Credits

• Majd Alfhaily for Cercube.

• Galactic-Dev and Luewii for iSponsorBlock.

• PoomSmart - the developer of many tweaks used by CercubePlus, include: YTABGoodies, YTClassicVideoQuality, NOYTPremium, YTUHD and YouPiP.

• level3tjg - for YTNoHoverCards.

• Al4ise for Azule, a tool used to inject jailbreak tweaks into jailed iOS apps.

• theos team for theos & theos-jailed.

Features

1. Cercube:

• Block all advertisements.

• Enable background playback.

• Set default player quality on WiFi & Celullar.

• Save videos in high resolution, save videos as audio-only, save public playlists (beta).

• Manage and share downloads to any app.

• And more...

2. iSponsorBlock: Skips annoying sponsor ads inside videos. iSponsorBlock is based on SponsorBlock engine. This is the iOS version of the SponsorBlock extension.

3. YTABGoodies: allow you to disable some YouTube A/B testing features. It is a combination of several tweaks, such as:

• YouAreThere: disable "Video paused. Continue watching?" popup in the YouTube app when you play a long video.

• YouRememberCaption: make YouTube remember your video caption setting (if not already).

• YTNoCheckLocalNetwork: block the Local Network permission popup.

• YTSystemAppearance: sync the YouTube theme (dark/light) with the system theme.

4. YTClassicVideoQuality: since YouTube v16.xx, you need one more step to change the video quality. YTClassicVideoQuality brings back the old video quality selector, which is a lot better than the new one.

5. NOYTPremium: remove YouTube Premium upsell alerts.

6. YTUHD: unlock VP9 codec and in effect, enables video quality of 2K and 4K. You can enable/disable YTUHD in YouTube Settings => Video quality preferences.

7. YouPiP: enable YouTube's native PiP. More options are in YouTube Settings => General.

8. YTNoHoverCards: offer an option to enable/disable the annoying suggested videos show up at the end of the videos.

Known issues

1. Cercube: Hide Cast button is not working.

2. iSponsorBlock: the modified time doesn't show up in the seek bar

3. YTUHD: Stuttering on 4K videos (sometimes).

4. YouPiP (iOS 14.0 - 14.4.2): due to Apple's fault, you may encounter the speedup-bug as described here. The bug also happens when you try to play multi-sources of sound at the same time. Enable LegacyPiP is a workaround. Keep in mind that LegacyPiP also removes UHD quality and breaks YouTube Autoplay next. Use it at your own risk.

5. Not a bug: the app won't be able to receive push notifications if you use a free developer account to sideload it.

Building (optional)

Method 1: azule (simple way)

1. Setup Azule on your machine (macOS/Linux/iOS).

2. Download all the tweaks you want to inject.

• [iOS Repo Updates](https://www.ios-repo-updates.com/) is a trust-able source. cydownload and Windows Repo Tool are good alternative.

• The sideloaded version of iSponsorBlock is here (Luewii's fork).

3. Run azule in any Terminal window and follow the instruction.

4. Select 1. Inject tweaks, then Drag & drop the decrypted YouTube IPA and your prepared tweaks into the azule window. Other options are optional.

5. Done! Azule will take care of the rest!

Method 2: theos-jailed (complex way)

1. 1. Setup theos-jailed

2. Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/qnblackcat/CercubePlus.git

3. Open Makefile and edit the path to your decrypted YouTube IPA.

4. Optional: Modify the app the way you want. I suggest you take a look at the theos-jailed wiki and my Makefile.

5. cd to the project folder, run

make clean package
