iOS Jailbreak/Unlock |OT|
- Thread starter RubxQub
- Start date
Out of curiosity, why do you understand Apple wouldn't implement a system-wide f.lux type setting? Or do you mean specifically allow f.lux as an app itself? Because then that makes sense, as it would have to be system wide.
I think Apple needs to implement a similar setting personally. That is the reason I am jailbreaking too. My eyes hate the blue glow at night.

It sounds stupid, but I think it would confuse the users too much. Otherwise we'd see this kind of integration in other operating systems as well.
I wish they would say if it was coming out today or not. They only dropped hints like crazy that it would come out today. It's kinda crazy that the whole jb scene is held hostage by 4 people that feel the need to Inflate their egos to crazy levels.
Yea, but I'd still rather have 4 people that want to inflate their ego vs nobody working on it at all.
I feel that you should be grateful they are doing anything, and updating you at all. So what if they dropped hints? Wasn't their last update that they were still testing it on various devices? Maybe they are a little busy?
I should be grateful? They are not curing cancer here. Others have had exploits to this iOS 6 already they just choose not to share it. It's not the end of the world if they never release it. I just feel like they are milking this for money at this point. On the android side, when root was a hard thing to get on some phones, people would be working together and releasing what they had as they went. There was no donation bullshit, and making stupid team names to release it.
You can only be grateful for something if they are curing cancer? What the fuck? As you said, others have exploits and choose not to share. So then should you not be grateful to the team that WILL release it? Complaining because there's no update and with 9+ hours left in the day is entitlement at it's worst.
Rooting is also significantly easier than jailbreaking (this is an uneducated statement, and may or not be wrong). And I see rooters asking for donations on XDA and team names ALL THE TIME. Not sure what you're talking about.
Muscle nerd just tweeted that it would be released tomorrow.
Yeah. Coming tomorrow. And the bar is at 90%. It's great.Muscle nerd just tweeted that it would be released tomorrow.
Are any of you guys jailbraking your iPads as well? Which tweaks are you using for it?
Muscle nerd just tweeted that it would be released tomorrow.
Yep, from the Evad3rs twitter:
I wonder if anyone will complain about this despite them not having given a release date before now. Obviously they needed the time for testing and to make sure that it's safe for release. If one tiny thing went wrong it could have massive effects on the jailbreaking community, so I'm glad they took their time. One day is not long to wait!

Gonna jailbreak my ipad 4 even though I don't know why. Anything I should look into?
Sorry, this is a big thread.

Eh, I can wait another day when I've waited this long. Would rather have had it today though.
Wait for evasi0n jailbreak a day from now for specifics on how to do it, and then people will start recommending things as a ton of people begin to jailbreak again. Also some people posted lists of stuff in the past page or so, so you can look at those as well.

Cool, thanks!
Couldn't they just steer around that by marketing it as something completely new/revolutionary ("The fantastic Retina display, with greatly reduced eye strain")? They could also just bury it in Accessibility Options, or something. No matter what, they would certainly implement it in a simpler way than F.lux itself currently does, so I see user confusion issues as approachable.
To me, F.lux-like functionality is so obvious an advantage, I can't imagine Apple just ditching it - they must have done their own research, and found some kind of technical disadvantage needing to be addressed. Maybe they're worried about messing with the precise color reproduction? It could also simply be too new a concept, disrupting a traditional way of using computer screens. (Then again, there you have a marketing opportunity.) Or maybe it makes the display stand out in an undesired way, or something completely weird.
Sweet, I might be able to actually jailbreak before class tomorrow!

So, the new jailbreak will be released today?
They have confirmed tomorrow, the 4th, is the concrete release date. It will come tomorrow no matter what according to them.

I got an iPod touch 5g for free and hate it so I just use it as an alarm clock with tunein radio. What bothers me most about it is lack of custom equaliser and no drag and drop - I use Linux so no iTunes.
Does jail breaking allow me to drag and drop and use custom equalisers?

I don't think it can fix the drag and drop thing, but the equalizer I'm pretty sure is covered. Why don't you like the touch? It's pretty much a iPhone 5 without a cell radio.
As for Linux, just use wine and your covered.

I have a macbook but most of my music collection is on my PC and nas. Last time I used iTunes it messed up all my music collection so I'm not going to install it on my PC or letting it get anywhere near my collection again. .
I don't like the touch because it sounds rubbish with my earphones and headphones, and I prefer drag and drop to iTunes and I don't much care for the apps since I already have a phone that fulfills my app needs.
I mainly wanted it as an MP3 player though, so if I can get an equaliser working on it I'll be more than happy.
Simply go into iTunes preferences and deselect the option for it to organize your music library. If you set it on manual sync then it's practically drag and drop. You just have to use iTunes.

If I were going from iOS6 to iOS6 jailbreak I'd be really excited right now...
...but going from iOS5 jailbreak to iOS6 jailbreak? Not really that exciting. iOS6 isn't that great. I guess the FB integration is good?
Still I'll take it.

If it wasn't for the Google Map app release this still probably wouldn't have been enough for me to upgrade to ios 6.

Oh yeah, agreed. Thankfully the Google app neutralized that whole issue, since its better than old or new Apple map apps.

hype.
Do most jailbreak tweaks work after an OS upgrade, or will they all have to be updated? I think there was a tethered jailbreak before, so perhaps a lot of that testing has been done?
It goes by your system time. Set it too noon est and watch it be 100%. Some dude set his a year ahead and was at like 4000%.

Nicer way to generate more hits than giving a time I guess.

Anyone know of a good cydia app that will change the clock so that it will be displayed on the home screen instead? I hate folders and the app icons, wish it was a better way of hiding them.
How does f.lux work exactly on iOS devices? I have it on my Mac and it activates at sunset. Is it all automatic on iOS too?

The wait and process is actually more exciting than having it.
nolockscreen and f.lux is all I want, but I'm sure it's more exiting for iPhone users.

The timer's counting down to 5:00 GMT (or noon America time or whatever) so I'd imagine it'll be released in an hour. I'll be heading home from work around then, hopefully someone will kindly make some sort of torrent link and post it here to help avoid the stress on their servers so I can give it a go when I get home!
