[Bug] files app black screen and iphone storage takes too long to load #941

Description

@LawMOB

I am new to jailbreaking, so I'm not sure whether this is an issue with dopamine or something else could someone please help me understand what might be causing this issue?

I am experiencing an issue with the built in ios files app and the iphone storage section in settings while using dopamine

Immediately after a fresh jailbreak, both the files app and iphone storage work normally however, after several hours of using the device, the files app may start showing a black screen, while the iphone storage section takes an unusually long time to load

Sometimes, enabling dopamine "Hide Jailbreak" feature temporarily makes the files app work normally, but this does not always fix the issue in some cases, the files app still shows a black screen and iphone storage continues to take a very long time to load even with hide Jailbreak enabled

When I remove the jailbreak completely, both the files app and iphone storage return to normal

  1. Jailbreak the device using dopamine
  2. Immediately after a fresh jailbreak, open the files app and settings > general > iphone storage both work normally
  3. Use the device normally for several hours
  4. Open the files app again
  5. The files app may display a black screen
  6. Open settings > general > iphone storage
  7. Iphone storage takes an unusually long long long time to load

The files app should continue to work normally, and iphone storage should load normally regardless of how long the device has been jailbroken

  • The files app sometimes becomes a black screen after several hours

  • iPhone Storage takes an unusually long time to load.

  • Dopamine's "Hide Jailbreak" sometimes fixes the black screen, but not consistently.l

  • In some cases, hide jailbreak does not fix either issue

  • After the files app stops showing a black screen, I still cannot access certain locations in the files app, including:

    • On My iPhone
    • iCloud Drive
    • Recently Deleted
  • Tapping these locations does not open them

  • Removing the jailbreak completely makes the files app and iphone syorage work normally again

  • Device: iphone 11

  • iOS: 18.6.2 (22G100)

  • Jailbreak: Dopamine

I have attached a screen recording showing the issue unfortunately, I forgot to record the files app when it was showing a black screen this recording shows the current issue where the files app is difficult to use because tapping locations such as "On My iPhone", "iCloud Drive", and "Recently Deleted" does not open them
