Infinidock works on iOS 8.1. It's not five icons, though. It just lets you put as many icons as you want and scroll through the dock.

Yeah but it's messed up on the 6+ (unless there was an update I didn't see) when you go into landscape mode.

Yeah that's my problem, not just ios8 but iphone 6+ with its weird resolution and landscape mode sideways dock.

Is that thing that hides the fact that you're jailbroken (tsprotector?) updated yet? Super Stickman Golf just started doing jailbreak checks and now I can't play my turn based games and I'm FREAKING OUT.

Yeah add the repo posted earlier, been working for me. I just started a new turn based stickman golf and played the first round so it seems that's working.

Flex is also super great at killing a lot of these jailbreak checks, as well.

In fact, I would not be surprised if the functionality of TSProtector or similar tweaks could be duplicated perfectly just by using Flex.

I would also call Flex one of those must-own tweaks for anyone who likes to tinker under the hood of apps or games.

Is there something like Switchspring for iOS 8? And is Apple still signing 8.1? I'm still not sure I'm subjecting my 3rd gen iPad to an update, but I guess I might not have the option anymore anyway.

Sorry, guy.
So like 2 or 3 nights ago I stripped everything BUT the actual jailbreak off my 6+ to diagnose if the battery would go back to it's awesome '1.5 - 2 days without a charge' capacity.

It's still basically hitting 20% warning by about 9pm and I feel like I'm using my phone far less intensely than I was when it first came out (when it impressed me.)

If it's not the jailbreak (which I guess I will have to unjailbreak to find out... I wonder if maybe it is 8.1?

I updated my iPad 3 to 8.1 just for the new jailbreak and it's been doing just fine. I was worried it would really suffer from slowdowns but I personally haven't noticed any real difference from before.

On the fence about both jailbreaking and my continuing relationship with Google Voice. Not sure if texting from a browser window is worth all the weirdness of GV on a phone. Is there anything jailbreaky that somehow integrates GV and makes it less annoying? Like needing to manually refresh the app to check texts? I assume that a lot of GV tweaks have gone away, just like GV users. I may just port my number away from Google and back to my phone like a normal human.

I remember reading about a Cydia tweak to get rid of fb messenger and go back to the way messaging used to work within the app

Is that still a thing and does it work with ios8?

SMS on GV 8 is out, but you'd need to check out the details.

Welp. This is just great. In the middle of backing up (which has been 9.5 hours), my device suddenly reboots, and now iTunes does nothing when I plug it in, but pops up a window saying it was detected, but couldn't be identified properly.

Guess I'm hosed, and also stuck with 7.1.2.

A tethered backup? Do you have any iCloud backups to use? You can put it in DFU and restore to 8.1 after you exhaust all other attempts. Do you have another cord to try?

Directly connected to my PC. No iCloud backups. And now it's just loving up all over. Rebooted, then froze on the lock screen. Cydia is just coming up blank, then crashing.

At this point, I have no fucks left to give about backing things up. It's been almost 24 hours of fighting this poo poo. I'm so done.

Try one last time rebooting and hold the Volume Up button to disable Cydia Substrate and see if that gets you anywhere.

Awesome, thanks so much. These tweaks are worth a jailbreak alone. gently caress messenger.


I know battery chat is getting tiring but the battery life on my 6 does kind of suck. I'm on 8.1 and I have


Tage (like zephyr for multitasking)
Möbius (go left on first app page to go to the last and vice versa)
Bloard (dark keyboard)
Cylinder (like barrel)
Betterfiveicondock
Detailedbatteryusage (doesn't show anything abnormal)
Virtual home (which I disabled thinking that was the culprit)
Flipcontrolcenter (add or remove toggles from the swipe up thing)
Zeppelin (change carrier logo)
Noslowanimations
Showcase (show lower case on keyboard when applicable)
Swipeselection (move keyboard cursor left or right by swiping on the keyboard. Highly recommend)
F.lux
Springtomize 3 (haven't enabled anything yet)

It also seems like it's draining 10%+ overnight if it's not plugged in. But I keep forgetting to remember what it is when I go to bed


I have background app refresh and motion effect off

Regarding Messenger, I was one of the haters but I finally acquiesced when I realized I could set it to Push notifications. It turns messenger into more of a text messaging app, something I found useful and didn't think about before.

If you are going to use fbnoneedmessenger, be wary of updating the facebook app "too soon" since it could always break the tweak's functionality.

So this morning, finally having decided to jailbreak my iPad, suddenly I can't turn off Find My iPad. Plus I keep getting bugged about logging into iCloud randomly, even though I'm logged in and I know I'm inputting the correct password. Also when I plugged my iPad into my PC, it didn't recognize it as a trusted PC anymore.

My plan was to enter DFU mode and then restore from iTunes, but some quick Googling led to discussions about how that doesn't fix the problem anymore. Anyone know how to fix this? It's not just a question of jailbreaking now, I'm also worried about not being able to restore, period.

I think this has happened to me and the solution was to go in to itunes and reset sync alerts and notifications or something.

edit 2: Huh. Held down the volume up button when rebooting as a last ditch before DFU restore and everything's hunky-dory. Guess one of the updated Cydia apps was screwing things up.

Has a anyone use a 6 to record at a concert yet? My friend showed me his recording from a couple weeks ago and it absolutely blew my away how great quality it was. Usually the bass just destroys any clarity but the audio from his video almost sounded like a direct soundboard recording.

Glad to hear this works, I normally use it but noticed it didn't say it was updated for iOS 8 so I hadn't installed it yet.

I know a few people have complained about 5 icon dock squishing all the icons but I haven't seen that while using it, I'm also using DockShift because I like a transparent dock so maybe that's fixing the squished icon bug. Worth a try for anybody with the issue.

On the battery chat: my biggest drain is Home & Lock Screen which I guess is just me checking to see if I have new mail. I would like if I could change the mail app to check mail every two hours and maybe disable auto-checking during set times when I'm asleep, that's probably save a bit of battery.

I *was* using the latest Windows version, 1.2.1. Update to 8.1 and restore via iTunes on PC.

I got it to work, but I had to shut off partway through. Now I've got two different issues trying to do this on my MacBook Air:

1) On the Mac side, Pangu hangs on part 2 "Transferring Resources." I was horrified to see it completely filled up the empty space on my OS X partition. I can't figure out where those files are to delete them, either.
2) On the PC side, I keep getting a "Try to activate your device" error. I don't know what is being asked for. I have the latest iTunes, my iPad trusts this computer, passcode and find my device are off.

I am at my wit's end and since I am traveling, I am stuck using my MacBook to do this for the next several days.
