Difteris

This GitHub repository contains the code for a custom server built for Veteris 1.7.2, as well as the code and .deb file for a redirect tweak that enables Veteris to use any URL.

This server is not affiliated with or endorsed by Electimon or InvoxiPlayGames. If you encounter issues, please email me or open an issue in this repository instead of contacting them.

Part 1: Difteris Server Setup

Requirements

• Python 3
• Libraries: Flask, Pillow, packaging

  pip install Flask Pillow packaging

• .NET Core 3.1 or higher (required for IPA Sorter)

Step 1: Download the Difteris Server

Download the server files and place them in your desired directory.

Step 2: Prepare IPA Files

1. Place all the IPAs for your first category into the New_IPAs folder.
2. Run IPASorter.exe from the command line. (Running via command line will display any errors.)
   • You can also double-click it to run, but errors won't be visible.
3. Processed IPAs will be categorised into folders based on their minimum iOS requirements. Any failed apps will be moved to the incomplete folder.

Example of folder structure:

Example of a processed IPA:

Step 3: Index IPAs

Run 1_Index_New_IPAS.py:

• Enter the name for the category you want the apps you are scanning to be put under.
• Specify whether you want the IPAs moved automatically. If selected, the folder structure static/ipas/(Category Name) will be created if it doesn’t already exist and the ipas will be moved.

Step 4: Index IPA Icons

Run 2_Index_IPA_Icons.py:

• This script scans all new IPAs and retrieves their icons. If an icon isn’t found, a placeholder image is used.
• Icons are stored in static/icons and named using the IPA’s bundle ID.

Step 5: Start the Difteris Server

Run 3_Difteris_Server.py:

• The server will run on port 5010 (this cannot currently be changed, as the tweak only modifies the IP).

Adding More IPAs

To add additional IPAs to new or existing categories, repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4. For existing categories, ensure you type the category name exactly.

Part 2: Veteris Client Setup

Step 1: Downgrade Veteris

There are two methods to downgrade:

1. Use Cydia’s downgrade option.
2. Uninstall Veteris. Then download and install the .deb file from Archive.org.

Step 2: Download Veteris Redirect

Install Veteris Redirect:

• From this repository VeterisRedirect/packages/com.notdbrand.veterisredirect_1.7.2-4+debug_iphoneos-arm.deb.
• Or from my repo at https://notdbrand.com/repo.
• Alternatively, compile it yourself using Theos.

Step 3: Configure the Tweak

1. Open Settings and navigate to Veteris Redirect.
2. Enter the IP address or URL of your server. (Do not include http:// or the port number.)

Step 4: Apply the Tweak

1. Click the back button.
2. Re-enter the tweak page to ensure the address is saved.
   • Simply hitting respring won’t save the address (most of the time).
3. Now hit the respring button.

Enjoy

You should now be able to start Veteris, which will connect to your server.
