RoutineHub • Icon Themer (iOS 14)

Will I have to re-do my icons every update?
Reply · 2 months ago

No, if your icons are working fine there's no reason to redo them. (Also, you accidentally posted this question twice.)

Sadly this is not possible, Apple limits what shortcuts and configuration profiles can do. A jailbreak tweak such as SnowBoard or Anemone is required for a higher level of customization.

If you mean the functionality of this specific shortcut or configuration profiles, I just happened to stumble upon the Apple web clip documentation that shows this is now possible here: <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/webclip>. For making configuration profiles in general: https://developer.apple.com/business/documentation/Configuration-Profile-Reference.pdf

@titanhowl

Just got the new update today. Brilliant. Thanks for all your work. Turning reduce motion on does significantly improve & make the transition between system apps & the shortcut almost seamless. However.. I only want it turned on for opening system apps. Is there a way to do that? I know I can make an automation to turn it off during the close of an app, so no worries there... But what about only having it on for the opening of system apps only? How do I go about that? Thanks!
Reply · 2 months ago

@nyuszika7h Member Author

Hmm, this is not that simple. Unfortunately the “app” that opens first here is a web clip that can’t be selected for the Open App automation. There are two ways to go about this: one is creating a shortcut “Turn Reduce Motion On, Open App, Turn Reduce Motion Off”. The other is if I modify the shortcut to create non-fullscreen web clips, then it goes through Safari instead and you can set an Open App automation on Safari.
Reply · 2 months ago

@nyuszika7h Member Author

I can possibly add this in a future update (you’d still have to set up the automation manually) but I’m not sure if everyone would prefer this over the current behavior, although most people (me included) seem to prefer not to have Reduce Motion on all the time.

In the safari system application, after the release of their browser and return, the last tab on which there was a transition opens on the screen, rather than the one I chose before leaving the browser. That is, for example, I go to the browser search and find an article, follow the link and the second tab with the article opens. Then, for example, open all the active tabs with a button and just go back to the previous one, where the search parameter was entered.
Reply · 2 months ago

@nyuszika7h Member Author

Hmm, I see what you mean, it opens the most recently opened tab instead of where you left off... that’s annoying, but I don’t know if it’s possible to fix :/ At least maybe it’s better than the previous method which always opened a new tab.
Reply · 2 months ago

Is there any hope that all system applications will also start opening as a Safari browser without opening the black screen or command application and without having to disable the motion reduction feature? Otherwise, your work is very useful and the team is very cool
Reply · 2 months ago

@nyuszika7h Member Author

Well, I don't see a way to work around this issue right now, there are three almost equally bad options, Reduce Motion helps a bit with each but I understand you may not want it turned on permanently. It is possible to have them open through Safari but that's not really much better than going through a blank page or Shortcuts IMO.

This thing blows my mind and works so easily... Is it possible to have this trigger a Shortcut? I have a shortcut that opens a list of apps, which I use like a folder... but it would be WAY better to have a custom icon than have to use a huge shortcut widget. Edit: I tried to use “shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=<shortcut name>” but it doesn’t work for me.

No one should use this! This has some serious security issues. First of all, any custom photo used on the icon is in fact uploaded to a server, not just a directory from your device. And second, profiles used like this allow for a remote view of your device. So you just gave up security to change some icons. Not a good idea at all!
Reply · 2 months ago

@Rhinozz

What you are saying is completely false. Any custom photo comes straight from your device and the shortcut is not run from a server, but your own device. Profiles like this are created through code - not all are malicious. Both myself and others have peer checked the code and all it does is create a profile that runs an app clip. Your security is not at risk.
Reply · 2 months ago

@rockstar2200

Nope you are incorrect, doesn't take a rocket scientist to watch the packets as soon as you pick a photo. That photo is offloaded, there's no debate about it but no one out there is doing their homework. Same goes for the profile image that is made, packets go off the device. And they aren't small, they are the exact same size as the photos being used.

You do not know anything about code, shortcuts, or anything about it. You (probably) watched a YouTube video showing how amazing this shortcut is and decided you want to check it out. You came here, looked through the comments and decided to make this shortcut look bad. You create a routinehub account to just say that this shortcut is bad. If you want proof look through the shortcut’s code, and see that the photos you pick doesn’t get uploaded to a server. But (continue on the next comment)
Reply · 1 month, 3 weeks ago

@tbb

you say: Why does it need data from other websites? One of them is a gist.GitHub.com which is where people host code. In this case he/she hosted URL schemes for system apps. Other ones is when you choose the default icon for that App Store app, it gets the icon feom the “artwork URL” Each app has it’s own artwork URL. It looks like a broken down hyperlink or a server. It is not one of those things. So, THIS SHORTCUT IS NOT MALICIOUS IN ANY WAY!

Those apps are system apps. For some reason, Apple bypasses a check for system apps (that's the highly simplified explanation) so they can't be opened seamlessly. This means they have to go through an app. Some apps can be run from the app you click on - it'll be a black screen and then the app, as you're describing. Some apps are private and the app created can't open them, so they have to go through shortcuts. A few apps can't be opened at all because they don't have any way to open them.

Reply · 2 months ago

If the app is a beta of an app on the app store, just use the app store option and pick the non-beta app. They have the same URL scheme/x-callback URL and bundle ID, so they should work. If it isn't on the app store, you have to find the bundle ID yourself through iExplorer/some other method. That's an easy google search.

I do love your app and have made some great themes with it! Just want to neaten up some if possible without redoing them. Thank You drinkey.

Ok, so I have followed all of the steps, and everything worked up to the point where I tapped “Create My Icons” at which point it says “Could not run open URLs” “This action is not currently available”. Not sure if I did something wrong, or if it’s my phones hardware/software (I’m trying this on an iPhone 6s with IOS 14.2). Ive reinstalled the shortcuts app, I’ve tried different photos and apps, I tried deleting and redownloading the shortcut. I’m stumped as to why it won’t work for me. Help?

Hi, I used this shortcut on my iPhone and it worked just fine. I’m now trying to use it on my friend’s phone and I’m having trouble finding apps like Hulu and Cash App in the App Store even though I didn’t have any issue finding them in mine. Also after installing shortcuts for apps like Amazon and Chipotle, they wouldn’t open. Tapping on the shortcut wouldn’t do anything. Any ideas as to why this is happening and/or how to fix it? Thanks for your time :^)

That's because the apps they linked to are not from the region you live in. I dug through the Icon Themer shortcut script and found that in the step where it says "Search App Store for 'Text'" step, the region is set to Hungary. Just change the region to the region you live in (e.g. United States), and the search will then function perfectly. I wish I could attach a few screenshots in this comment, but I don't see an option to do that. So lemme know if you have trouble locating that step :)

Just writing to notify you of a quirk with the eBay app, not sure if it can be resolved. Some sort of cache appears to be happening, as when new items appear in a saved search (showing the blue dot next to the search) and you tap on it, the dot goes away as normal until you launch the app from the shortcut again. Then those same dots appear next to the same searches as if the user hasn’t acknowledged the notification on each. Please let me know if there is no possible fix or workaround for this.

This has been mentioned in a few post, but nothing of real solution really came of it. I've read the mention of a bundle ID, and such for non-app store apps. Likely can be used for normal App's as well. The issue is when searching, you can't find some apps within the app store. Is there any solution for this, or at least some formalized docs on how to solve it. I can help create them if you wish.

I did find it and was able to get Best Buy perfectly fine. It also did search and find AMC Theaters, but then gives me and popup message that reads... ”in ‘results’ the index you specified was outside of the possible range for the array (you asked for item 1, and the array has only 0).” The title of that popup message is “Could Not Evaluate the Key Path”. So I’m not sure what that means, it gives me two options, “OK” and “Show”, when I select show it takes me to a part of the script
Reply · 3 weeks, 4 days ago

@olexluthoro

part of the script where is shows options for “Network: get contents of...” and under that will be “Variables: set variable bundleid....”. So again, not sure what that means but won’t let me install or create shortcut for AMC theaters. However, great find and awesome instructions, I found it with no issues and will check other apps. Thanks so much and let me know if you have any luck with those messages.
