I would be wary of any service offering to insert your IMEI into Apple's official database of unlocked iPhones.

It looks like these guys have been doing it for a year, but only just recently added AT&T, which is going to add a lot of attention and is very easily spotted since AT&T don't offer an unlocking service at all.

Similar sites have shut down (and had every phone they entered subsequently removed and relocked.)

I would gladly pay $200 to unlock my phone... if I knew it was a legit, permanent service.
AT&T already has my money, and a signed contract. I don't want to stress out if I need to travel. Spend $500 extra on a phone just in case I need another country's SIM card? Spend extra in roaming? Spend extra in roaming/travel packages when I travel? Rent a phone in another country?

gently caress them. These companies do so well, and they hurt customers in every way they can.

As of right now there is not an ability to add custom toggles, but i reckon that will be in a future update.

What is the deal with Deck? As far as I can tell it is gimped SBSettings that can launch apps, but only from the home screen (where, you know, I can already launch apps). It has toggles but, again, they are only accessible from the home screen. Plus, it costs infinitely more than SBSettings' $0.00.

Am I missing some killer functionality here?

Note: Deck works exclusively on the homescreen. It will not activate anywhere else (for now).

I'm assuming that is correct, since I haven't downloaded it myself.

Awesome. Is it a whole different story (most likely) for the iPad 3's because the chip is A5x or is it still likely the same exploit because it is fundamentally still an A5? I know none of us know... just conversational speculation...

What I used:
RetinaPad - forces iPhone apps to use high resolution resources.
BytaFont - change fonts.
KillBackground - this was mine and my wife's favorite tweak. It closes all background apps at once and clears the task switcher.
WinterBoard - change various sound or graphic elements.

I got one called BadgeClear that lets you remove them. Works great, you just hold down an icon to get them to jiggle, then double tap any jiggling icon, and you'll be given the option to turn off those little red badges for that icon.

The reset all settings button doesn't work on the 5.0.1 jailbreak.. Not sure why but I just upgraded our old iPads to 5.1 and left the set up screen on.

Tethering talk: are the only options still just MyWi or TetherMe? I'm going to risk using one or two with my new iPad for some light safari browsing and maybe maps (aka only poo poo I can do on the iPhone as well) and hope AT&T doesn't throw a poo poo fit.

And as far as pairing goes, would it be better (battery wise) to go through wifi or Bluetooth?

I tether my iPad to my iPhone with mywi quite a bit. AT&T won't care unless you're torrenting or something like that. But for normal usage they won't care, I don't think they can even tell that you're tethering to be honest.

And I think Bluetooth uses the least battery. Whenever I tether I always use Bluetooth. It's just easier and you don't need to bother with a wifi password or anyone else hopping on your connection.

I feel you. I was in the UK last month and brought along my old iPhone 4 and asked the Apple store there about unlocking it and they said they can't, company policy since it was an AT&T phone.

After I left London I thought about taking my 4S back there on an upcoming trip, setting up an appointment at the genius bar, and then breaking my 4S on the concrete just before the appointment to replace it under Applecare+ since all iPhones available at UK apple stores are unlocked. Would this work though? I have no idea.

Me as well. I figured I'd be able to do a restore, but it looks like iTunes will only let me restore with 5.1. I'd really like to keep it at 5.0.1 so it can remain jailbreakable....but it doesn't seem possible.

Looks like my Settings badge question was answered just above.

I've got another problem! I have 5 apps with available updates, but they're lovely updates that add stupid features or straight up remove functionality. Is there any way I can remove them from the update list, somehow? I guess I can replace them (them being the apps I have already legally purchased or downloaded) filez versions, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.

I miss using the Update All button. I hate how the app store closes out whenever you buy/update something.

Has anyone ever tried iControl? I was wondering how effective using an app like this to increase battery life. From what I can tell, it allows you to force the phone to turn off 3G when locked, but allowing exceptions if you are streaming Pandora, etc. (there is another app called Auto3G but it isn't updated to work with 5.0+). Just would like to know if this is actually helpful before I buy it.

I just bought springtomize 2. loving awesome, it replaced five icon dock and switcher with increased functionality and finally removed the battery icon from my status bar, which is something I've wanted to do since 3.1.2.

Tons of customization and the online manual is well-written which is becoming very rare in jailbreak apps.
