Tweaks for roothide Bootstrap

Use and convert tweaks with roothide Patcher. Sileo, Zebra, and app-level injection.

Using Tweaks with roothide

roothide Bootstrap supports tweak injection into applications (and in 2.0 public beta7, more system apps and daemons). You enable injection per app in the Bootstrap app App List. 2.0 public beta7 improves tweak compatibility and auto re-injects tweaked system apps after iOS updates. Tweaks must be built for roothide or converted using roothide Patcher.

roothide Patcher

roothide Patcher converts existing tweaks (rootful and rootless) to be compatible with roothide Bootstrap. This lets you use many existing .deb packages that were not originally built for roothide.

  • Rootful tweaks: Can be converted; the patcher adjusts paths and code for roothide.
  • Rootless tweaks: Also need conversion for full compatibility.
  • Not every tweak will convert perfectly; some may need manual fixes.

See the roothide Patcher repository and our FAQ for usage and conversion steps.

Package Managers

roothide Bootstrap works with package managers such as Sileo and Zebra. Use them to install .deb packages (roothide-compatible or patched). Add repos in Sources/Repositories, then install tweaks and enable injection for the target app in the Bootstrap app App List. See Usage Guide for enabling injection.

Enabling Tweak Injection

  1. Open the roothide Bootstrap app.
  2. Go to App List.
  3. Toggle injection on for each app you want to tweak.
  4. Restart the app for changes to take effect (respring is not used in roothide).
