Yep, you're pretty late to the party. Unfortunately the ruling didn't mean that Verizon had to give everyone on tiered plans free tethering, it just meant they couldn't block third party apps. It didn't help for un-JBed iPhones because it's Apple that blocks tethering apps, not Verizon. Now that everyone has JB it means 1) you don't have to pay the bullshit monthly fee and 2) you don't have to worry about VZW punishing third party tethering app users.

edit: Why did you repost this verbatim in the general iPhone thread? Did you think you were breaking the story or something?

I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.
So I installed Copic, and it keeps yelling at me to buy it and activate it. I thought it was a free app? And saying this everytime I lock and unlock is beyond annoying.

edit: And everytime I access a contact. And apparently doesn't work at all. I'm either missing something glaringly obvious (all settings are switched to on) or this app is poo poo.

The app page in Cydia reads it is a commercial app ($1,49) but presents the regular install option.

Does anyone have any preferences/advice re: Intelliscreen vs. LockInfo 5? I used the trial of both and liked each in their own way, though it would be nice if LockInfo at least showed a clock. I'm just JB'ing my 5; the last time I tried any of this was on a 3G, so I'm a bit out of the loop.

It only works when activated and as far as i know theres no free trial. You can disable the annoying popups until you activate if you want.

iBlacklist works really well and comes with a 7 day trial. After that its $12 though and if you switch devices after a year you have to pay $6 for a license transfer.

It mostly works, whenever I get a text from a blocked contact it reboots my phone into safe mode most of the time. It does block calls for me though.

You could do what I did, and make a theme with a transparent image.

I put mine in my lockscreen theme which I also included a custom slider in.

He changed it to be "consolidated" on the lock screen in the beta that was released yesterday. Still some work to go but added some of the same features back (no stupid filter bar like you were hating on).

Edit: Also, "Tap to Launch" will remove the "swipe" requirement.

You could also use iFile for this - it has a web server function for dropping files in from the browser on your desktop.

Anyone have any experience with LockInfo support? I purchased it years ago under a different email account, one I don't have access to anymore. Now when I try to add or transfer the license to my new device it wants me to confirm with my old email. I emailed support last week and haven't heard anything back. Just wondering if anyone else knows a good way to get a hold of them.

IFile or alternatively you can use an ssh client or an scp client like winscp which allows you to edit files on the phone.

Edit: If it's a lot of editing I would copy the file to your computer so you can edit it with a client you are used to and then copy it back to the phone. Use winscp for that.

The dev is a nice guy. If you can provide transaction information (from Google Payments, Paypal, or Amazon Payments) to him I'm sure he would fix it for you. Contact him and let us know what he does!

If I'm having issues with my jailbreak, what sort of information should I provide in order to get the best possible help in this thread?

Please be gentle, this is my first iPhone and first jailbreak, and for some reason my screen now blanks out whenever I try to tap a button in the top left corner. It also tends to shut down Spotify, if that's relevant at all.

Is there a good way to attempt to debug Springboard crash issues? I got into a situation last night where enabling a handful of Winterboard themes resulted in Springboard perpetually entering Safe Mode, but disabling the themes didn't fix it (and removing Winterboard threw my iPad into the dreaded perpetual-apple-icon boot state until I just DFU'd and restored it). I tried pulling up the console during the safe mode interlude to try and figure out what was causing the issue and just ended up with a wall full of what looked like status spam from Springboard booting up.

This still doesn't sound consistent with my usage. You may want to head to /Settings/LockInfo/Notifications and Widgets/In Notification Center: Weather Widget and check your lock screen clock vs the weather widget clock. For example, I have the clock on the lock screen w/o weather and the clock disabled on the weather widget. Otherwise I'd have have two clocks right on top of each other on the lock screen.

It's unclear to me how this is happening for you. Could you have a random clock-hiding tweak hiding out in Winterboard (if installed?)

What phone and iOS version are you using? Which Cydia packages do you have installed? How exactly does the screen blank out?

Right now since we're in the very early stages of a new jailbreak it's wise to install applications and themes one at a time and play around before doing another just to rule out things like this. There are going to be a lot of conflicts, dependency issues, and general bugs for a couple months. Do you have any specifics?

And no sooner than I say that... I think the issue might have been with the "Black UPS" theme. I copied the actual Theme from the /private/var/stash/Themes folder on my iPad 2 before I sold it off, but looking at it through Cydia it appears to "not be confirmed to work on this version of IOS". It seems odd that it would cause that dramatic an issue even when not enabled, but I haven't had so much as a Springboard crash this time around.
