What app did you use to accomplish that?
Thanks for the info. So it appears MyWi is $20 and TetherMe is $5. Has anyone had experience with either one of these on AT&T's network using an unlimited data plan? Will AT&T catch on to tethering with either/both of these as long as I don't go crazy with the amount of data?
Winterboard with the defaults (Remove Icon Labels, Transparent Dock) and some No Dock Reflections extension from Cydia.

Yep. I prefer the native tethering.
Side note: Anyone know how to backup my phone to my Mac and have it install the apps when I restore? Doesn't ever seem to work.

Is there some kind of extension that makes icons be in rows of 5 instead of 4? I used to use Fivelrows but it looks like it's not compatible with ios6

this?
Although I didn't see Remove Icon Labels in my Winterboard.
Edit: It's called No Undocked Icon Lables =x doh, there's one for docked too.
I was able to get it to work with Iconoclasm

Ugh, this is soooo frustrating. Hopefully it calms down in a day or two

I used PDANet for a long time on my unlimited plan. Never had any problems, but I rarely needed to use it, so I was under the radar. As long as you're not using heavy data while tethering, you'll be fine.

I think i just found a bug. After restarting my iPhone5 the Weather app stopped working (it crashes immediately). Email push notifications don't seem to be working either.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I am getting the weather app crash bug.
Shrink doesn't work with Auxo apparently.
Also, everybody else update the jailbreak? I don't know what it did but there was an update available in Cydia..
So, I did a restore to wipe to factory settings, then I did the jailbreak, phone started up and I did the restore from iTunes backup that I did prior, got an error that my phone wasn't compatible about halfway through, so then it got stuck. Tried to restart and got stuck there so I had to go into recovery and then wipe again, so then when that was done I restored from iCloud. Now I can't find cydia anywhere. Help?
I guess maybe I should just run the program again, but all my apps are installing now, I assume all the reboots would mess that up.

same, but the devs are aware and working on it. should be an update in cydia whenever the fix is out.

Wouldn't restoring from backup after jailbreaking undo the whole process? Why'd you wipe before doing the jailbreak?
Start over. Wipe your phone, restore from backup, THEN jailbreak it.
Ok, got another question, I just really want to make sure my first jailbrake goes smoothly and that I am able to restore the phone if needed.
So I downloaded the ipsw file for 6.1. Since I updated via OTA, if I ever need to go back to 6.1, I can just let itunes point to that file. I don't need to do a restore on itunes and point it to the ipsw file BEFORE jailbraking? I just want to make sure I don't need to do that, and I can just jailbrake with OTA, and restore with the ipsw file.
I hope that made sense.

I guess I have no clue what I'm doing. I had read something that it was best to jail break a device that had been wiped. Seems like I need to let the restore completely finish and then do the jailbreak again.
After approximately 5 hours of trying over and over and over to download jailbreak apps, so far I have:
Activator
Infinidock
Mobile Substrate
NoNewsIsGoodNews
NowNow
OpenSSH
ToggleSSH
My tip to those like me who like torturing themselves: download as many elements independently as you can. Start with Mobile Substrate since it seems to hold up many other downloads that require it, then Activator/Preference loader, and then proceed to downloads with the smallest file sizes first, to avoid timeouts and give you the biggest chance your requests will go through in whatever lucky short window Cydia gives you.

lol. I don't know why you guys don't just wait a day.
May as well let it search in class inbetween taking notes! Also getting a ride home I didn't have jack shit to do.
After spending entire days trying to jailbreak in the past because I fucked something up, this is genuinely pleasurable!
Plus Cydia seems to be getting better as the day goes on.

Several hours later, all of the packages downloaded in Cydia and I was able to download Activator.
I've been trying to download SBsettings all day too, but to no avail.

Is there no way I can just download SBSettings on my PC or something and then copy it to my phone?

I got most of them on my second or third try. It was Typophone Weather that took me about 20 tries..
I got Infinifolders, Winterboard, Typophone Weather, Iconoclasm, and Five Dock. Back to my old ios5 self.
This video I just found demos a bunch of jailbreak tweaks that are iPhone 5 compatible. Many of these are ones Anastacio has in his list and were subsequently briefly described by orangecaramel on the last page. Good video.
EDIT: This is a really good YT channel actually.

NoLockScreen is buggy on the iPad 4. Waking up the device with the power button often unlocks the device and immediately turns it off or locks the device again. The home button works, but I want to avoid using it.
