I jailbroke my iPad Air, Mini, and iPhone 5s as soon as it came out. So glad its out. At least this will give those iPhone 4 users one last version with jailbreak since they aren't getting iOS8

Good point!

I ran the JB on a windows box. iPhone is working fine on it but all I really wanted was BiteSMS, TetherMe, and Flux. Debating if I should JB my iPad 3. In the past I have not found much useful in having a JB iPad. Perhaps just Flux.

If you jail broke your iPad, what apps did you install?

I plan on it, my iPad Mini is on iOS 7.0.4.

Is it worth upgrading to 7.1.1?

Well, the difference between iOS 7.0 and 7.1 is like night and day on my iPad 3. Not so much on my iPhone 5, but still better no doubt.

I actually don't feel the need to jailbreak. The only reason may be to install a torrent client but my QNAP is getting remotely controlled so that's a non issue.

 

Can anyone list few other benefits of jailbreak these days?

 

xbmc, bitesms, f.lux, tetherme, barrell 2, sbsettings, heavily customize the whole interface, password protect folders, iblacklist/call management. I'm sure I'm missing some other great jailbreak-only apps & features.

I switched to Auki over BiteSMS, MUCH cleaner and works flawlessly without ads, etc. 

 

The only thing I install on my iPad Air is: 

 

Clear Background Apps

ColorBadges

Movie Box

Springtomize 3 - iOS 7

 

Thats it for my iPad.. You really don't need a lot anymore and as you can see those are just cosmetic.. Doesn't have to be there

 

For my iPhone 5s:

 

Auki

ayeris

clear background apps

colorbadges

iFile

Springtomize 3 - iOS 7

Winterboard

so I guess the question is, for those of us already jailbroken any reason to use this to "update" or is there no need

 

No need, the untether package will be updated via Cydia soon for folks like yourself.

Not out yet, though.  From the Reddit, they said they would need a few days to compile it and put it up on Cydia.  I'm not having any issues, so I'm fine with waiting.

 

Must say, not sure if it was the clean 7.1.1 installation or what but my iPhone 5 has been buttery smooth.

Hence why I said "soon".

7.1.2 did not patch any of the exploits from 7.1 and 7.1.1

 

Like we guessed. Only Esser liked to believe these exploits mattered for iOS 7.1.x or even 8 for that matter. 7.1.x will never be patched, even if there's a 7.1.3 or even a .4 release and iOS 8 was going to be patched anyway.

Not to go to off topic, but has anyone found a way to downgrade to iOS 6 using the jailbreak/cydia/etc? I saw they were able to use "other peoples" SHSH blobs on a iPhone 4, but if you press the power button to lock the phone it blacks out the screen and puts it into DFU mode and you're only option is to upgrade back to iOS 7 again....which is a no can do in terms of leaving the screen on all day. :S

Cant do because you would not be able to use the device. Apple has locked out old versions installation signing.

Do you know if this "update package" should show up automatically as an update in cydia (as in previous jailbreaks) or do I need to seek it out?  Still not sure I understand if I need it or not.  Thanks.

 

If it does, will show up in Cydia as an update.

Does doing this procedure force a device wipe/update to be required to install?

 

Or can a person just "hack-and-go" ...

 

What are you referring to?  The Jailbreak?  Most jailbreakers agree that a clean firmware installation is best practice prior to installing a jailbreak (if that is what you are asking about).

Yeah that's what I referred to.

I asked because we run supervised devices at work, and in the past users have had to reinstall the firmware or at the least the jailbreak removes the profiles so we can easily remove the jailbreak by re-running the supervision'd firmware on the device.

 

If this jailbreak can be done without affecting that, we'll have to do a bit more digging...

yeah but you do not have to.. Most of your general population never do that. Heck, something like 60% never back their phones up or have even plugged them into iTunes.

Well, backups and insuring I minimize my risk to a buggy jailbreak experience is absolutely paramount to me. Haste makes waste.

But your figure doesn't surprise me.

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
