**Why wouldn't @evad3rs coordinate with the Cydia developers?
Jay Freeman (saurik) @saurik 2m
So, I got no lead time on evasi0n7, nor was I asked for an official iOS 7 Cydia; I was not given builds, nor was I asked for things to test.
Jay Freeman (saurik) @saurik 1m
In fact, @evad3rs didn't even try my testing build of Substrate I gave core developers, so they didn't notice a fundamental incompatibility.
Jay Freeman (saurik) @saurik 2m
This means they are going to have to push a new version of their untether to fix this oversight before I can push newer builds of Substrate.
Jay Freeman (saurik) @saurik 2m
As there was also never a tethered jailbreak for iOS 7 that had fully working kernel patches I haven't been able to test much at all myself.
Jay Freeman (saurik) @saurik 1m
I thereby have no clue what will or will not work, or even what evasi0n7 includes; I hope that people bear with me as I figure this all out.
Jay Freeman (saurik) @saurik 1m
(In particular, I will point out that the build of "Cydia" included is not official, and couldn't really include the fixes I'd been making.)
Jay Freeman (saurik) @saurik 2m
(Also, it's 5 AM here; I'm quite tired and had been intending to go to sleep, so I don't have the brain power to react to this all quickly.)

Hope this doesn't get patched in 7.1 :S Eitherway great news 
Someone mentioned maybe patching the beta to not expire? Might that be worthwhile on the Air since that gains the most benefit from 7.1? That is of course if Apple manage to patch the JB before release.

So judging from that, it might be worth holding off till they push a new version out?

I'm staying away for now. I'll prob JB when @saurik has everything ironed out (read his recent Twitter posts above). Hopefully by 7.1. Good stuff regardless. I didn't see this coming at all !!
Well so far the only thing that I have been able to download on Cydia is winter board. No themes work yet But at least there is progress!!
But at least there is progress!!Has anyone been able to run the program on Windows 8.1? It's not running for me, even after saying it's OK to run
mine did once.. as I was going to restore it "fixed" it self... I´ve only installed MobileTerminal 520-2, and rebooted several times
iPad2 wifi went in boot loop after JB attempt on a clean 7.04 restore
Be careful and backup your stuff before starting!!

Yes, I was able to get it running, but it sent my Iphone 5s on 7.04 into endless boot.
