Wallpapers, Launch & App Audio

Importing Tendies Wallpaper Packs

GestaltX v1.0.6 added Wallpaper Settings for importing, applying, and cleaning up animated PosterBoard wallpapers, followed by v1.0.7 (Build 11130112) to fix container path discovery on iOS 27.3:

To import a wallpaper pack, select a .tendies or .zip file in Files, tap Share → GestaltX, and return to Wallpaper Settings. Keep two community findings in mind: first, single-descriptor PosterBoard packs import cleanly while multi-wallpaper bundle archives from standard Cowabunga collections may need unpacking into individual descriptors first (#143). Second, tapping delete inside GestaltX invokes deleteImportedWallpaper() on GestaltX's local store, whereas removing an active wallpaper from the iOS Lock Screen switcher is done by swiping up on the Lock Screen gallery itself (#126).

Custom Lock Screen Text

Inside System Settings, GestaltX includes a Custom Lock Screen Text control introduced in v1.0.6. Unlike MobileGestalt capability flags that require a full restart, custom Lock Screen footer text writes directly to the active configuration and appears without rebooting your iPhone or iPad.

Clearing the text field or restoring default settings removes the custom string cleanly without touching your MobileGestalt cache.

App Launch Image Overrides

App Launch Images (added in v1.0.6 and updated for iOS 27.3 container discovery in v1.0.7) customizes the cached splash snapshots iOS displays while apps cold-start:

• Automatic snapshot backups: Before replacing any app's launch image, GestaltX backs up the original rendered image so you can restore the stock splash screen in one tap.
• Full-resolution Photos export: You can save existing full-resolution launch assets directly to your Photos library to inspect exact pixel dimensions and safe-area aspect ratios before supplying a replacement image.
• Zero binary modification: Overrides happen inside the target app's mutable launch-snapshot cache directory rather than altering signed .app Mach-O or storyboard files.

If an app regenerates its launch cache after an App Store update, open GestaltX and re-apply your saved launch image preset.

App Audio Library & Capture Guide

Shipped in GestaltX v1.1.1 (Build 11140102), App Audio Library lets you replace per-app notification sounds with custom audio files on side-loaded builds:

1. Select a listed app or capture paths: Open App Audio Library to browse detected apps. GestaltX caches the discovered app audio list and refreshes captured sounds immediately after scanning.
2. Use Pairing + LocalDevVPN for unlisted apps: If a messaging or social app does not show its notification sound path automatically, open Pairing & Device Connection, ensure your LocalDevVPN tunnel is connected, and trigger a notification while running the built-in capture guide.
3. Pick custom audio & apply: Choose your replacement sound file using the fixed v1.1.1 side-loaded audio picker. If LocalDevVPN fails to connect, GestaltX halts capture immediately and displays tunnel setup instructions rather than hanging in the background.
