Description

Xen HTML supports HTML+JavaScript widgets from all other related tweaks: LockHTML, iWidgets, SBHTML and Cydget.

It provides a number of useful features:

• Homescreen Background Layer

  Adds support for rendering a widget behind icons.

  This layer has full touch support.

• Lockscreen Layers

  Adds both a stationary background layer behind the lockscreen, and a moving foreground layer for widgets.

• Integrated Widget Settings Editor

  Both Options.plist and config.js can be easily modified whilst in Settings.

• WidgetInfo.plist

  Provides support for a new file widget developers can use, which can give additional metadata to Xen HTML.

  It also allows for the usage of Options.plist in any widget, and is fully backwards compatible.

  See Documentation for more information.

• Improved Performance and Stability

  Xen HTML uses new WebKit APIs from Apple to help improve performance, and to optimise battery usage.

• Widget Placement Adjustments

  Provides drag and drop support for moving around widgets whilst in Settings.

• In-Settings Preview

  All settings can be previewed without leaving Settings.

• No Resprings for Settings Changes

  No settings change in Xen HTML's settings panel will ever require a respring.

Why should I use this?

The idea behind Xen HTML is that it unifies all existing HTML-based tweaks together, and improves their performance using new APIs where possible.

Description

ReProvision never requires a paid developer account to install applications.

It provides a number of useful features, such as:

• Automatic re-signing of locally provisioned applications.

• Saving of your Apple ID login details (Note: sensitive information is stored in the Keychain).

• Installation of .ipa files through Safari and other applications.

• Support for signing Apple Watch applications.

• 3D Touch menu to manually re-sign from the Homescreen.

It has also been designed to use the lowest amount of battery power possible, via a background daemon.

Description

Xen Lockscreen allows you to have pages of content directly on your lockscreen, along with providing improvements to notifications, media artwork and more.

Provided content pages:

• ☀️ Weather

• 📅 Calendar

• 🚀 Launchpad

• 📱 NC Widgets

• 💽 Toggles

These pages can be arranged in any order, and can be added or removed from the lockscreen with ease.

Notifications

Xen Lockscreen allows you to group notifications together per app, along with applying a custom styling similar to iOS 10.

Unlock Direction

The direction to swipe to unlock can modified with three different settings:

• Towards the left

• Slide upwards

• Towards the right

Peek

A combination of iOS 10's Raise to Wake, and Nokia's Glance. Pull your phone out of your pocket, and the display will light up with quick information. Tap the screen, or press the Home button, to access the lockscreen.

Media Artwork

It also allows for setting different styles of media artwork, such as fullscreen imagery.

Morning Summary

At the time you wake up, useful information will be displayed about the day ahead.

Theming

Xen Lockscreen has in-built support for applying themes to the lockscreen. Any theme built for it or Convergance can be used.

Description

This project was built for a fourth-year module at The University of Nottingham, covering Mixed Reality technologies.

It provides ambient sound and lighting to achieve the following:

• Increased user attention throughout the day, by enriching the local environment with greater blue light levels and playing "study music"

• Automated user stress reduction based upon heart data, by emitting a red hue and playing "calming music"

• Optional biofeedback to the user of their heart data when stress is detected, by blinking the output LEDs in sync with the user's heart data

Also included is power management through Bluetooth-based proximity detection.

To generate heart data, two methods can be used: live readings from an Apple Watch's heart sensor, or through emulation.

Description

This project was built for my third-year dissertation at The University of Nottingham.

Distributed Classes builds upon Distributed Objects to transparently allow multiple processes to share classes as if they were native to each process. These processes need not be running on the same machine, and can scale across networks.

In a nutshell, provided you know the name of a class in one process, you can access it in another after setting up a connection between the two.

This library explores the technique of proxying class definitions, rather than instances of a class.

Features

This library has the following features:

• Access to remote classes with only a slight syntax change (to avoid compiler complaints).

• Automatic discovery of processes providing classes on the local network via Bonjour.

• One-time connection, with no other code needed for a basic setup.

• Support for connecting to a given IPv6 hostname and port number (see limitations for IPv4).

• Optional global error handler, to avoid the need for adding code to catch potential transmission errors.

• Optional user-provided security, with a default of encrypting messages with ChaCha20+Poly1305.

You can also adjust the debug logging level of the system at compile-time, by changing the DEBUG_LOG_LEVEL value in DCNSPrivate.h.

Description

InfoStats 2 is a powerful API, allowing both HTML/JS and Objective-C developers to access system data, and to call functions without the need for reverse engineering.

It provides a large degree of data and functions, grouped together as appropriate. This includes:

• ☀️ Weather

  Gives the current temperature, wind speed etc, along with hourly and daily forecasts.

• 🌍 Location

  Retrieves the user's exact location automatically with variable accuracy and distance filtering.

• 🎧 Media

  Provides the currently playing media details, along with the functions needed to control media.

• 📅 Calendar

  Allows for querying events, and updating whenever the user changes calendar details.

• ✉️ Notifications

  Provides access to Notification Centre data, updating when new notifications arrive.

• 📱 Telephony

  Includes information about the signal levels for both cellular and WiFi, and so on.

• 💽 System

  Such as CPU, RAM and battery usage, along with various utility functions like launching applications.

For JavaScript, InfoStats 2 will inject Cycript into all webviews on SpringBoard, allowing you to then leverage the API provided. All tweaks that allow running HTML-based widgets are supported.

For tweaks, the classes provided are available whilst your code is running in SpringBoard.

Description

It's time for a bold new direction.

Convergance brings a new paradigm to unlock your device, an uncluttered way of dealing with lockscreen notifications, accessible settings shortcuts, interactive widgets, and a rejuvenated design.

Notifications

Seeing notifications in a long list makes it much more difficult to pick out which apps they are from. To combat this, notifications are now grouped by their associated app, which also makes the lockscreen look much cleaner.

Widgets

iOS provides access to information such as the weather, but there shouldn't be a need to unlock your device to view it. Convergance takes this information, and displays it directly on your lockscreen in the form of widgets. A crisp RSS reader, your calendar, a calculator, and the week's weather are all provided as default widgets, with more being available in Cydia.

Launchpad

By default, iOS allows for quick access to the camera from the lockscreen. However, if you wanted to quickly access say your Twitter timeline, this isn't possible. Cue Launchpad - instant secure access to an unlimited number of apps, with just a single tap.

HTML

Support for HTML lockscreens is also built in, allowing you to continue using the custom lockscreens you love, and to tailor Convergance to your tastes. Any lockscreen from GroovyLock, LockHTML or Cydget will run without any modification, with full support for interactivity. A lockscreen dim delay is also provided in the Advanced settings.

Theming

Convergance also features it's own built-in theming engine, allowing you to fully personalise your experience. Do you prefer even more minimalistic design? It's catered for. Further themes can be easily created, and switched between without restarting SpringBoard.
