Can someone tell me what app/mod I need to display the date at the top next to the time, an a percentage battery in the top right indicator? I used to have them but I don't recall how.

I think Apple has decided that the best way to kill jailbreaking is to cut off its head (and then hire its head to work for them). It'll be interesting to see if people continue to develop jailbreaks after iOS5 is released.

I think I could ALMOST give up JB, except I *really* love 3G Unrestrictor. I'd lament the loss of BiteSMS functionality, but yeah, bottom line, 3G Unrestrictor is the poo poo.

biteSMS makes a jailbreak necessary. Also root and ssh access is pretty nice to just have if you ever want it.

maduin posted:I think Apple has decided that the best way to kill jailbreaking is to cut off its head (and then hire its head to work for them). I totally think it's a smart move for Apple. I just formatted my phone fresh today and decided to finally not give a poo poo about jailbreaking. Everything is just fine, and even losing BiteSMS isn't that bad - it just switches panes to Messages.app, I write my message, and then go back to whatever I was doing. It wasn't a problem at all, and I think I had it hyped in my head that BiteSMS was --sooo-- much better. After watching the iOS5 video on Apple.com, I'm even more convinced that although there isn't a "reply inside an app" function, the fact that it pops up on the top of the screen so I know if it's urgent or not is good enough. Add to the fact that the camera button is now on the lock screen, so I don't need to worry about holding Home for 3 seconds (which sometimes doesn't work, or works when I don't want it to) and a Goon made app that turns the flashlight on in 2 seconds, I just don't give a poo poo. SBSettings is great, but I don't use it on a day to day basis, so whatever. I dunno, maybe it's just the "younger" nerd dying in me. I'm getting less and less interested in tweaking/tinkering/missing out on updates because I have to wait for pro-bono hackers to implement these features, and I Just Want Things To Work. Going to a fresh install with only Apple approved software/hooks/whatever else is really nice. Knowing I can just update iTunes or my phone as soon as iOS5 comes out is also awesome.

I like the idea of using customized icons and lockscreens though -- losing that sucks because I eventually get bored of the same old poo poo all the time. Changing the background doesn't help.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:I honestly would switch to a Droid if I didn't have the phone and SMS Google Voice extensions. My friend, co-worker(s), and I couldn't even consider using anything Android. We use our devices (iPhones and iPads) for work (much of it remote management), and the absolute horrible VPN support in Android is an immediate show-stopper. If you want a toy that you can tweak and hack 24/7, then go with Android. If you want something that "just works" you have to go with iOS. It's not a matter of personal preference, Android simply doesn't even compare to iOS at the moment (we've even had meetings at work discussing this issue). The smooth interface, speedy performance, system stability, and amazing battery life of iOS devices compared to Android are pretty sweet, as well. Hackery through jailbreaking iOS has always been the icing on the cake. Even with the loss of jailbreaking, iOS is still what most people (by far) would be happier with. Not everyone wants a shittier device just for the "freedom" to spend hours loading custom ROMs and searching Google all day on how to do or fix something. MuscleNerd posted this on Twitter: quote:Will be pushing out a major redsn0w feature upgrade before my trip to Korea: http://is.gd/PMAdT1 (and look, no IPSW selection button!) He mentions the lack of IPSW (it downloads only tiny bits of required data from Apple, as needed), but the big thing seems to be the "uploads to Cydia" functionality for local SHSH copies. I had been waiting for this for a long time. Cydia had been missing about half a dozen of my SHSH blobs. I had the unfortunate accident of losing all my local 4.3.3 backups for all the iPad 2s that I manage. Querying Cydia resulted in getting just a 4.3.1 blob for one of the iPad 2s (which is useless). No other SHSH blob has made it to Cydia for my iPads. If something like this redsn0w had come out a month ago, I'd already have ALL my SHSH blobs uploaded to Cydia. I have a lot that Cydia doesn't have.

Since tethered jailbreak enables custom software on the ios, including low level stuff like afc2add and appsync, etc, how come tethered jailbreaks can't enable the further upgrade to untethered jailbreaks?

There's some cursed encrypted chip that only allows signed code on boot. A jailbreak is just cracking something to get root once the device has booted. It's a whole new thing to crack the boot process that goes deeper than simply rooting the device.

Like Xenomorph said, there are two distinct stages to the security on the phone. Causing shady stuff to happen at boot when plugged in to a computer (the tethered part) is apparently a totally different kind of effort than causing shady stuff to happen after you have control of the bootup process. The tethered part is I think more of a function of hardware which Apple can't fix without releasing a new phone model (or possible some kind of low-level firmware update?). The untethered part Apple can fix any time they like with an OS update. withak fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Sep 17, 2011 |

So I jailbroke my iphone last night, thanks to the OP it was very easy. I have a question regarding backups, though. If I back up my iphone now that it's jailbroken, does it just backup the non-cydia stuff? So I can backup any time now, and if I want to remove the jailbreak I just do a restore?

All the JB data gets backed up along with official apps. A restore will un-JB but there will still be JB-related data left behind. The only way to un-JB without leaving traces is to wipe the phone and reinstall everything from scratch without using your backup.

It probably depends on what the service is. If you're having some hardware issues then just delete Cydia.app or hide it in some folder on the third page or something and make sure you don't have any obvious JB software running like SBSettings or some custom theme or something. When I took my phone in for a hardware issue they didn't really look at the OS in any detail that I could see. If you think they'll be poking around the OS then sure, it might be safer to just wipe it stock. All that being said, it can't hurt to play it safe. Remember that your data is just a restore away so if you're going in for service you might as well just roll back to stock. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Sep 20, 2011 |

Quickly turn wifi, bluetooth, location services on/off are what I mainly used it for. If you need to do a quick respring it's good for that too. Plus there are extensions for it that add to it, like turning off certain jailbreak tweaks like Activator, etc. It's actually one of the few things I miss on iOS5.

Warranty is probably the last thing you need to worry about right now  Also you can always restore your phone by doing a DFU restore with stock firmware. If you can't do that, they it probably means you have a bigger problem and unlikely for them to verify your jailbreaking status anyway.

But, I thought iTunes won't let me restore 4.2.1 unless I have the SHSH blob and my phone is not currently jailbroken so I cannot get it. Edit: I'm going to try using PwnageTool for 4.2.1 before I ask for help again. Edit2: Yeah, I get the same error for jailbreaking 4.2.1 in PwnageTool.
