What did you add to your Makefile?

kabiroberai avatar Sep 29 '17 04:09 kabiroberai

DISPLAY_NAME = XYZ

Is that correct?

Antonn1 avatar Sep 29 '17 13:09 Antonn1

Strange, that should work. Please send your entire Makefile here so that I can try to figure out what's wrong

kabiroberai avatar Sep 29 '17 15:09 kabiroberai

CODESIGN_IPA=0 MODULES = jailed include theos/makefiles/common.mk

TWEAK_NAME = LDE DISPLAY_NAME = LDE Mod

LDE_FRAMEWORKS = UIKit LDE_LDFLAGS += -Wl,-segalign,4000

LDE_FILES = Tweak.xm LDE_IPA = /Users/anton/lde.ipa

include $(THEOS_MAKE_PATH)/tweak.mk

Does it work if you change it to LDEMod?

kabiroberai avatar Sep 29 '17 15:09 kabiroberai

No it doesn't.

I think this app specifically is taking the display name from tweak_name?

That is the app

Are you using the latest version of Theos Jailed? I haven’t had time to make a tweak with that app yet, but that could be the issue

kabiroberai avatar Oct 05 '17 17:10 kabiroberai

probably not. I get > Updating Theos… error: cannot open .git/FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied

Antonn1 avatar Oct 12 '17 00:10 Antonn1

Oh, that's probably it then. Did you install the repo via git or the download zip button?

kabiroberai avatar Oct 12 '17 10:10 kabiroberai

i just reinstalled theos and theos-jailed and i can successfully compile and running make update-jailed says i'm alreayd on the latest version but the name on the home screen is still the same. it is not affected by the makefile

I am having the same issue. The display name never changes on the homescreen but the CFBundleName does update in the info.plist

@iOSsm0ke could you try creating an Info.plist in your Resources directory with its CFBundleDisplayName key set to the desired name? See https://github.com/kabiroberai/theos-jailed/wiki/Usage#adding-resources for more info

I just worked out you need to remove all the lproj folders inside the bundle. They are used for locale and they stop the new name from showing if they are used.
