Perhaps those weren't the filenames, then.

Is anyone else having issues with Navigate From Maps, specifically in conjunction with TomTom? When I put in an address and tell it to navigate there, TomTom opens it up but won't go to the specific address, just a random point on that street.

For example, pulling up "123 Main Street, Mytown" and pressing "Navigate here with TomTom" will just end with the directions at "Main Street", nowhere near where I may want to end up. Newly jailbroken 4S here, although I was having the exact same issue with my jailbroken 4 last year. The changelog for the app claims it was last updated in December to add iOS5 support.

I've been using OpenNotifier without issue. It has both of your desired options, as well as the ability to assign status bar icons to any other app that has notifications.

Those of you with SiriToggle (the legit Big Boss version)

half the time the brightness thing doesn't work. I will say poo poo like:

Reduce brightness to 20%.

or

Lower Brightness to 20%.

It brings up Wolfram Alpha lookups on what 20% 'means'.

The App-Launching and Wifi enabling/disabling, etc, work pretty much all the time though.


Anyone else getting similar oddness with the brightness thing?

I don't have tomtom installed anymore but navigate from maps works perfectly with navigon, (which I prefer.)

Now that there's an A5 jailbreak, will it be possible for someone to create a siri port for non-4S phones (or iPods) that doesn't require setting up proxies and such? I don't know a lot about how siri works, so it could easily be something that's just downright impossible, but I seem to recall someone saying that something like that would become possible once the A5 jailbreak was released.

Jailbreaking just doesn't like me! :(

Everything was working good for a while, then while trying to fix some settings in BiteSMS to stop it from being so irritating and taking away my notifications and stuff, my phone respringed and then froze on my lock screen for a good 2 or 3 minutes.

Forced a shut-down, and now my phone can't get past the white Apple logo when trying to reboot. It's meant to be untethered so I shouldn't have to use my PC should I?

edit: Haha and just as soon as I hit Submit Reply, the phone boots! I guess the jailbreak just makes it exceedingly slow to come back up.
Well, I may as well post some content then. Is there a good tweak that can be put into SBSettings to turn off the vibrate when I have the physical switch set to Silent? Basically a night mode so it won't buzz and wake me up while I'm asleep. Auto-dimming the brightness would be cool too, but optional.

edit2: And so long as I'm posting, BiteSMS is being a pain in the dick with disabling all my Message notifications and not letting me see the Badges in my actual Messages app. Is there some other (free) app I can use for a Quick-Reply box that doesn't come with all the other junk?

iScheduler allows you to set all sorts of settings and toggles on a schedule - perfect for disabling vibrate at night, as well as lowering brightness I believe.

iScheduler looks awesome but I'd much rather those things be a toggle rather than at a set time, since I don't want it turning off vibrate on nights where I'm up late.

m0isty posted:

I just get annoyed that it seems like every time I launch BiteSMS, notification banners for new SMSs seem to become disabled and it will now only vibrate once instead of twice when I get a new message. I guess I just don't like apps that, when launched, start changing all my settings without telling me about it or making it easy to switch it back.

edit: Basically, all I want is a wee quick-reply box that can handle SMS and iMessage and nothing more. If the app can do other things, I want to be able to disable it all and keep using Messages like normal (with notification banners, maybe a status icon at most) but with the advantage of quick-reply if accessing the text through a notification. Any suggestions? Or maybe an ideal way to set up BiteSMS to do this?

Not really. There's Frash, which works the way Flash does on Android (flash objects show as big grey squares that you can tap to activate), but 90% of content, including all video players and games, fail to work and the stuff that does work has like a 50% chance of crashing Safari.

There's a browser out there that handles flash video but in a really clunky way and doesn't work with any non-video flash content.

The swipe up from the bottom of the screen gestures are really useful. I have one side assigned to show the native app switcher and one side assigned to a tweak called LastApp which lets you switch quickly back and forth between your two last used apps. Feels very natural and well-suited for one-handed operation.

Also, I find that assigning hold volume up/down to play/pause or next track is really useful for when your phone is in your pocket. Another nice tweak is SpringFlash which turns the flash on/off to use as a flashlight through an Activator action (no need for unlocking and using a separate app).

On my iPhone I set:
- "From Anywhere":
- - "long hold power button" = springflash (turn on LED flash for flashlight, must install springflash from cydia first)
- - "triple press home button" = open camera app

On my iPad I set:
- "From Anywhere"
- - "power connected" = launch Guardian Eyewitness (app)

I don't use anything else, but as you can see you can set anything to do anything, so it's pretty handy if you're into automating tasks and saving a few clicks. If you don't care, ignore it; you don't have to use it. :shobon:

Quick note for anyone with white icons:

I got the white icons today, googled about it and saw a post that said "download and install anything from Cydia and it'll fix it". I opened Cydia and updated 3G Unrestrictor and when I respring the icons were fixed.

YMMV, obviously.

I've only encountered it once or twice while installing new stuff, but a respring always fixes it.

Also, SiriToggles seems to understand "Restart" but so far it just seems to crash into safe mode instead of actually rebooting or respringing.

Action Menu Plus: adds different options to the copy/paste menu like clipboard history, tweet, word lookup in google/wikipedia, and my favorite: copy all

Infinifolders: removes folder app limit

iEagleEye: perform actions on images in Safari like Google Images reverse image lookup, TinEye, and best of all ImgOPS for quick rehosting.

Restore as a new device and then jailbreak and then sync all your poo poo over again. That's what I had to do. You'll have to re-sync everything but them's the breaks.

Not sure if restoring from a backup fixes it. I just did the above.

Enjoying all the nice new benefits of jailbreaking and haven't noticed any severe battery drain yet, but it's the first day so let's see how that goes.

I've just installed Winterboard with Typophone 4 as a lockscreen but is that going to be much of a battery drain? I'm not gonna be skinning anything else on the phone, just the lockscreen, but every little bit of battery helps so if it's likely to cut hours off my daily usage then I'll go back to unskinned.

Actually, for that matter, if I have Winterboard installed but no themes selected, I assume it won't drain my battery at all, or is still there chugging away in the background?
