iPhone 4S / iOS 6.1, OS X version of jailbreak worked flawlessly and took about 5 minutes.

Same device/iOS on Snow Leopard (1.6.8). Haven't tried any Cydia stuff yet but absolutely no problems. That was incredibly easy.

Jailbroke my OTA updated iPad to see if it would have any problems. I have a backup so it doesn't really matter if it does. So far so good. Jailbreak was completely painless, been playing around on the iPad for the last 20 minutes and had no issues. Well, everything I try to install in Cydia seems to timeout, but I imagine their servers are being hammered.

Cydia's getting hammered by all the jailbreaking folks like yourself hitting it all at once.

Edit: Jailbreak was smooth as butter. The last jailbreak that was this easy was the PDF exploit used by the jailbreakme website.

Every nerd with an iPhone on the planet is jailbreaking and hammering Cydia's server(s) right now. Expect not being able to do anything with Cydia for the next 48 hours or so.

Personally, iPhone 4 6.1 jailbreak went smoothly for me! Looking forward to FakeClockUp again!

My jailbreak seems a bit flaky after putting it through some heavy use.. have had at least three sudden restarts into Safe Mode and twice it's been stuck on the Apple logo after a reboot. Will probably see some revisions to the jailbreak in the coming days.

I plan on jailbreaking my 4 later, and I have a couple of questions.

1: What's a good Winterboard theme that emphasizes the wallpaper? I have tons of nice wallpapers but I don't want them to be obscured by icons and folders.

2: Can you change a theme's wallpaper like on a non-jailbroken device, or do you have to do something else?

I've used Glasklart to great satisfaction in the past. The icons are all semitransparent and uncolored, so the wallpaper is almost completely visible. And yes, the wallpaper should be totally changeable. Glasklart comes with one by default, I think, but it should be disable-able in settings.

PS, great username.

So having been out of the JB game for a while: SBSettings or NCSettings - Any clear choice between the two? Last I remember SBS needed Activator which was tied to some painless but annoying issues as far as UI responsiveness. NCS on the other hand had a nice/slick minimal UI that took very little notification real estate.

Are there any whizbang must-haves for jailbroken 6.1? Or I guess announced stuff that may be cool? I haven't jailbroken in a couple of years, as the notifications on the lockscreen were my primary reason for jailbreaking. I don't need tethering, and never messed with sbsettings or whatever its called. So I'm trying to figure out what I may be missing out on.

Even if it does work, you run a risk with this method of not having the proper AP Tickets backed up on Cydia. This will matter when the 6.1 signing window closes and you ever need to restore a copy of 6.1.

Personally, I would just follow the correct procedure and restore 6.1 via iTunes. To each their own though.

A lot. This needs to be in the OP. It's like you people need to be convinced to jailbreak.


3G Unrestrictor/MY3g - gets rid of the silly "WiFi only" limitations of many apps. If I have nearly-unlimited data and a 10 Mbps+ cellular connection, why force me to download everything on the lovely 0.5 Mbps public WiFi I'm sharing with a hundred people???
biteSMS/irealsms - Respond to a text from lockscreen or while in any app. Among a ton of other things. I purchased irealsms years ago when it was the go-to one. Now it seems like bitesms is a lot more popular.
BytaFont - to pick different fonts, and WinterBoard to pick different icons. It can give an OS that has looked the same since 2007 a fresh appearance.
CyDelete - Delete cydia apps like an apple app (jiggle, click x, etc)
f.lux - Adjusts light levels throughout the day for a more pleasurable view(It's originally an awesome computer program that you should use)
Five Icon Dock
FolderEnhancer
iFile
LockInfo
MyWii - Tetherning. A word of caution for AT&T users, though. They will take away your unlimited data
SBSettings - Swipe title bar (Or whatever you call where the time is) to bring a menu to do multiple things like turn data off/on, wifi, go into airport mode, etc. A lot of apps have toggles that you can add to this as well. It also does a lot of other things. Everyone jailbroken phone should have it
ncsettings - like sbsettings. I haven't used it yet personally. Some people like it better apparently it's a much cleaner look
Zephyr - Swipe up to simulate hitting the home button. Swipe left to right to go between background apps. I can only imagine how much better this will work on the iphone 5. It lagged a bit on the 4.
Fakeclockup - Speed up the iphone animations making your iphone seem like it's superwhizbangfast. Worked great on the 4 can only imagine it on the 5. 1.4x seems to be a good ip5 speed
Winterboard - If you don't know what this is don't jailbreak your phone.
MapsOpener - causes all navigation links to open in Google Maps instead of Apple Maps.
NoSpot - to disable the Spotlight page if you never use it. I've been using iOS since mid-2009. After all that time, the only way I end up on the Spotlight page is by accident. NoSpot lets me turn it off.
Cyntact - for adding photos to my Contact list. It's easier for me to quickly find someone by picture, sometimes.
Barrel - for awesome icon transitions. When you swipe between pages it allows you customize different animations for the icons. It's actually pretty cool. Probably check out a youtube video of it.
Action menu - Adds additional options to the copy/paste bit for the iphone.
Activator - Pretty much endless options. Hit the volume up button to open x app, double click power button to open this app, etc. This in combination with springflash allows you to open the flashlight when your phone is locked,
Lastapp - Quickly switch previous app
SmallBanners - Makes banner notifications one-line height
WiCarrier - Shows current Wifi SSID in place of carrier
AutoProtect - Allows you to bypass Passcode on home wifi
ShowCase - Shows lowercase letters in keyboard when relevant
killBackground - makes low-memory devices way better. Android has always had Task Killers, and now Android 4+ has a CLOSE ALL button, even on devices with 2 GIGS of RAM. Why can't iOS? Many iOS devices have 256MB of RAM, and could really use a "close all" button. (I used remove background instead. I assume it does the same thing. You can add it as a toggle in SBsettings)
bolt - Takes away the battery in the top bar. Adds a lighting bolt when you're charging. (Springtomize will do this - Sans the lightning bolt)
icleaner - "So if you have a mac, the chances are you will have heard of the infamous app ‘Clean My Mac’ and this is essentially what his cydia utility ‘iCleaner’ does for your device. It will remove all system files which are no longer in use, e.g logs, caches etc. which all amount to a large amount of pointless data. iCleaner is a very useful little utility, and is available for free from the BigBoss repo."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RbmCPR06U4
nitrous- iOS (Jailbroken): One of the big complaints about running a third party browser like Chrome on the iPhone is that it's always a little slower because Apple blocks third party apps from using its Nitro Javascript Engine. Nitrous is a new jailbreak tweak that adds that functionality into any app you want.
With Nitrous installed, any app that accesses the internet can get access to the Nitro Javascript Engine through the Settings page. This includes all your browsers, like Chrome, but also any other app that uses a webkit browser, like Facebook or Twitter.
I can't say I've noticed any different, even placebo, but who knows. Apparently noticeable boost in the awfulapp.
tcpoptimizer - TCP Optimizer which is a small tweak that supposedly makes streaming youtube videos faster on your iOS device. Engineered by the same fellas who made pushfix the tweak has some credibility behind it.
To download the tweak add http://cydia.pushfix.info/ to your cydia sources and install via the newly added repo.
springtomize 2 - Tweak almost everything on your iphone. Gets rid of a lot of those apps you have that do one thing. " you’ll be able to customize all kinds of features of your SpringBoard, such as your device’s animations, capabilities, features of the dock, features of the lock screen, features of your icons, features of your folders, features of your App Switcher, features of your Status Bar, features of Notification Center, and a whole lot more."
Zeppelin - Change the carrier logo. Not to text
http://www.teamsphone.com/apple-ios/zeppelin-jailbreak-tweak-to-change-carrier-logo-of-iphone-5094.html
Auxo - Great multi-tasking app. It's best to just watch the video.

I liked NCSettings better, since it was right there in the notification center, but I think SBS had a few more options that might be of use to you — I had no use for, e.g. the quicknote function.
