Kinda of a shame, you did it at your own risk, though it did allow you to enjoy more out of your iPhone.

Two Major Cydia Repositories Shut Down as Jailbreaking Fades in Popularity

The only iPhone I jailbroke was the original and that was because it wasn’t available here so I had to in order to make it work.
By the time I moved off that phone to the iPhone 4 I no longer saw any reason to jailbreak.
If you are into the things Jailbreaking offers I really think Android might be more your thing.

Have no idea what phone you are using but non of these is an issue for me on iPhone X. But I guess different people do have different expectations from their phone.
There was a time years ago when me too did JB my iPhone due to the lack of many features, to just reverse back to stock iOS months after when realising that with the goods comes the bad, having my phone slowed down, battery drain more then usual, crashes, bugs, what not.
Will never go down that road again. iOS does have almost all I need. Always ON display is something I like on my Galaxy S8 but there is no way in a world I would JB my iPhone X for that.
Understand it or not the argument is a philosophical one. Should you have the right to do as you choose with a device you've paid for?
And yes that right includes the ability to screw the device-up beyond repair.
Na na na na. I am not thanking rebels at all. I am thanking competition, specifically Android. Apple had to compete or be left behind. JB was no threat or competition to Apple.
The jailbreak features were obvious, and Apple didn't take any inspiration from them. As usual, they added features slowly either
- to make sure everything's vetted
- or to "keep their powder dry" so they can entice people with new features continuously
- or both.
The addition of custom wallpapers was probably the second one.

Google Maps has gotten me lost twice due to incorrect directions, Apple maps zero times. Google has tried to take me down many one-way streets in Los Angeles, while Apple has not. Until recently, I used both about the same and, for a couple of weeks, I used both at the same time on East Coast (USA) for the comparison.
Of course, that's only in the areas I happened to drive through, so I'm not going to act like it's that way for everyone. That's like saying a cell provider absolutely sucks just because it's bad where you live. But Google Maps does suck your battery down in any case.

This is on iPhone 6S and SE, and I've seen the same things happen on 7. Saying that you aren't seeing them on a X is honestly dumb to say, because this is the latest from Apple, so all their attention went to it and no love and care was given to 7 and older. Honestly I think you've dismissed any issues you've seen, because I've seen iPhone 8 and X suffer from those very issues I listed. iPhone X is a mess on iOS 11. If there was a JB for it, I guarantee that developers would be all over it to fix all the annoyances, wasted space, unintuitive actions, etc. The JB community is all about making iOS better for the end user, it always has been. My biggest complaints with iOS 10 were solved with 4 tweaks. Tinybar to fix the obtrusive annoying banners. For anyone with a JB device, I heavily recommend it. Horseshoe to put all controls back on card one in the control center. Noctis for dark mode on the lockscreen, notification center, control center, banners, and dock. Lastly Eclipse for dark mode in apps. Eclipse, Noctis and Horseshoe worked together, so when you had Eclipse installed with Noctis, you had the option to enable and disable them at the same time. With Horseshoe installed, it would add the dark mode toggle into the control center. It all worked together, it worked 100% of the time and worked perfectly everytime. My experience on iOS 10.2 with the JB was wonderful.
Nah man, you see..... all these eye sore stuff you got on these photos may be cool for some but not for me. You should realise that not everyone uses the phone on the same way or need same things from the phone. What you may find it useful or pleasing to your eyes some others may not. I personally would never ever make my phone look like that.
So what you are saying is that you would never like a dark mode ever? Ha ha very funny.
I find it funny that you wouldn't want that of what I pictured. What I pictured was what the control center in iOS 10 should've looked like from the start, and basically exactly what you would get if Apple added a universal dark mode to iOS. I find it funny that you wouldn't want control over the device that you payed so much money for.
Well, I find it funny that you find it funny other people don't like stuff that you do. I do have a control over the device I have. As much control as I personally would need. Why on earth is it so hard for you people to realise that some of us have different preferences/needs? All these tweaks you have showed to me that to you may look amazing, to me look like they have been done by a 14 year old kid. Face it, we do not like/need same things. Period.
I would love for you to elaborate on what looks like a "14 year old's" work.
I loved Jailbreaking my iPhones. Made the user interface much more beautiful and easier to use. Tweaks were the best. Now it's all gone.
Apple shouldn't shy away from people developing such tweaks, it's actually beneficial for them. Having an independent party give you free ideas that you're OS is lacking and slowly implementing it into the iOS.
Free Ideas people, well for Apple anyway.
I still remember all the useful tweaks I would download and use, even till this day.
I've been waiting for the next Jailbreak since iPhone 6.. Today is a very sad day indeed..

it's all preference, I still remember a lot of tweaks I used, and would still use today. Lost interest in JB IS because of no JB. that is the truth.
Apple has nowhere near applied all of Cydia's useful tweaks into their iOS.

Gotta agree with this guy, those screenshots are very unappealing to me.
If only Apple would allow for maps downloading and could tap into the vast (unrivaled) Google dataset on businesses & geographic info
Lol
Lol dude, you're saying that everyone has different preferences, so why are you grilling on Thunder's preference for Darkmode?
Jailbreaking gives people more capability to customise their iPhones to their EXACT preference.

That makes no sense and you wasted my time as well as yours to literally refuse to answer the simple question. You simply can't argue that it's fine, because it's the same thing as stock, but the white and grey backgrounds are inverted to make a clean elegant solution for using your device in a dark place. It's literally like flipping the Smart Invert switch in display accommodations, but this mode actually does something efficient and doesn't bog down your phone by having to render everything you see on screen. With those tweaks, it changes a couple color codes and that's it. Also keep in mind that you can fine tune the colors and translucency to make it look better if it looks off.
Another thing I want to mention is that you are making it seem that you think that I used this all the time. I didn't, I only used it at night, because that's what it was designed for. At a specific time, the tweak and night shift would turn on, and I wouldn't have to worry about stressing out my eyes at night. Most of the time, I used stock day mode.
Great idea, needs refining. Contrast with a couple things are off and makes them difficult to see. You can fix that with Flex, or wait for someone to fix it themselves, because that option actually exists. Overall, still better than the current mess that is Instagram 8-24.
Lol, dude. Read my comments. I never said I was surprised he does like it. Don't give a flying monkey what people like. I don't like it myself the way I see it in the images and I think it looks like trash. I believe I made myself clear on that. End of story.
The interest is there. Is just the hackers haven’t been releasing them. I been waiting months for it
