SkankPhone is a part of Apple's internal debug utilities suite. It can be defined as a [[SpringBoard]] alternative. Instead of dividing the iPhone OS functions such as Phone, Safari, etc. into standalone applications, Apple developers combined many functionalities into one app. SkankPhone has a integrated phone, web browser, music player and SMS editor. Pressing Home Button reveals a toolbar with 5 shortcuts to other SP sections: Phone, Web, SMS, Music and Setup. In [[Alpine 1A420]] prototype firmware it also had a built-in [[Operator]] screen.

SkankPhone was a notable part of Non-UI firmwares from versions 1.0 to 5.1. It's last appearance was on prototypes running 5.1. Versions 6.0 and above no longer feature SkankPhone, for unknown reasons.

Certain versions of SkankPhone have minor differences when compared to one another. Some have a "Quit" button in the right bottom corner, whilst other have an "About Device" button there. Interestingly enough, newer versions of SkankPhone feature a "More Other" button even though there is no "Other" button present.

SkankPhone can coexist with SpringBoard. When the SkankPhone.app is linked into /Applications/SkankPhone.app, it shows up in SB and can be launched (if you have 1.x firmware). During launch, SkankPhone kills SpringBoard.

== Technical ==
SkankPhone does not depend on SpringBoard, SkankPhone can live with or without it. It is not like a regular UIKit application, in this way, it is not linked with UIKit and uses it's own custom framework. SkankPhone's framework located in it's application bundle named SkankKit, this is small UIKit replacement. SkankPhone is launched by a daemon. Somewhere in this process SkankPhone unloads SpringBoard's daemon, this kills SpringBoard while giving SpringBoard no way to respawn.

3D Touch Calibration Procedure

2020-11-07T03:46:56Z

Frax:

'''3D Touch''' is a pressure sensing technology embedded within the [[iPhone 6s]] and later.
If a device's display is acting up, or has been recently repaired, it must be recalibrated using the '''3D Touch Calibration Procedure.'''

This procedure is a very delicate one, and can only be performed by an Apple authorized technician on '''iPhone 6s and later.'''

==Preparation==
[[Image:Horizon.png|thumb|200px|The 3D Touch Calibration Fixture.]]
The device being calibrated must be running a public release of '''iOS 10.0 or later.''' A device running iOS 9 or earlier will be ''irreparably damaged'' by the fixture if it is not updated first. It must be awake on the lock screen or the home screen prior to beginning the procedure, and have at least 20% battery remaining.

Additionally, the technician must have a Genius Room iMac running the latest version of [[3DTouchCal]] software, and a '''3D Touch Calibration Fixture,''' connected to the iMac's Ethernet port.

Often called '''Horizon machines''' due to their codename, 3D Touch Calibration Fixtures have the ability to calibrate the display, proximity sensor, and pressure sensors on iPhone 6s or later. They can also pair new Touch ID buttons to a [[Secure Enclave|Secure Enclave Processor]]. They are not to be confused with Display Calibration Fixtures, which are used with iPhone 5 through iPhone 6 Plus during the [[Display Calibration Procedure]].

Finally, the device to be calibrated must be wiped clean with a lint-free microfiber cloth and placed in a cradle, if required, based upon the device's size. If the device's display is not perfectly clean, fingerprints and other oils will damage the pads on the Calibration Fixture and render it useless for accurate calibration until they are replaced. Once the cradle and/or device are locked securely in place, the iPhone must be connected to the Calibration Fixture via the '''Device-Under-Test (DUT)''' cable. If required, the technician can place an included speaker port cover on the device to reduce noise generated during calibration.

==Procedure==
The technician must power on the Calibration Fixture and confirm it is connected to the host iMac. Then, the technician will launch the 3DTouchCal software. 3DTouchCal will begin to prepare the device for calibration by searching an internal service called '''Display Cloud''' for display calibration data. Once it is found, calibration begins.

The calibration process takes around fifteen minutes. The Calibration Fixture is not to be opened during this time, even though it has built-in safety precautions if this happens.

During calibration, the device is wiped and flashed with a specialized firmware specifically for calibration, called [[Horizon Firmware]], which is similar to [[Factory Firmware]]. The display will mostly remain white, and may flash a few test patterns.

Once calibration is complete, the device is wiped again and restored to the latest version of iOS. 3DTouchCal will display a green check mark if calibration succeeds, and a red cross if it fails. If calibration fails, 3DTouchCal will display instructions to resolve the issue, if applicable.

==Completion==
At this point, the 3D Touch display and proximity sensor are calibrated. The Calibration Fixture is opened and the DUT cable detached. The device is removed and speaker port cover discarded, if applicable.

==Fixture Modification==
[[Image:CradleCutter.png|thumb|200px|The Cutting Tool]]
Before the Calibration Fixture can be used with the iPhone X, it must be modified using '''the cradle Cutting Tool'''. The Tool is designed to make a perfect cut into the silicone pad of the Calibration Fixture in the shape of the iPhone X's raised camera, so that it may fit into the Fixture without causing calibration anomalies.

To prepare for modification, the Fixture's gantry must be pushed as far back as possible into a locked position by pressing on the large metal plate secured to the front. The technician may leave the Fixture powered on to provide additional light if necessary.

Once the Cutting Tool is secured firmly in the cradle, the technician must pull down the lever to make the cut, then remove the Cutting Tool from the cradle. Now that the Tool is removed, the excess silicone must be peeled away gently by the curved end of the incision. If the silicone does not peel away, the technician may try again by the flat end. The use of an ESD-safe nylon probe (Black stick) is not recommended as it may cause damage to the Fixture if it slips from the technician's hand.
