As I've promised, I've tested the adapter under later iOS 7.1b versions - this time, on my rMini I quickly updated to 7.1b5 to be able to run my memory usage tests (see my iPhone5-specific ones at
https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/18522600/ ) and compare the results to those of 7.0.6.
On 7.1b5, the adapter works just fine. A screenshot on my rMini:
Cool to know it will be the same on GM then. I imagined so too, but odd they left it out on previous versions instead of carrying it over. Non-issue for me. Not once did I do video output (non-airplay that is) on iOS 6 on my devices.
Anyways, I'm jazzed about 7.1b2. My iProducts feel invincible and relatively bug-free and tweak loaded, legitimately. Thank you so much jonmiller and company for making this happening, post expiry Not tainted by later beta UI changes that in turn affect UX (tacky and crowded phone functionality, and what I saw on beta 3 with that new power down look and phone circle look, 'eh' I prefer the horizontal bars on beta 2) either. And it's been rock solid, I've still heard iffy things about beta 5's reliabiity as in "not ready for GM" status unless people are being nit picky. Beta 3 to me felt like a beta right away, iTunes Match lag on artists with tons of albums and songs, and I hated not having ColorFlow/music app tweak-ability either. And app store updates not having labels. I love no labels a la Springtomize but not on app updates-- weirds me out. I experienced more Safari crashing too, but WAYYYYYY less than the limited and painful time I was exposed to 7.0.4.
Beta 2, notwithstanding lack of lightning video support, feels ready for GM to me. And before your counter argument, look at 7.0.4/7.0.6 and how its GM and publicly signed. LOL.
I'm in sheer awe of the speed too with animations sped up and using that a7 on my rMini. Not to say a6 is a slouch, but a7+7.1 SHREDS. I also must still be in the WOW phase with my Rmini even though I got it boxing day, over form factor and getting a great screen first go round. I got crappy ipad 4 screens and went through hell to get a good ipad 3 one so i went back to it despite being a5x and all (30-pin as well), so I didn't wanna dabble and ended up striking gold! This thing feels like a quantum leap even coming from 6.1.2 on the 3,
at the time tweaked to perfection. Speaking of which, I've felt since iOS 6+7 jailbreaks (evasi0n era) I've felt like I've been taking advantage of more tweaks than ever and functionality messing around and keeping an ear out here (lots of kudos to
MR and its users, the main place getting 7.1 beta coverage, r/jailbreak seems to frown upon it, and iDB doesnt really discuss it cause its not relevant to most people), r/jailbreak and iDB for new tweak developments. It seems like the golden era gets a bit more golden every couple of days.
Can't imagine the iOS8 jailbroken/iPhone 6 combo. Hopefully GM by that go round and none of this rat race geohot lunar eclipse/chinese/piracy drama event, though I am still quite grateful for its the gift that keeps on giving. On the pad front I am set. I feel really set with my iPhone 5 too at the moment, but I would only imagine its only going to improve from here.
Not just ordinary, extra-ordinary!
I have three pages of tweaks in Settings not including those that are just icons or tweaks without preferences or icons that just take effect:
