Hey!

Relatively new to this whole Flex business, and loving the possibilities!
So far, I've only enabled contact pictures in Messages.app, but would love to know what YOUR favourite ones are, and how to enable them!

Specifically ones that are great for iOS 7 would be great. I look forward to seeing your patches!
 
It would really be helpful to Flex2 newbies (like myself) if the line by line scripts for these mods (like enabling contact photos) were posted together in a thread.

There is a thread on reddit, but it has so many back and forth discussions/disputes on this and that, it is hard to follow.

I agree, and I'll get the ball rolling! To enable contact photos in messages, do the following:
- New patch + > Messages > Add units > ChatKit
- Search for contactphoto (no space)
- Check/enable the first two results. They are useContactPhotosInConversationList and shouldShowContactPhotos
- Go back to the Patch Editor and tap on the names of these classes, then tap on pass-through which is under the Return Value (bool) subheader
- Tap override value and tap TRUE.
(repeat for both classes listed in italics above)

Ensure your patch is switched on!

This is working on your 5S?

How would this be done for contact photo in contacts?
 
Repo is empty, I have refreshed several times. Is there something else I need to do first?

Nothing special required. I just removed and readded and it's not empty here. Something funky going on there.

Unsure as I still am a Flex newbie too! Hopefully someone else can answer this :D

Deleted and tried again. Works now. Cheers
 
Are patches working for anyone on their 5S? I'm trying to get contact pictures in the messages app but they are not working for me.
 
I read there is a flex patch for unlimited skips in iTunes radio. I don't know how to do it because I'm not familiar with flex.

If someone could post instructions that would be awesome.
 
worth the price of admission just for the pandora "all in one: v.3.1" tweak
Gives you pandora|one
unlimited skips
zero buffering
high quality
and a few other things.
its a tweak i use everyday
 
Can anyone confirm that Flex works on ios 7.1 beta 2? I have it installed and several patches but i'm not seeing message pictures for example?

There is also a reddit thread on how to use the dark keyboard in apps with flex 2. Pretty cool!
