where am I
Is there a way of upgrading my already jailbroken 8 install to 8.1.1 without upgrading, then rejailbreaking then installing everything over again? What's the best way to do this that won't require an afternoon of adjusting.

Look on the bright side.



About to JB my 6 for the first time in a few years and I was wondering if I can turn back on and use Touch ID and Find My IPhone after jailbreaking?

Yup! In fact, I don't ever remember turning those off for the jailbreak process...

In order to use 8.1.1 you will have to redo everything over again. Also, 8.1.2 dropped today so I'm not sure how long 8.1.1 will be signed.

What are the main advantages for jailbreaking with this generation? What are the coolest Cydia apps that I can't get on the App Store? I don't have a huge interest in visually customizing the phone, and the swipe-up settings center takes care of most one-touch settings for me.

Explore and find out for yourself. The only thing that question does is make people post their personal setups that nobody's paying attention to any ways. No information comes out of those posts, just a random collection of names.

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

I don't know why people feel like they need to be convinced to jailbreak. But just read through the last 5 pages most of it is talk about must have apps. The big one for most is f.lux. Bitesms as well but it isn't updated yet.

Also for me the ones I list below and facebooknoneedmessenger and swipeselection and noslowanimations

Ok I highly recommend checking out tage If you liked zephyr or Auxo 2. There's a 3 day trial but it's like $2 otherwise. Not sure how it'll work with the new Auxo (whenever it comes) looks like it's one or the other

Virtual home is also pretty great. Anyone with a 5s or up should check it out.

Showcase is also another really simple but great tweak (Shows keyboard letters as lowercase when applicable)

And of course flip control center if you haven't used that before

Mobius also works and is free. It's like wraparound. http://repo.tylercasson.com/


Also apparently a bitesms update is coming

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
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)

There was something called DefaultPlayer in the bigboss repo but all the articles and posts about it I can find are about ios 7. It might work for 8, might be worth a shot. I can't go look for myself right now.

Is there any way to disable all notifications when running certain apps?

It's annoying to try and play a game or watch a movie at the same time as your friends decide to start sending a billion messages for whatever reason.

I'm not aware of anything that addresses this specifically but maybe just toggle a flipswitch for Do Not Disturb while you're in that certain app/game?

DND only works while the phone is locked. If you're actually using it notifications behave as normal.

You can set it to 'Always' or 'Only while iPhone is locked'

8.1.1 for now is possible, but you may as well go to 8.1.2 as it is exploitable as well.

8.1 is history

Oh hey 8.1.2 is jailbreakable? I was expecting it to plug whatever exploit was in 8.1/8.1.1 . I guess I should update/jailbreak/restore before 8.1.3 comes out.:argh:

I do this just for f.lux and TetherMe. Nothing else.:suicide:

Disco all night long!

Noslowanimations is updated with an experimental feature, that being freeze the gently caress out of my and some other people's phones.

So if anyone runs into that you gotta go into safe mode, uninstall noslowanimations, delete its plist file thing and reinstall.

BrainDance
May 8, 2007

Disco all night long!

Yeah, what I did was go into icleaner pro, then advanced, preference files and found the plist for noslowanimations. Then I deleted it. I'm sure there are other ways to do it but I can't remember where exactly that plist file is, but I'm sure you could just go into ifile or something, find it and delete it.

Otherwise, if you reinstall noslowanimations it's just going to be broken again. That resets all the settings for noslowanimations.

Noslowanimations released an update earlier tonight that removed the experimental thing, so everything should be good again.

What's the best tweak compatible with 8.1.2 for giving me a quick menu to respring or reboot my phone? Preferably something that will enhance the normal "slide to power down" screen.

Ah there was something called Power Slider or Slide to Power or something along those lines that could do that.

I have no patience for Apple's cute animations so I use Activator to turn a long sleep button hold into a menu popup with shutdown options.
