iPhone Delete all tweaks without going back to stock

[stage5]

Hey everyone,

I have downloaded a lot of tweaks and I believe some of them may have made my phone slower so what I would like to do is basically refresh everything, lose all my tweaks and start fresh like the first time it was jailbroken. Then I want to only install a few tweaks.

What is the best way to do this?

Thank you.

I've tried both and I find that semi restore works better for removing everything. It's literally just like a fresh restore, but you are able to keep your jailbreak.

It is curious semi-restore restores and Apple iDevice yet is not available on an Apple computer.

Until then... iLEX RAT

I think he means it's odd that a tool made for iOS devices does not have a Mac compatible version.

Personally i prefer iLEX since it's device dependent, i've tried Semi Restore recently and it leaves some leftovers without taking care of them, example my Bytafont font was still there after a successful restore.

That's strange, I had the exact same problem, but with ilex. Semi restore was able to remove everything for me.

Yup, i'm not sure how much wiping either of these tools can do, i could see a bunch of empty removed tweaks folders under system files but overall they do relatively great job, i think maybe Semi-Restore does deeper cleaning, my battery life was absolutely horrible even after using iLEX but improved drastically when i used Semi-Restore it's worth noting though (from what i remember) iLEX can restore while preserving all data on the device( Pictures, apps etc..) Semi-Restore can't do that.

Does anyone know if semi-restore works in a virtual environment (VM Fusion) or does it have to be an actual Windows desktop?

TIA

This method is much easier and less problematic:

1- Go to Cydia and un-install Cydia Substrate.
2- Make sure iCleaner Pro is still installed.
3- Open iCleaner Pro and tap the + in the lower left corner.
4- Go to Preference files and delete all them that don't have a corresponding tweak installed. Follow up by reinstalling Cydia Substrate.
5- Respring and enjoy you like new jailbroken device.
