How to install and use RootHide Patcher

RootHide Patcher is an iOS application that allows users to convert rootless tweaks into arm64e format compatible with the RootHide Bootstrap. The best way to convert tweaks is to contact the developer of a package and ask him to update it for RootHide Bootstrap. However, you can also try to convert it via RootHide Patcher. This application patches rootless packages to RootHide, but it will not work with all packages.

It's worth mentioning that RootHide Patcher is based on Derootifier, a tool created by haxi0. Derootifier was designed to "derootify" jailbreak .deb files, making them compatible with rootless jailbreaks. It achieves this by using the Procursus rootless converter. Both projects are open-sourced.

RootHideDev has integrated the RootHide Patcher app with the Sileo package manager. Now, if you try to install an incompatible package through Sileo, it will prompt you to install RootHide Patcher. After that, whenever you install a package, Sileo will almost automatically offer an option to convert it using the RootHide Patcher app.

RootHide Patcher can auto convert some rootless packages to roothide. For tweaks that rely heavily on the fixed path of / var/jb, we launched the Dynamic Patch Framework, so that almost all rootful or rootless tweaks will be able to run on roothide.

The Patcher app is a separate package from RootHide, available in the RootHide Repository. If your device has installed RootHide Bootstrap or is jailbroken with the RootHide version of the Dopamine jailbreak, you can find it by opening Sileo or Zebra, and then refreshing your sources.

RootHide Patcher was released under the GPL-3 license. The source code of the app is available via GitHub. The latest version of RootHide Patcher is 1.6 and it offers the option to share converted deb to Sileo/Zebra.
