Step 1:

Download and install CL, run it, and connect your device. Disable Find My and iCloud Backup on your device. Read important messages if you haven't already, and backup your device first before making any changes, just so you have a backup of your device just in case anything goes wrong.

We're gonna skip "Custom Operations" cause that's mainly just for those who really knows what they're messing with. 

Step 2 (Icon Theming):

Ready to add custom icons?

For a custom icon to be added to your device, the app must be on your home screen. While these custom icons lack notification badges, the process of adding them to your device has become more simple.

To acquire a theme, go to the "Explore" section, select the desired theme, and click on the download icon. Alternatively, you can add your own theme by clicking on "Import .theme" in the icon theming section and importing the folder containing the icons.

Now in the icon theming section, click "Select" under the chosen theme. Under Preferences, are two settings, you can hide all custom icon names, and you can theme all apps (even apps that's not included in the chosen theme). If you wanna change individual app icons, click "App Settings", select the app you wanna change, then change the custom app icon name, and icon to your preferred replacement, then click save when you're done.

Step 3 (Status Bar):

Time to change our carrier name in our status bar :)

Go to the status bar section and enter your custom carrier name under "Change Primary Carrier text." You can also customize the service badge text, turn on Wi-Fi RSSI in the status bar (note: RSSI is only shown in the control center), and there are some more customization options.

Step 4 (Control Center):

If you don't want to hide the video effects and mic modules, you can skip this step and move onto step 5 (Springboard Options). To hide these two modules, click "modify" and choose the option to hide both the video effects and mic modules.

The mute function doesn't work on iOS 17.0 RC and later, and changes made by Apple in versions 17.0 RC and later have caused the screen cast module to be stuck in a fixed position, making the control center look bad. Here's the tweet I made about that: "Check out the post." While other modules still move, future software updates may affect them too. So, its recommended now to just avoid tinkering with the control center.

If you're on iOS 17.0 beta 8 or below, you can enable the silent/mute module, and move all cc modules. However, a blank space will appear at the top of the cc.

Step 5 (Springboard Options):

Anyone interested in quicker UI animations or getting rid of the bothersome battery alert?

In this section, you can speed up or slower device animations (far left for the fastest, far right for the slowest), turn off low battery alerts, remove the 10-minute time limit for AirDrop, and permanently set it to everyone, enable the diagnostics menu for WiFi in Settings, and some more options. If you want to enable the WiFi diagnostics, you can find instructions here: [click here].

*If you want to turn off the WiFI diagnostics menu, you can download and install this profile (DOWNLOAD). Once you’re done, just remove it.*

*You can use CL for a lock screen footnote, but it’s a bit of a pain to change it and remove the file from your device. Below, you will a simpler method to add a footnote to your device.*

Here’s a simple way to do it:
1. Enable supervised mode on your device, which can be done in step 7 (Setup Options), if it's not already activated.
2. Get this shortcut called "Generate Lock Screen Footnote" by clicking here, then run the shortcut and create a config profile with your custom LS footnote, then install it.
3. That's it! If you want to update the footnote in the future, locate the profile and change the filetype from (.mobileconfig) to (.txt). Edit the LS text, save the file, switch the filetype back to (.mobileconfig), then all you got to do is just install the profile.

Step 6 (Internal Options):

In this section, you can activate hidden debug settings, force the right-to-left layout on your device, display the build version in the status bar (visible only in the control center for iPhone X style devices), and some additional options. Unfortunately, you can no longer activate the App Store debug panel. I attempted to make it work again a while back, but had no success, I've told the devs of CL, but I guess they forgot.

Step 7 (Setup Options):

Now, for the "Setup Options" section, use it once if you plan to use CL in the future, then keep it disabled for future uses. This is because it will remove and mess with your profiles. So, my recommendation is to follow these steps: First, remove all config profiles from your device. Then, enable supervised mode using this section. After that, install the config profiles provided below to skip the setup screen for future CL uses.

For future CL uses, you may install this profile called -> "Bye Bye Setup" to skip setup after using CL.

Step 8 (Applying Changes):

To apply mods/tweaks, navigate to the "Apply" section, and click "Apply Changes", then make sure that the "Setup Options" section is disabled to keep your configuration profiles. Now, navigate to the "Apply" section and click "Apply Changes" (or "Apply Tweaks" if on macOS). On your device, it will show "Restore in Progress." After the device restarts, you'll encounter the setup screen. Simply setup your device, and follow the instructions to set it up.

if you see the "Apps & Data" page with the "do not transfer data" option, select it and continue following the remaining steps.

If you're on iOS 17.2 or higher, you will encounter a new page during setup named "iPhone Partially Setup". On this screen, you'll find two options at the bottom: "Erase and Start Over" and "Continue with Partial Setup". Please select the option below, NOT the first one.
