ClassicFolders 3
ClassicFolders 3 was a popular paid jailbreak tweak released by CoolStar that brought the iOS 6 folders look with a modern twist to iOS 13.0 - 14.8.1. After the tweak became open source, Lizynz modified it for recent jailbreaks (iOS 15 and newer) and released the compiled package on his GitHub. This is a test version and not all features are working.

ClassicFolders 3 was released as a paid package that can be purchased from the Havoc Store. The official version of this great tweak is compatible with iOS 13 and iOS 14. Recently, CoolStar released the source code on GitHub, leading to a free tweak update by Lizynz with rootless jailbreak support.

ClassicFolders 3 is the latest release of a tweak that brings iOS 6 folders design to modern jailbreaks running iOS 13 and beyond.

The rootless version was released as DEB and must be installed manually.
After the installation is completed, ClassicFolders 3 brings a new preference pane to the Settings app from where you can configure all options. From here you can toggle the tweak on or off on demand, select a a preferred folder aesthetic, or adjust animation speed via a slider.

ClassicFolders 3 was released as an open-source project under the BSD-4 license on the CoolStart GitHub repository. This version supports only rootful jailbreaks for iOS 13.0 – 14.8.1. There are already some forks that updated the tweak to make it work on Dopamine and Palera1n. CoolStart is no longer a part of the jailbreak community, working at Apple.
