iOS Jailbreak/Unlock |OT|

No, pretty sure they do not.
Also, my phone keeps restarting itself, i've been jailbroken for a while and made no changes before this started happening. Every time it boots, I can tell that it's in safe mode, and then it crashes.
I don't even have the time to unlock before it seems to respiring on its own. This just keeps happening. Anything I can do?

it could be a Cydia app you've installed. in fact, that's almost certainly your issue.
That's what I thought, as it has happened many times before, and then I uninstall it and everything is fine. However, I have not touched Cydia or installed anything in almost a week, this hit randomly.
Also, unlike the usual occurrences when it boots into safe mode, you usually slide to unlock and the 'restart' option appears. Here, when I manage to slide to unlock, even more a second, there is no restart option, nor does it say 'exist safe mode' in the status bar where the time usually is.
This sucks, hit totally randomly, I think i'm probably going to have to restore/unjailbreak.
I had the same exact issue. You just gotta be quick and reboot it manually when it does reboot in the (very) little time you have before it does it itself. Fixed it for me anyways.
Don't know what the cause is, but it's only happened to me twice and I don't remember the circumstances of such.

worst case: just backup, reinstall the OS and re-jailbreak. then add apps one at a time. Make sure you only add Cydia apps that say they've been tested and work with iOS5.
You mean hold down down the lock button until the 'slide to shut down' slider appears? And slide it before the auto-reboot happens? I'll give that a shit.
If you guys get this working I would love to be a part of it. I keep checking in hopes that a viable Siri solution is found for iPhone 4.
If you guys are able to get this set up I'd love to be able to get it on it?
Now that the 4s is jailbroken is it possible that soon we'll not need to resort to this to get Siri working on iPhone 4?
No not power down, a manual reboot. When your phone boots up again, immediately hold down the power and home buttons simultaneously and wait for your screen to black out and once you see the apple logo again let go.
Ah, yeah I had tried that already, a few times. I've ended up restoring, oh well. :|

Thanks. Seems simple enough. Only problem looks like the key needs to be refreshed every 24 hours. Sounds like a bit of a hassle. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what is said in the article. More research is required.
Unfortunately I must decline connecting anyone I don't personally know. Apple bans IP's that have too many connections to their Siri server, this isn't a replacement for it, just a forwarding proxy spoofing the key it seems. It would be beautiful if you could use Siri on Google or bing and have it process directly on your server instead of Apple's.
I would caution trying to delete default apps. Instead, just use SBSettings and hide any Apps you don't wish to see. Has the added benefit of still being able to use them by searching in Spotlight for them.
^Definitely. Better yet, if you don't like SBS (me), use an app called Poof. It's great, because you can even hide the poof app, as well. Anytime you want to access it again, though, just use spotlight.
Anyone try LockIt? It's great, I hate having passwords for my lock screen, just because I don't want to enter a pass EVERY time I want to unlock. I only want to lock down on occasion.
With LockIt, I triple tap the home button from anywhere and put in a pass to enable it. Now, anyone can unlock my phone, but any time they press an app icon, it kicks to the lock screen and the screen blacks out.
Perfect.

Being only an iOS user since the launch of the iPhone 4s, I really missed the customization from the OG Droid that I had. In some ways, I actually wish I could go back. Feelings are changing now that I was finally able to jailbreak my phone last week. While still not as customizable as I would like, it's still a blast to mess around with different apps and see what the phone can do. I don't think I could ever go back to stock. The iPhone is missing so many features that I have grown accustomed to since my Android days, it would be a hassle to go back.

Just got my sisters old US iPhone 3GS and I wanted to unlock it so I could use my UK Vodafone simcard in it.
Never done this kind of this before so any help would be appreciated.
Details:
Model - iPhone 3GS
Version - 5.0.1
Modem - 05.16.05
Don't really care about hacking it, I just want to use my contract simcard in it.

Unfortunately, i dont believe that baseband is supported via ultrasn0w. Your only option might be to flash it with an iPad baseband, which may or may not cause some problems.

I got a server set up. You can only have a max of 5 people before Apple will even do anything.
Yes, the 24 hour key refresh thing is annoying, but my roommate has a 4S and can do it whenever, so downtime is minimal. I only have 2 spots left until I get more 4S keys, but other than that, the server is really fast and works well!
Would I be able to get in one of those slots? I would be forever grateful!

Just discovered a great iOS Cydia utility - CleverPin
Essentially, the utility allows you to automatically disable the unlock passcode when your phone is logged into specific wifi networks. So you can choose to have the code disabled once you are at home or work and on the wifi, but active whenever you are out of the house. You can also choose to disable the passcode while playing music, charging the device or when in airplane mode.
So far I'm using the following on my phone, and can't imagine giving up on any -
Activator
Cleverpin
LockInfo
ScrollingBoard
TetherMe
SBSettings
SwitcherCleaner
I'm hesitant to jailbreak my iPad 2, though. Any worthwhile reasons for doing so?

What video player are you using?
I use cinexplayer and you can just SSH into your phone and drap/drop the files into the folder it reads from.
I downloaded the XBMC player and I want to store the MKV files locally on my phone if possible, and just play from there. Since Apple doesn't support MKV iTunes won't let me sync the files (which I expected). Just trying to find another way to get the files on my phone.

Has anybody tried this on their iPhone 4? It seems that there's a new method to install Siri w/o the need for a proxy. Thoughts?

Start Cydia and add repo.siriport.ru as a new source
Welp. I'm gonna try it out but I'm probably gonna lose my indentity in the process. Wish me luck.
e: didn't work for me. Installed the application successfully, installed the certificate, but I'm just getting the old voice control when I hold down Home.
Double e: because I didn't enable Siri in Settings > General. Now it's popping up. Will update if it ends up working, apparently it takes awhile to activate.
Triple e: not working. She says she can'd handle my request or similar shit.
Cleverin is useful, thanks for sharing your rad find

What do you mean by not as responsive? There should be no difference at all. The Cydia packages you install however can definitely affect performance.
My jailbroken iPhone 4 was performing just as well as it was pre-jailbreak, until I installed Dreamboard through Cydia. I've since removed from my phone, but its still occasionally laggy. I haven't gotten around to restoring it yet to try and fix it, its always an hour+ long process whenever I have to...

what are the best multitasking apps? I use multifl0w right now but is there something better?
It looks like since you can dictate the source folder from within XBMC, you can literally SSH and drop it in a folder you wish. I know VLC uses /var/mobile/media so you can put it in there to keeps things simple.

Zephyr 1.1 is blowing my mind. It has accelerated my use of iOS. And it's saving my fragile home button.
I mean that when I touch the screen, it hasn't been responding instantly as it always has. Also, when I go to mail, text, iPod, or just about any other thing the screen hangs up for a number of seconds before it opens for me, and sometimes it just totally goes back to the home screen.
Anyway, I uninstalled a few Cydia packages and all is well now. Thank God, it was driving me so crazy I was already starting to think about doing a full restore.
That's what I get for blindly jailbreaking without doing research on which packages are actually worth installing. Do we have a "must have" list or anything of the sort on here already, other than what is in the OP?
Good lord, so awesome. It adds my favorite parts of webOS from my TouchPad with the flicking windows away!

Oh my god Zaphyr is awesome. Buy buy buy, Gaffers.
Is there any JB tweak that will force an app to stay running in the background?
I want to use a webcam app that allows my iPhone camera to act as a webcam, and at the same time use air display so I can access my Mac screen, while still running the camera.
So i'd like the camera app to stay open, any way to do this?

Jailbroke my 4S, installed TetherMe.
Too scared (and uninterested) to try anything else, but this alone has made JB'ing worth it :-]

Allegedly you can swipe up to activate the multitasking bar but
1.) I never got it to work properly.
2.) Even if it did work, it doesn't operate like Zephyr does (animation, etc.)
Now add the N9-influenced swipe-to-homescreen / half-swipe hold for multitasking bar, and it just blows everything else out of the water. Zephyr is well worth my $3.

I've been doing swipe up in activator for ages, and apart from some bugs in 5.0.1 that got fixed recently it always worked well.
just got it. It's a great piece of code.
Installed this to give it a go, does not work ........ uninstalled it through cydia, rebooted once completed and it still remains in settings.
God damn incomplete uninstall!
Avoid.

Oh so zephyr is for people whos home buttons are broken. I thought it closed the app when you swipe up.
It can do that, too.
