You were sure to back up, restore factory settings, update/restore from back up, then jailbreak right?

Oh oops I think I skipped the update restore form backup part


I mean i followed the instructions in the OP and it just said to "erase all content and settings" and then restore that AFTER the jailbreak, so, that's how I was doing it.

You did "erase all content and settings" via the phone's interface? If you weren't jailbroken that might work, but if you were it won't.

I've never had a single issue with the process I posted. If you can restart the process, and you've got a backup on iTunes, just restore the phone to factory settings, then update, THEN restore the backup you made, THEN jailbreak. In that order you should encounter no errors. If you do, then it's beyond me.

Check the folder apple puts the backups in. There's a chance your manual backup is still there, sometimes it keeps 2 or 3 old backups. Though if it did I think you're supposed to be able to select them via a drop down.

Not sure exactly what happened, but your old backup should still exist in iTunes. You might need to re-restore your phone and jailbreak again, but your manual backup should still be available.

Nope it's gone, iTunes seems to only keep like 2 backups, and I had it automatically syncing(including a backup) every time I plugged in the phone because it hadn't mattered before. I think I lost all the photos on the phone but I'm jailbroken now~

Are you on a Mac or PC?

My advice would be if there are no old backup folders in the file system to try out one of those programs that can scan your HD for files that were deleted but not removed from the HD.

A game called Blazing Souls Accelate is on the App Store. It appears to be related to the Spectral Souls games but I don't know a whole lot about those. Anyone know if this is a port or something? It looks interesting, but at 14 bucks I'm not quite ready to take the plunge.

From google

After installing go into settings/statusbarcustomclock4 & remove all the stuff thats in the date format box

Now copy & paste this in there EE M/d - h:mm

Select english where it says locale

Now repspring.

EE is day of the week.

FM is free memory I think.

Also if you want Military time (or the time fromat everyone else in the world uses)use HH (has to be capital). I think you can add emoji or whatever poo poo too) I put an apple between day and date and it looks cool. You can change how often it refreshes (I have every 1 second) not sure if this will hog resources/drain battery?

While it doesn't take long to do it, if you're in a rush and need a (working) phone you might want to wait until you have some time to take it easy and not be hurried. Unless you have some kind of urgent emergency need to JB I guess.

6.1.2 is the latest version and it is jail breakable. The Evasi0n team have said that 6.1.3 patches the jailbreak exploit - its in beta testing at the moment.

There's no essential reason to update* but you might be best to update and save your SHSH blobs while it's still possible

*unless you've suffered battery life problems since updating to 6.1 or need to fix the Exchange calendar bug

It happened to me too, nene. I thought I had it set to not automatically sync but I think an iTunes update changed it.

Running the latest version of Tiny Umbrella on Win7, it only seems to be saving 6.1 and not 6.1.2. :confused:

Oh ok figured it out. It was actually in the stock settings. For some reason there's a separate "Share widget" that I had to disable. Not sure why that's not accessible from the twitter/facebook settings...

Maybe I have the settings all hosed up, but I 100% do not understand how using swipe on TouchPal works.

Sometimes when I swipe, I'll finish a word and it'll get it right. Great. What I want to happen next is after it inputs the word, I want it to automatically put a space inbetween that word and the next. However, it only does it half the time.

For example if I want to type, "for example"

I'll swipe over "f-o-r" and it'll come up with "for" after I lift up my hand. Then I'll swipe over "e-x-a-m-p-l-e."

Half the time it comes up with "for example"

Half the time it comes up with "forexample"

Also, if I try to type individual letters, I randomly have to input the first letter of each word twice?

So I'd have to touch the keys, "f-f-o-r space e-e-x-a-m-p-l-e"

To get "for example." If I don't hit the first key twice, I get "or xample"

I want this to work so bad :( The only thing I have set to off is the third option. Any ideas?

I literally am only keeping TouchPal around for the ASCII emoticons, because my girlfriend can't use emoji, but can display ASCII characters. I like the idea of the SWYPE interface, but Touchpal is just too finicky/touchy and I spend more time correcting/finalizing than actually using SWYPE to chat.

Speaking of ASCII emoticons, does anyone know of a keyboard/emoticon pack filled with Japanese emoticons? I love those drat things.

Example of swiping right to see your calendar:



The two biggest problems are that you never actually see the entire event (the screenshot shows as far right as you can swipe) and it only supports a Google calendar with public permissions. There's only so much you can do with javascript... Still it's a heck of lot cleaner than Lockinfo and Intelliscreen at the moment. It'd be cool if there was a decent lock screen app though.

Installing is pretty simple if you have OpenSSH set up, just open up an SFTP session to your phone and put the theme directory where it's supposed to be, then edit one settings file. Took me all of 5 minutes and 3 of them involved putting Winterboard back on my phone.
