Could just be coincidence as I've now been jailbroken for nearly a week, but the last couple days my 6+ had been almost dead by bedtime. (it normally can go nearly 2 days with my use.)

I've definitely had some increased battery usage. It's not killing my phone but after a slow day I'm down to ~50% where before I would barely dip below 75.

Looks like Eclipse got updated for iOS8 on Cydia, now called Eclipse 2. Pretty cool if you like having a dark themed iOS. So far have found it to be crashing my Messages app sometimes but otherwise works great.

Update and Jailbreak went seamlessly and am liking the upgrade. However, I too am finding the battery drain a little odd. DetailedBatteryUsage shows both accountsd and cloudd to be the main culprits on my I5. My ipad3 seems unchanged in UI speed and battery usage.

Really looking forward to Safari Download Manager and Backgrounder to start working again.

As someone said before, those services are iCloud back and restore, so to be expected if you just restored.

Personally I have not had noticeable battery drain, but ios8 just felt really sluggish until I installed NoSlowAnimations.

There are some games and apps that straight up won't work on a jail broken device, by design. Like error message 'gently caress off jailbreaker' and closes. Tsprotector hides the fact that you are jail broken from these apps.

I want to try out a couple of iPhone apps on my iPad: tweetbot and overcast.

Is the Fullforce tweak for iPad updated yet, and which repo would it be in. Version in Cydia by default says it's incompatible.

Jailbreak went pretty well, I did start installing apps off my AppInfo before checking for compatibility on the spreadsheet which caused some springboard crashes but once I giot rid of those apps all's well.

I am looking forward to stuff like AdBlocker, biteSMS, Forecast, PMP, Springtomize and MyVibe to get updated. 3x3 icons and no folder-in-folder is kind of annoying.

FolderEnhancer is updated, and AdBlocker got released as AdBlocker 2.

Assuming you mean AdBlocker, I'm not sure.

As far as Springtomize goes, try out HideMe8's beta on the http://repo.cpdigitaldarkroom.com repo. It covers a good 80% of what Springtomize did.

And HideMe8 gets near-daily updates. And the dev puts out lite versions of most of his big apps. And he doesn't charge you for an iOS 7 compatible version that actually has less functional features than the iOS 6 version.

Sorry about the vitriol. But the Springtomize dev is an asshat.

Oh nice, I had actually purchased FolderEnhancer way-back-when but stopped using it for Springtomize. Looks like I can upgrade to the 8.1 version off my old license. I love my nested folders.

Change the Zoom Region setting to 'Full Screen Zoom' and continue with the steps. By the time you try the shortcut you should get a full screen dark overlay with no zoom.

Yeah, fiddle with the full screen zoom settings after you select the low light filter. The article I linked leaves that part out.

So I did what you said and nothing changed about me being stuck. It mentions setting a filter and I just don't see that option at all.

[Ed] got it working, I had to turn on the controller and tap it. Totally not mentioned.

That's sad because I jailbreak for tweaks and not to play questionable games with lovely IAP hooks. Ok not entirely but I don't spend money on those questionable IAPs.

You're missing the why. It's an added layer of darkness. It makes the screen darker while the bar stays where it was. So when you're laying next to your wife and baby at midnight and you load up a safari page, it doesn't blind them. (Because a fully dimmed 6+ on a white screen is still way bright.)

I play the game Ingress a whole lot. It's a location based 'augmented reality' (blech) thing, it was just recently released on iOS a few months ago, and they won't let it run on jailbroken phones for fear or gps spoofing I guess. No iap or freemium junk.

I just want to have a jailbroken phone, and play this one game...

Out of curiosity I downloaded Ingress on my phone and it never gave me a warning about a jailbroken device. I didn't sign in to Google as it asks but I'd think a check would be performed on startup before anything.

Nah it gives the error after you log in. Wonder if they log what accounts try and log in on jb devices...

Like the check is probably done at startup but only errors after you log in.
