If you’re in possession of a jailbroken iPhone and you also have a pair of AirPods that are securely encased in one ofNomad’s luxury Horween leather cases, then this is your lucky week!
iOS developersirhamsalothas just released a fun and quirky newjailbreak tweakcalledNomadPodsthat replaces the standard AirPods case icon in the AirPods Bluetooth HUD and in the Battery widget with something that more closely depicts Nomad’s Horween leather AirPods case instead.
In the screenshot examples above, you’ll find that the developer has done an outstanding job of porting these graphics to the native iOS interface. In fact, they almost look like they belong there.
As some of myrecent favorite accessory posts denote, I’m a particularly big fan of Nomad-branded accessories for my Apple gear, and my beloved AirPods are no exception. That said, when I saw the announcement for this tweakon /r/jailbreak this week, I knew it was something I just had to have.
At the time of this writing, NomadPods only displays a brown Nomad Horween leatherAirPodscase and there’s no way to change the color if you’re using something other than brown. Fortunately, the developer says that an upcoming update will change that.
The target audience for such a tweak is obviously somewhat small, but since the tweak isn’t available on any of the most significant Cydia repositories, we wanted to give it some attention for those who might be using any of Nomad’s AirPods cases.
If you’re interested in trying NomadPods for yourself, then you candownload it for free fromsirhamsalot’sbeta repository in Cydia. If you’re not already using this repository, then you’ll need to add it to Cydia using the following steps:
