I'm the same way, don't have any of those service adds.
Yeah I'm thinking it'll become more cluttered. Seems to be going that direction.
Got a tip for us?

Sadly the jig is up for me. I think I was ultimately done in by the admin console issue you mentioned. After Good was working for the last two months, all of a sudden yesterday it failed the Compliance check and deleted itself. #
When I read this I thought of the end of Stephen King's "The Langoliers"
They'll get you.. and they'll eat everything! Self destructive! LOL

Does it work for the DirecTV for iPad app? xCon 40 beta2 works for that one (if you don't upgrade to the new 4.0.1 version) but it breaks so many other things
With xCon 40 beta2 installed, the official Twitter app will not display any images or videos. It's blocking some host inside the Twitter domain that probably hosts the pics.
It also broke Citymapper's ability to download new city information. I worked around it by installing all the new cities with xCon removed. (I think the issue there is either a similar host blocking issue, or perhaps another issue where SQLite database files are being mysteriously marked as read-only when xCon 40 is installed.)
Someone else told me on Twitter "I can confirm the Twitter issue as well. Also, Evernote crashes when opening and Spotify logs out every time the app is closed."
xCon 40 seems a mess, unfortunately.
xcon 41 works with the Tivo app, but you have to be quick, and sometimes you can't be quick enough.
definitely needs work, but the trade-off of sometimes having to reload the tivo app multiple times before it works is worth it to be jailbroken.

my guess is, "where does one download xcon 41"? I believe the latest available is xcon 40 beta...
I had xcon beta 40 and it updated a few weeks ago to xcon beta 41 from xarold
EDIT: now you got me wondering what it updated. I did a quick search and I don't see xcon beta 41 anywhere, so thinking it's a bad file name. Works just fine, but will install the official 40
EDIT 2: both insanelyI and xarold have beta 41... are we sure they didn't release a 41?
EDIT 3: actually did some searching, and in fact there IS a 40 beta 1 and 40 beta 2... I can't post a link to where the dev discusses it because it's a site against the rules here hah

Damn, those xcon updates keep getting buggier and either break something or dont support many apps.
What's worked for me has been Flex -- most apps that have JB checks will have a Flex 'hack' (or whatever they're called) to get rid of the JB check. Nice to know about this app though, hadn't heard of it before.
What version of xcon you got installed chief?
Everything running ok with no issues?
Still on b40v1... tried going to b40v2 and it just gave too many issues.
It runs ok, not as well as the old days. Every once in a while if I launch the app and it sits for too long before I play or stream or record something, it'll do the "Unauthorized Modifications Detected" message, which I just quit then re-open the app and all is well.
Well worth it. The Tivo update this week fixed a lot of the annoyances I had with the old app, like not easily able to toggle between DVR and iPad tabs, which they hid before, and now is back to front and center where it belongs.
