Not sure what's happened here. I restored my iPhone 5 to 6.1 following some issue I had with installing the wrong tweak, jailbroke it and now I suddenly have the iOS 5 App Store installed. It's optimized for the iPhone 5's display, too. Anyone know what's going on? I did not install any new package from cydia either. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1360541931.497087.jpg

Not sure but if you find out how you did it please let us know. I prefer the old layout.

I also noticed the buttons on the bottom are in a different order. I am hoping that Apple moves back to this version as I too prefer it to the new one. Unfortunately I can't help you, OP. Sorry.

This happened back when iOS 6 first came out. The App Store would randomly go back and forth between the new and old look.

What a miracle. I hope this happens to me.

How did you do it?

You can't make it happen. It's a bug. Like I said, it randomly happened a lot when iOS 6 first came out and still happens to some people every once in awhile. It usually reverts itself to the new version again after awhile and sometimes after a reboot and almost always after a restore.

Its just a glitch. After you close out the app store and kill it in the multi-tasking tray you should go back to normal. I've had it happen a couple times.

It's now back to the new style, but the tabs at the bottom are still at the wrong order.
