Good app, licensing support is kind of a pain in the rear end.

Well I purchased it but unfortunately I cannot get it to send a busy signal to the blacklisted caller (not sure how it would do this anyway, but it's advertised), but rather it sends them to voicemail after two rings which appears as if I've sent them there by declining myself. Have you tried this before with any success?

I've used that feature and not gotten voicemails, but I've never bothered to test out the other side.

The status bar clock is useful in applications, and is tiny so it doesn't serve the same purpose as a larger clock on the lock screen for quick viewing. Do you disable the clock in the Windows taskbar, OS X menu bar or whatever you use, just in case you have another clock visible on the screen at some point?

But nobody is saying he should hide something that's there by default, because there is no clock in the status bar of the default lock screen. He's already hiding the default clock, and replacing it with two more clocks. Honestly the two clocks didn't bother me (it's not even the worst custom lockscreen posted on that page), but this analogy doesn't make sense.

There will be at least a 6.1.3 coming soon.

Did anyone ever get the actual bypass to work? Myself and most of the people commenting on the article I read about it could only get it stuck on a black screen.

From the videos, it's tricky as heck, and not very practical (you must keep the sleep button pressed while doing anything, etc).

Does anyone have experience using iBlacklist? I just want to block a couple numbers from calling- maybe send them directly to voicemail or a busy signal. Is it reliable and bug free?

There's a much cheaper program called "Call Blocker". It immediately "Ignores" the call (your phone will send them to voice mail).

iBlacklist worked fine back when I used it (in iOS 4). The only issues I had were the engrish in the app, the inconsistent way they'd use the program name ("iBlacklist", "IblackList", etc) in their own app, and how they required a $6 "license transfer fee" if you got a new device.

Good God this problem will never go away.

Everytime I install FolderEnhancer, 5 icon dock, infinifolders...anything like that, all of my icons blow up and go back to where I had them a year or so ago on my old jailbreak.

I don't want this to happen.

I've tried to,

1) save my icon layout with Springtomize, didn't work.
2) go in with iFile and delete all of my previous settings for FolderEnhancer and 5 icon dock, didn't work.

I had never even installed infinifolders before today, and yet it STILL restored my icons back to the way they looked a year ago. Infinifolders had literally never existed anywhere on or near my phone, and still my icons just went all over the place. There has to be a setting somewhere I can change, or a file I can delete, to fix this.

I don't even care anymore if I can put folders in folders or whatever the gently caress, I just want to solve this problem out of frustration.

bonzaisushi posted:

Yes you can and deleting that plist file will fix all your issues. I was also having some weird bugs with springtomize 2 and clearing the plist file fixed them all. In fact its not a bad idea running through the plist files and clearing ones out that you no longer use, i had a poo poo ton. Just be careful with what ya delete, everything past com.apple is jailbreak related I believe. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You can find the file here: /var/mobile/library/preferences jp.ashikase.folderenhancer.plist

If you need to delete the springtomize plist the file name is: com.filippobiga.springtomize.plist (its in the same location as the previous plist file)

You can do this using, ifile, mobile terminal or ssh.

It worked for me.

It worked for me.

I went through and deleted the options for FolderEnhancer and 5 icon dock.

Then I reinstalled FolderEnhancer. The icons went all over the place again.

So I went through and deleted every .plist file that I wasn't using and that wasn't com.apple or whatever. DIRECTLY after that, WITHOUT installing anything, my icons went to the same exact state as they did when I installed those Cydia apps.

What the gently caress?

I had to restore my icons with Springtomize, which worked.

When I reinstalled FolderEnhancer, of course, the icons went all over the place again.

This is infuriating. There has to be a non-app related file somewhere that saves icon placement just for jailbreak programs in general? I can't imagine what else could possibly causing this. This is loving driving me crazy.

Oh my God.

Stuck Pages did it. It worked. My icons all look the same after installing FolderEnhancer. I just put a folder inside of a folder, then made a folder in that folder and put a million icons in there. Thank you soooooo much.

I was just about ready to bite the bullet and redo everything from scratch, which is probably the ultimate first world thing to complain about, but I feel like a beast has been conquered today. I feel like this is the end of an era, and the start of a new beginning.

Just updated to 6.1.2 and re-Jailbroke. I ran "dpkg --get-selections > packages.txt" prior to updating via WinSCP and that worked fine. However, when I went to run "dpkg --set-selections < packages.txt /apt-get -u dselect-upgrade" after installing OpenSSH and APT, I keep timing out and can't restore everything. Any ideas? I know I can reinstall repos one by one, but just wanted to see what might be the cause of this.

"Jesus christ man where did all these koreans come from!"
So my problem is slightly complicated. I have an iphone 4s my father game me that was still under contract with AT&T. I brought it with me to China while they were still in the process of unlocking it but then they denied the request. Via this thread I learned how to unlock it, but before I did any of that, I decided to reset it to factory settings. Now, whenever I try to activate it, I am unable to do so and I suspect it has to do with the fact that I am in China.

My ultimate goal is to jailbreak and unlock it so that I can use it with a local Chinese sim card. I would also like to be able to use the itunes store as I wish to purchase a program called Pleco. Really I am more concerned with wifi functionality vs being able to make phonecalls.

As of now I cant for the life of me properly activate the phone. I was successful once and set the region initially to China, but when I tried to connect my apple id that i recently made to the itunes account it wouldn't work, probably because the phone was set to China as a region and my billing address is in the United States. I hear there are ways to activate the phone without connecting to wifi or itunes, but will that complicate jailbreak/unlocking or using the phone with itunes?

/edit
I should also mentioned that I have tried using a VPN thinking that the problem is that the phone simply needs to appear to be in the United States but I haven't had any success.

Couple questions. How do I transfer files to the VLC player? The in-app instructions say OpenSSH, but can I use iFile? Also what SFTP client do you recommend?

Second, how would I go about playing this link on my phone? I'd just like to keep it open while I'm away from my computer, and since it is .swf, I can't do it normally on an iPhone.

You can add files to the native VLC app straight through iTunes, or by SSHing into your phone and depositing them into the app's documents directory.

EDIT: Never mind, a little while of playing with the phone and plugging it into itunes a few times it seems to finally be sending all my apps over! Don't understand why it didn't do that the first five times, but whatever.


I just did an update iphone 4s from 5.1.1 to 6.1.2. I had done a backup, re-jailbroke and did a restore. Everything seems to have come over but my apps are not there. When I plug into itunes and go to apps they are listed in the window.

But they are not there on the actual phone. I can go and re-download them and they have all my data which is great, but I have a lot of apps. Is there a faster way I'm missing?

Another problem is I have an app or two that are no longer on app store not sure how to bring it over, shows up in my itunes...
