We feel like we’re beating a dead horse every time we say that the iPhone’s native volume HUD sucks, so we’ll just skim past that line and get right to the point of why you clicked on this post. Say hello to a newjailbreak tweakcalledSonus12, a drop-dead gorgeous volume HUD replacement for iPhones and iPads by iOS developerubik.
Sonus12 is minimalistic by design, which prevents it from obstructing your view when you adjust your handset’s volume level. By default, it appears at the top of the display, and it’s very compact.
