Mugunghwa IPA: Download and Install on iOS Without Jailbreak
TrollStore can not only install permanent IPA files, but also allow them to access some hidden iOS features. The latest release of Mugunghwa IPA, among other things, allows you to theme the default iOS 15 passcode on a regular device with transparent images. No jailbreaking is required!
How to Download Mugunghwa IPA Safely
Mugunghwa 3.0.2 (Latest Version) was released as an IPA file that can be imported into TrollStore. Sideloading with regular IPA Installer Apps will not work! Alternatively, use Direct Install to download the app automatically from TrollStore. This feature requires you to enable the URL Scheme from TrollStore Settings.
What is Mugunghwa IPA? (Rose of Korea Explained)
Mugunghwa is a small (3 MB) app that brings some tweaks to your iPhone without the need to jailbreak your device. It can be installed on all devices supported by TrollStore running between iOS 15.0 and iOS 15.5 beta 4. No other firmware releases will be supported in the future.
Once installed, the Mugunghwa app will be available from the Home Screen. When you open the app it allows you to access quick actions such as checking for app updates and the respring button used very often on jailbroken devices to activate installed tweaks or apps.
From Mugunghwa's Utilities screen, you can enable all available tweak features. There is an option to change the badge color, and enable home gestures that will manipulate the device's layout to the one known from iPhone XS (you may experience some UI glitches).
Mugunghwa IPA Features and Benefits
Soongyu Kwon, the developer behind Mugunghwa, is still maintaining the project, and as a result of that, you can use the app to change the look of the passcode by replacing the numbers with your own images. There is of course, an option to quickly reverse all applied changes.
When you decide to change the colors of the badges displayed on the Home Screen next to app icons, Mugunghwa offers an excellent color picker. There is an option to select a color from a grid, or spectrum, provide a HEX value, or use RGB values and sliders.
A future release of Mugunghwa should add an option to change the carrier name on iOS from a jailed device, at least that's what the developer is aiming for. If you're looking for this feature now, there's an option to do it manually by changing the carrier name on iOS 15 with Filza.
Since version 3.0 Mugunghwa offers a theming engine allowing you to change all icons with one tap on iOS 15. What's more, SnowBoard themes are compatible, and now you can run them without a jailbreak. Mugunghwa 3 modifies the app bundle rather than using web clips (like BlizzardBoard or Shortcuts), icon badges are supported. It is also packed with a theme manager / installer for iOS 15.0 – 15.4.1, iOS 15.5 beta 1 – 15.5 beta 4, iOS 15.6 beta 1 – 15.6 beta 5.
Note: Do not use the Mugunghwa Beta theming engine with other web clips theming tools like BlizzBoard, Jaility, or TrollTools! As for now, you need to install themes manually.
Mugunghwa beta cannot change system icons such as Settings and Messages due to a lack of file system permissions. You need to theme it manually using shortcuts for now, there will be an option to add Web Clips for system apps in a future release.
When you hit apply a theme, the app holds during the applying process. There's no indicator right now, and applying icons may take a few seconds. You need also to rebuild icon cache and this may require multiple respring after applying using TrollStore.
Mugunghwa was released as an open-source project under the GNU General Public License, with all files published through GitHub Repository. The app was written mostly in Swift language, but there is also Objective-C involved. To edit the project, you can use Xcode on macOS.
