iPad spirit jailbreak out!

SBSettings and maybe Proswitcher crash my iPad repeatedly going into Safe mode. I finally uninstalled both. installed SBS 3 times, always crashes.

SBSettings should work. The only thing, so far, that I've seen crashy in it is the Processes module.

Also, to everyone jailbreaking their iPads... first thing to download is Respring. It will give you a quick button to respring and should clear glitches of some stuff. (in the case of SBSettings, try respringing?)
 
Honestly the only reason I would attempt this is for FOLDER support. Does anyone know if cydia's folders work on the ipad? So I can clear up the endless pages of apps?

Thanks!

Can we keep this thread about experiences jail breaking and save the moral arguments for another one? This is a useful resource.

What I've tested:

Works
- Backgrounder
- OpenSSH
- SBSettings AdBlock Toggle
- Safari Download Plugin
- Activator
- iFile

Kind of Works
- SBSettings (Only in vertical, graphically small, Process viewer crashes to SafeMode)

Does NOT Work
- ProSwitcher (SafeMode Crash)
- Kirikae (SafeMode Crash)
- LockInfo (Preference error, cannot turn on)
- MobileTerminal (App crash to Springboard)

Works on Apple's remote app. This alone has made it 110% worth it.

Also works on iFile and Dropbox.

Has anyone been able to buy MiWi (No Rock) from Cydia? I'm having no luck. It's worth paying for, I just can't seem to do it. In Cydia it says something in super tiny font after agreeing to the terms (I think it says it's only available in Cydia and Rock - I can't zoom).

Attempting to install results in 2-3 403 errors, and a springboard restart.

I had the same problem on my iPhone. I ended up buying MyWi and Rock and after several crashes if finally installed.

I agree with you completely. I am here to learn. However, that does not include trading experiences on piracy, which is a different issue from jb and is why I reacted. The discussion should not go down that path at all. Period.

From what I hear Categories works, but CategoriesSB does not. Categories brings up a small window (iPhone sized) for each folder.

Thanks thats what I am looking for I don't use SB just the old one seems to work best and use less memory.
 
I jailbroke my Ipad and it worked fine. Then I went to Cydia and installled SBsettings. Then after it rebooted it messed up the layout of my Ipad. The background was gone. The dock was squished into a small corner. When I opened Cydia to try and uninstall SBsettings, I couldn't even click to the "manage" tab. Weird.

So I'm doing a restore. So it seems like some people have success with SBsettings and some don't.

Go to SBSettings and Respring. This should fix it.

This is weird. I tried going to SBSettings and I tried clicking the Respring button but it did nothing. Tried going to Cydia and it wouldn't let me select anything either.

Ended up doing a restore.
 
lol @ devs charging the HD tax when a simple .plist mod can yield a similar result?

And they wonder why some people pirate software.

I didn't do a respring but a reboot from SBsettings. But I also, like you, couldn't select anything in Cydia.

Is respring and rebooting going to do the same thing?

It does not work for everything. In fact, it broke tumblr, étude, and fstream to name a few.

Nope, powering off n reboot is not going to help... only respring works
 
OK.. but does it work with SF IV? That would be awesome if someone could check for us.

Thanks in advance!

Saw a couple comments of people getting their iPad bricked...anyone else with problems?

showComment=1272898692648#c2160631828755295495

is spiritjb.com down?

Don't wanna f-up my iPad with this jailbreak...wait for GeoHot instead?

Most likely incorrect usage of the term 'bricked' which means unrecoverable damage. I am sure there will be some instances of failure and iPad's needing a restore. I doubt the iPad was truly 'bricked'.
