Do you have Bootstrap installed? Try installing it if you don't, it helps to keep tweaks accessible from settings.

There's a new tweak out called HiddenSettings7 that gives you access to all sorts of Springboard tweaks.

If you turn on reduced motion in Settings.app, then you can tweak the reduced motion cross fade speed to make the cross fades happen really quickly.

For anyone that downloads the tweak, the relevant settings are in Icon Animations > Reduced Motion > and adjust 'Mass' to some setting less than 8.00. At the bottom, the calculated duration will reflect the increased speed.

So that's at least half the reason someone would want to upgrade to 7.1 (for the increased animation speeds). Maybe someone inventive will be able to fix the fact that Safari is a buggy, crashy mess on A7 devices too.

Edit: the same changes can be made for people without reduced motion, such as increasing the speed that folders zoom in and out when pressed, and increasing the speed that the springboard displays after unlocking the phone.

I finally went to 7.0.4 last night and did the JB, but for some reason things keep getting messed up. Things will work for a little while, then all of a sudden just not work.

Example: I added FakeClockUp, it worked fine. Then a I added a few more tweaks from that one List of compatible apps, and all of a sudden they just don't show up in Settings (even FakeClockUp). I went into Cydia and started removing things one by one, but still nothing. I've had to restore a few times, maybe I will just wait for a better release.

When you all do your JB (and upgrade), do you restore as a 100% new phone or use a backup? If the former, how do you recoup your contacts?

I restore from a backup, but iCloud can keep your contacts in sync if you have that enabled.

IPad 2 16gb WiFi. Getting boot loop error on 7.0.4 Tried restoring from download in iTunes and shift-restore. Tried setting up iPad as new device and from backup but same problem.
Seems like the boot loop is a common problem. Guess will have to wait for a fix.

It doesn't work for the iPad 2 WiFi. This is one of the issues with the jailbreak being rushed.

It doesn't work on some devices.
MobileSubstrate was never updated. This breaks a LOT of tweaks/apps.
Cydia doesn't work right (although 1.1.9, released today, is a bit better).

The evasi0n team didn't communicate with anyone important, so none of the other software was ready. They rushed their poo poo to get a big $$$$ payout, and now some Chinese company is laughing all the way to the bank.

The jailbreak doesn't work right, but their lovely, ad-filled pirate store is working JUST FINE.

FakeClockUp isn't fully compatible just yet. As for the Settings disappearing, someone has already mentioned bootstrap, but you can also just hit 'reinstall' on MobileSubstrate and they should reappear.

So yeah, evasi0n just publicly severed their ties with the pod2g because they came to the realization that Taig was intended to be a pirated app store, and like even pod2g's own apps were unlicensed so they probably didn't intend to fix that situation anytime soon or ever.

Also, contrary to rumors, the exploits used in this jailbreak actually remain unpatched as of the latest 7.1 beta (you can even jailbreak 7.1b2), so dropping the jailbreak early was the result of pointless infighting and Apple will probably have the vulnerabilities fixed by the time 7.1 is released in a few weeks.

This always happens. There's always some prima donna with every jailbreak release who fucks something up for everyone else. It never just involves everyone working as a team.

There are some straight up ungrateful rear end holes posting in this thread recently.

No wonder the dev team is soliciting Chinese companies. Selfish people condemn them for wanting to make some money, condemn them for not waiting until iOS 7.x to release, accuse them of spending months to perfect their jailbreak only to allegedly implant back doors or malware.

I for one am happy that there is a jailbreak for 7.0.4. Also, from reading twitter and post-mortems on the jailbreak, it appears that the exploits used for this jailbreak are not the only ones that exist in iOS 7, meaning future versions of iOS 7 may be able to be jail broken.

Updated to 7.04 and jailbroke with success. Did not restore, did not need to use backup, etc. Working well so far.

Does anyone have or can point me to a good list of Cydia stuff for ios7?

Also, anytime I put my finger on the top bar this comes up (and I don't have sbsettings)

Lots don't work because MobileSubstrate has not been updated by Saurik. You may also need to restart.

I restarted a couple times. And I only downloaded about 6 apps that were on the ios7 compatible list. Only Activator shows up and whenever I restart it just crashes and its in the reset mode again.


Seems like Harlem Shake downloaded Activator, and that was messing everything up.

There is the occasional app that gets through the App store that will enable tethering via SOCKS proxy via USB cable.

But that's not a great solution.

TetherMe for Cydia is the best solution for natural tethering. I'm still not sure what crazy people pay $20 for MyWi every time a new iOS version comes out.

That's safe mode something you installed is causing Springboard to crash.

I've bought and paid for mywi5 and then the upgrade to mywi6. Is there really a mywi7 because that would be loving bullshit. I've already paid for the drat app twice over.

Edit: turns out mywi7 is a free upgrade for people who have already upgraded to mywi6. Thank goodness.

TetherMe. I used it on iOS6 and restored my phone to iOS 7 and jailbroke and re-installed it- it recognized my previously purchased license and also worked on the new jailbreak. I highly recommend this option- it was my main concern when upgrading. There is a very useful iOS 7 jailbroken app compatibility table located here to check and see if your Cydia apps have been updated for iOS 7 compatibility.

That is what I am trying to decide, if I should get os7 jailbreak or os6. Do you think most of the stuff will be updated to 7? I specifically would want something that can take away delay for the actions.

FYI: If you're only jailbreaking for speeding up animations in iOS7, then 7.1 may be all you really want. The animations in 7.1 Beta 2 are significantly faster.

I'm trying to find a jailbreak tweak that I loved on iOS6, it was basically triple tap to open the google app and it would also activate the voice search like holding down home does for Siri.

I don't think it was an activator setting because that just lets me open the google app with a triple click, but I still have to tap the voice search button.

The only feature I still use jailbreak for on my iOS 6 iPhone is removing data restrictions from certain apps that are designed to work only over wifi (Amazon Video being the only one I really care about at the moment). I presume that's not an official feature in iOS 7, and I'd still need to jailbreak if I were inclined to update the OS?

Why do app developers do that, by the way? I'm grandfathered into an unlimited VZW data plan—let me get what I pay for FFS.

I think it's the carriers (Verizon, AT&T, etc.) who are to blame for such restrictions. For obvious reasons.

Maybe a dev can pipe up and confirm but it seems hard to believe an app developer wouldn't include an option to do whatever via celldata if it were possible to do so. What's the downside for anyone other than the carriers?
