Mobile substrate is packaged with the current version of Cydia. But it is not updated for ios7 and A7 devices. Some tweaks will work, but if you're on a device that is a 64 bit chip, most of the tweaks will not work. You can JB now and just wait for everything to be updated. Which should be soon.
My iPhone 5 I have hidden subs settings and f.lux running fine. The other tweaks I like to use, do not and I'll have to wait it out. Developers and Saurik will update and we'll see them roll out soon.
----------
If you've restored as new, you lose the jailbreak. Are you saying you restored as new and the re applied the jailbreak and you still cannot see Cydia?
Ok try this... Turn off your phone, then turn it on again... Once you see the apple logo hold the volume up button... It should start in safe mode... Might help you...
Yes it does run and jailbreak fine. Too bad that most people on a 64 bit device can't really run any of the actual, you know, tweaks.
I have a bad feeling that evaders team screwed us all on this one. They wanted a million dollar pay day, released it without letting Saurik do his mobile substrate thing so that stuff would actually work, and now Apple will easily find the security holes and patch them right up before 7.1.
7.1 will most likely bring about a few major changes in iOS experience, so we will be stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I've been jailbroken on my retina mini since it came out, and can find basically no useful purpose. All of my normal tweaks don't work.
But hey, if you're Chinese, then you're golden. Congratulations.
Mr. solo you're right, most A7 devices can't do much. But the jailbreak works. It makes no sense to wait for MS to update to jailbreak. In the end its all the same.
No one is forcing you to jailbreak. The evaders also don't owe you, myself, or anyone else anything. They didn't screw you. And so what if they wanted to get paid?
They could very easily sell security holes to private companies if they wanted to. You for damn sure are not paying them for their hours put in, and no one else on this board is.
Thank you that explains most of it, so upon jailbreaking is there anything I need to uninstall though (then install at a later time when MS is updated) so as to not run into any problems? Also f.lux it installs without needing to install anything else? I love this tweak so that's good to hear.
Either read and search the 100s of threads on this already
Or
Install everything you can. Everything is working perfectly
No. Just install the JB and wait for the updates to roll out. You can install f/lux now, but install Bootstrap as well. This will keep the app from disappearing in the settings menu after you re-boot.
Just do it already. Back up first and go for it.
iOS 7 JB Released
I read all the pages on this thread but still I am not sure if it is better to first install ios 7.1 beta 2 and then jailbrake or stay on ios 7.0.4 and jailbreak. I am on an iphone 5 gsm, factory unlocked.
What it is not clear to me is that I read on one of the posts that some tweaks don't work if you are on ios 7.1 beta 2 and therefore that is the reason it is better to stay on 7.0.4 and JB.
So, should I stay on ios 7.0.4?

Stay on 7.0.4. Eventually the 7.1 betas will expire and you'll either have to downgrade or upgrade to the latest beta/iOS version which may or may not be available for the next update.
I was on 7.1 beta 2 and everything was ok. The few tweaks that I was using we're working ok. F.lux, zeppelin, and winter board. I did do the expiration hack, but read that this might not work. Apple could at any time drop a 7.0.5 update just to close the JB door and I did not want to be stuck having to restore back to stock after the beta expires. It's too bad because 7.1 beta 2 was much smoother. If I knew for sure that the hack would work , I would of stayed.
Has anyone experiencing any battery drain issues? I JB my iPad air yesterday and just watching my battery percentage going down like crazy as I browse the net and type this.
It used to be really good before the JB.
Anyone experiencing similar issues? Cheers

No such problems here on the iPad 3 / iPhone 5. I've even made some long-lasting battery tests on the former for the AirDrop test I've promised. Haven't managed to measure any battery level drop during the 6 hours of standby of the test.
That is, at least on 32-bit devices, there don't seem to be any power drain problem.

Please follow my posts / threads - I've thoroughly tested the 7.1b2 expiration hack and found it non-working. See https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1688804/
That is, stay with 7.0.4.
They must have been installed all kinds of stuff: themes, cracked stuff etc.
I have the following apps/tweaks on my iPad 3 (all legal, non-cracked):
afc2add
f.lux
Skype Recorder
AirDrop Enabler 7.0+
Respring
iFile
and on my iPhone 5:
afc2add
f.lux
Skype Recorder
Audio (Call) Recorder
my iPhone 5 camera enhancer
Respring
iFile
No problems with these.
Is your audio recorder working on the i5
All reports mentioned that the app does not record any calls.
Guys help,
So accidentally i turn off my iPhone 4 7.0.4 JB and i "lost", none of my tweaks shows up. I haven't have any trouble until now, what should i do?
