General iOS 7.1.1 Jailbreak released

that is what I have done three times now. I updated to 7.1.2 setup as new, jailbreak with Pangu, I see the cydia app. The I restore from previous backup, then the Cydia app is gone. It is still jailbroken but Cydia is gone.
Some very minor visual glitches...but except for that it seems to work as well as or better than any other jailbreak in the past.
The weirdness associated with having to change the date and turn off automatic update caused some old iMessages to show up, which was a surprise.
Seems to work just fine as long as you can put up with a 1/8s quick flash of a bright blue horizontal line every once in while. I don't know what settings I would have that cause that, if nobody else has it.
I said a while back that I would stop jailbreaking because everything that I'd wanted to jailbreak for had eventually been incorporated into iOS.
In the end...I couldn't help myself.

Definitely looked in the same place, also searched the IPAD for cydia and could not find it. I also installed 3g unrestrictor and sb settings along with activator and tetherme, prior to restoring. The apps for all of them disappeared, but activator and tetherme still show in the settings. Really weird.
Type this into safari.
Cydia://
Should open cydia. You can then re-install substrate and reboot
Is anybody else having trouble with the jailbreak installing? ip5 7.1.2. It appears to work fine, it says complete but my phone boots fine and there's no cydia. I installed it again, and then it went through an installation process and cydia worked. I rebooted my phone earlier because I double yelp app after updating it, but one was grayed out like it was installing. After reboot, all my jb installed apps disappeared. I restored again and same thing happened; install said complete, but it didn't boot into the cydia installer.
Also, where the check box to not install whatever it is we don't want to install? I'm on the mac version. I didn't notice anything extra being installed, but thats not saying much, haha

Hmm. I can't handle glitches. It's why I switched from Android. Perhaps I should stick to 6.1.2?Some very minor visual glitches...but except for that it seems to work as well as or better than any other jailbreak in the past.

if your apps disappear, reinstall mobilesubstrate or one of the missing apps/tweaks and the problem should go away
I've not had any of the glitches he has mentioned, though I haven't had a chance to update, still on 7.1.1
Thanks!
Do you know about that ppsync thing? I didn't see any check boxes to not install that? Is that thing still installed on the mac version?
It happened to me last night, so just restored the phone and tried again. It worked the second time.
To be honest I don't remember, it was a long night and it's only 8:40 in the morning so I'm a bit groggy, but everything completed successfully according to the Pangu app on my desktop.
My first failed try said that also. Which is why I restored and tried again. I was paranoid that time and closed iTunes and kept Pangu in focus lol
I'm doing this on my iPad, but Cydia is still not showing up. I've restored and rejailbroken (in the proper order) four times now.
Things went perfectly on my iPhone.
It crashes native apps frequently supposedly. I think that's the main concern more so than potential legality issues
