I checked in Flex also for a patch to disable JB check but no one has created one for it yet. Other apps have patches in Flex so maybe one will pop up there for the game..

On Android, it was standard for a phone to pop up a Windows UAC-esque Allow/Deny dialog when and app attempted root access. Is there anything like that for iOS, or does the way that jailbreaks work not allow for it?

Just noticed a new jailbreak is out. Anything cool lately? Is all the old stuff still compatible with iOS8?

I haven't used a jailbreak in like 2 years, but did enjoy some simple tweaks like Cyntac and the thing that made it look like a TV turning off when you locked it.

Honestly, with each new major version of iOS, there is less and less reason to jailbreak for tweaks. Apple is doing a pretty decent job taking design queues from hackers for core functionality.

Ios8 jailbreak is only like a week old, and most tweaks weren't compatible, but the devs are working hard on updates! Progress was kinda slow for a few days but now dozens of tweak updates are being released each day.

Most recent estimate on biteSMS is apparently "months" now.

My current fav tweaks are LittleBrother, TinyBar, BioLockdown, Calendar for Lockscreen, Forecast, and iCaughtU Pro with a few other little things that make the experience better.

Yeah after using the quick reply, it works I guess, but not nearly as good as bites me. Like it really annoys me when I am quick responding to a text, then another text comes in and deletes it all.

It should be a law if you mention a tweak you have to say what it does. :)

LittleBrother - landscape mode home screen for iphone 6
TinyBar - notifications in status bar
BioLockdown - protect indivudal apps with touchid
Calendar for Lockscreen - I'll give you a pass on this
Forecast - weather on lock screen
iCaughtU Pro - take a picture with the front camera is the passcode is entered incorrectly

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.

Xcon also works like this, problem is xcon hasn't really been updated since ios7 came out.

Any suggestions other than bitesms that actually work? I remember their used to be a few, and while the quick reply in stock 8 is an improvement over how ios used to do it, it simply doesn't stand up comparatively.

F.lux is always the first thing I install, but I'm amazed Apple didn't rip that off in 8


My must haves so far for ios8 are DetailedBatteryUsage and NoSlowAnimations.

Activator since I like to set a few features for when I put my phone on the charger, like enabling GPS and switch it off when I unplug.

iCleaner to keep thing clean
ToneEnabler so I can set my .mp3 tracks for my ringtone and alarm sound.

What's the name of the old program that was like NoSlowAnimation that people used to use? FakeClockUp or something like that. I think it worked with all animations (including swipes) which NoSlow doesn't seem to work with.

Edit yeah it's FakeClockUp. Gotta add a repo for it though (http://hitoriblog.com/apt). It works with all iOS animations though so I like it better than NSA. Seems to be working fine on iOS 8 so far.

Edit2 I lied its a bit buggy still.

As long as you updated through usb and not wifi. If you updated on wifi it still might gently caress up. I tried with this jailbreak and it worked, as in my iPhone wasn't stuck in a boot loop, but cydia couldn't do anything without giving me a dpkg error.

And if you mess it up, you're gonna have to restore. Which I think means updating iOS. And then...

Yep, as others have said, f.lux is a necessity. I can drudge on without other tweaks, but unless I want to never use my phone within an hour of bed time, I need f.lux. And really, the also aforementioned minimum screen brightness tweak is needed too. The stock minimum screen brightness level is just too drat high for a dark room, even with f.lux.

These two tweaks are also very unlikely to become stock iOS features. I guess they could add them in the accessibility section, but I doubt it will happen.

Why not with flux? They make tvs and monitors with the same feature, it's not exactly super obscure, and seems an easy option to add.

Want to make sure the "rules" are still the same as the last time I did this.. I'm currently running a jailbroken 5S on 7.1.2 and want to upgrade to 8.1 and re-jailbreak.

I *think* what I want to do is the following:
- Backup to iTunes
- "Restore iPhone..." to 8.1
- Jailbreak
- "Restore Backup..."

Is that the long and short of it?

I would just do this:

- Backup to iTunes
- "Update" using iTunes
- Jailbreak

OTA updates (i.e. on the phone, not through iTunes) can cause problems with the jailbreak, but I've never had any issues after updating using iTunes.

Even after removing the battery hog Bitcoin Billionaire I'm still finding that lately my phone discharges its battery very quickly. This is a 6+, so it should last well over a day but it's about 20% tonight at 7:30pm. I'm not sure if it's jailbreak related or if it's just that now that there's a detailed battery usage app in my jailbreak that I can see three daemons; backboardd, aggregated and locationd taking up 5% each.

Home and lock screen is 11%, Safari is 15% and AwfulApp is 18% (it's my most-used app for sure.)
