I thought it would be interesting to list the cydia hacks you have installed and how many times a day you notice your phone rebooting. I say notice because I know mine reboots sometimes when I'm not even touching it. And I'm not always there to catch it.

Now I don't have all these activated, but the majority I am using. My phone randomly resprings when I"m unlocking it. Maybe one out of every 15 unlocks. I thought it was due to Lockglyph, so I disabled it and within 3 unlocks it resprung again. Then around 5 times a day it will resping when I'm doing random stuff, so it's pretty much impossible to pin point. I see 3 or 4 times a day where it's sitting on my desk with the screen off and I'll hear the sound when it boots up, so it resprung on it's own. I know 8.1.2 isn't 100% stable but this is too many crashes to be normal. I'm a bit lazy to remove tweaks one by one until I find the problem ones. I don't really know other peoples experiences here so I wanted to see what's typical for JBers on 8.1.2

Take 50 percent of the tweaks off and test for a day or two, if it still crashes put the other 50 back on and take this 50 off and test again. Eventually you should be able to find the culprit, or conflicting apps. You do have a lot of similar **** on there though so it would be hardly surprising if there is a conflict. I have zero resprings a day and I have quite a few tweaks on now. Easiest way to check if a spring has happened while you were gone is to look at the battery usage stats (standby time), if they are blank (and they weren't the last time you checked) then you had a respring. Although manually respring'n will erase the times too don't forget.
 
Bcos u installing like mad crap things from cydia and u dont even know what u have in phone.. and then u whingeing something is wrong..
It is only your fault..
Why the hell u have zeppelin for when same thing is in springtomize? For example?
Du u have idea how much SYSTEM space u have left?
 
Never.

I have dozens of tweaks installed, and it never just resprings on its own.

I've been in the jailbreaking community as a user for years ... since iPhone 3G... and I've never even heard of about 1/3 of the tweaks you have installed.

I know jailbreaking has become mainstream and easy with a one-click so that just about anyone can do it, but you have to realize what you're doing and be smart about it. You're opening up your root file system to anyone who you install a tweak from. So if someone wants to gain access to your files, personal and otherwise, they just say "hey download my new tweak that does so and so" and you go and download it and they've got access to basically anything on your phone, not to mention do damage because they don't know what they're doing as a developer.

I stick to mainstream tweaks from trusted developers.
 
I've got about 30 non-standard tweaks installed and the only one in common with the OP is Activator.

I get the occasional crash...once every couple of days. Never happens "on its own". Seems like it's less frequent which leads me to think it's the improvements on the LockInfo8 betas.

I'm not complaining was just curious, I looked into what tweaks I put in it wasn't just randomly installing crap I saw. As for the Zeppelin and Springtomize, Sprintomize lets you change the carrier logo to text and Zeppelin lets you change it to a logo. Unless I really missed something in Sprintomize there is no setting to change the carrier logo to another logo.

I fully realize there is a tweak compatibility from 2 tweaks I installed, but prior to installing each one I looked into what they work and don't work with. That's why I got rid of some already that didn't play well together. I can't find anything about the ones I still have so I'm removing 1 by 1 until the problem stops.
 
Thankfully never. Not once.

I have around 30 tweaks installed.

Winterboard
Hideme8
Shrink
Folder enhancer
Nitrous
Ccsettings
Messages customiser
FBNoNeedMessenger
NoSlowAnimations
iFile
Applocker
Bloard
Bars
Check
Clear badges
Convo Pics
Flex 2
iCleaner
Multi icon mover
Unlimitones

That's all I can remember off top of my head.

All work fine. Zero reboots that aren't initiated by myself.
 
What does it mean when my phone freezes and loses signal 3-4 times a day? I don't even have a lot of tweaks installed, maybe 7-8 tweaks.
 
mines probably doing this multiple times a day. ive got a bunch of crap installed thats why im taking so much time to do a restore but i have no choice at this point. i dont want to lose my setup

I have a customer on his 3rd stock iPhone 6 as the first two were locking up on him. No jailbreak.

Yours could have this issue if you can't nail down a specific tweak or tweak conflict.
 
Well looks like Spin was the app causing my phone to re-spring, sucks because I really like it. I guess now I need to re-add it and remove other tweaks 1 by 1 until I find what's clashing with it.

But, used to before when on IOS7 jailbreak with themes installed.

So, I stay away from Winterboard and themes = No problem at all now.

As a technology professional, I would never, ever consider jailbreaking my iOS devices because I simply like them to work correctly and remain secure.

I've owned 8 iOS devices from the 3GS up to iPhone 6 and have never, ever had a single problem with any of them (none of them has EVER spontaneously rebooted). I've also never once found a need to jailbreak them simply because I can or because it's the "cool thing to do".

Why jailbreak a perfectly stable iOS device when you can buy a POS Android device for half the cost and mess it up easily with no jailbreak necessary!
