For anything I targer or prioritize you can find help here. I've basically crafted this data collection that you can always refer to whenever you need advice on something like, your old iPhone 5, what you could use on it, why your iCloud fails to authenticate after an iOS 10.3.3 downgrade etc etc.
Overview of all of our projects.
AB Media fixer does 2 things. For one, it changes the subreddit thumbnail server's endpoint to a modern one still hosted by Alien Blue's servers. And the other thing is, that it fixes SSL issues that the Alien Blue application encounters, which render the app partially useless. The SSL issues are mitigated by removing "https" from certain requests once discovered. Only on media domains though, so nothing that endagers sensitive user info.
TubeRepair hooks to the bundles (com.google.ios.youtube (the google YouTube) and com.apple.YouTube (the YouTube framework) and changes the GDataURLHost endpoints to ones which you can specify in the settings application. For authentication with the API key, the tweak attaches a request header with every request. The name of the header is X-TubeRepair-API-Key, and it's contents is the Youtube Data API V3 key which you need to enter into the settings pane for TubeRepair. For login and authentication TubeRepair hooks to the "Sign in" button in the sidebar which then initiates the sign in sequence. The sign-in sequence works by immitating the TV app of YouTube, letting you sign into your google account via a code. Once you're signed in, your OAuth token is stored on your phone securely and gets sent out encrypted only with the server decrypting it on-the-fly and discarding it upon sending it to YouTube's private InnerTube API. Backends can vary by reliability. It's up to you to trust a backend not made by Savefade, ObscureMosquito or bag.xml!
EarthX hooks to the Google Earth application, and changes every outgoing user agent header to a modern one. This is because google kills access to the app if you're connecting on an outdated user agent.
iTunesStoreX used to restrict itself to the bundle com.apple.itunesstore, and hook the NSURL component, and change every outgoing request going to http://ax.init.itunes.apple.com, which has a misconfiguration on apple's end, to the more modern http://init.itunes.apple.com, which is just the same endpoint but for some reason different.
The primary reason why the maps app lost its capabilities in iOS 6 is because of apple changing endpoint domains. This app redirects dead domains used by the maps app, to working domains.
WeatherX hooks to the weather framework, and changes the dead server endpoint to one, of a custom server. The backend used for weather on Legacy iOS is the YQL-X-Server.
StocksX hooks to the iOS Stocks framework, and changes the dead server endpoint to one, of a custom server. The backend used for stocks on Legacy iOS is the YQL-X-Server.
On the storefronts in iOS 6.0-6.1.6, Apple's JS dependencies are broken since 2017. Those are "dv6-storefront-p6bootstrap.js" available on Apple's static servers. Simply replacing the dependency link with one from iOS 7 (Which still works) fixes most layout issues present.
VineRedirect hooks to the vine app, and changes the API endpoint (https://api.vineapp.com) to a designated endpoint that can be specified in the settings page.
Lets inline media play in its own player on iOS instead of defaulting to the full-screen QuickTime player.
This one isn't a tweak, but just a post-install script which rm -rf's bunch of important iOS directories.
