Nugget

iOS-Tool fuer Anpassung und versteckte Funktionen

Nugget-Anleitung: Umgebung vorbereiten, Geraet verbinden und den ersten sinnvollen Tweak anwenden.

Diese Seite folgt der realen Reihenfolge: Computer vorbereiten, Backup erstellen, iOS-Version pruefen, Geraet verbinden und vertrauen, Nugget starten, falls noetig die MobileGestalt-Datei vorbereiten und dann mit den am leichtesten pruefbaren Tweaks beginnen.

Before you begin

Back up first, confirm the version second, then start changing things.

This is the most important rule. A backup gives you a recovery path. Checking the version first prevents you from chasing features that are not supported on your build.

Windows

Install Apple Devices or iTunes
If detection fails, check the cable, port, and trust prompt first

Linux

Install usbmuxd
Install libimobiledevice

Run from source

Python 3.9+
pymobiledevice3
PySide6

Step by step

For a first run, this order is the safest one.

Get the environment and connection stable before you explore the tweaks themselves.

Back up the device first

Create a full backup before you change anything. That gives you the safest recovery path if a tweak does not behave the way you expected.

Prepare the computer

Install Apple Devices or iTunes on Windows, or usbmuxd and libimobiledevice on Linux. If you run from source, add Python 3.9+, pymobiledevice3, and PySide6.

Launch Nugget

You can use a desktop release or run from source by creating a virtual environment, installing the dependencies, and starting `python3 main_app.py`.

Connect and trust the device

Connect with a reliable cable and approve the trust prompt on the iPhone or iPad. Do not unplug the device in the middle of an apply or restore action.

Start with one simple feature group

PosterBoard, status bar customization, and SpringBoard options are good first choices because their results are easy to spot and confirm.

Reboot if needed and verify

Some changes need a restart or reload of the system interface. Confirm the result before you move on to the next tweak.

Version check

Before you touch any switch, make sure you know which version range your device is in.

Not every tweak works on every build. Looking here first will reduce most beginner mistakes.

iOS 17.0 - 26.0+

PosterBoard animated wallpapers and community wallpapers
Status bar tweaks, SpringBoard details, and internal options
Liquid Glass disable option on supported 26.0+ builds
Selected daemon control and a few risky hidden options

iOS 17.0 - 26

MobileGestalt features such as Dynamic Island on unsupported devices, boot chime, charge limit, and more
Hidden settings pages, regional restriction changes, and feature flags
EU Enabler on iOS 17.6 and below

iOS 18.1 - 26

AI Enabler
Device spoofing
MobileGestalt and AI Enabler are not supported on iOS 26.2+

MobileGestalt

If you need MobileGestalt-related features, prepare the required file first.

For some features on iOS 26 and below, you may need the device-specific mobilegestalt file.

1
Install the Shortcuts app on the iPhone or iPad.
2
Download the Save MobileGestalt shortcut.
3
Run the shortcut and save the generated file.
4
Transfer the file to your computer.
5
Place it next to the Python program or point Nugget to the file path.

Source run commands

python3 -m venv .env

source .env/bin/activate

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

python3 main_app.py

Depending on your environment, the commands may be `python / pip` instead of `python3 / pip3`.

First tweaks to try

For your first session, start with the modules that produce obvious visible results.

Visible changes make it much easier to tell whether everything is working correctly.

PosterBoard

Set animated wallpapers, browse community wallpapers, or convert video to wallpaper.

Status Bar

Adjust carrier text, battery display detail, signal bars, time text, and icon visibility.

SpringBoard options

Try lock screen footnotes, Dynamic Island screenshots, charging behavior, or lock screen text.

MobileGestalt

On supported builds, explore Dynamic Island, charge limit, Tap to Wake, AOD, and Stage Manager.

Practical tips

If something goes wrong, start by checking connection, version, and operation order.

Most beginner issues are not caused by the tweak itself. They usually come from missing setup steps.

If the device is not detected, confirm trust first, then try another cable or port.

Do not enable too many changes at once. Apply one, verify one.

If version support is unclear, confirm the iOS version before you continue.

If the desktop app is blocked, check system security prompts and permissions.
