Building

Just build like a normal Xcode project. Sign using your own team and bundle identifier. You can also build the .app file by running the command xcodebuild CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO -scheme Cowabunga\ Lite -configuration release inside the folder containing the xcodeproj.

How it works

Cowabunga Lite applies tweaks by creating a partial restore of only the files being changed without wiping the device. It uses libimobiledevice to create the backups, restore them to the device, and read information about the device such as the device name, iOS version, and home screen apps.

Credits

• Avangelista for much of the restore backend and initial UI.
• iTech Expert for various tweaks.
• libimobiledevice for restoring and device algorithms.
• TrollTools for icon theming UI and keys for some springboard options.
• SourceLocation for explore page code.
• Cowabunga for part of the code and UI.
• iOS 15-16 disk images

cowabungalite's Issues

TTY support

Would it be possible to enable via backup software tty for all calls, like it used to work with the available tweak on bigboss TTYSwitch?
It used to work normally for me, but my carrier isn’t making it available from my phone settings, even it working fine via the tweak.
prefs:root=ACCESSIBILITY&path=RTT
thanks, and sorry for bother with this question

missing DLLs

Settings aren't saved after the application is closed

I noticed that my settings aren't saved when i quit the application sadly, below you can see i start "fresh".

enabled a few handy tweaks

Quit the app (fully) and when starting it up again, it reverted to the default checkt options.

Is it possible to make these changes remember per device, so it's easier to re-apply (QOL)?

(setting are more reverted/fully back to stock when i update the app (like normally the foottext has my previous text but is lost now).

Not working with iOS 16.6b1

App crashes when i click on Statusbar. iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 16.6b1

Individual App Settings don't detect all installed apps

For instance FaceTime and weather weren't listed in app settings and can't be themed for some reason. There are more apps that are included in the theme but couldn't be themed.

iOS 17 not theming apps

I'm on Ventura and it's still not app icons even on the latest version out

Dude, you fucking deleted all my photos.

Dude, you fucking deleted all my photos. I didn't know it was going to reset my whole fucking iPad!

Is it supposed to set all animation speed?

I have tried the Windows version and it only speeds up one type of animation for me - the app opening animation.
The folder opening animation is still at the same speed.

[PR/Linux] Add Linux support

Creating a Linux AppImage is surprisingly simple, however, I need to know whether it would be better to have my own fork or pull request it to a new branch

Just a question about the screenshots

THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL ISSUE
So in the screenshots I saw a huawei device.
Huawei? How can that run iOS?

Fixed Battery percentage bug

Disabling the status bar setting doesn't fix it.

Error loading apps. Please try again.

[Feature Requests]

Can you add hide homebar,passcode image,and customize springboard color(dock, CC module,...)?

And does it hard to add some feature from cow to cow lite?

Functional Suggestio：Return from the right

The 14Pro Max screen is too large. Please consider whether the following functions can be realized. Thank you very much. Like Android, the finger slides from the right to the inside to realize the return function, which is convenient for hand operation, and there is no need to move the finger to the left for the return operation.

Invalid service

iPhone XR, iOS 16.5.1, also tried on 17, keeps giving this error:

ERROR: Could not start service com.apple.mobilebackup2: Invalid service

CC Reachable Bug

I have tried to setup the Stylistic preset of the CC module system, but it seems that there is an issue where the CC is pushed below the regular space, and I have attached a screenshot below, and I'm not sure whether this is an ongoing issue and you're aware or i'm just stupid but here goes!

When first pulled down, it starts here

and can be pulled up to here

Just noting, this is using Stylistic and not Reachable.

Thank you! ~ Rosie <3

Bug with iOS17 carrier text

Cowabunga Lite cannot change carrier text on iOS17 or the default

Cowabunga Lite stops responding after clicking icon theming with a device plugged in (macOS Big Sur 11.7.6, 14PM 16.4.1a)

After changing the network type in the status bar, the wifi icon cannot be displayed when connecting to wifi

Extra whitespace in CC

There is something wrong when I enable "Control Center".

Does Cowabunga Lite affect updates?

My iPhone 13 Mini is currently running on iOS 16.1 and since I've learned to live without a Jailbreak I want to DelayOTA to 16.5 and instead do a bit theming with Cowabunga Lite. However I wonder, would theming with it affect me eventually upgrading to iOS 17 in the future?

All I've did on 16.1 with the normal Cowabunga so far is mess with sounds a bit and changing the graphics of my Apple Wallet cards (which somehow persisted even after reboots) but I hope this won't affect updates at all.

Icon shadow working but it's not on the right place

App Store debug gesture?

Hey- love your work.
I haven't been able to figure out what the "App Store debug gesture" feature is referring to? I've googled and read through the repo pretty thoroughly but haven't found anything about it.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm having an issue on my ios 15.2.1 iPhone 11 Pro Max where I'm no longer able to install or update apps, or even install using a macOS installer or via a windows computer (so like using a sideloader). This only started happening shortly after using trollstore, so I deleted it but the issue still remains. The creator of trollstore has denied that his app is the cause (yet is the only thing that was on my phone that could have caused it? Makes no sense.), And from as far as I can tell from the syslogs when trying an install, it looks like it's a permissions issue to do with possibly lsd, containermanagerd or installd and I really don't want to have to do a full "erase all content and settings" and reset of my phone. It'll take too damn long, and that's why I was wondering if this feature you've got in your app "App Store debug gesture" would actually check/repair/debug system default permissions for AppStore related processes, or at least give me a bit more information so I can try correct the issue myself.
But if that's completely unrelated to this feature, I completely get it and my apologies for assuming it might help! Haha
But if you had any thoughts or ideas on how I could fix this without wiping my phone, I'd love to hear your suggestions too! Cos that trollstore/Opa33 or whatever hasn't even attempted to address or correct the issue at all when it's been raised by other users and judging by the ticket history on that repo, if I ask him to help he's just gonna deny that his app caused it and close the ticket, and just be a dick about it.

Thanks for your time and looking forward to your reply.

Version 1.2 not detecting connected devices

Tested on iMac18,2 running macOS Ventura 13.4.1

When version 1.2 is launched, the main page always displays "No Device, Please connect a device." The list at the top-left always displays "None" even after clicking on the refresh button. The connected devices show up in Finder and are also correctly detected in version 1.1.1.

Upon first launch, version 1.1.1 requests permission to access Documents whereas version 1.2 does not, could this be why?

Ios17 beta3 theming

Just to try clear up an issue I’m sure many of you are having like myself in regards to theming. I’ve tried many different things to try get theming to work however I always keep getting error downloading files multiple domain then error code 205. From what I’ve seen theming does not work on ios17 beta 3 when I restored my phone to iOS 16.4.1 I think it was it worked absolutely fine with no errors when I updated again to 17beta 3 I go the same error. I don’t know if limez needs to have a look into this or I could be mistaken but I’ve spent days trying to figure it out and that’s the only conclusion I come too. Everything else works fine except theming.

Can't remove profiles

I believe this is caused by the supervision option, I always used my phone supervised and after applied cowabunga lite first time without checking the option it disabled my supervision so I checked again and updated.
After that all my profiles are locked and I cant remove any. For example my dns profile wich I need to remove some times and now I cant.

Its now enabled and dont show up in the list to be removed as others profiles currently applied and not showing up .

Ios 16.4.1 iphone 12 pro max cowabunga 1.2.1 (it occurred before 1.1.1)

iPadOS 17

I tried to use Springboard option only and theming only and then Tried to use all of them with skip setup but still I can't unlock the iPad from the setup and I have iPadOS 17.0 beta 3

Hide App Labels doesn't work

Cowabunga lite windows cli can’t hide slide up to open foot text

Frozen on hello screen after rebooting to save changes IOS 17

can only be fixed with a restore to IOS 16.X
repsrings when unlocking or after pressing continue on the adjust text size screen

enhancement remove focus mode, turn on text if possible.

Title says what i mean pretty well

Assorted Bugs

There are a collective of issues that are present in version 1.0.1 that were present in version 1.0.

Firstly, I do not believe icon theming is applied. Restoration was successful but the log that follows shows the same problem encountered in the initial version. Apparently this applies to all themes for no folder seems to exist for any of them.

Secondly, the numerical strength indicator in dBm [although it does not indicate dBm] stays at 0 although the mobile data has got more bars than zero. It never changes.

Thirdly, although this is not an issue, how can I make the time text display seconds and the date text display in the form of Tuesday 23 May 2023? Is it feasible?

[request] hide widget label

Is it possible to hide the widget label as well as the app label? Thanks

Carrier name being nothing

I modified my carrier name to something else to see if it works, and that worked but when I disabled the status bar tweak and restored using cowabunga, my carrier name disappeared and it shows nothing.

CC Mute Buttom can‘t use.

Can't Skip Setup

I enabled this option, but every time I apply tweaks and reboot, it will make me do some settings.

Can it change the system's region of the device in the future?

To be specific, can it edit this file?
/var/containers/Shared/SystemGroup/systemgroup.com.apple.mobilegestaltcache/Library/Caches/com.apple.MobileGestalt.plist

[Request] dynamic island

I have no idea if the file controlling dynamic island is accessible for modification during restore, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not. But if it is that would be really useful. At the same time I understand if you are busy and cannot / wish not to do this.
