Can you be more specific? Only thing I can think of is a combination of disabling notifications for said app and maybe using backgrounder to set the app to never stay open?

To elaborate, I want X app to think it's Offline (or block it from data usage) without actually going through the extra actions of turning Airplane Mode on or disabling Data.

Some apps that would otherwise have no reason to be accessing wireless data like to load annoying advertisements or badges for news items I don't care about (local notifications which cant be disabled by the user are especially horrible). I don't ever want to see these things.

Things like: The developers of X app just made Y app and want me to go buy it.

X developer advertises for Z developer's totally unrelated and uninteresting content.

I also don't want any app mining my data and sending home care packages with all my :tinfoil: etc

I'm picky and intolerant, yes, but I don't think it's entirely unreasonable.

Sounds promising. I'll look that up. Thanks!

Edit 2: Gosh, this is spammy. It does what I want, but boy oh boy do I need to learn how to use it. Rather than asking me about every loving thing, I'd rather just tell it the few things I want it to block.

iOS 5.0.1 is out.

My iPad 2 is still on 4.3.3 and I don't have a SHSH Blob. Should I update to 5.0 while I still can and hope that a JB will be available soon? Or keep 4.3.3 for now and hope that there will be a working JB for 5.0.x? :ohdear:

You can (and should) save your 5.0 SHSH blob (and any other blob Apple will sign) with TinyUmbrella, without updating to that version of iOS. There's no reason to update to it right now. Also, one jailbreak already works on 5.0.1 (Sn0wbreeze). Granted, it's not an iPad 2 jailbreak, but all the SHSH stuff still applies.

I was under the impression that 5.0+ SHSH blobs were useless. Everything I've read suggests that while you can still go back to 4.x.x if you have the blobs, you will not be able to restore 5.x after Apple stops signing it. Is that incorrect?

<edit>

iphone-dev.org posted:

If you want the upcoming untethered jailbreak, I strongly suggest...

if you have an iPad2 you get it on 5.0 firmware while Apple is still signing 5.0. Once Apple stops signing 5.0, YOU CANNOT UPDATE TO 5.0 and will be forced to 5.0.1 (or the current firmware)

If you have an iPhone 4S, do not update to 5.0.1 - There is NO WAY TO COME BACK TO 5.0

If you have a iPhone4 or 3GS new bootrom you get it on 5.0 and do not update. You can still restore to 4.x.x firmware IF YOU HAVE THE HASHES. IF you upgrade to 5.0.1, YOU CANNOT GET BACK TO 5.0

iOS 5 does not work in the same way. They have not come up with or released a solution to save your SHSH for it. It might not even be SHSH anymore, I have not read up on it much beyond the fact that it is different and does not work.

If you're wanting to jailbreak, I would highly recommend you do not upgrade until more is known. You won't be able to restore to 5.0, and unless your device has an iOS 4 SHSH you will be stuck with 5.0.1.

iOS 5 still does SHSH. It's just they're worhtless at the moment, which is unfortunate.

I would still want them backed up, in case some new break-through happens that allows downgrading again.

Doesn't work for my 4s either. The tinyumbrella website implicitly says onlt the 5.0 betas are supported, which would rule out any 4s or newer ipad2. It doesn't seem to save my wife's shsh for her 4 on 5.0 final.

I realize when I OTA update to 5.0.1 I'll lose my JB, but if I update OTA and then rejailbreak using redsn0w and then boot tethered again will it save my jailbreak settings or do I have to redo everything like I was jailbreaking a fresh OS?

I haven't kept up to date with TinyUmbrella. I installed it and ran it back when I installed 5.0 on my iPad. Now all of a sudden when I have TinyUmbrella interrogate Cydia for my SHSH's I only get the 4.x SHSHs back. Is this normal? I know I ran Cydia on my iPad at LEAST once after I installed 5.0 so the SHSH for that should be somewhere.

5.0.1 basically removed any need I had to jailbreak after they brought back iPad1 multitask gestures, but I'm not ruling out jailbreaking again at some future time for some reason, so I'd like to know I have all that stuff backed up.

iOS 5 uses a different method of checking if a restore is eligible, making SHSHs useless at the moment.

You'd be wise to email them to yourself every time you save them anyway, in case something happens to Cydia.

Yeah, I wish I'd thought of this when I apparently had my 5.0 SHSH's but I reinstalled since.

I clearly remember Cydia saving them, so I don't know if they're just not feeding them back to me because they're not relevant or what :(

So this has happened a few times on my iPhone 4 running 4.3.3 JB in the past, and I just took a screen of it today. Has anyone ever had this show up on their device? Granted, the iTunes/Stocks/Messages icons I can understand as they were set to be hidden but those others (AdSheet/FieldTest/IntelliContainer/iOS Diagnostics)...what is this all about?



edit: just an FYI, I have no hacked apps or anything installed on the phone. My google searches for this keep sending me to random non-US sites that are no use to me as they are not in English.

Tethered jailbreak isn't that much of a concern. Especially with things like semi-tether.

I mean, how often do you reboot your phone?

Yeah, but it's an iPad 2. And apparently even r3dsn0\/\/ doesn't work for that. I think I'll keep waiting. (and not update any further than 5.0)

I've been running the tethered JB for 5.0 since 5.0 came out. I have yet to have an issue with having to reboot or the battery dying. I just watch my phone when it gets low on charge and make sure I get it on a charger if I need to. It really hasn't even been any different than when I was untethered JB.

Dumb question, but for tethered jailbreaks do you have to connect for resprings as well?

If not, maybe I'll give one of the tethered jailbreaks a try some time since I rarely reboot (still using 4.2.1 and it would be nice to try 5.0)

edit - nevermind, I found a post earlier in the thread that mentioned respringing is fine. Maybe i'll give iOS 5 a shot sometime soon

I'm semitethered on an iPhone 4 iOS 5.0 with no problems. I haven't had to reboot in the first 10 days or so, minus the initial reboots after installing lots of stuff

Just remember to check the status of the semi-tether every now and then since it seems to randomly deactivate
