Help/Support Flex pass-through - How to in tweak.xm?

Ted2 · June 4, 2018

Currently trying to compile a NJB tweak for someone, but all his patches in flex return pass-through, including arguments.

I've no idea how to do that in tweak.xm

I tried:

return %orig;

return %orig(arg1, arg2);

But it doesn't work for him.

Anyone can apply it to this hook as example?

%hook SomeClass

-(id)someMethod:(int)arg1:(Class)arg2:(int)arg3:(id)arg4:(Class)arg5:(bool)arg6:(bool)arg7:(bool)arg8 {
	return nil;
}
%end

Thankyou.

Idk, he said "maybe DiDa could help?"

So I thought let's make a proper topic before he PM's you

How about " return; "

" return %orig(); "

Or there is no need for it

Thankyou.

A lot of ppl modify the Flex patches directly from xml file so it looks like pass-through but actually they add a Selector, or edit it so u don't see the overrides in Flex app itself, only by looking at plist.

You can try just "%orig;" by itself. If you return nil you are modifying the "id" of the method tho. If thats what u want to do is return nil but leave rest alone, then just

%hook class

method blah blah

{

%orig;

return;

}

Edited to add: Re-read first line that you didn't make it. Yeah you have to go to /Library/Application Support/Flex 3/patches.plist

Open the plist, find the patch, and there lies your answers. The overrides used will be there. There's some tutorials on here for manually editing Flex patches I believe for familiarizing yourself with how it was created.
