hekkyUK Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I couldn't resist the urge and did my 7.0.4 iPhone 5 a couple of days ago. Found a couple of useful little tweaks so far but still looking forward to the new Springtomize more than anything. Hmmm I just read about an upcoming tweak called Fancy that looks quite promising too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I just read about an upcoming tweak called Fancy that looks quite promising too! Springtomize is what I am looking out for too.. In the meanwhile you can look for these free&awesome ones: BetrFoldr - Can remove rounded rectangle from the background of the folders when the're opened up Bloard - Consistent gray shaded keyboard everywhere in all the apps instead of constant white and black Browser Changer - make a 3rd party browser as default customLS - remove the elements from lock screen which you don't like - make it clean Cydia Substrate - Obviously Flat Notes - Make the notes app better visually - removes its texture Flipswitch beta - more toggles in the control center hiddensettings7 - Shows Hidden Springboard settings right from "Apple" in the control center - These settings are way too exhaustive and too detailed as well NoSlowAnimations - Speeds up the animations in iOS RecordMyScreen - Recorder for iOS and Free one! I love all of these! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all of these! :) Problem is do any of those work with A7 devices? Thats the only reason I haven't Jailbroken my iPhone 5s is because nothing good has been updated to work with it yet. Main things I want is Bitesms but of course there are some cool looking apps being made which I wouldn't mind having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Veteran Posted January 7, 2014 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2014 I take it they're in the 5s yeh? im still on 4s Yes, A7 chips are in the 5s only. Also, BiteSMS is close to being done for 5s, judging by BiteSMS forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriz Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I seem to be having one major issue with it, it just will not open. Ill keep an eye out for an update soon. Also, im probbaly just being blind here but how would i remove something i installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriz Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Didnt last long, ive reverted back. Too many niggley little annoying things that i couldnt sort, for example when a text came through unless i looked at it or unlocked/relocked the phone the light would just stay on constantly. The 24 hours or so ive experienced were fun to begin with but i just got bored then, unless something spectacular gets released for it i cant see me jailbreaking again.

TDT Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Anyone here with some experience in jailbreaking? I just got a 4S with 7.0.6 on it, but evasion's tool always quits at "modifying rootfs". From what I've read, this is because the os was updated via OTA instead of itunes. Is there something I can do now to make the jailbreak work? If I hit Restore in itunes, it says that the phone will be updated to 7.1, and I don't want that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I should download that ipsw file (in my case, I believe it's iPhone4,1_7.0.6_11B651_Restore.ipsw) and restore with itunes, then I should try the jailbreak again?

So the solution above your post won't work? Edit: Nvm, it's not working. Itunes is throwing the 3194 error... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
