Hey everyone!

Just asking a rather taboo question, but I'm considering jailbreaking (first time jailbreaking) an iPad to install "f.lux" on it via Cydia, but I also have plans of restoring it to its previous un-jailbroken status (since there's only one application in particular that has sparked my interest.)

Is there any way of going about this process, or must I keep the iPad in 'jailbroken' status to keep Cydia applications? I'm assuming that it's a 'no' since there is no 'f.lux' application match to be found in the app store.

must remain jailbroken to keep f.lux
 
Nope, if you lose the jb you lose all the tweaks. Is there a particular reason you wanted to un-jb it?

Btw, if you do jb you might also want to check out Dimmer, it lets you control the iPad brightness all the way down to full darkness.
