Not trying to be a dick: It's a tethered jailbreak, you have to go to "extras" and "just boot" in redsn0w each time you power down/up or restart. Did you do this?
What this dude said. That includes the reboot immediately after jailbreaking.
Fun fact, you can rename the redsnow .exe to anything with the word 'boot' in it and it will automatically take you to the tethered part.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a jailbreak app that'll allow you to restrict certain apps from calling home or accessing the data connection? Having to turn on Airplane Mode is annoying and can make me miss calls.
Firewall iP can block all connections to specific apps. It's a paid Cydia app. It's also good for blocking ads (especially in Safari).

I'm just afraid it won't boot after upgrading to 5.0.1 before re-jailbreaking with all my mobilesubstrate poo poo installed.

I considered trying it to give my wife's 4 access to my 4s siri, but after reading the directions and hearing about all the pains in asses involved, I decided against it. If I didn't have a 4s to use for the key I wouldn't have even considered it. YMMV.
I found it to be pretty simple to set up...the only issue I have is outside access to my VPN so I can use it wherever haha. It's more of a novelty thing really. While there are some pretty sweet plugins, I don't have a use for any. I made one that just spits out random racist jokes though, more for shock value when I show it to company. When a 4S jailbreak comes out though, things will become very interesting.

And I can't get it to work on my freakin' iPad. Spire's all sorts of screwed up on it. Yes, I know it's not technically compatible with it, but I wanted to at least try damnit!

Anyone used Spire? Thinking about jail breaking just for it, but wondering if it's even possible to find a good host...is it even right to talk about it here?
You absolutely do not want to use any public host. Siri sends a ton of personal info, including your current location, and it's trivial to gather that data.

Is there a purpose to installous other than piracy? I'm genuinely curious.

So do you have a 4 or 4s or what? Can you describe your setup a bit and maybe link to a guide you used? Maybe I found the lovely ones...
I've got a 4S and an iPad 1. I'm running Siriproxy in a Ubuntu 11.10 VM. Specifically, I'm running https://github.com/westbaer/SiriProxy that fork of it, because it stores the 4S' auth keys for ~24hrs until they become invalid. It doesn't send them anywhere, just stores them locally (you can check the code yourself). That's required for non-4S devices to use it.

I pretty much followed that guide as it's self-explanatory and for the most part you can straight up copy+paste in the commands to Terminal, but it'd be advantageous if you have at least a little knowledge of linux command-line.



Anyone know anything about VPNs? Hit me up, check my profile.

That AssistantConnect app in Cydia is pretty fuckin sweet. Before that, to get Siri on my iPad 1 I had to run ubuntu in a vm and running a siriproxy server, configure networking and all that bullshit so I could VPN in from anywhere, and it would only maybe work. And also my computer at home goes to sleep after 2 hours of inactivity so it was pretty much worthless anyway.

Now all I gotta do is hit a button that emails auth stuff to my iPad, and load the email attachment and I'm good for 24 hours.

...and I've yet to see a JB app that does just this. All I want is added functionality for the Reminders app that keeps reminders a) constantly on my lock screen, rather than just on a given day/at a given location, and b) persistent (ie. doesn't go away the minute you unlock your phone).

The closest thing I've seen is iReminder but it's ugly as sin, and it doesn't interface with the default Reminders app in any way, shape or form.

Any ideas?
LockInfo can do this, it's the way I have it set up on my phone.

It can still be jailbroken. I've seen some people complaining that OTA updates are not compatible with the jailbreaks though so I don't know if that will affect you. You are SOL on getting the blobs.
OTA updates aren't compatible with same-major-version firmware restoration (like 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 for example), the jailbreak should work fine.

So, I made a little Cydia tweak today as an experiment. It's called In a Minute, and it lets you select minutes in datepickers, which usually only let you choose in intervals.

That may not be so clear. Maybe pictures will help.

Before: After:

Works system-wide, even with Cydia tweaks like Tap to Remind (which is awesome).
Should be up on the BigBoss repo soon.

I wrote it for SBSettings because that's what I use! Maybe some day this week when I've got some time I'll look into writing a toggle for NCSettings (I'm assuming that's what you're using). I've never used it and don't really know much about it.

And also, thank you for even taking the time to write a toggle.
Theos build system, by Dustin Howett. The language itself is called Logos but its basically objective-c with custom operators (%hook, %orig, %group, etc). That's my understanding of it, at least.

edit: NCSettings was apparently discontinued? That's strange considering how popular it is. I looked into it a little and it doesn't seem like I'd have to make a lot of changes to get it working with NCSettings.

So, I've got my NCSettings toggle working but every icon I make for it is total poo poo. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but would anyone mind whipping one up for me? I've honestly spent more time fiddling with the icon than getting the toggle itself working. I've still got some packaging stuff I need to do so there's no rush. I've got 4 psd's here, on and off 1x and 2x - yoink.

edit 2: I made the icons, they look nice. Need to figure out one small but important thing first before it'll be release ready for Cydia, but I can post it here with manual instructions, if anyone wants.

Been sitting on this for a while, but I just got a definitive answer to my issue so I'm cool posting this now.
I know it's not a big deal, but there were people here who wanted this toggle, so here it is.

The issue is, the developer of NCSettings somehow broke the new-toggle-detection in the latest version 1.7.1 (his words), so simply installing the .deb won't work. I have not tested it with any older versions, which may detect it just fine.
The way it has to be done until he fixes the issue (which he said he would do "sometime"), would be adding a string to the "Hidden" array with the value of "MatchInMusic" (case sensitive) in it's settings plist, located at /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.jamied360.ncsettings.plist.
Here's the link: http://limelinx.com/e1py6

This is great thank you, but
I'm a bit confused as to where I drop this file I've downloaded.

Also is there a download manager for chrome?
So, you need to install the .deb file first, like any other Cydia package. Cydia has an auto-install system but to be honest I've never used it, you can search for how to do that.

You can do this whole thing on-device via iFile (it should install the .deb fine, definitely can do the plist edit). But, if you can't do it in iFile, just SSH to your phone (or use an app like Prompt in the AppStore and connect to 127.0.0.1)

Step 1: Installation. So, either in iFile or a terminal, navigate to wherever you put the file (regarding Chrome download manager: I don't know if one exists; there's a Safari one in Cydia that's really good). Use iFile to install it (or, terminal command: dpkg -i whatever_you_saved_the_file_as.deb).

Step 2: Plist edit. Using iFile now, navigate to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/ and open up com.jamied360.ncsettings.plist in the plist editor. You'll see there's an array key called "Hidden", where you'll see names of other hidden toggles. Add a new entry, and make the value of it "MatchInMusic" (case-sensitive). I personally also increase the number of toggles visible (the key names are obvious), but that's your call.

Step 3: Respring, go to Settings.app and drag your new toggle to the "Visible" section in NCSettings. Done!

Bucket Joneses posted:

Are you doing this from your phone? That sounds like a nightmare. Do you have a laptop/desktop from which to SSH?
It's really not so bad, but it's obviously far from ideal.
I've talked to the dev of NCSettings a bit, and there's no telling when he'll push out the bug fix that makes step 2 unnecessary (techtalk: he re-wrote his preference bundle and forgot to write a toggle detection function). Because of this, I can't just submit it to a default Cydia repo, because it won't show up for anyone without the plist edit! It's the reason I was sitting on this for a while, but since there's no timeframe of when it'll be fixed, I figured at least some people can use it, and my work won't go to waste.

Use it to de-activate the phone, then plug it into your computer and run iTunes, and it'll unlock the phone (provided it's actually been approved for unlocking by your carrier). That's how I did it on my 4S, didn't have to upgrade firmwares because I wanted to keep my jailbreak.

For those who use iTunes Match: I just ported over my MatchInMusic toggle to use the Flipswitch framework, and this new version works better than the old SBSettings/NCSettings versions. Because it's now a Flipswitch, it works with any tweak that uses the framework (I personally use CCControls).

If you don't know what it is, it's just a toggle for the "Show Music" option, which either shows or hides Match tracks in the music app (as opposed to only displaying music stored on your device).

It's in the BigBoss repo under the predictable name "MatchInMusic Flipswitch".

The default album organizer is pointless because you can copy a picture from one album to the other but you can't delete it from the original source. Seems pointless. Does this let me do that or does anyone know a tweak that will? I can only assume this is changed in ios7
Think of photo albums as symlinks to images in the camera roll. If you delete a pic from the camera roll, then yeah it'll be deleted from any albums it's in. I don't think there is a way around this.
