous purposes, ranging from cosmetic changes to powerful functionality enhancements:
- Customization: Tweaks allow users to personalize their iOS experience by changing app icons, modifying the control center, creating custom themes, and adjusting system animations.
- Enhanced Functionality: Many tweaks add features Apple doesn't provide, such as file management capabilities, advanced screenshot tools, call recording, and system-wide gesture controls.
- App Modifications: Tweaks can enhance existing apps with new features or remove limitations. For example, tweaks might enable downloading content from streaming apps, remove ads from applications, or add additional tools to messaging platforms.
- System Optimization: Some tweaks focus on improving device performance, battery life, or adding more efficient ways to manage background processes.
- Privacy and Security: While jailbreaking itself has security implications, certain tweaks actually enhance privacy by allowing more granular control over app permissions, network monitoring, and data access.
Where to find iOS tweaks?
Jailbreak tweaks are typically distributed through alternative app stores like Cydia, Sileo, or Zebra. These repositories host thousands of tweaks created by independent developers, ranging from free offerings to premium packages.
Important considerations
Before diving into the world of jailbreak tweaks, users should be aware of several important factors:
- Warranty implications: Jailbreaking voids Apple's warranty, though restoring a device to its factory state typically reverses this.
- Security risks: Jailbreaking removes Apple's security sandboxing, potentially exposing your device to malware if tweaks are downloaded from untrusted sources.
- Stability issues: Poorly developed tweaks or conflicts between multiple tweaks can cause system instability, app crashes, or battery drain.
- Update challenges: When Apple releases new iOS versions, users must wait for compatible jailbreak tools before updating, often leaving them without security patches.
The evolving landscape
The world of iOS jailbreaking has evolved significantly over the years. As Apple has added features that were once only available through tweaks (like widgets, dark mode, and app library), the gap between stock iOS and jailbroken devices has narrowed. Nevertheless, the jailbreak community continues to push boundaries, creating innovative modifications that demonstrate what iOS could potentially offer in future official updates.
For users who value customization and control over their devices, jailbreak tweaks remain an appealing, if somewhat risky, way to transform their iOS experience beyond Apple's walled garden.
