Alright so I've had the jailbreak for about 24 hours now. No real issues besides the Weather app not opening (which should be fixed soon apparently as the devs say they know why it is happening so we're just waiting on it to be pushed to Cydia as a package update). Other than that, I've had the phone get stuck on the Apple logo and not boot. To fix it, you have to hard reset (home button+power button). If that doesn't work, others have stated that if you do a hard reset WHILE the iPhone is plugged into a computer with iTunes running, it will boot properly (not DFU mode either, just a normal reset while it's plugged in).
Got a tip for us?

would you mind sharing the source?
EDIT: xSellize Repo

I get stuck on downloading packages :/
EDIT 2: I got one from the BigBoss repo and it looks to be working fine! Before they were crashing my Pandora. Weird!
Jailbreak is worth it again!

download the official IPSW and use that to restore your phone on the windows machine running itunes. For some reason I've always had issues restoring an official firmware on a IOS device on my MacBooks, but always works in windows.
After the restore, disconnect from windows machine and restore it on your mac to restore your previous backup (which I hope you did)
There seems to be, but it's listed as 'experimental'. Do try it out though, and let us know if it's working

Will later today, thanks! Love being the guinea pig.
I just bought Auxo this morning and I see the cards disappearing problem too.

I've used both Locktopus and AppLocker and prefer AppLocker, but can't get it from Cydia yet.
No. I've seen it take DAYS to get back to normal. It's been right at ONE day as of now.
free apps
...yet no one will ever admit to that on these forums. They will all claim sb settings or theming
I think it's funny how people who pirate apps always feel a need to post on here proclaiming that everyone else must be doing it too whether they admit it or not. I jailbreak and so do several people I know, and no one I know does it to pirate apps. Given how cheap 99% of iOS apps are, and how expensive iPhones are, I would assume most people who can afford an iPhone can easily afford to buy whatever apps they want. Therefore I have to assume that most of the people who would go to the trouble of jailbreaking just to steal $1 and $5 apps must be kids whose parents paid for their iPhone, but who only have a very limited allowance for buying apps.
Some users have reported fixing Weather app by deleting
com.apple.mobile.installation.plist &
com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore from /var/mobile/Library/Caches/
Then rebooting
I am sure a cydia fix will be released soon

Except I don't jailbreak so nice try
Also, there are many examples of devs noting how many users are running illegitimate copies (I had posted numerous links before on this topic that tend to get ignored by the likes who live in denial). Simple google searches support that cracked apps are very prevalent on jailbroken devices.
At any rate, I applaud you for not being a theif.

Same here, I pirated a few things when I was in my teens, back in the Napster days.
I am in my 30's now and there is nothing on my computer or iPhone that is a pirated copy, and it's been at least 15 years since I have downloaded a pirate copy of anything. Even my jailbroken apps, the ones that cost money I paid for.(I know there are repos that have them free, but I don't touch them).

Though you assume if others jailbreak they are pirating. It's not the case for all jailbreakers. Maybe you should jailbreak and see what it's all about. There are plenty of things on there, you might turn yourself into a permanent jailbreaker.
I tried it in the days when I had my 3g. Not for me. Caused more issues than it was worth for me personally
I would argue a decent amt of jailbreak pirate. Even if it's 10% (and I would argue quite a bit more from what I have read online)

You're probably right, I would imagine a large number of jailbreakers do. Especially teens, and people under 25 years old. I am sure even older people do. Unfortunately I guess I will have to live with being stereotyped as someone who pirates apps, because I want SBsettings and a few other things.
Back before Apple allowed MMS, I used swirlyMMS. I continued to use it until last year just so that I could reply to a sender without having to reply to everyone in the group.
As Apple adds feature I am using less and less JB apps, but until they allow SBsettings, or something like it in their notification center I will JB.
My wife wants her phone jailbroke for just SBsettings as well. That's her only tweak, and I don't blame her.
So, it's pretty much been since the early iPhone 4 days since I last had a jailbroken device. After a day of using Cydia again on the iPhone 5, I just don't see much of a reason for it anymore. About the only tweak I really care for is f.lux because it lets me fix the slightly-too-blue tint of my phone's screen, but even that isn't a big enough reason for me to keep it.
I did mainly want to jailbreak again so I could use the $20 copy of MyWi that I purchased when iOS 5 was out, just to find out that they now charge $5 just to upgrade your copy to the iOS 6 compatible version. Thanks but no thanks. I'll keep the stability and reliability of vanilla iOS. I predict most of the big tweaks (Auxo, biteSMS, NCSettings) will see some form of official implementation in iOS 7 or 8 anyways.

I think you can pay with PayPal or Amazon, so Cydia doesn't get your credit card info.

This is true, and pretty funny, but it's the risk of doing business on an open platform of sorts. It's ironic in the same way as people pirating Little Snitch and then using it to block their pirating apps from phoning home.
does this need to be downloaded strictly from a PC/laptop/MAC or is there a way to load up from my iphone or ipad mini?
Mine did that as well, it required a reinstall and it started working correctly (even though it seems to lose card images after so many were open)
So knowingly and willfully violating the terms of a contract is "A-ok" by you, but you call it a 'rude assumption' to think that you might not want to pay for the software you want to use?
Either way, remind me never to be involved in a contract that you're party to.

Fixer for evasi0n jailbreak on v.backspace.jp/repo
I'm not denying that people pirate apps. I'm just denying your claim that most people who jailbreak are doing it to pirate apps. Lacking any actual statistics, your reasoning seems to be that you don't see any other good reason to jailbreak, but I think that just shows your lack of knowledge of the kinds of apps and tweaks that are available only by jailbreaking. You also mentioned that you think jailbreaking causes "more issues than it was worth", which again makes me think you may not be aware of how simple and reliable the jailbreaking process has gotten.
In my case I jailbreak for
- Folder Enhancer, which lets me put more than 16 items in a folder
- SBSettings, which allows me to access commonly accessed settings instantly without having to switch to the Settings app. Changing the brightness is probably the most common one for me. Apple finally added this in the iPad's double-tap menu, but not the on the iPhone.
- iBlacklist, which lets me block calls and messages. Yes, I know iOS 6 finally added the Do Not Disturb feature, but that is still far less configurable than iBlacklist
- Allows me to use PhoneView from my computer to access the complete contents of my phone from my computer, including text messages, call logs, notes, voice memos, etc.
- Zephyr, which lets me use gestures to switch apps on the iPhone similar to what's possible on the iPad.
I recently upgraded my phone to iOS 6 to get some of the other new features, and so have had to do without jailbreak for a while, and I really missed some of these features, especially SBSettings, Zephyr, and Folder Enhancer. My point is that there are lots of attractive reasons to jailbreak other than stealing $1 apps. So you might want to consider that before pulling statistics out of the air about what percentage of jailbreakers pirate apps.
Very straight forward jailbreaking process, was able to do it quickly after work, apps are starting to install after the stress from Cydia has been reduced some. Still waiting for Google Voice Extender and GV Phone Extender to be updated, then my Jail Break will be complete.
