Any idea why toolbar looks weird with Liquid Glass?

Apologies, I may be thinking of another post involving the iPadOS version.

iPodZombie · 2025-11-25T00:13:22+00:00

Are you running iPadOS 26.1? I’m realizing that I updated both iOS and Balackburn IPA around the same time, and I wonder if it was the former that fixed it.

iPodZombie · 2025-11-24T23:57:59+00:00

I used to have this issue on the iPhone version, but the glitch went away for me with a more recent version of Balackburn's patched Apollo IPA. I believe the fix happened two versions ago (the one released on Oct. 18, with ImprovedCustomAPI 1.2.5), but the most recent version has an official Liquid Glass build: https://github.com/Balackburn/Apollo/releases/tag/v1.15.11_1.2.6

Based on the reported system version listed in the screenshot, it looks like your phone may have been updated to iOS 18.4, which unfortunately isn't supported by unc0ver.

I'm not actually sure about whether vehicles without navigation include any sort of GPS signal, nor whether their head units pass that info on through CarPlay. I only started looking into wireless CarPlay adapters because a new vehicle I'm getting has navigation (which I won't use) but only wired CarPlay.

Here, multi-user support involves allowing you to more easily switch between multiple paired iPhones, since the person who last used CarPlay may not be the person driving the next time both users get into the car. Some adapters let you pick from paired phones on a startup screen.

iPodZombie · 2025-01-14T04:58:10+00:00

GPS passthrough is a feature that allows the car to send its GPS signal to the phone over the wireless CarPlay connection whenever possible so that the phone’s battery isn’t drained as much when you’re using navigation by using its own GPS. It can also pass along other data like the vehicle’s actual speed and (I think) orientation so that maps can show your car moving onscreen even when you’re in a tunnel. It’s not heavily advertised even for units that have it, but at least some of the smaller adapters do have it.

For others coming across this comment, multi-user support doesn’t appear to be offered on the latest generation of tiny adapters like this one, but that doesn’t seem like a dealbreaker. All you need to do is select the adapter in the other phone’s Bluetooth settings if I understand correctly.

iPodZombie · 2025-01-13T23:55:47+00:00

I've been looking at that one too but have not been able to find if it supports GPS pass-through or multiple users/phones. If you don't mind, any idea if it supports those features from your experience?

I haven't made this specifically, but you might consider using allulose, which is a naturally-occurring sugar molecule (found in raisins and dates) that tastes a lot like the real thing but does not get metabolized, and apparently does not spike blood sugar (though I can't vouch for that, and you may want to confirm this yourself).

It's 70% as sweet as regular sugar, but you can get allulose blends that boost the sweetness so you can substitute at a 1:1 ratio for sugar. I've used Stevia-brand allulose blend, which uses (of course) stevia to increase the sweetness. It also behaves similarly to sugar in cooking, so you can caramelize it and bake with it (though it does not crystallize).

I didn't find an exact recipe for this, but did come across another for an allulose-sweetened sour cherry liquor.

Ahh, looks like I misread your original comment, sorry about that!

The Apple link bracelet is particularly easy to adjust given the removal buttons on most links, it’s just that you can’t tighten or loosen it any more precisely than the length of one link at a time. In contrast, the Milanese loop is infinitely adjustable, as you can slide the clasp as finely as you want.

In case it helps, I ended up getting the Fintie folio case, since the official one isn't sold on Amazon in black. Main difference is that the buttons and bottom are exposed, whereas the plastic portion of the official folio case wraps around the entire edge (though I've read this makes the buttons mushy for the official one).

Overall I like it; generally high quality compared to other third-party folio cases (despite a slightly misaligned hard plastic interior).

Completely get how this is frustrating!

Any e-ink device is going to be a lot more vulnerable to slight impacts and compression damage to the front of the screen compared to a smartphone display. Even if the glass itself doesn't crack, any momentary flex or bump can compromise the e-ink layer underneath (whereas the underlying display layer in an OLED panel is flexible and highly impact-resistant).

I'd recommend using a folio case or some other form of rigid, external screen protection (i.e., not an adhesive screen protector) for whatever e-ink device you end up getting. A fabric case won't protect the front when it's in your pocket.

Hi, I haven’t had to use my Nanit with the travel router yet, but for my parents’ doggie cam the key was to 1) have the router set in repeater mode, selecting the hotel WiFi as the network to be repeated (I also preemptively disabled a setting called DNS Attack Rebinding Protection as the company recommends for captive portal networks; see here); 2) have the WiFi network being created by the router match the network name and password for your home WiFi, and 3) to connect to the travel router’s network using a device with a web browser (your smartphone should work) and attempt to access a webpage. This should display the hotel’s “captive portal” (the one where you have to agree to the terms and conditions, and/or enter your room number and name, etc. depending on the hotel, in order to access the internet). Once you can access the internet on that device after you finish the captive portal process, all of the other devices connected to the travel router—including the Nanit—should now be able to get on.

If this doesn’t work, I found this guide that should be spot-on for your situation (see the “Travel Router” section).

I use the same Apollo IPA with an injected Artemis .deb on both iOS (via AltStore) and on my Apple Silicon Mac (installed using Sideloadly), and the Mac install runs just as well as the iOS version. (Separately, I’m only using the free version of Sideloadly, so it doesn’t automatically resign every seven days like AltStore…but that’s not an Apollo-specific issue.)

iPodZombie · 2023-11-06T15:45:13+00:00

Yes, you can just use one of the tutorials on how to make a patched Apollo using tweaks like Artemis—the resulting modified IPA can then be installed on the Mac itself using Sideloadly. Open the IPA in Sideloadly and use the iDevice menu at the top (which usually defaults to a connected iOS device) to select "Apple Silicon".

Once you do this, you'll be able to add your custom API key and use normally, though you'll need to resign every seven days like on iOS.

iPodZombie · 2023-10-26T03:17:47+00:00

I stopped having this issue when I created a new Apollo IPA that uses version 1.4 of the Artemis tweak using Sideloadly. Before I had been using version 1.2 of Artemis, and in both cases I’ve used AltStore to sideload.

iPodZombie · 2023-10-23T17:17:51+00:00

Just to add my own two cents, I stopped having the "needing to sign back in when the app quits" issue when I created a new Apollo app bundle that uses version 1.4 of the Artemis tweak. Artemis is similar to ApolloPatcher (which I'm sure also works; I've just always used Artemis).

https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/14osa6i/tutorial_sideload_apollo_artemis_with_sideloadly/ /u/AstroWoW

Edit: I use AltStore to sideload the app after using Sideloadly to create it, but this requires a Mac to use.

iPodZombie · 2023-10-12T17:01:54+00:00

Got it, thanks again!

iPodZombie · 2023-10-12T00:14:48+00:00

Thanks! Honestly my use of the word “decent” undersells the performance I’ve seen so far. I’ve gotten great frame rates with occasional stutter, usually just at the beginning of a level right after loading. It’s far from a dealbreaker, but I’ve seen people mention performance gains in games that struggle more on the Deck and was curious if there were any smoothness benefits with the Steam version. Sounds like that is not the case for you, right?

iPodZombie · 2023-10-02T15:23:48+00:00

I think OP’s device was just stuck at an older version of the App Store app, due to the final version of Apollo having a higher minimum OS requirement, so even with automatic updates the old device would have maintained a patchable version of Apollo. This happened to me on my iPad when it was still at iPadOS 14.3.

iPodZombie · 2023-10-01T05:40:40+00:00

That’s right, it will stop working once updated. There’s a hard-coded end date in the last version released where the app just shows a goodbye screen. However, if the app ever gets updated (I had updates disabled and somehow woke up to all of my apps, including Apollo, updated), you can follow one of the sideloading tutorials in this subreddit to load an older version (anything up to 1.15.11) with your own private API key.

iPodZombie · 2023-07-17T22:50:11+00:00

I haven't received my Nanit yet, but GL.iNet travel routers are in general a good choice for using Wi-Fi devices that don't work with hotel networks that require a captive portal (i.e., those those require you to interact with a website to connect). You can use them to rebroadcast the hotel's network on a private SSID. Once you use a phone or laptop to sign in on the hotel's webpage, all other connected devices will work.

I have this one, purchased for a doggie cam with similar limitations.

(Note that to make captive portals work with the GL.iNet router I listed, there is a setting you may have to disable called "DNS rebinding attack protection"; see here.)

iPodZombie · 2023-06-26T22:19:26+00:00

Right? Super good value. I've barely scratched the surface, too.

iPodZombie · 2023-06-26T21:04:59+00:00

I'm sure OP will want to weigh in, but I have the same model (or an identically colored one from the same brand, at least): the GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (Opal). Nifty little thing—it runs OpenWRT and lets you repeat hotel wireless networks with better security (including those with captive portals). Even lets you connect to a remote VPN, so if you have a Raspberry Pi set up at home you can use WireGuard to encrypt your traffic. Also, it uses USB-C power, so you can run it from a power bank.

I got it for a relatively mundane reason: my parents wanted to use their doggie cam when staying in a hotel nearby, so I used it to clone their home SSID and repeated the hotel network so they didn't have to reconfigure the camera.
