Mandela

A simple iOS customization tool based on Nugget. Works up to iOS 18.0db8.

Note: This is extreme levels of ass. It is recommended to use Nugget instead unless you'd like an STD.

Usage

• Install pymobiledevice3 in your Python environment
• Run app.py
• On first run, you'll be prompted to get the MobileGestalt file from your device. Send the shortcut link to your device, run it with Shortcuts, and put the file in the same folder as app.py
• Select your tweaks
• Apply tweaks
• Reboot device
• Profit

Find My must be disabled before applying. This is a limitation of stock iOS when restoring backups. You may re-enable Find My after applying your tweaks.

If you enable Always-On Display or Stage Manager, you'll need to re-run the shortcut to enable full functionality.

Adding custom Gestalt keys

Mandela uses a simple array to store the default tweaks. However, this is open to allow for anyone to add their own keys and use them. Follow the steps below to add your own. Please beware that incorrect/invalid modifications to MobileGestalt can cause permanent damage to your device. Mandela and its authors are not responsible for any damages caused by your usage of this feature.

• Open app.py in a code editor of choice.
• You'll find baseKeys. This is a list of GestaltKey objects separated by commas.
• Make a new GestaltKey object with the path (dot-separated) of the entry you'd like to add (e.g. CacheExtra.QHxt+hGLaBPbQJbXiUJX3w or CacheExtra.mmu76v66k1dAtghToInT8g), the value you'd like to set the key to (True or False for boolean keys), and the name you'd like to display in the menu.
• Save your changes and run the script.
• You should see your new tweak appear in the menu. Congratulations, you can now add new tweaks to Mandela!
