Creating Cydia Logos Tweak, now required respring after installation (How to do)

Question

I am creating a Logos Tweak for Cydia and i did complete my task, but now i required "Restart SpringBoard" after Installation. Can anybody tell me what i have to do to achieve this like many apps in Cydia store, In which after installation button appears with text "Restart SpringBoard" instead of "Return to Cydia".

Answer 1

You could do this 2 ways if you are using THEOS,

First one (if you do make clean then you will have to redo these steps),

Create 2 files in the DEBIAN folder which is located in mytweak/_/DEBIAN/ Call them preinst and postrm Inside those files paste:

declare -a cydia
cydia=($CYDIA)

if [[ $1 == install || $1 == upgrade ]]; then
    if [[ ${CYDIA+@} ]]; then
        eval "echo 'finish:restart' >&${cydia[0]}"
    fi
fi

exit

Then run make package to create the new package that has the respring button on it

The second way is much more simpler and can be used without theos, In the control file which is located in the DEBIAN folder, you should know where this is. Add the line:

Depends: mobilesubstrate

Hope this helped.
