Cylinder

Latest version: 1.0.0

Here's the deb.

what???

This is a jailbreak tweak that lets you animate your icons when you swipe pages on the SpringBoard.

Differences to Barrel:

1. Combining multiple effects
2. Effects are written in Lua

With Lua, the effects can be modified and created using just a text editor (scripts are stored in /Library/Cylinder). No knowledge of C or Objective-C is necessary. A noob-friendly tutorial can be found here.

Custom scripts can be submitted to /r/cylinder.

If you want to make your own effects, check out any of the 53 scripts that are bundled with Cylinder. If you need more in-depth documentation you can check out EXAMPLE.lua as well. Once you've made your own effect, make a folder with your name in /Library/Cylinder on your phone (like /Library/Cylinder/rweichler), drop your scripts in, and it should appear in settings (no respring required).

Compatible with iOS 11-14.

How to build/install this

This is for people that would like to contribute to the core (C / Objective-C) framework. If you would like to create your own scripts, no extra setup is necessary. Just install Cylinder on Cydia and follow the instructions above.

Dependencies

• Mac OS X, Linux or jailbroken iOS
• Theos
• Xcode (or, clang/make and a copy of the iPhone SDK >= iOS 13)
• liblua

Setup

Clone the repository and cd into it

git clone https://github.com/ryannair05/Cylinder-Reborn.git
cd cylinder

For those who don't have Xcode installed

Open config.mk and edit the line that says SDK= to reflect where your copy of the iPhone SDK is.

The theos team has been nice enough to host them for us here: https://github.com/theos/sdks

Just download one of those (must be >= iOS 13), unzip it somewhere, delete the original .tar.gz and paste wherever you unzipped it after the SDK= in the config.mk.

Building

If you just want a .deb, run this:

make package

If you want it to build and install on your device, run this:

make do IPHONE_IP=iphone_wifi_ip_here

You need OpenSSH installed in order for the installation to work.
