Best RootHide Bootstrap Tweaks
Bootstrap lets you add fun enhancements to devices running iOS 15 throught iOS 17.0, even if they aren't fully jailbroken. This opens up fantastic new features for both stock and third-party applications thanks to tweaks. With jailbreak tweaks, you can personalize the Settings app's appearance, add new options on the bottom of the keyboard, enable Flex, install Filza file manager, use command line tools, and so much more.
There are many tweaks compatible with RootHide Bootstrap, but the most fun and visually appealing ones require access to the SpringBoard, which Bootstrap doesn't support by default due to its design. However, it's possible to enable tweak injection into SpringBoard on RootHide Bootstrap running iOS 16.
I’ll share some tweaks that work right out of the box with RootHide Bootstrap on iOS 15 – iOS 17, so you can see how the environment works and what’s possible. However, the best tweaks require SpringBoard, and I’ll share those as well. Please note that running tweaks on iOS 17.0 in SpringBoard is currently not possible.
All tweaks can be converted using RootHide Patcher. I created a full guide on how to use RootHide Patcher and convert rootless or rootful jailbreak tweaks to arm64e format and run it on the RootHide Bootstrap.
