I basically want it like Android or desktop operating systems where there is still a grid, but I can put them where I want without them being justified as is default on iDevices

I don't see why everyone is bitching about this jailbreak, just downgrade iTunes to 12.1 and it works just fine.

Nope. Main dev left a year ago or something and nothing ever happened after that. Someone on reddit decided to make a tweak similar to BiteSMS; Columba. Nowhere near as refined but it's being updated.

There used to be several tweaks to send your GPS data from a GPS-enabled device to a wifi device. However, all the devs have dropped off the planet so none of them are updated. One claims to work on ios8, but doesn't.

Probably futile, but anyone familiar with a way to accomplish this nowadays? I know I could just use one of the various location faking apps but this is for a game I actually want to play fair on.

Trip report: I was able to use taig 2.1.3 to jailbreak my iPhone 6 with no problem whatsoever. I simply followed the tutorial on their site.

That being said, now the Ingress app won't open, stating that 'iOS integrity check failed'.

Is there a workaround to fool apps that check for this?

Check out the repo http://cydia.qusic.me/ for Xgress.

There used to be one called roqy-BT or something like that which would allow you to use a cheap Bluetooth-enabled GPS logger. Dunno whether that's been keep updated either.

If you're on 8.2 or earlier, use tsprotector 8. If you're on 8.3, tsprotector doesn't work right yet.

Wow thanks for the quick responses. I tried cress and xcon and the both didn't work. The xgress developer states in the description that it doesn't work with the newest version of Ingress.

Tsprotector wouldn't even let me install.

I appreciate the help in the right direction though guys.

The only reason I want to jailbreak is for custom carrier text and f.lux. Sucks that I'll have to weigh having those tweaks vs. playing my favorite game.


EDIT: Tsprotector 8 actually seems to be working. I'm on 8.3 and ingress v1.79.1.

I was able to load the game and do a few actions. Though I have read that some game actions can be affected by using a workaround. I won't know until tomorrow when I get out to try and do more in game actions.

Earlier when I said it wouldn't let me install Tsprotector , I was trying a very old version, and I had not installed the proper repo for ts protector 8.

I've been playing with tsprotector since the game came out on iOS with no issues. That's their only jailbreak check that I know of.

That is great to hear. Thanks!

I guess I will start customizing my phone then!

That being said, is there a list of 8.3 compatible tweaks?

I hope that Springtomize gets updated. Until then what are the 5 icon dock and custom carrier tweaks of choice for 8.3?

EDIT looks like Fake Carrier works just fine. No luck on a five icon dock yet.

I've started to use Apex 2 and love it, but it doesn't look like there is a way to use Apex 2 and tweaks that move icons around (iconoclasm, homescreendesigner). Are there any icon-moving tweaks that are friendly with Apex 2, or is it basically one or the other?

Are there other apps similar to Apex 2 (hiding apps in apps) that will work with iconoclasm and the like?


edit: Also, if I download a theme like 0xygen's wallpapers, where are they stored? I can find in winterboard where to turn the theme on, but I can't find the wallpaper pack I downloaded through cydia.

8.4 goes out starting at 8AM Pacific Time on Tuesday.

I'm still on 8.1.2 jailbreak and my computer is broken. Is it recommended for me to try and find a computer Monday afternoon to restore to 8.3 and jailbreak, or is 8.1.2 good enough to wait for an 8.4 or 9 jailbreak? Any glaring security holes that were patched in 8.3?

If they've patched the 8.3 exploit in 8.4 then you're going to likely be on your current config for quite a while before the next jailbreak, unless TaiG has something up their sleeves. If you're fine with 8.1.2 you can stay there. You can get a quick overview of the update history here or search for the specific security fixes between releases.

What is the proper repo for tsProtector 8? Is typ0s2d10.appspot.com/repo the right one or should I be looking somewhere else? edit: Never mind, that one works fine. Just downloaded Ingress out of curiosity and no warning about my being jailbroken.

Worked smooth as butter for my iPhone 5s, I'm happy to say! Mind you, I never bothered upgrading iTunes from 12.1, so that was never an issue. But I was surprised how painlessly and quickly this went.

Now I just need to decide whether I should update my iPad third gen to 8.3 and re-jailbreak... it seems to have slowed down so much since I upgraded it from iOS 7. Not sure whether 8.3 will help or hurt.

I dunno. I downloaded the IPSW and just did a shift+update button update. It updated and then jailbroke flawlessly and nothing had to be downloaded again except for Cydia apps, which still retained all their preferences after reinstalling them.

AptBackup, Open Backup, PkgBackup, xBackup, yeah there are a couple. Combined with apple cloud taking care of regular apps, jailbreaking is such an effortless thing I laugh everytime someone posts about computer janitor work in the ios app thread.

Besides, this is the opportunity to trim your tweak list because chances are you don't use 90% of what you've accumulated since the last.

There doesn't seem to be any need to restore; shift-update worked for both my iPhone and iPad. Reinstalling my Cydia apps didn't take that long, either, though I did trim the fat in the process.
