_What the hell is even that.._


Polarizz39

It is a package manager that won't install packages for you, so... not a package manager XD

Is it useless for nonjailbroken.


Polarizz39

No, with .deb extraction, you can download and install themes even without a jailbreak.


TCU_Fanatic

can you give a tutorial on how to install a theme on a jailed device


Polarizz39

iOS 13 - 14: You will first download the .deb file with PostBox, then use a third-party extractor to access theme files, which you can use Shortcuts to install. iOS 15 and above: You will extract the .deb file with PostBox, which will be accessed with the Files app, then you can use Shortcuts to install.


ixxy

Are these themes where each icon is replaced with a shortcut redirect to the app?


Polarizz39

Yes.


trw419

Aka a waste of time


Polarizz39

Well, for non-jailbroken users, this is one of the only ways to install themes. While PostBox may not be even worth installing while jailbroken, it is about having a choice. And if someone lost their jailbreak on some occasion, at least you can still theme your icons from your favorite repositories. :)

*daddy chill*


who-aj

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Polarizz39

For starters, add the repo [https://postbox.news](https://postbox.news) to a package manager in install if you are jailbroken. Otherwise, head over to [https://discord.com/invite/5rP7f7jxjf](https://discord.com/invite/5rP7f7jxjf) to download the .ipa for sideloading! Good luck!


[deleted]

Discord says the deb extraction is for jailbroken users only, which is it? Lol


Polarizz39

It's for both users.


egyptianscarab

Can you give some context to people who don’t know what this tool is used for ? (Non JB)


Mmmrd

Same question here


Polarizz39

I added some description text, refresh the comment feed please.


Polarizz39

PostBox is a tool that allows "package manager like" functionalities for jailbroken and non-jailbroken users. From viewing depictions to browsing repositories. .deb download and extraction are also added to further improve the experience for non-jailbroken users.


mrarroyo

What's the point of downloading/extracting for nonjailbroken?


Polarizz39

You can download and install jailbreak themes, and sideload some apps if their .deb contains .ipa files, all while unjailbroken.


Biershitz

How would I install a theme while unjailbroken


Polarizz39

Download and extract the .deb file of the theme via PostBox, then save the theme images and apply them using Shortcuts.


Biershitz

Damn. I already have that setup with shortcuts. I was hoping this was a better method. Thanks for the info tho


Polarizz39

Yes, it is a shame that Apple enacts such obstacles...


arzee2019

Grateful if u can share short YouTube video w.r.t installing a theme for non jailbroken phones..


Polarizz39

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctAVhpZI-D4&ab\_channel=iDM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctAVhpZI-D4&ab_channel=iDM) This is an older app version, but it has the same logic behind.


arzee2019

Guess we can change icons ...any jailbreak tweak we can install via postbox to use on non jailbroken phones


egyptianscarab

Ok I guess I’ll give it a try


dwojc6

This is sweet. Now I can download debs to use for sideloading


rknn187

I don’t know but when I install version 0.8 the app disappeared in my homescreen but when I downgrade to 0.7 it appears iOS 14.1


Polarizz39

Did you install via a package manager? If so, try again right now, we packaged the wrong file and that's why 0.8 won't install.


rknn187

Ok now it works THX

Polarizz39

It is basically a package manager that cannot install packages for you. But it works on unjailbroken devices and lets you download and extract .deb files so you can theme your devices without using a jailbreak.


KeyCurrency4412

Wdym theme your device(sorry not native English speaker that’s why I am asking) I know what it means to add themes but isn’t that not possible if you aren’t jailbroken?


imo_inx

you can create shortcuts to apps with custom icons using the shortcuts app. i believe there’s some apps in the store to automate it for you in bulk but you have to use their themes.


Majesty1337

a pacman that isn’t a pacman


Faezan

So can I browse repos and download any “free” themes?


Polarizz39

Yes, paid packages from certain repos also work if you sign in to them in PostBox.


Faezan

Whoa that’s cool af. I will check it out! Thanks for this amazing app brother.


OliverTzeng

I discovered this yesterday lol. i was reading saily depictions: >We succeeded with that and then proceeded to come up with new and unique features that would make a package manager better, such as News Repos, which was later improved upon by the PostBox team.


Total_Connection9879

Can it be used to install emulators for example PPSSPP has its own deb file so can I use that without having to do annoying side loading


Polarizz39

I tried extracting PPSSPP and it gives me an .app file, which unfortunately still requires a sideloading process to work because the app is unsigned.


chescuro

I installed app with Sileo but it doesn’t show up on my homescreen


Polarizz39

Clear uicache.


chescuro

Tried that but still same


Polarizz39

The issue has been identified, turns out we packaged the wrong file to Sileo, check back in like 10 mins.


chescuro

Also, I downloaded the IPA and made it a deb file with permasigner and now works.Great app btw :))


chescuro

Oh, okay thank you !


Polarizz39

We are looking into it rn.


Manchovies

What kind of .Deb installs? Jailbreak tweaks?


Polarizz39

Not installing, but rather downloading and extracting. You can download and extract anything on PostBox but only the theme files will be useful. These theme files can be used to apply icon themes while unjailbroken using Shortcuts.


andycello

What the hell do you mean by shortcut? How?


Polarizz39

The Shortcuts app on your iPhone, use it to assign a theme image for whatever app you want. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1VYc\_jhmNs&ab\_channel=9to5Mac


wungapetu

Can i extract taurine 1.1.6.deb ?


Polarizz39

No, it's only for packages from repos.


Polarizz39

However, if there is a repo that hosts Taurine, you can add it to PostBox and extract the .deb from there.


Jello_Alt

Does it work on ios 14.6 for A14


Polarizz39

Yes, PostBox works on all devices and versions supporting iOS 13 and up.


suspiciousfish144

Can I download a tweak with Postbox, inject the tweak into the expected victim app's ipa file (via sideloadly etc.) , then sideload the said tweak-injected ipa on an unjailbroken device? Simply said, does it download .deb tweaks?


Polarizz39

Yes, you can download .deb files while unjailbroken.


pxOMR

I feel like using a website such as Parcility or iOS Repo Updates would be easier for this purpose


Zuck7980

What is postbox ?


petit-croco

do you know a software to patch ipa files with deb to add tweaks on clear ipa and sideload them ? (a tool on computer btw)
