flux will never be on a non JB'd iDevice. It uses system level APIs that are not available to any apps but Apple. The best you hope for is Apple to ad a feature like it within iOS. It's one of the reasons I'll be on the JB train for iOS7 if or when it comes.
Agreed. The better route would be to petition this to Apple as an "Accessibility" feature to be added to iOS . those are the features for iOS/Macs that make things a bit easier for people with physical disabilities, poor eyesight, muscle weakness, carpal tunnel, etc etc etc.
The current approach shouting at Apple "This is a GREAT Jailbreak-based app, Apple! We love it, so you better allow it or else!!!" . is surely going to get the cold shoulder from Apple.
