I will check it out. Thank you.

Edit: I ended up using SMS Ninja instead, because it's free. It's not as polished looking, but it also works as intended.

Oy. I just installed Flaticons and I can't seem to figure out how to change the weather lock screen from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Anyone have any suggestions?

Use iFile, open /var/stash/Themes and find FlatLSip5 or whichever lock screen you're using. Edit the lines of HTML 1/3 down the sheet for location and change iscelcius to false.

Anyone else have issues with NCsettings and the wifi toggle randomly not working? It happens to me all the time where tapping it changes the color from off to on or on to off but it doesn't actually enable/disable wifi.

A respring fixes it but I can't be the only one with this issue?

I've had this problem intermittently the past month or so and have just used a respring to work around it. It would be nice if it didn't happen though, but its infrequent enough to not be a big deal.

If you have a jailbroken iPhone/iPod, you can install Background Manager from Cydia and set certain apps to have backgrounding blocked.

Settings->Privacy->Photos and turn off biteSMS?

You could still do it from within the app. You'd just remove the option from the quick reply window.

One of the newer options in the most recent BiteSMS updates is that you can set a passcode lock to answer or initiate a text. Try that!

Thanks. I have 6.1.3 but since I have an A4 processor (iPhone 4) I can still jailbreak, correct?

edit: looks like I have to downgrade to 6.1.2 first. Is this the easiest way?

edit2: It looks like it's too late for me to do anything since I never saved any 6.1.2 info. Redsnow said the window was closed when I loaded the 6.1.2 ipsw file, so I guess I'll just have to wait.

So my 4S is on 5.0.1. I can't upgrade to iOS6 and jailbreak at this point, can I? Damnit.

I want to play Zombies Run, and the only thing I really use is BiteSMS and SBSettings. SBsettings I can live without, but BiteSMS is pretty amazing as far as replying instantly from wherever I am. Did they ever allow that in iOS6? Should I just stick with 5.0.1 for now? Edit: Or I CAN go to 6.1.3, but I have to do a tethered jailbreak? Hrm.

Nope, you're stuck until iOS 7.

If you have any SHSH blobs saved, you can downgrade to whatever OS version you have saved then jailbreak from there (if that version is jb-able). If you've never saved any SHSH blobs, you're stuck until iOS 7 too.

There's not going to be any new 6.1.x versions or jailbreaks for those versions?

Maybe I should just sell my iPhone 4 - it's unlocked, not sure how much I can get for it. I'm just getting really tired of the lack of control we have over our own devices. Even now, I'll have to wait a few months and go through the various hoops when I could just get an Android phone instead.

Speaking of which, how much do you think I could get for an iPhone 4 (16GB) that's unlocked?

I got $114 last week for an iPhone 4 8gb in like-new condition, not unlocked, from Gamestop. They're notorious for poor trade-in values, so the thing is still worth something.

Is there any way to stop certain apps from caching so god damned much data and filling up my storage? Vine and Instagram are the most egregious, hoarding about 600mb each, but many others like Tumblr are 12mb apps that are weighed down with upwards of 100mb of useless poo poo. I know I can periodically clean that poo poo out but I want to stop it from happening in the first place. It's especially annoying since many of those cleaning programs also kill all login data, so I have to log back in to everything afterwards.

I should note that I don't even post anything on any of these apps, it's not like I'm creating all that data myself, they just cache everything that comes in.

edit whoops jailbreak thread. Well, whatever.

Fuckin photostream. I want all that poo poo ~*IN THE CLOUD*~ not hogging up my phone's storage. I cleared the photo stream on my computer, but the photo sream tab on my phone is still full of space hogging poo poo. I cleared that, then moved poo poo back into the photo stream on my computer, and nowwwwwwww it's full of poo poo on my phone again.
