Our favorite releases this week
AdvancedBrightnessSlider – FREE
I often use the Reduce White Point feature in iOS’ accessibility settings to drop my handset’s display brightness lower than the Control avenger display brightness slider is capable of. But using it can be cumbersome.
AdvancedBrightnessSlideris a free jailbreak tweak that integrates this highly useful feature directly into Control Center’s display brightness slider. As such, you can drag the slider below a certain brightness threshold to toggle the accessibility feature.
