So let me get this straight ( I'm new to the iPhone and JB scene, been a big Nexus rooter and ROM guy for years ) So the beta JB released last week was like an Alpha and very early meant for developers mainly ? But this guy has been updating the beta every few days and fixing bugs and adding features ? And as of right now he's on beta 4, where last weeks original release was beta 1 ?
Main thing I'd like to JB for are these;
- Pixel launcher
- Google search bar widget
- Icon packs
- Virtual home button to work just by tapping it not having to press
- A way to close all running background apps with one click
- Set default apps to what I prefer, not forced to only use Apple apps
- Lockscreen tweeks like different clock, etc...
- iFile
- Speed up animations
its in beta, not alpha, next step should be gamma/release candidate.
hes at a conference, without a laptop where he debugs and stuff I think
so there's downtime right now, beta4 was supposedly unstable ro something, I'm on beta3,
if you're new to scene, wait for stability/a clean release without tinkering
you want a good first experience, straight forward. coming from ROMs and all its a breeze but
probably virtual home button and sped up animations are all you'll get for now, and iFile, while other things work on being updated
I think iFile may work but I haven't tried
and closing all apps is actually bad practice on a day to day, over time once every blue moon sure and GPS-intensive apps absolutely close, but it has to reload the app from flash to RAM, and that consumes energy every time vs already being in memory but inactive
