A recent tweak for Jailbreak called «Force Touch Activatedr »has been launched in the BigBoss repository of the Cydia store and will allow us to enjoy 3D Touch on any device that is compatible with iOS 8. Actually, it is not a typical 3D Touch, but rather a kind of simulation based in software, which from what we have been able to appreciate works quite well, saving the differences of course, and taking into account that we will not receive the haptic response since the versions lower than the iPhone 6s do not have this hardware inside, but without a doubt, for those who have Jailbreak it can be a very interesting option.
It is a creative method that these developers have used to bring 3D Touch to all iOS 8 compatible devicesTaking into account above all that there is no difference between pressure levels, that we do not obtain haptic response and that our screen is not sensitive to pressure. Which does not detract from the tweak, but increases it exponentially, taking into account the level of confrontation.
Once the Tweak is installed, we must open the application that is installed and predetermine a gesture in Activator, to be able to invoke the tweak from anywhere on the screen. Once activated, the tweak will take advantage of the change in touch radius by pressing the screen harder to determine whether or not the pressure has been increased, a fairly competent imitation of the 3D Touch.
For now the tweak it shows quite limited to few options, which we assume will grow with development and updates. In fact, simply holding the touch for a long time often does the same thing, without having to squeeze effusively. Despite its limitations it is interesting to know how far it will go, for example today Shazam was updated adding support for 3D Touch and we hope it works with it.
Tweak features

3D touch. impossible, it will be a kind of long press, eliminating the possibility of moving the icons for example or other long press functionality
does not appear in cydia
this in the repo of bigboss look at it comes out with the name all together ForceTouchActivator
Search without spaces, ForceTouchActivator.
Well, it works very well, it seems like magic, but it detects when you put your finger on the screen and then "press". As the article says, it will be because the contact surface of the finger increases. It's a feature that I don't think anyone has used before and it can be very useful.
Oh yeah !!! It was without spaces ... thanks to try to see how it is!
Is it so hard to try it before speaking? It works perfectly. and it really is not necessary to trace the screen so I hope there is no brute tracing and assemble it. Of course, now we have to give it some utility I have it in place to invoke multitasking, but it would be good to interact with the icons etc, everything will come. It is added directly as an option in Activator, so whatever you can think of.
Could someone tell me how to configure it. I downloaded it and it was installed together with Activator, but I don't know how to use Activator much. Could someone tell me what to do to make it work? Thanks
That's like if you use Activator, same thing. The only thing "new" about that tweak is the name.
How do I configure it, I don't know how to use activator
No application appears, and neither in settings, what do I do?
There is no app without jalibreack that imitates 3D touch
