Why Jailbreak your A5 device?

Idk that last iPhone I had as well was a 3G, followed by a crap ton of android. I think I need to get back in the jailbreaking game on my 4s. I'm only rooting for access to cydia and the apps that apple blocks. Maybe a little theming to go along with that jailbreak. The first thing I'm going to do is search for a freaking keyboard that has arrows or maybe some type of cursor that pops up when trying to select In between words etc. It's driving me nuts!

Do it dude, jailbreak now

 

Pandora Skips
Sbsettings

 

activator
springflash
bitesms

 

I have the same opinion... I dont feel the need to jailbreak and even less with all the problems you get with the new jailbreak

 

Activator
SBSettings
Springflash
MyWi
KillBackground
CallerIDFaker
BlurredNCBackground

There's a few more but they'll go without saying.

 

The new sms sistem in ios 5 is almost like Bitesms...

 

Installous.

 

I don't have a 4S but I have a 4 running iOS 5 and my best friend has a 4S. After I was able to jailbreak my 4 him and I both decided that the only real reason left to jailbreak iOS 5 for is SBSettings, specifically for the notification center widget. Aside from that iOS 5 pretty much covered any complaints I have ever had with iOS in the past. Now the only other thing I can think of that I would wanna change is having the option of seperate volume controls for ringer, text tone, keyboard clicks, etc. I'm sure there's something in Cydia that u can install that allows that tho, I just don't know about it yet if so.

 

I retain my non-jailbreaking policy....I'm sure that benefits exist, but I prefer my stuff to remain as Apple intended. Just looking around the forums this weekend seems to confirm my safety first policy There seem to be an inordinate amount of "help I JB'd my phone " type postings.

 

dude support the devs...dont pirate

 

Agreed!

 

Only reason i jail broke was for adblock.

 

lol no it's not. can you reply to a text while in another app?

 

Haven't felt the need to jailbreak since iOS 5 was released.

In my jailbreaking past, I always noticed the phone slowed down. May have been placebo, but I'd rather my tech stuff just work nowadays.

 

iBlacklist and 3G Unrestrictor. iBlacklist blocks all calls not in my contacts.

3G Unrestrictor allows you to download any song or video or app bigger than 20GB while on 3G.

 

IntelliscreenX
BiteSMS
Folder Closer
Folder Enhancer
CallBar
ActionMenu (Must Have)
Five Icon Dock
NoNewsIsGoodNews
PhotoMail
Springflash

 

I do. I use installous so I can install the previous updates. Don't always like the latest update.

 

Why would I wanna do that anyway?....

 

I did it so I could get rid of the AT&T logo and put the camera button in the lock screen permanently, and I use 3G Unrestrictor to make wifi-only stuff like FaceTime and Photostream work over 3G.

 

I did it so I could use various tweaks to fix all the things in iOS that bug me (like Safari's bookmark popup at launch or Siri's lack of voice activation).

I could go without jail breaking and still be very happy but why put up with things that annoy me when I can change them?

 

As long as Apple has a closesd IOS but wants to control and dictate what apps and tweaks I can run on my device. I will always feel the need to jailbreak. 100 plus fart apps but Apple won't let me have SBsettings, Lockinfo, BiteSMS, IntelliscreenX Etc. Thank you Apple!

 

What's the point of jailbreaking?

 

Besides banners, notifications still suck in ios5.
