:siren:There's currently an issue with the Pangu9 jailbreak with some phones getting caught in a boot loop. :siren:

Please consider not jailbreaking until it's figured out.

They currently think it's something to do with the unsafe reboots. It's being looked into. If it happens to your phone, put it into restore mode (Hold Power and Home buttons past the boot logo until your phone insists you plug it into iTunes), restore your phone, and you can re-jailbreak. Or just live with vanilla iOS 9.0.2 until whatever is causing it is figured out. The BootLoop shouldn't damage your phone in anywaay, besides requiring a restore. Also, since Apple may stop signing 9.0.2, you may want to leave your 9.0.2 intact until a much more stable Pangu9 is released.

You can follow this thread on reddit if you want to stay apprised of the situation.

Does this block youtube ads as well? I currently have adblocker 2, which does but it doesn't seem to block cydia or in-app ads.

No, but if you care that much buy Cercube 2 when it gets updated and that will kill YouTube ads nicely.

Edit: Minimal Hosts Blocker kills lots, maybe even most or all in-app ads.

Was stuck in a reboot loop after running the Pangu jailbreak so I manually upgraded after putting the phone into DFU. After a fresh jailbreak and sync, it's now working like a charm.

I'm really sad to hear that LockInfo won't be updated to iOS 9 – it's one of my most beloved tweaks, and one of the core reasons I JB in the first place.

Is there a Springboard element hider/changer that's iOS 9-ready or preferred? I used to use a combination of Springtomize and HideMe8 but didn't know if there were better alternatives. More than anything I'm looking to hide icon labels, tweak status bar icons, and get 5 icon columns, among other niceties.

I use Cloaky for status bar stuff, and betterFiveColumnHomescreen for the columns. OpenNotifier doesn't seem to be fully compatible yet, at least until libstatusbar is updated. I don't know the best one to hide icon labels.

I'm trying to use Legacy Switcher to bring back the iOS 8-style app switcher but it doesn't seem to work for me. I cannot stand the new style.

Very nice suggestions, thanks! Now to wait for some of my other old favorites to be updated for iOS 9 and then I'll really be in business.

I was pretty impressed with the transition from 7 to 8 and while 9 has had some hiccups, it looks like keeping my jailbreak has become pretty darn easy.

Word is the current exploit used in this jb is patched in 9.1. Most recommend doing a hard restore before jailbreaking, but you could always give it a try with the OTA.

I'm running iOS9 on my iPad 3 and it is painful to use now, everything is so slow! I even deleted everything and it's still poo poo. Can I revert back to older IOS, or will jailbreaking make it quicker? Never jailbroken a device before but seems like a last resort as apple doesn't seem to let us go back to old OS's from what I can gather.

Or will a jailbreak still be based on the slow ios9? Surely it's not stuck being an expensive, slow paperweight.

The boot loop bugs are an issue with the untether itself. Doesn’t matter if you’re OTA or not.

For what it’s worth, I flawlessly jailbroke 2 devices that had been OTA’ed to 9.0.2. I had lots of trouble with jailbreaking a device that had been restored to 9.0.2, but I eventually got it to work.

It will still be ios9. I haven't updated yet so I don't really know what's up with slowness. There are tweaks that make it feel faster when you jailbreak, like speed up the animations and transitions and stuff. They can make it feel much faster.

If you mean like you click an app then have to wait several seconds for it to open, or input lag or whatevs, not sure you can fix that.

Maybe backup your iPad and do a full restore? Or wait until newer versions of 9 come out that might fix the slowness. Often the major revision of iOS is slow and resource intensive, then gets smoothed out in minor releases.

Edit: no you can't go backwards

How do you figure out what's making Cydia crash? I installed the essential upgrades when they came out, as well as updating a couple of other apps (can't remember which, though), several days ago. Everything was working fine up until yesterday morning and now Cydia keeps closing as soon as it loads. I can boot into safe mode and start uninstalling (or hopefully just downgrading) apps, but wonder if there's an easier way.

This is on the 8.4 jailbreak, by the way.

Can you post the user-level apps you've installed? I've ran into quite a few conflicts this round, notably with CCSettings, NoSlowAnimations, and a couple others. There is also a Google docs spreadsheet listing compatible tweaks.

Install CrashReporter (in the BigBoss repo). It'll keep logs of your crashes and list possible suspects. Since you're on the 8.4 jailbreak still, most tweaks should be 100% compatible, unless it was one of the essential upgrades. If so, Maybe you'll be able to downgrade the tweaks if that is still possible through Cydia.

Having the same problem with Cydia now myself too. Started right after installing Anemone. I'm in 9.0.2 so the only tweaks I've installed are 5 icon dock, swipe selection, and anemone. How do I reboot in safe mode to try and get rid of Anemone?

Thanks! Was able to update Cydia and it's stable now. I tried to install Apex 2 but it says my version of iOS isn't supported and instead of install it just says 'Recheck'. I'm running 9.0.2... Any idea why it thinks it's not compatible? Everything I'm reading says it should be.

Zephyr lets you close all apps by swiping down on the main screen in the multi tasker and you can specify which ones to not close on the settings . That's all I got

Illlooklater is fantastic for preserving your battery life. CCSettings is pretty neat, and Anemone is winterboard but better. Minimal Hosts Blocker is a really lightweight device-wide adblock. Reveal Menu will give your 3D touch on older devices. Speed intensifier to speed up animations. SpotlightBeGone because spotlight is stupid.

Superslam is the best tweak though.

-FakeClockUp sounds the same as Speed intensifier but whichever is better, they're definitely worth trying out. You never realised how slow the animations in IOS can be.
-BerryC8 lets you launch up to 6 apps from the lock screen.
-Zeppelin lets you hide the drat carrier name.
-I'm still looking for something to let you clear notifications with a single press that works on IOS9.

I can't seem to find FakeClockUp, is it in it's own repository? I used to use noslowanimations but last I checked it didn't work on iOS9.

Also, what are people using for a 5 icon dock on 9? I used to use betterfiveicondock from RedPanda but I don't they've updated it yet.
