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.

Thanks for the quick answer. I've got an Iphone 4 so I'm pretty keen on getting some speed tweaks. I've literally just jailbroke and I'm still in the process of downloading some stuff I used to have from cydia so I'm not even sure the performance hit is worth worrying about. I seem to recall some people even saying 7 runs faster than 6.3 though I don't remember if they were on an Iphone 4 or 4s or 5 or what but I figure any little bit helps.

I've used fake clock up before and I defiantly plan on grabbing it again but I've also read about one called noslowanimations. Anyone know if these do the exact same thing, do they conflict? Any other cydia speed tweaks you guys know of would be greatly appreciated.

I've got both NoSlowAnimations and FakeClockUp installed but I haven't had to change the speed on FCU yet since the former is doing the trick.

You could also look into Nitrous, and definitely turn on Reduce Motion if you haven't already done so.


Unrelated: Calendar for Lockscreen came out today. I've been wanting this since LockInfo isn't updated (yet?)

Ah I saw that reduce motion thing mentioned in one of the guides I checked out but I had figured it was related to that parallax effect which Isn't available on my phone. I should have known that wasn't the case because it allowed me to toggle it but I ended up leaving it at the default setting. Thanks for the tip.

Noslowanimations is "better" because it doesn't affect stuff like animated gifs (and I think some videos). Fakeclockup will speed them up as well.

I just assumed this was yet another instance of iOS 7 UI design stupidity. I even thought I saw it on my boss's stock iPhone 5, but it must have been my imagination. Using the camera app should be a little easier now.

There's a new jailbreak tweak on the modmyi repo called Controllers For All ($1.99) that enables use of a PS3 controller with the built in iOS7 controller API. Lots of games already have controller support and now you don't need to spend $100 on the crappy MFi controllers.

So I think I've more wanted the tweaks coming from 7.1 than I have a Jailbreak... hence I have been waiting.

That said, I think I also care more about the tweaks coming from 7.1 on my *iPhone* than I do my iPad.

And the Controllers for All thing is super mega hella tempting.

Is the Jailbreak on current iPad (Air) solid/stable? I'm sure 7.1 will eventually be JB'ed, but I can enjoy gaming now... Thoughts?


(also, I'm not new to Jailbreaking.. just haven't bother with my 5 or my Air, because they addressed *most* of the reasons I jailbroke.)

Now don't get me wrong, I love me a good jailbreak. I'm still on 6.1.2 because I can't let go of some tweaks that aren't updated yet. But I found this out when I jailbroke my sister's iPad (4th) to give her XBMC so she could turn her iPad into a HTT (home-theatre tablet. Just made that up). Screenshot is from my iPhone 5.

I didn't know this was a thing, though deep in the recesses of my memory I seem to recall some apps hating jailbreaks. Pandora maybe? Anyway, I guess there's a fix called xCon that is in beta for iOS 7.

Anyone recently had an issue with being unable to sync to iTunes with a jailbroken device.

Every time I try now it tells me "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"

When does the app tell you that it detected a jailbroken phone? I downloaded the app and I have the option to log in. I'm thousands of miles away from Scotland though so I can't test it any further than that.

Like the poster above me said I have the newest xcon beta installed.

https://github.com/n00neimp0rtant/xCon-Issues

39 beta 7 You'll have to install the .deb package manually so a combo of winscp and putty will work, or I think IFile allows you to install them.

Edit: I forgot to mention no 64bit support so I suppose it won't work if you have a 5s
