Does anyone else use SnowCover4, and if so, does it sometimes reboot your phone to Safe Mode after a song change? I can't track this problem down to anything else..

I literally cannot stand using the iPhone without all the jailbreak features I've become accustomed to over the years. Not only for most of those apps mentioned above (biteSMS, SBSettings), but things like Activator and small stuff like Five Icon Dock/Rows, FolderEnhancer, SwitcherMod, having ssh access to customize little things here and there..

I wouldn't use the iPhone if I didn't have access to all of these comforts and conveniences. Just tried iOS 5 now and I couldn't take more than 20 minutes of feeling so restricted before I switched back.

Didn't BiteSMS gently caress with Facebook a while back? Or vice versa? Not a big deal considering how bad the FB app is.

That was a long while ago yeah, and it was fixed pretty quickly.

Setting up Phone GV Extension -- what would be an advantage of using Dial Back instead of Direct Dial? Seems to me I'd just opt for direct dial only?

If you have a plan with A-list or Friends & Family or whatever that poo poo is called, you can put your GV # on it and use dial back to use no minutes when calling. Otherwise, just use direct dial.

Good point, thanks.

For those using SMS GV Extension -- do you have it set up so as to not show the random number Google assigns to incoming texts? And if so, how? I see on the developer's website that his incoming texts appear different than mine- namely that mine show the number Google assigns and his do not. I've tried multiple setups so far.

e: hmm.. I think disabling text forwarding within the official GV app has resulted in the behavior I'm looking for maybe

e2: what do you GV'ers do for MMS?

So, I know there's that small blurb in the OP, but does anyone have any suggestions for some killer/cool jailbreak features? There's just so much JUNK out there on Cydia that it's hard to figure out what's good and what's not even worth installing.

Here's my list:

- Activator
- biteSMS
- Five Icon Dock
- Five-Column SB
- Flashlock
- FolderEnhancer
- LockInfo
- Locktopus
- OpenSSH
- Phone GV Extension / SMS GV Extension
- Popup Blocker
- Remove Background
- SBSettings
- Snappy
- SwitcherMod
- WinterBoard (I make all my sound and image changes through WB)

No idea if this is related to some vague LockInfo setting, or if I'm just going crazy, but pressing the home button while on the lock screen doesn't dismiss app notifications. I know for a fact that it used to do this, and I'm setting everything up on a new phone now and it's not working. It could be related to 1 of 100 different little settings somewhere. Someone help me out.

In LockInfo check out General -> Dismiss Previews or in Popup Blocker go to the Home Button panel.

I do have SBSettings. Is BBSettings better?

I think I had better battery life today. It's not horrible by any means I just run though it by the time I leave for work.

After a couple days with BBSettings I have abandoned it due to taking up way too much Notification space. Until the app is collapsable I won't be using it, and it really doesn't do anything extra over SBSettings beside some graphical information of your phone.

Every now and again, especially if I get some rapid fire and "clear" one in the middle of a chain, an sms will duplicate itself in the notification area over and over again. Force-quitting the BiteSMS app and respringing/rebooting (DON'T FORGET IF YOU ARE TETHERED) fixes it.

Looks like the latest LockInfo update may have fixed the problem for the moment.



Since I can't find a definitive answer from google -- what's the latest information on downgrading baseband 04.11.08 for unlock? I'm about to travel internationally for six months and I'd like to grab a local sim. Using iPhone 4, OS 5.0 on AT&T. I've got all my SHSH blobs for 4.* saved.

Dev team says to go and update to 5.0.1. (A4 and A5), but not to 5.0.2/5.1 if/when it lands.
They may release an untether for 5.0. Maybe.

If you have 5.0 installed, you need to do a backup & restore to 5.0.1, then jailbreak.

I guess 5.0.x-compatible updates to Jailbreak apps will finally start pouring in.

Is winterboard safe to install?? I installed a bunch of stuff including winterboard and after rebooting my phone all apps opened at 1/4 the regular size on an iphone 4 (most probably a retina display related issue) and where unusable unless I was on Safe Mode. I restored and rejailbroke it.
I suspect this was caused by winterboard since it deals with graphics but I'm unsure. Anyone got a similar experience who can help me out please?

What else did you install? WinterBoard is totally safe. Was a theme installed at the same time? Safe Mode was probably triggered by a non-compatible app.

If you're having performance issues due to low memory, just run something like KillBackground to to clear out all background apps at once. I really like it on my 3GS.

You shouldn't have to reboot.

I recommend Remove Background. You can exclude applications from the kill list and also set the action in Activator. I just swipe left on my status bar and it runs invisible in the background.

Unfold looks pretty neat in an unobtrusive yet aesthetically pleasing tweak yet it always freezes on my phone :smith:

It worked the first time but then it would unfold only to have a frozen half folded screen behind it. Not even a restoring or hard reboot fixed it.

I'll wait for an update but if you can get it to work then awesome. And it's free so why not.

I'm dealing with this now, trying to blindly work my way around Cydia in an attempt to uninstall it. I can only see a few lines of my actual screen.

I had it set up before where I just had the stock iOS5 skinny alert that you can slide to open. I can't seem to figure out how to get that back from toggling different Notifications settings.

Did you have SMS Alerts toggled off?
