    [Free Release] NeonBoard, reborn - a new lightweight theming engine for iOS 7 - 14! (+ a bit of info regarding the "NeonBoard is unsafe and will mess up your device" rant on the Discord from a while ago)

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 10:07 AM PST

    This took.... very long.

    But it's finally here.

    Hey /r/jailbreak, I'm very proud to say that NeonBoard, the theming engine I have been teasing for years, is finally here. It took almost a year of development to get everything working, and I'm very happy with what I got in the end.

    Who? What? Where?

    So, what is NeonBoard? Some of you might have heard of NeonBoard Lite a while ago when I released it - well, this is the full version of the tweak! Apart from the very basic feature - icon theming - this version includes:

    • Icon masks (Read below for info about icon masks on iOS 14. They work, but with a catch....)

    • Icon effects (shadows, overlays and underlays)

    • UI theming (CC icons, app UI, StatusBar, etc.)

    • Settings icons (with some advanced features!)

    • SpringBoard effects (icon labels, page dots, folders, badges, etc.)

    • Fonts

    • ....and much more!

    Ok, aight. But why?

    Yeah, why, you may ask? Why yet another theming engine? Well, here's why:

    • Lightweight: NeonBoard is built with performance and battery life in mind - a lot of things are done in a way different from how other theming engines do it, and overall it seems more efficient (and we've tested on different devices, jailbreaks and versions).

    • Supports a large span of iOS versions: as far as I know, most SnowBoard extensions are iOS 9+ (or even iOS 11+); Anemone 3 doesn't suppport older iOS versions either. NeonBoard does, for all of its features.

    • Attention to detail: for example, the clock icon is not only themed for the live icon, but also for the one you see in app switcher, screen time, folder icons, etc. NeonBoard renders the clock arrows and caches this icon, unlike other theming engines, that just use the background circle image as the icon. You can also mask Settings icons with NeonBoard, for example. There are some small UI customization options in the settings, like hiding icon labels, hiding dock background, etc. to make you feel even more comfortable with your homescreen.

    • Completely free and open-source: the source code for the whole project is available on my GitHub (link at the end of the post)

    Switching to NeonBoard

    NeonBoard aims to support everything that SnowBoard, Anemone, iThemer and other theming engines do, so for most people switching to NeonBoard won't be an issue. Just install NeonBoard through your favorite package manager, mess with the settings a bit - and you're set!

    However, some features of other theming engines are not available in NeonBoard as of right now. Here are some of them:

    • UISounds theming

    • Homescreen presets

    • Switching themes without a respring

    There are also things that I don't plan on adding at all, such as respring logos.

    If none of these are important to you, you can consider it a safe and painless switch.

    Setting up NeonBoard

    If you are planning to do the switch, I want you to note a couple of things about setting up NeonBoard to prevent potential issues:

    • Glyph mode: if you're using a glyph theme, enable this toggle (otherwise icons will have a black background).

    • Custom dock y: if your custom dock is too low (too high?), just drag the slider in the preference bundle. Sadly I couldn't find any documentation on how SnowBoard or Anemone position their custom docks, so I made this to prevent themes being potentially unusable.

    • Mask rendered icons: the deal with icon masks on iOS 14 is - they're broken. But not completely! In fact, they work, but aren't implemented in the best way at the moment. It seems to be an issue in both Substrate and Substitude/libhooker where tweaks don't inject into some processes (such as IconServicesAgent), which is crucial for tweaks like NeonBoard. So right now, there's two options: your mask will only be applied to the homescreen, or you could enable "Mask rendered icons" and "Glyph mode" and the mask will be applied everywhere.

    • If you are experiencing crashes when opening the preference bundle, or safe mode on the SpringBoard, use Filza to delete /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.artikus.neonboardprefs.plist. This could be because you have installed an old version of NeonBoard in the past and it's settings are conflicting with the new tweak.

    Regarding the "NeonBoard is unsafe / modifies the filesystem / will mess up your device" claims that have been made on the /r/jailbreak Discord server

    Mid-summer, a group of people have said these things about NeonBoard Lite on the Discord server. This made NeonBoard look very bad and suspicious; many people have messaged me asking if this is true back then. So, it is not.

    • **Claim #1: NeonBoard modifies system files

    This claim was based off a misinterpretation of my original NeonBoard Lite release post. Quote:

    ...I discovered a completely new theming method, which didn't involve replacing images, but instead just changed paths to the images

    For some reason, they thought that I modified the filesystem to do this. Of course, I didn't. Everything NeonBoard modifies is done through hooking not filesystem modifications, and thus is indeed safe to use. (you can check this yourself if you know Objective-C on a basic level; in fact, the source code for NeonBoard Lite was available since day 1, but they didn't bother checking it to see if their claims were true, which they weren't :/)

    • Claim #2: NeonBoard will mess up your device

    This claim was based off an indeed suspicious paragraph from my original NeonBoard release post:

    And by the way, DO NOT try to use it with glyph themes. Nothing may happen, but sometimes weird caching issues appear, icons start turning blank even after disabling the tweak, etc... So yeah. Do not.

    This was the most fair and objective claim they did, however, it is also not true. First of all, the bug which caused icons to stay blank/glitched even after a reboot was fixed in the very first update I did the morning right after release. Second, as I found out later, the bug with icons being blank didn't even exist at the moment of releasing! It was because of my code being wrong in some early development stages, and the code that was faulty didn't even make it into the final release. However, the people who said this on the Discord couldn't have know this, so this claim is still kind of fair, though not at all true.

    • Claim #3: NeonBoard hooks layoutSubviews, which is very bad for performance

    Muirey03 (you might know him from the tweak Cr4shed), a very experienced and trusted developer in the community, has once pointed out that NeonBoard hooked layoutSubviews for icon masks. But, at the time of this whole thing happening on Discord, this claim was.... Almost three years old. Yeah, that's right. Only the very first version of NeonBoard, released way back in 2018 hooked layoutSubviews. Since then, NeonBoard has been rewritten from the ground up three times. Again, folks should've checked the source code before calling me out :/

    (On a side note, hooking layoutSubviews is not always a bad thing; it is generally bad practice, but sometimes it is perfectly fine. It is usually a method that gets called very often and very much by the system, but sometimes it only gets called a few times, for example, upon load or update of a view. In such cases, it's perfectly fine to hook it).

    • Claim #4: the developer of NeonBoard (aka me) doesn't care about bugs

    Quote from one of my NeonBoard update posts:

    please dont find bugs i wont be able to fix them soon now to the actual post

    I might've not made it obvious, but this was a joke; It was also kind of referring to the fact that I went to sleep shortly after deploying the update, which meant I'd be able to start working on fixing the bugs after at least about 10 hours from the original release. And there were no bug on this update anyway from what I remember /shrug/.

    In general, they just took what I said in various places out of context and used it to make me and my tweak look bad. Some people fell for it, and I don't blame them. But to those who did this: please check your facts before calling me out :/

    Okay, cool, where do I get this thingy?

    Credits & appreciations

    I'd like to say a huge thanks to a lot of people who, directly or indirectly, have helped me in the development process a lot. Here they are:

    • @DODGraphics, developer of iThemer - he helped me with UI theming and a bunch of other small things, and we developed the new theming method used in NeonBoard together. I'm very thankful to him.

    • @pixelomer - he pointed me in the right direction to hook IconServices.framework. Without him, I would've probably abandoned the project (or may have taken much longer to get it to a usable state). Thank you!

    • @CStar_OW (CoolStar) - a lot of code from the open-source part of Anemone has been reutilized and adapted for NeonBoard. Without this, the development process would have taken much longer. Thank you!

    • @JannikCrack - for gifting me his themes Fenix and PhoenixOS. Most testing for NeonBoard's SpringBoard effects (dock, folders, etc.) has been done using these themes. Thank you!

    • @Litteeen, @MrGcGamer - for testing and helping me fix many, many bugs :P. Thank you!

    ....well, that's it, I guess? Enjoy the tweak! And be sure to drop me a follow on Twitter if you like it :p

    [HELP] Odyssey Jailbreak 1.2.2 Unreliable.

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 09:21 PM PST

    Odyssey 1.2.2. Unreliable on Iphone 7, 13.5.1

    Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issues:

    -iPhone 7, with iOS 13.5.1.

    -Odyssey takes several tries to jailbreak my device.

    -After the jailbreak completes, if I lay the phone down, and it locks, a few minutes later it reboots and the jailbreak is lost. Sometimes the screen is black for several minutes before the reboot happens.

    -Occasionally the jailbreak will remain stable until the phone is reset/turned off, but this is rare.

    -Jailbreaking in airplane mode doesn't seem to make much difference in success.

    -I also went into settings an "Erase all content and settings to try and get a clean install of iOS 13.5.1

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to get Odyssey working more reliably?? Maybe downgrade to a previous version of Odyssey??

    Posted: 06 Jan 2021 05:42 PM PST

    [Solved]Hi im running ios 13.5 jailbroken with unc0ver. I ran to problem that if i try to refresh icon cache, it stucks on bootloop. And i have to refresh icon cache cuz i can't find my tweaks. Then i thought i could restore rootfs but i want to backup my tweaks, cuz they are still installed on this device. Well. I took backup with CyBackup(i think it's the only one working that creates backup on ios 13) but i do not know how to export it and tha's why i haven't restored yet. Also if there is another tweak that saves all tweaks and sources on a list, or by exporting downloads all back, please tell me on comments:) thanks!

    I have recently bought an iPhone 12 and luckily I got it on 14.1. I'm patiently waiting for a jailbreak but I have a known problem with wireless charging that was resolved in iOS 14.2 or 14.3 I think. When the jb comes out is it possible to create a tweak that ports the patch to the 14.1?
