E1M5 posted:I'm kind of tempted to jailbreak my iPhone 3GS, but I'm wondering - how much of a hassle is it to keep jailbreaking when the newest software updates come out? For example, we've gotten 4.3.1 - 4.3.3 in just a few weeks. Or do you not have to even worry about updating until a major one comes out? It used to be a pain in the rear end, but the packages.txt trick makes it trivially easy. Though there isn't really a need to get every incremental update unless there is some new feature that you really want or some bug fix that you can't live without.

echinopsis posted:If I "upgrade" from the jailbroken OS to a new one, what happens then? What happens to the apps that shouldn't be there? The data from the old JB apps will still be there after the upgrade but the apps themselves won't be (i.e. only official, non-JB apps will be there). This is why you can upgrade, re-jailbreak, then reinstall all of your JB apps without losing any settings. If you want all the old JB stuff gone then you have to erase the phone before upgrading and not let it restore from backup at any point. withak fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Jun 4, 2011 |

Josh Lyman posted:So one thing I've always wondered. If your jailbroken data is saved when you restore and all you have to do is reinstall the jb apps, doesn't that mean there could be a bunch of junk floating around in the filesystem? All I really use is SBSettings and I just updated to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2, so it occurred to me that there could be years of poo poo clogging up my iPhone from jb apps I no longer use. That stuff is all left behind, but unless you were doing something unusual like carrying aroud huge video files it probably isn't taking up a huge amount of space. The "Other" category in iTunes is where all the jailbreak stuff gets counted. But not all of "Other" is JB stuff. If you wanted to you could probably get rid of most of it by manually uninstalling everything that you can from Cydia before doing the update where you don't want to JB.

Xenomorph posted:iBooks is the only problem app I know of. I've not heard of apps crashing just from jailbreaking. iBooks actually checked if you were jailbroken and then exited if you were, probably at the request of publishers who thought that people were using jailbreaking to steal their books. There was patch to stop it on Cydia pretty shortly after that behavior appeared.

Richman777 posted:Anyway, it's called Calendar Colors and lets you modify the default Apple Calendar Colors. These are the little dots that show up in your Calendar, and more importantly, on your lock screen. These always bothered me and I hated having to modify the sqlite db on my own...so why not wrap a PreferenceBundle around it. Nice

I think Stanza only reads epub natively. After you put the book in Calibre you have to convert it to epub before Stanza can download it.

Aside from using one of the signal strength apps (which also might be affected by whatever is messing with the regular signal bars), there isn't really any way to tell whether you really have a one-bar signal or a five-bar signal until you can't actually make or receive calls.

hunter x az posted:What's the best way to easily back up all of my Cydia and other installed programs, when upgrading my FW to 4.3.3? From da OP: quote:Before updating your device via iTunes: Back up the packages.txt to your computer if you want to be really paranoid, but it should still be there after the update. All of your JB apps will find their settings and data right where they were before after everything finishes downloading and installing. The free app-reinstalling thing in Cydia is total poo poo. withak fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Jul 7, 2011 |

You have to log in to the phone remotely using ssh. Google probably can tell you how.

As far as I know, Datadeposit saves pretty much the same stuff that the regular iPhone backup does, just in the cloud instead of on your computer through iTunes. The packages.txt trick is just a quick way to reinstall all of you jailbroken apps. The regular iTunes backup won't reinstall JB stuff, but it will save the data so that when you do reinstall them, the JB apps will find all of their old settings and data right where it should be.

Jetsetlemming posted:Since tethered jailbreak enables custom software on the ios, including low level stuff like afc2add and appsync, etc, how come tethered jailbreaks can't enable the further upgrade to untethered jailbreaks? Like Xenomorph said, there are two distinct stages to the security on the phone. Causing shady stuff to happen at boot when plugged in to a computer (the tethered part) is apparently a totally different kind of effort than causing shady stuff to happen after you have control of the bootup process. The tethered part is I think more of a function of hardware which Apple can't fix without releasing a new phone model (or possible some kind of low-level firmware update?). The untethered part Apple can fix any time they like with an OS update. withak fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Sep 17, 2011 |

All the JB data gets backed up along with official apps. A restore will un-JB but there will still be JB-related data left behind. The only way to un-JB without leaving traces is to wipe the phone and reinstall everything from scratch without using your backup.
