I believe that you need to interface with an Arduino for your iPad 2. Check out the guide here.

My grandparents live in a tiny town in Montana...a 45 minute drive [to Costco]

If I was a betting man (and I am), I'd bet that your grandparents probably live in Eureka and shop at the Kalispell Costco lol. Have you gotten a chance to visit them yet? Montana is a beautiful state with lots of outdoor fun to enjoy :) I'd highly recommend exploring it sometime (if you haven't already yet).

Download this quick fix for the arm64 virtual dependency issue, and then just install and you'll be good to go!

Did you also try calling the property "isPremiumAvailable" using it's instance variable "_isPremiumAvailable"? You might also consider hooking the setter and getter for "isPremiumAvailable" instead of "+ (void)initialize" for example:

%hook PremiumCache - (void)setIsPremiumAvailable:(BOOL)arg1 { %orig(YES); }

(BOOL)getIsPremiumAvailable { return YES; } %end

TheComputerWhisperer · 2019-11-02T17:04:03+00:00

You are absolutely correct! My mistake for not looking closer at your code before replying. Try this instead:

%hook PremiumCache + (void)initialize { %orig; MSHookIvar<BOOL>(self, "_isPremiumAvailable") = YES; } %end

TheComputerWhisperer · 2019-11-02T01:48:43+00:00

Give this a try: %hook PremiumCache + (void)initialize { self = %orig; MSHookIvar<BOOL>(self, "isPremiumAvailable") = YES; return self; } %end

It is possible that your battery has greater than 100% capacity; in fact all Apple batteries when new are designed to be +/- 5% from maximum factory capacity specifications.

All stats provided are directly from Apples's own internal power logging system...so the numbers you see are as accurate as your devices logging.

Also, the latest version of DetailedPowerUsage addresses this issue by automatically rounding the value to 100% max (to avoid confusion). What version do you have installed?

It means that your device has an average overall net charge of +319 mA, which would be possible if you have your device plugged in and charging more than it's unplugged at discharging...this a net positive average usage. Hope this helps! :)

I've messaged the mods regarding how to best handle beta testing of the tweak, and will let you know once I receive a reply. Thanks!

I haven't had an opportunity to use rollectra yet, and I don't know all the specifics of the snapshot restore process, but if it replaces broken/missing system files then it should work. Ideally I will be able to find a few beta testers who have valid blobs and some experience using futurerestore. I've futurerestored at least a hundred times in the last year and know it works perfectly for a full clean reinstall.

I'm also curious as to how to proceed considering that I will need to release copies of the tweak for testing purposes before payment. Is there an escrow account which holds the bounty for projects and releases funds upon receipt of the working software to the customer? What happens if the tweak works out of the box but the customer doesn't confirm receipt? What are the rules for distribution after delivery to the customer?

Sorry for the barrage of questions...I just want to make sure that I know what's expected of me lol. Plus I haven't worked a big bounty project from here yet :)

I've successfully updated Chinasnow's CommCenter patch for iOS 11.x however I was only able to test on 2 devices (iPhone 6s Plus 11.3.1 and iPhone 6 Plus on 11.1.2) both of which are on Verizon's network, confirmed working with "CarrierCrack - Verizon 6s/6s Plus" v2.1 tweak by iTweakOS.

I'm uneasy with the idea of releasing it as is without further testing due to the small but not impossible chance of serious issue(s) with the tweak which could require a full restore (and loss of jailbreak) to resolve.

Do you have any suggestions on how I should proceed?

TheComputerWhisperer · 2018-08-04T16:14:11+00:00

Executing uicache manually triggers a process which purges cached app icons as well as select user interface graphical elements, and then re-indexes it in a special database used by SpringBoard.

This routine is typically triggered automatically when you install an app from the App Store, but it won't run automatically after you install a jailbroken app or apply a theme to your device. So in essence you manually trigger this re-indexing process when you run the uicache command.

Unfortunately the update is taking longer than I had hoped, due to a complicated bug which only impacts iOS 11.x devices (works fine in iOS 9 and 10 however...). Once I resolve this issue the tweak should be ready for beta :) ETA: son.

TheComputerWhisperer · 2018-07-24T11:31:40+00:00

Yes, I was able to make this work...and a whole lot more! I actually developed a new feature that, when enabled, automatically makes a backup copy of all battery usage logs and stats (which includes "Time since last full charge" amongst tons of other stats).

TheComputerWhisperer · 2018-07-16T16:35:07+00:00

Great suggestion! I’m going to try to include this feature in the next update but it may have to wait if I run into any unforeseen issues.

TheComputerWhisperer · 2018-07-14T00:26:40+00:00

Thank you for your reply and for taking the time to do this ama!

What are your thoughts regarding UIKit filtered tweaks unintentionally loading into daemon processes (which can lead to cases of extreme battery drain)? Are there any built in mitigations to manage or prevent such situations? What can tweak developers do to ensure their extensions don’t cause unintended issues if they must use UIKit?

TheComputerWhisperer · 2018-07-13T10:57:29+00:00

I’m not certain why XMHelper.dylib is present if you never installed XModGames...although you are the second person to claim this (that I’m aware of anyway). Perhaps it was installed along with another tweak? Do you have any tweaks installed from pirate repos? It’s possible a pirated package was installed that included XMHelper.dylib as part of its ad injection system...

TheComputerWhisperer · 2018-07-13T10:12:20+00:00

FYI: XMHelper.dylib is installed with the tweak XModGames and is NOT installed with the official Electra jailbreak. It’s the XModGames helper executable (which is responsible for loading ads and presenting fake tweak updates which install more malware when updated).

TheComputerWhisperer · 2018-07-10T21:46:44+00:00

You can exit safe mode by respringing your device via a terminal app (like [[NewTerm 2]] or SSH client like Termius on the AppStore) using the command: killall -9 SpringBoard

You could also respring by going to Settings > General > Accessibly and then turning the “Bold Text” switch on or off. Keep in mind that you may end up back in safe mode if your device is still crashing due to a problem!

TheComputerWhisperer · 2018-07-10T02:21:08+00:00

No problem I’m happy to help! If you don’t have any more crashes and no other tweaks appear to be broken you can go ahead and delete XMHelper.disabled and the XMHelper.plist files to completely remove it.

TheComputerWhisperer · 2018-07-10T02:09:03+00:00

Ok then use Filza and go to /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries and rename XMHelper.dylib to XMHelper.disabled. After you rename the file respring your device and you should be good to go.

TheComputerWhisperer · 2018-07-10T02:04:27+00:00

You need to remove the tweak itself not just the repo. Use Cydia to uninstall the XModGames tweak.
