This is probably crazy but is there anything that will allow my jailbroken itouch 4 to be able to download files like .zips and poo poo? I don't need them to be opened just downloaded and transferred to my computer later.

Use a combo of iCab (browser) and Dropbox. Which is to say iCab already has Dropbox integration and it's super easy

I'm going to assume this is jailbreak related, but it seems like the big buttons (like when getting a call to pick up or ignore, or the set wallpaper buttons) don't trigger or have the wrong I guess activation area. Anybody run into something like this?

Yes. I did. And others did too. I am not 100% sure what fixed it, as this was a while ago for me. HOWEVER, I seem to hazily recall investigating Activator and not having any like, gestures active that involved the bottom of the screen. (Like swipe up from bottom, or something?)

I know I don't have that problem anymore, and I *am* still jailbroken. So whatever happened, I definitely fixed it. :)

Hope that helps?

So the lock button on my 4 is getting sticky. I'm gonna get it swapped at the fruit stand but I'm assuming I'm going to get a 5.1 device. Is there an untethered jailbreak out for the regular 4?

Also am I going to lose all my texts and stuff or is it all on iCloud?

edit: of course I back everything up nightly so I mean can I just unjailbreak bring it in and then rejailbreak once I get out of there?

edit2: Jailbreak matrix says there's only a tethered out so I'm assuming I can only use 5.1 since the shsh won't be backed up?

I'm using this guide

and it keeps making GBS threads itself after step 4 when it tries to get ruby-rvm


any tips?


edit: I forget the exact error but i'm pretty sure one of them was somehow not having permission to modify usr/sources and not having access to group "admins" on a fresh install of the latest ubuntu on virtualbox

Has anything new and shiny come out? I've been jail broken for forever and it seems like I haven't had anything new or interesting to install in months. I think the last thing I installed was barrel. I have a siri proxy setup too but I feel like nothing cool has come out for a while.

After upgrading to iOS 6 and jailbreaking I got BiteSMS back. I only have one problem. For whatever reason facebook sync went nuts on my address book and I have a million useless contacts. I unchecked the fb part in the phone app but BiteSMS is pulling up every person named "Steve" when I type it in.


Outside of manually deleting it how do I kill all the fb contacts?

Search around google it seems theres no 'released' software that will jailbreak ipad3 or ipad4 and it seems the elite few that have coded their own jailbreaks arent sharing.

I'm really happy cydia has saved all my shsh's for my 4. I mean I could theoretically restore all the way back to what, iOS 4 if I wanted to.


That being said has the list of iOS 6 compatible jailbreaks been updated? I have a few core things but pretty much nobody really fixed functionality. I mean my favorite jailbreak app is BiteSMS and it shits itself and crashes Springboard even with the update but I'd like to get back to gridlock and springtomize.

It let's you download specific layouts and then it will organize your apps accordingly. I used to use Gridlock but really I just made two columns of apps one on either side of the screen for vertical scrolling. For my uses it's much better.

Sweet sassy molassy. I found Iconoclasm pretty difficult to use off the bat (You have to go to Cydia to download new layouts) but I downloaded another app called "Iconoclasm Layout Maker" and its goddamn perfect. You can load up your current wallpaper and arrange the icons accordingly however you want, since almost all the cydia layouts are super dumb and I managed to not find the one thing I was looking for (4x1 right justified) but the layout app makes this the easiest thing in the world.

You guys need to stop spergin about services. The entire point of iOS is you specifically DON'T need to manage this poo poo. Futzing around with possibly critical files is a dumb thing as is trying to manage battery/ram. Unlike our counterparts there's really nothing wrong in terms of resource management.

So I know other people have brought this up but my "other" category is at 5 gigs. I ran both cleaners and it hasn't done much. I'm betting I need to restore or something? I'm also tempted to jump on the beta bandwagon because I've only jailbroke the past 2 OS versions for BiteSMS. I'm running a GSM 4 on 6.1 incidentally.
