This. Even having used (and still using) Activator, I don't know how I ever lived without Zephyr.

Also those looking for additional Siri functionality AssistantExtensions (free) is fantastic, much more advanced and reliable than SiriToggles. Allows toggles, launching apps, send tweets, search YouTube + more even from your lock screen.

More info and video here:

This is indeed awesome and way better than Siri toggles. The Alice chatbot built in is ridiculously hilarious. Also looking forward to trying to installing SBSettings TetherMe toggle so I can have Siri turn it on and off. At least until mywi on demand gets fixed. Also zephyr.

Only thing I'm lacking is larger fonts for safari (I'm old and blind :( )

Corona 1.0.7 is out.

This is for all 5.0.1 jailbreaks, regardless of "method" used to jailbreak (3GS, 4, 4S, iPad 2, etc). It fixes things like iBooks DRM decoding issues...!

I just flipped through a few pages of Winnie the Pooh to test. Everything loaded fine. This is the first it's worked jailbroken since 4.2.1. :3:

Edit :siren:
Old Bootrom 3GS users, do NOT install Corona at this time. Some issue was found with it that causes problems.

----------

Questions I will never expect to get answers from:

* Which caused iBooks DRM issues - the jailbreak itself, or the Corona untether? I briefly used an iPhone 4 tethered at 5.0.1, but never tried iBooks with it (plus, the user did not have any DRM-protected books).

* If Corona causes problems on old bootrom 3GS devices (and Corona isn't even needed for the untethered jailbreak of an old bootrom 3GS), would a Corona-less old bootrom 3GS still have iBooks DRM issues?

Android's G+ Instant Upload feature was really handy, and is one of the things I miss most about my old Android phone. Is there a jailbreak app that will do the same thing, that is, automatically upload photos to Picasa as soon as a picture is taken?

DropPhox almost does that. Dropbox instead of Picasa.

White Icons are still an issue. Got them today. Pretty much any time you install something from Cydia or do an upgrade to an existing package.

I didn't see a Corona 1.0.7. I did see a Corona 5.0.1 I think...

I'm in the Springs, how much better is Sprint's coverage so far? Specifically, does it poo poo the bed on the way to Manitou?


e.pie posted:

Nope, works great in Manitou too, and the shopping centers off of Powers where data NEVER worked. And out at Schriever where you couldn't even get edge service with AT&T I get 3G and almost full bars with Sprint.

Now that said, the data speeds on average are about half of what I was getting on AT&T when I actually had good service, except good service locations were few and far between. But I'll gladly take slightly slower in more places than fast in a few and unusable in most. Besides it's still plenty fast enough for Pandora and Netflix.

Just ran this sitting at Hell's Kitchen in Manitou.

Don't feel bad, I am in Kirkland WA which is just over the lake from Seattle and my data speeds/call drop issues are just terrible. Whenever I go back to Chicago I never experience anything like this. There are times where I have to shut off 3G just so I can receive calls at my condo.

Edit: even better proof is that I was only able to post this because I am at my neighbors condo who just so happens to have an AT&T microcell router. Seriously, Seattle? I would expect better.

Probably been asked before, but what's are the best lockscreen themes around that work on the 4S?

I'm specifically looking for something that would be very minimalist when I have no new alerts, but when I DO get alerts, it would display them on the lockscreen. Stuff like emails, calendar alerts, texts, etc.

I used to use LockInfo on my old phone, but I like the idea of not always having visible bars on the lockscreen when there are no alerts to deal with. If I have to have a cluttered lockscreen at all times, I'll probably just switch to IntelliScreenX since it looks nicer anyway. Definitely not going to use Typophone.

I bought IntelliscreenX but find that it is almost ALWAYS missing. When I restart my phone, or respring, it's there, and is fine... but then it's gone shortly after. I'm wondering if there's a conflict with BiteSMS or something. It's a pain.

That's true I guess, but it doesn't really change the size of the 'slide to unlock' or the info section at the top by default, does it? I was hoping for something with small versions of both of those sections.

You can also choose what sections appear, and hide the slide to unlock entirely, which is how I like it. Mess around in the lock info settings and you should be able to get it how you like it.

Found my own answer by googling:

quote:

"Untethered FIX:
ayeayre is right the this is a symptom of music not being found when the app tries to play it.
If you have itunes match and some time you can fix this issue without having to restore or re-sync. Just turn on itunes match Settings>Music
then set Show All Music to off. This will display only what has been downloaded to your phone. Then go into your Music app, sort by Artist and start swiping to delete. Repeat this for Albums/Songs if you have any that don't get out with the other deletions.
Now, you should have 0 songs...
go back into Settings>Music
turn off iTunes Match, then turn it back on. Turn 'Show All Music' on
go back into Music app; at this point it will start pulling your iTunes available songs. Download a song/album.

cydia hits a bunch of different sources sequentially, one of them is still getting hammered with the influx of new devices being jailbroken.

i kinda wish it would display which one is lagging so i could go disable it. i also wish it would fetch the pkg list updates in parallel rather than sequentially, but since it's basically a pretty GUI on apt i doubt they have the chops to make that happen.

90% of that is lovely themes you don't care about. Go to "sections" and turn off all the "themes" categories and it'll be way faster. And it'll not pollute your searches with shitloads of shitthemes.

NES.emu and GBC.emu? They are by the same author, but cost $6 and $5.
I'd like to know if they are good before dropping the cash on them.
