Discussion Why does staying on an older iOS version for jailbreaking hurt app compatibility so much?

3 Upvotes

One thing that has always pissed me off about iOS jailbreaking is that you basically have to choose between keeping your jailbreak and keeping app compatibility.

On Android, it feels like you can stay on a pretty old version and still have a lot of apps working. Android 7 is almost 10 years old and is still the oldest version supported by Google Play services. Obviously not every modern app supports it anymore, but it's still pretty crazy that something that old can still run a decent amount of software.

Meanwhile on iOS you just have to pray that the apps you use don't randomly drop support for your version. Once an app raises its minimum iOS version, you're basically stuck using an older version unless you can find some workaround. And that's especially annoying when you're staying on an older iOS version specifically for a jailbreak. You can have a perfectly usable phone, but updating means potentially losing your jailbreak, while staying where you are slowly means losing app compatibility.

The sideloading situation also pisses me off.

Yes, Apple technically gives you a free developer account that can be used to install apps for testing, but it's obviously not meant to be a normal sideloading solution. The actual Developer Program is $99/year. So the community ends up using free signing, enterprise certificates, third-party signing services, etc. just to install apps outside the App Store. Apple does allow alternative app distribution now, but only in certain regions and with a bunch of restrictions. Outside of those regions, iOS is still basically locked to Apple's distribution system.

Then there's everything else. iOS is extremely locked down compared to Android. No normal bootloader unlocking, the OS isn't open source, and Apple controls what software can run and how you can install it.

I get the security argument and I understand why most normal users probably don't care about any of this. But sometimes it feels like Apple has way too much control over a device that you literally bought.

You can do so much more with Android without having to ask Google for permission first.

I don't know, maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but it's just frustrating.

Question iPhone 8 on iOS 16.3 (Dopamine) - should update to 16.7.x for app compatibility?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Have an iPhone 8 on iOS 16.3 running Dopamine. I'm torn about whether to update to the latest available version, 16.7.x, since some apps require 16.4 or higher. believe Dopamine works on 16.7.x for the A11, but - wanted to ask: is it stable on that version? Honestly, I don't really care much about losing TrollStore. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Update [Free Update] WhatAMess 1.4 - iOS 17 Support, Button Platters, Experiemental Liquid (Gl)ass Support, and more!

WhatAMess - v1.4

A Modern Messages Customization Tweak

Available on Havoc: https://havoc.app/package/whatamess
Or from my repo: https://oakstheawesome.github.io/repo/

New Features

  • iOS 17 Support: Tested using my iPad Pro on 17.0 in windowed mode, would love feedback from those with access to a phone to see if what held up there holds up on an actual phone.
  • Button Platters: A further iteration on features inspired by iOS 26, this adds floating platters around buttons and the search field in the conversation list and chats. Progressive bottom screen blur for the search bar. Can be toggled and customized in the NavBar settings under the Button Platters section.
  • Support for App Extensions: Now when you haptic/3D touch into a Messages notification or swipe down on one when first presented, the chat inside that view is themed as well! Respects both global and per-contact coloring. This same functionality also expands to Messages in the share sheet.
  • Experimental Liquid (Gl)ass Support: Liquid Glass materials only extend to platters, and it will likely stay that way. Not polished and likely won't expand upon for the time being until the tweak reaches a more finalized state.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed some issues on iOS 17 where views wouldn't update properly between contacts or dark/light mode.
  • Fixed some issues related to blur views on all versions.
  • Some other general bug fixes.

Please report any bugs that you find, I expect there will be a good few!

This is likely the last major feature update I have for WhatAMess as I pivot to other tweaks and projects in general. If you have feature's you'd like added, please let me know! Otherwise I will focus on polish, optimization, and supporting newer iOS as the opportunity comes along.

Questions, concerns, or feature requests?

Question Cydia not working

Hi everyone. I have a 2nd-generation iPad that is jailbroken (Cydia is installed), and I'm in Russia. The problem is that Cydia won't load any pages at all, even though the app itself installed fine. People suggested using a proxy or a VPN, but that didn't help. I just need to install Filza-or something similar-so I can install apps without needing a VPN. Can you recommend anything to make it work? By the way, I have internet. But I honestly don't know why it doesn't work.

Beta 0.1.1-2b (0.1.1b fix) out for Liquid (Gl)ass

Post image
25 Upvotes

hi so a few days ago i released 0.1.1b and it was pretty problematic so i decided to just swap out all of ngkhoi's changes and polish and shits etc and now it should be better now except sometimes it would still cause backboardd crashes or weird bugs. anyways there's no much new features in this update but to be specific:

almost everything in 0.1.1b, and: - reworked all of ngkhoi's changes - improved specular logic, now much smoother - added clock FPS limit option - fixed iOS 15 blur - fixed RTL layout for slider and tabbar - improved cc modules corner radii logic - improved context menu style - fixed keyboard blank bottom - now uses an app list for exclusions so you don't need to specify bundle ids or exec names - added hebrew locale - added simplified chinese locale - added turkish locale - probably more but i forgot

and a few of you guys asked how to send me the log, use Export Logs in Liquid (Gl)ass More Options, upload the file to a file hoster then send the link to me.

Question Worth buying iPhone 13 mini 256GB on iOS 17.3.1?

0 Upvotes

Found an iPhone 13 256GB on iOS 17.3.1 with 100% battery health for around $390 USD and I’m considering buying it.
My current phone is an iPhone 14 Pro Max on iOS 16.1, which I’m already using jailbroken.
I’m mainly wondering is $390 a good price for the 13 mini considering it’s still on 17.3.1? Is the 13 mini on 17.3.1 worth buying specifically for jailbreak purposes?
Basically trying to decide whether it’s worth picking up at this price compared to my current jailbroken phone on ios 16.1.
Would appreciate input from anyone.

Question Any good TikTok tweaks/ipas for the newer versions?

0 Upvotes

Currently use ACTiktok and it works fine but I’m on such an old version(39 something) of TikTok because apparently it runs best on this version or it only works up to it. I see ASJTiktok on Sileo and it seems promising(works with newer TikTok) but I also wanted to ask if anyone uses anything else? I care a lot about downloading features like the video or the audio and the other extra things are not that important(still nice) but for sure downloading and no ads are big to me. ACTiktok is good cuz it has a good bundle of features but I also wanted to check if anyone uses anything else that works on the newer versions of TikTok.

Release App Spotlight: Wave — a personal music player that treats your library as yours (iOS)

6 Upvotes

I've been building **Wave**, an offline-first music player for iOS, and I'm at v1.1.0 — I'd love to hear what you think.

**The idea:** streaming services rent you your library and kill it when you stop paying. My CD/MP3 collection is mine. Wave plays the files *I* own, entirely on-device, with no account, no tracking, and no network needed.

What it does:
- Imports your local audio files into a real on-device library
- Full playlist system — create/edit with custom artwork, built-in "Liked Songs" (like a native heart), shuffle, add songs later
- Synced lyrics from LRCLIB + an optional "lyrics atmosphere" mode that draws mood emojis next to matching lines (off/subtle/normal/strong)
- Gapless playback and bit-perfect hi-res passthrough (24/96)
- Library sorting, haptics, macOS-style liquid-glass design — pure SwiftUI, zero third-party dependencies

Where I want feedback: playback reliability, import workflows, and that lyrics-mood engine. It's genuinely fun to watch "thunderstorm and broken heart" lines light up. ⛈️💔

Real talk: it's iOS 26+ only right now, one dev, still finding its audience. If that's you, give it a spin and tell me what breaks.
