So I just opened mail, and for some reason, the phone hung there for several minutes. I'm on 5.1 w/ a tethered JB (rest of the details in my sig below).

I'm not too concerned - I'll just have to wait until I get home and boot tethered w/ RedSn0w (man - I need to update to 5.1.1 and run the untethere JB...).

I've always been able to get a semi-tethered type boot on 5.1, despite it being a "full tethered" jailbreak. My phone came back up, and I can still text/make calls, browse with Dolphin, etc (mail is down for sure).

The puzzling part is that some of the JB stuff that I would think would be disabled is still running. Most of Springtomize's features seem to be disabled, and infinifolders is not working (split items into two separate folders), but by theme is still working on all of my icons.

EDIT: Also just noticed that while all my icons are still themed, the little notifications for each icon (i.e. new message) are now red like stock (the them I have makes them gray squares). Seems odd that icons are themed, but some of those add ons are not...

I was under the impression that any themes, etc. would be inoperable like any other JB tweak in this situation. Just curious to see if anyone has any input as to why a theme would still function when (supposedly) Winterboard and other JB apps/tweaks are down until I 'just boot tethered' w/ RedSn0w...
