I've certainly used it way more than I did on my 3GS. :smug:

Is there some way to force dropbox to download all files so I can view them offline?

Edit: Ended up just buying a 99 cent app from iTunes called Drop Manager.

iBooks Fix2 available on Insanelyi's repo fixes issues iBooks has with the 5.0.1 jailbreak. Just tested it on my jb'd 5.0.1 on a iPod Touch and a friend's 3GS, can read books now where before it would crash and go back to the desktop.

Edit: MobileSubstrate and Activator also just got 5.0.1 updates so look at the Changes button and make sure you install the latest there too. Running with these updates as of two hours ago and everything's smooth as downing a bottle of Jim Beam's.

Do you know if the iBooks fix causes syncing issues? I heard some of the fixes mess that up.

Is there a tweak available that makes it so that it forces the caller ID picture to be displayed in a thumbnail rather than full screen when you call someone or someone calls you?

It depends on how you added the image. If you set the image for the contact via the iPhone, it displays full screen. If you set the image from your computer contacts program and then sync, it displays the thumbnail.

(I'm OCD about little details like this and it drove me crazy trying to figure it out for the first couple months I had my phone)

I've tried just about every combination there is and the only one that works is using my Address Book to sync my contacts. I'd rather sync with iCloud but syncing with iCloud makes it use some bizarre combination of contact pictures in thumbnail and fullscreen form. Just figured I'd give up and look for a Cydia tweak. :(

Strange. I've been syncing via iCloud (MobileMe actually) from my contacts app and never noticed any problems. Might be a bit of work but maybe try deleting the offending contacts entirely and then readding them.

You mean the dpkg/apt thing I guess? I was hoping that 5.0 -> 5.01 was minor enough to do some kind of incremental update/JB combo to avoid having to un-lazy myself. No such luck, but not a big deal, thanks.

edit: well at least the update to 5.01 didn't kill anything except the JB and JB apps, so I can skip that one restore step. :shobon:

edit2: well all went well, but the cydia icon turned white. I "fixed" that using method A followed by B as explained here: http://www.limera1n.cc/2011/12/fix-white-cydia-icon-after-501-5.html

But, now the cydia icon has disappeared (though it is still findable in spotlight, and runs fine) and in the spot where cydia once was is the camera app icon ... which is now all white! :iiam:

Camera and cydia still work, so no biggie, but I seem to recall there was some icon-cache-clearing-resetting command one could run by ssh. But my googling isn't finding it. Any ideas?

edit3: removing cydia app "semitether" fixed it. Of course I don't need it anymore anyway.

So I just got around to jailbreaking iOS 5.0.1, and I re-downloaded Snappy which I used to use and it just crashes SpringBoard if I try to start it. Please, CyDelete won't let me delete it. What gives?

Snappy is a bit surplus to requirements with ios5 isn't it? Anyway, try going into the manage>packages section in cydia and uninstall it from there.

So you were semitethered on 5.0, ran the 5.0.1 OTA update, re-jailbroke (untethered) with redsn0w, deleted semi-tether, and all was well?

I am semitethered on 5.0 and would love to go untethered on 5.0.1 but I am without my main PC for 2 weeks so I can't do the full restore route till then....

I'm just afraid it won't boot after upgrading to 5.0.1 before re-jailbreaking with all my mobilesubstrate poo poo installed.

Has anyone else done the 5.0.1 update OTA on a 5.0 semi-tethered jailbreak? One confirmation that it works will make me feel allll better.

Hey guys, so I really hope this question isn't asked too much around here. I've done some googling, and read the OPs of the multiple related threads in this forum.

I'm looking into buying a used iPhone 3g to be used in Germany. What do I need to watch out for? From what I understand it should be an AT&T phone not Verizon since the latter doesn't have a SIM card.

Second,it can't be upgraded past 4.0.1 otherwise it can't be unlocked.

Am I correct in these assumptions, and is this all I should watch out for?

If you make a custom baseband before upgrading you can go to 5.0.1. Everything else is right.

I considered trying it to give my wife's 4 access to my 4s siri, but after reading the directions and hearing about all the pains in asses involved, I decided against it. If I didn't have a 4s to use for the key I wouldn't have even considered it. YMMV.

I found it to be pretty simple to set up...the only issue I have is outside access to my VPN so I can use it wherever haha. It's more of a novelty thing really. While there are some pretty sweet plugins, I don't have a use for any. I made one that just spits out random racist jokes though, more for shock value when I show it to company. When a 4S jailbreak comes out though, things will become very interesting.

And I can't get it to work on my freakin' iPad. Spire's all sorts of screwed up on it. Yes, I know it's not technically compatible with it, but I wanted to at least try damnit!

You absolutely do not want to use any public host. Siri sends a ton of personal info, including your current location, and it's trivial to gather that data.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

I just jailbroke my mother's iphone 4 (5.0.1, untethered jailbreak), and everything went fine until I installed installous, at which point after respringing everything was gone. Like, everything, just gone. The only thing left on the phone was newsstand, which doesn't even work.

I know installous is kind of grey area to talk about, but I was just wondering if this was something known in the new jailbreak, like the developer put it in as an antipiracy measure or something. Also, to restore her stuff (she did a backup just before I started) do I tell iTunes to restore, or just sync it?

I've got a 4S and an iPad 1. I'm running Siriproxy in a Ubuntu 11.10 VM. Specifically, I'm running https://github.com/westbaer/SiriProxy that fork of it, because it stores the 4S' auth keys for ~24hrs until they become invalid. It doesn't send them anywhere, just stores them locally (you can check the code yourself). That's required for non-4S devices to use it.

I pretty much followed that guide as it's self-explanatory and for the most part you can straight up copy+paste in the commands to Terminal, but it'd be advantageous if you have at least a little knowledge of linux command-line.

Sort of, the thing someone said earlier about reverting to an old app version, but I'm not going to sit here and bullshit you by saying that's what I installed it for. I'm not going to keep talking about this because I don't want to be banned, though, I only mentioned it because of that old blog post about the hacker considering blocking it and I was wondering if that was what had happened.

It is all I have ever used it for. I really wish Apple had a legit way to get previous versions of apps. I am still desperately clinging on to my Twitter and Pulse versions since the new ones are awful.

I guess you could use it to get apps pulled from the app store as well. That is a grey area as well since you can't legally buy it anymore.

Let's not make this a piracy derail like every time it gets brought up though.
