I literally cannot look at the phone screen when f.lux is disabled during evening hours. There are some other neat tweaks that are nice to have but f.lux is definitely the main reason I'm jailbreaking at this point.

Why is it not in the App Store? They just don't want to bother going through whatever process it is to get something there?

There must be some weird Apple rule that doesn't allow it. Because so many people run it on PC these days They'd make a killing just charging a couple bucks

It's a safe bet that overall system brightness/warmth isn't changeable via whatever settings APIs that iOS exposes.

F.lux and SMS on GV are about the only things I can think of. After using f.lux consistently for months the switch to an iphone 6 has claimed my eyes.

I need iCleaner.

Last month I noticed Facebook was taking up over 1 gig of space on my iPad, whereas the base app is around 100 mb. It was either something like iCleaner, or uninstall Facebook and reinstall, which is a pain to do often. AS well as clearing the 1gig Facebook's cache was talking up, it also released 4 gigs other apps I had no idea could take up so much space in caches were holding onto.

F.lux is great too.

Yeah there's no real reason to JB just yet unless you want to mess around as a dev.

I don't know if doing iOS dev as a jailbreaker is feasible anymore. There was this thing called jailcoder for iOS 6 that was kinda plug-and-play for doing unsigned app dev, it never got updated.

This is the best opinion you've ever expressed and largely why I haven't upgraded yet. I can't live without f.lux at this point.

I'll jailbreak because I like adblock, that clear dock thing, nitro, and some other garbage. It's little tweaks that I use it for more than huge game changers.

I have to say using activator so you can disable turning off the phone on the lock screen is a great idea and I've never thought of that.

FYI, nitro is no longer required as of iOS8. iOS apps using unwed views now get the faster JavaScript as well. One more thing apple finally fixed.

I'll always jailbreak for random tweaks. But it no longer keeps me from upgrading to the latest iOS and hoping someone finds a new exploit.

It'll be functionally no different. It's easy enough to install .deb files on a jb device without cydia and you'll still have the same problem: No cydia apps updated for 8.

considering the latest developments it's almost a guarantee we get a proper user friendly jailbreak before apple releases a new IOS. just hold out until someone packages everything together/the tweaks you like get upgraded to work with the new jailbreak.

Is there any way to keep safari from reloading a page when I go back to it? for example, if I'm checking out gizmodo.com and I see an interesting article I will long press the link and open it in a new tab. I'll read it, close the tab to go back to gizmodo.com and safari reloads the page. Not only do I have to find my place again but I imagine It's eating up data.

Probably a question better suited for a general IOS thread but I don't know where that one is and this one is in my bookmarks.

thanks, it worked. Anyone have a list of useful cydia apps that are actually compatible with iOS8/iPhone 6? As I said I haven't done this in a while.

I *just* jailbroke 8.1 with the latest pangu and the application said 1.0.1. Once everything booted back up, there was a blue Pangu app that let me install Cydia. Everything has been peachy since then.

Just jailbroke my 6 Plus. It's the first device I've jailbroken since I had an iPhone 4. I've installed OpenSSH and Top (hey, what can I say,I like looking at running processes sometimes), f.lux and NoSlowAnimations, but I'm looking for some more things to install (unfortunately, BrowserChanger doesn't appear to work with iOS 8 yet). What do y'all have on your phones?

Just jailbroke my 6 because of this and it worked without a single problem. Considering it's my first non-Android phone after 5 years in that camp and all the runarounds for rooting that stuff involved I didn't know what to expect, but that was quite painless. Looking forward to checking out all the tweaks as they get updated, seems to be a ton of useful ones out there.

Yeah I had a LOT of problems with my iPad, havnt done my phone yet. The bar would keep getting like 2/3 full then weird red moon language errors would pop up. I ended up restoring my phone, then it worked on the like third try. Idunno what was wrong, but got it in the end!

More detail:
The first time I did it, the progress bar flew through super fast and stopped about 90% in. The pangu icon was there so I thought, whatever, but it threw errors trying to install cydia. So I installed ssh with pangu to install cydia manually, but it wouldn't accept a connection from putty or winscp. That's when I tried a few more times with even less success to jailbreak. After I restored it, the progress bar took much longer to move, but kept stopping about 50% I was about to give up so hit the jailbreak button one more time and it went through without a hitch...
