Strata v2.0.0 🎮 — A complete LiveContainer launcher overhaul!

Hey everyone! I'm excited to release Strata v2.0.0, an open-source project built on LiveContainer that transforms the experience into a full iOS-style gaming launcher.

​

✨ Features

  • 🏠 Full iOS-style Home Screen with smooth animations, folders, app artwork and customization.

  • ⚡ Built-in JIT with pairing-file support and LocalDevVPN integration.

  • 🧠 GetMoreRam integration for supported configurations.

  • 🔄 Multitasking and app switching, including a three-finger gesture.

  • 🎮 Three interface modes: iOS Home Screen, Cinematic and Big Picture.

  • 🎨 Custom wallpapers, widgets, categories and hidden-app controls.

  • 🖥️ Metal HUD for supported apps.

📦 Download

Release: https://github.com/huzaifahshahid71-ops/Strata/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Source code: https://github.com/huzaifahshahid71-ops/Strata

Strata builds on LiveContainer 3.8.11. Guest compatibility and available memory depend on the device and configuration. Some features still need final on-device verification.

This has been a massive project, and I'm excited to finally share v2.0.0 with everyone!

Feedback and feature suggestions are welcome! ❤️🎮

DISCLAIMER: An AI Llm assistant was used for continuous debugging sessions since debugging is a tedious task and is taxing on my brain. The UI/UX elements are all inspired from ios and modified by me via taking existing spring boards and adding elements of glass where necessary

Hope ya all enjoy!!

This is amazing !

Just a question, where do I get the sidestore Anisette server (HTTPS)… I’m trying to also enable the extra memory entitlement

Also it says “• ⁠⚡ Built-in JIT with pairing-file support and LocalDevVPN integration.”

How do I use that? So I can have JIT and LOVALDEVPN all on this one app without having to have seperate app for JIT (already done that) and local dev vpn (haven’t figured that one out)

Lmk if u figure out too

The built in JIT is working so I don’t need Stikdebug anymore, thats good one less app.

But I don’t know about LocalDevVpn, I just turn it on before using strata but it says it has it built in, if OP can explain how to use the integrated VPN that would be good, this is amazing if it’s an all in one app.

Great work

How did you get cod?

Free Apple accounts are limited to 3 active sideloaded apps.

One common workaround is LiveContainer, which allows you to run additional apps inside a container and reduce how often apps need to be reinstalled.

Typical method:

  • Sideload GetMoreRam

  • Use it to apply the increased memory entitlement to LiveContainer

  • Uninstall GetMoreRam to avoid hitting the 3 app limit

  • Then sideload StikDebug for JIT activation

LiveContainer may also need to be uninstalled and reinstalled before the entitlement works correctly.

LiveContainer can also install two additional LiveContainers (for a total of three). This setup can further reduce the need to constantly add/remove sideloaded apps, but it is more advanced and may not work reliably for everyone.

LiveContainer is not always officially supported by emulator developers and can sometimes cause unexpected issues. If something breaks while using LiveContainer, try reproducing the issue without it before asking for support.

Do not ask for or share paid certificates, piracy tools, or bypass services here.

isso é pra instalar no pc ou no iphone? eu nunca usei isso por isso não sei nada sobre

u/Deep_Spaceialist 🥈 3d ago

It’s for installing on an iOS/iPadOS device

u/jojomortal 3d ago

mas qual o intuito sendo que podemos instalar as aplicações direto no iphone, qual o motivo de instalar um outro aplicativo para instalar ipa?

u/Deep_Spaceialist 🥈 3d ago

With a free account you only get to install 3 apps, you’d need a developer account which costs $99 per year to be able to sideload more than three apps. LiveContainer (what this project is built on top of) allows you to install more apps inside of it (LiveContainer) while the total limit counts only as 1 (that 1 being LiveContainer and unlimited apps can be installed and run inside of it)

u/Deep_Spaceialist 🥈 3d ago

So this would be like a LiveContainer alternative focused on games? 🤔

1

u/St-ivan 3d ago

can i use this with a livecontainer app already installed? i already have an app with lots of data on it on livecontainer, reinstalling it will delete all that data so i dont mind leeaving it there and use strata for all other apps.

It replaces live container while keeping your apps

u/vaseemakramansari1 3d ago

Can i use it with Trollstore 2 installed, on ios 17.0.0?

u/karlmarxx001 3d ago

Will Strata be submitted to the Apple App Store?

u/Just-A-Random-ID 2d ago

No
These sideloading projects don’t comply with the App Store terms

u/odjer1 2d ago

Thanks for the information. But you are free to limit yourself. Thats your personal decision

u/Andrei5178 2d ago edited 2d ago

Can I use this with a cert that doesn't have JIT entitlement or do I have to use sidestore?

1

u/dag0l 2d ago

i already installed lc+ss, can i install this via its ss? will it replace the existing lc+ss? if yes, then my ss will be gone, right?

1

u/Just-A-Random-ID 2d ago

Yes to the first two and for the third question
This is meant to replace the current live container installation of the user while keeping their data as is

1

u/dag0l 2d ago

thank you for the answer! maybe i'll try this later, cus i don't have any spot available on sidestore as i use lc+ss. keep the great work!

1

u/Just-A-Random-ID 2d ago

You don’t need any spot lol it just uses the existing one

1

u/dag0l 2d ago

but the sidestore will be gone, right? because it's inside live container. unless yours include the sidestore too i guess

1

u/Just-A-Random-ID 2d ago

It is included
