Could you build this?
No Creating a customized dock, menu bar, and windowing system for jailbroken iPads requires low-level Objective-C/Swift reverse-engineering and hooking into private SpringBoard and UIKit frameworks.
What it would actually take: Built using the Theos development environment, Logos hooking syntax, and MobileSubstrate/ElleKit running on rootless jailbreaks. The hard part is reverse-engineering Apple's closed SpringBoard window management routines, private app life-cycle APIs, and touch-event routing without causing kernel panics or SpringBoard crashes.
