Sure it is, I had a brightness slider in my NC in OS6, but still used swipebright a lot.

Restore with iTunes and re-jailbreak. Something you installed is incompatible with your phone.

I believe the new evasi0n also allows you to boot into Safe Mode by holding Volume Up. Try that first, uninstall whatever you installed last, exit Safe Mode.

Swipebright isn't updated yet, are there any alternatives for "Swipe left/right on status bar for brightness"? That was a tweak I loved.

Install Brightness Activator Action then set it to whatever action you want--additionally there is a Settings entry to control the increment of brightness changed with each activation.

I have this, and I see the entry in Settings, but I don't see the option to map it anywhere inside Activator.

I got lastapp too (which is great) and I can map that just fine though. I just don't see the brightness action option anywhere inside Activator. Probably because I'm on a 5S I figure.

Do you see Brightness Down/Brightness Up when you're assigning an action?

Possible newb question and sorry if this has been answered already.

I jailbroke my 5S running 7.0.4, installed Cydia Substrate, Substrate Safemode and Byta Font 2.

Now when I go to install something like F.lux or Zeppelin I keep getting told about dependencies like PreferenceLoader or Winterboard, what should I do? Am I playing the waiting game still?

Exsqueeze me, why the sour face? I'm here to lemon aid you. Let's juice it.

So it turns out this doesn't do what I want it to. It's a great utility for customizing what's within CC but it doesn't affect the CC panel behaviour.

What ended up working for me was turning off 'CC while in apps' in settings.app altogether and using Activator to access it instead. Then I can just blacklist Notability from Activator functions and presto, exactly what I wanted. Now I can rest my palm and wrist on the bezel and palm guard and not worry about CC popping up anytime I put the stylus down to the screen.

PreferenceLoader and Winterboard have both been updated to support the 5S, so you're all good.

Just jailbroke Ipad Air on 7.0.4. When I install certain apps for Cydia, like NB settings and EasySpring, they install fine but when I get into the setting app it says 'Unable to load preferences' and obvisouly they aren't functional.

I ask this because after jailbreaking, I broke Cydia and even after rebooting it kept showing an error message asking me to run dkpg -a configue or something similar. So I re jailbroke the device (without restoring, just a JB on top of the JB). The second jailbreak got half way and would not proceed after the evais0n icon, as this kept crashing back to the homepage. However after deleting the icon cydia worked again. Was wondering if I botched something up, or if its just ios7 arm 64 tetthing problems?

Make sure you have the latest evasi0n (it just udpated two nights ago) and restore from scratch and begin a new jailbreak.

So a friend is getting a mini retina to replace his first gen ipad, and I just got this message from him;

Him: I just realized... I'm gonna have to sort my iBooks again.
Him: fuuuuuuuuck.
Me: The joy.
Him: joy unspeakable. I dare not speak of it.

His book library is quite huge and manual arrangement would be a monumental pain in the rear end. He's not generally in favor of jailbreaking, never has been, and none of his devices have ever been jailbroken. So, without jailbreaking, is there something that can grab whatever file that keeps the books organized on the iPad and apply it to the mini? Or is this something that can only be done on a jailbroken device, if at all?

I seem to recall when I moved from a regular ipad to my mini the categories I had my books in moved over when I restored the icloud backup to the mini.

Tweaks will need to be updated for 64 bit, I believe that's why the "Unable to load preferences" comes up. Sounds separate from your jailbreak issue.

I think you should probably flip the jailbreak and restore backup? That seemed to work perfectly for me.

The JB caught a lot of developers off guard. There was absolutely no warning. That, coupled with the fact there's a brand new 64-bit architecture to code for has only compounded the situation. I'd give it time. Remember a lot of these guys do these tweaks in their spare time, as a hobby.

I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.
iOS7 added a whole bunch of stuff I normally jailbreak for (Control Center, flat icons, native swipe navigation, new lock screen) so I don't have near the amount of tweaks I used to. All I have now is SwipeSelection, BiteSMS, Virtual Home, and Zepplin (to get rid of the carrier name), plus a couple really minor ones.

I was a big fan of NC settings, wouldn't mind an app to kill all backgrounded applications with one gesture, and toggle VPN and personal hotspot. Also something similar to sandcastle that let's me access my entire file structure from within most apps

Yeah I guess it was the unexpected nature of the JB, usually there is a lot of tweeting and 'scene' drama.

Is there any killer ios app to restore the magic? Infinity Blade III perhaps?

If you look at all of his posts in this thread since 2011, I don't think he is trolling--I think he is just not really that technology-minded. I wouldn't recommend him jailbreaking, to be honest, as he seems to have had issues with every jailbreak since iOS 5.

Might be useful to some but adding repo: jypy.edu allows you to download isabnzbd. Allows your Idevice to act as a server and along with SABmobile (App Store) it allows you full usenet access using just your phone/pad.

I'm running down a list of battery saving tips for IOS 7 and one of them is to turn push off. If i turn push off the icloud option underneath it still says that it's using push instead of fetch or manual which is exactly what I'd like. Checking for mail or app updates manually doesn't bother me but I'd like new contacts to be saved to the cloud automatically. Can I assume the the system wide push and the push for icloud are two separate things?

I'm fairly certain iCloud syncing and general Push for email are separate functions, but you're really not hurting your battery much at all by having Push turned on for iCloud email. If anything you could turn Fetch to Hourly and be better off but even that isn't much.

I've got both Push turned on and Fetch set at 15 minutes (on five accounts) and I've seen no issues with an idle phone and battery drain.
