Up top there are three screen layout options, you can see from the screen shot he's on the middle one and you're on the left one. I'm in the same boat and can't seem to swipe to the other ones.

I suspect Zephyr might be screwing me over but I have it set to top third for swiping actions.
Aha! Thanks; I see it now. Had to uninstall SwipeSelect (which is cool, but I don't use much) to be able to change "mode."

Now it works, but sometimes when I "swipe" a word the "suggestion bar" thing doesn't come up, so if I press space, it deleted the word it typed from my swipe. If I swipe it again the suggestion bar will come up. I have "Advanced Prediction Bar" enabled, but it's sometimes blank after a swipe. If I press space it erases my word. Also automatic space is on but it doesn't put a space after a swipe.

Weird. Seems like it'd be pretty cool if I could figure out how to make it work. There's an english version in the app store, but of course it doesn't integrate (you have to use the app and copy/paste text out.) Maybe I'll try to it see if I can understand it better from the English version.

Aight, I need yr help.

Caught in a loop here, phone has gone back to 'set-up' mode, i.e. whenever I switch it on, it tries to set up again. I've let it try using my 3g and my wifi but it doesn't work. At home, connected to the most up to date iTunes, I get the error message below. Don't know what to try next. Any ideas?

It could be a genuine fluke on Apple's side, but it's more likely something else. Do you have gs.apple.com in your HOSTS file?

If you're using windows you'll need to google for the file location, or check a URL I pasted a few pages back.

Otherwise, look in /etc/hosts and remove any gs.apple.com entry

ASK ME ABOUT MUTILATING MY PET TO SUIT MY OWN AESTHETIC PREFERENCES

Blimpkin posted:

Just did my update to 6.1.2, and I used OpenBackup, as the only tweaks I installed were 6.x.x compatible, and it went flawlessly. All my tweaks and settings were restored without issue, and now I'm future-proofed against 6.1.3.

1-Download OpenBackup off Cydia, back up in the app.
2-Backup to iTunes
3-Restore>Update>Restore from backup
4-Jailbreak
5-Download OpenBackup again, and restore

Very painless, especially if you download the 6.1.2 update in iTunes ahead of time.

Ok i'm going from the 6.1 to 6.1.2.
So I'm backing up now and I've got the 6.1.2 IPSW. So when it's done backing up I hold shift and click restore Iphone, and then select the IPSW? and then click restore to bring all my old apps back and then rejailbreak using evasion?

6.1.2 is the current firmware (6.1.3 is beta) So you don't have to do the shift/restore one. So just backup iphone > restore iphone > restore from backup > jailbreak

Since 6.1.2 is the most recent ipsw Apple's distributing and signing right now, you'll get it by doing a standard restore. Shift-clicking is only necessary if you want to use an ipsw file other than the default. So, it'll be necessary if you need to restore to 6.1.2 once 6.1.3 comes out.

You shouldn't have deleted everything in there, you were only looking for a "gs.apple.com" entry. Don't delete anything else.

The only important thing here is the hosts file, and the only important things in it for this are any lines that reference Apple (gs.apple.com for restore, potentially other stuff for activation). Just deleting everything might have been a bad idea - it's a systemwide file, and if anything else has entries in there, well, it doesn't any more. You'd probably know if it was important, but it's something to keep in mind if other software starts acting funny.

Add these back to your hosts file, unless windows automatically does it? I have no idea.

127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost

Windows handles localhost resolution within the DNS client; it's not necessary to have it in the hosts file. There's no "broadcasthost" reference in the stock hosts file, either.

It's really easy, as long as you catch them in time (if you don't, once Apple stops signing a version then it's gone forever).

I'd just use TinyUmbrella, though. Download it, plug in your iPhone/Pad, click the save shsh button, and it'll get everything Apple is currently signing. If you ever need to restore to an old version, the proxy to fool iTunes is built right into the software.

Getting your blob is what got you a gs.apple.com entry in your hosts file in the first place. Be sure to keep that in mind next time you want to update or restore. You'll need to remove that entry again.

If you're using TinyUmbrella, it only does it if you check the "set hosts to cydia on exit" box. And, in recent versions, that box is unselectable anyway.

From the changelog for 1.7-1 (released Feb 28th):

- Fixed crashes, sorry!

- 3G toggle behaviour tweaked (LTE users can configure from Settings > NCSettings > Data)

(In adding an LTE toggle- due to technical limitations- switching to 2G is now dependant on wether your carrier profile permits it. If you don't see a 3G switch in Settings > General > Cellular Data, there's no reason why NCSettings should show one.)

~DEVELOPMENT DISCONTINUED ~

The developer broke some stuff, couldn't figure out what he broke, didn't want to put some fixes/features in to make stuff work again, and then "rage quit" after people kept bothering him over Twitter or whatever about it. After calming down, he decided using the word "discontinued" was a bit excessive.

The current version is still broken for a lot of people, and the developer has a "go gently caress yourself" attitude towards some users, now.

For example, the 3G/4G toggle doesn't work for a lot of people. This is a pretty big deal for AT&T devices, as AT&T had Apple remove that toggle in iOS (since AT&T doesn't want people using 2G/EDGE). Programs like NCSettings were REALLY nice, as they provided that functionality again.
Well, the developer changed some stuff, broke that, and has a different method put in. To those who relied on NCSettings for a 3G/4G toggle? The developer says that since the carrier decided you shouldn't be able to toggle that, he wouldn't bother making it work, either.
Having a toggle in Settings for NCSettings to use the old or new method to disable 3G/4G would be a lot better than how it works now.

SBSettings still works, thankfully. But removing the 3G/4G toggle from NCSettings on AT&T devices just made that program a hell of a lot less useful.

The developer is certainly talented, but some of their recent "enhancements" to NCSettings can only be described as "painful". He made a change that violently crashed SpringBoard - unless you knew to reset all settings, first (the current version of NCSettings automatically resets settings on install). The past two releases switched to the new cellular toggle, with no way to get the old method back (even if the old one was the only one that worked for your device) - and he has no intention of restoring the removed functionality.

I'm using NCSettings, because I didn't really like having EVERYTHING in one tweak(SBSettings), and while I like NCSettings, is there a standalone tweak for adding info into the status bar? SSID, RAM, Date, etc.?

It's not a huge deal on newer devices, but if you're in a location where your 3G service is poor or leads to a massive battery drain, forcing your device to 2G can save a *LOT* of battery.

Apple even gives a much greater estimate of battery life when using 2G vs 3G. The iPhone gets something like ~7 hours of talk time on 3G, and ~14 hours of talk time on 2G. You can literally double your battery life by turning off 3G, especially on older devices.

On older devices, something like NCSettings/SBSettings simply gave a quick way to toggle the setting.
On newer devices like the AT&T iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, NCSettings/SBSettings became the ONLY way to toggle the setting.

And now it's been removed from NCSettings.
