TrollStore isn’t just about permanently signing IPA files — it unlocks possibilities that feel surprisingly close to jailbreak tweaks. The Ball, developed by mumu, proves that point perfectly.
The Ball is a fully customizable App Launcher that lives directly on your Home Screen. It behaves like a classic floating tweak from the jailbreak era — but here’s the key difference:
No jailbreak required.
It works on TrollStore-supported devices running:
- iOS 15
- iOS 16
- iOS 17.0
If you’ve ever wanted a floating launcher overlay without modifying SpringBoard through a jailbreak, The Ball makes it possible.
What is The Ball IPA?
The Ball is a TrollStore-exclusive app that adds a floating launcher button (a “ball”) to your iOS Home Screen.
When activated, this floating ball expands into a customizable launcher interface where you can quickly access apps, widgets, or shortcuts.
It feels very similar to classic jailbreak tweaks — but it runs entirely through TrollStore’s enhanced permissions.
Once installed, The Ball icon appears on your Home Screen. Opening it allows you to:
- Enable the floating launcher
- Customize appearance
- Adjust animations
- Configure layout behavior
Even if the initial interface language isn’t English, the layout and icons make configuration straightforward.
Why The Ball Requires TrollStore
The Ball is released as a TIPA package, not a standard App Store app.
It cannot be installed with:
- AltStore
- Sideloadly
- Scarlet
- Regular IPA installers
It must be installed using TrollStore because it relies on TrollStore’s system-level capabilities to function properly on the Home Screen.
If installed using another method, the launcher will not activate.

- Enable auto-hide
It stays available system-wide, giving instant access to your launcher panel.
Full Customization Options
The Ball gives you detailed visual control.

How The Ball Compares to Jailbreak Tweaks
The Ball feels similar to old-school tweaks that added floating menus to SpringBoard.
The difference?
- No root access
- No jailbreak
- No tweak injector
- No substrate
Everything works through TrollStore’s enhanced signing framework.
For many users, this is the perfect middle ground between stock iOS and jailbreak customization.
