what does jail breaking mean? From: Raul A. Gallegos Sent: Wednesday, December 25, 2013 10:10 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iOS7 Jailbreak Released
Hi, when I read about this the news was the many tweaks which depend on mobile substrait were not working reliably. Just give it time though, and eventually you will find that the tweaks which might not be ready for iOS 7 will eventually become so. I also plan on jailbreaking, but I'm not in any hurry. As much as I like jailbroken access and freedom, I have to admit that iOS 7 has done a great job more so than past major versions and I haven't missed the jailbreak from iOS 4, 5, and 6 as much as I thought I would. -- Raul A. Gallegos I'm feeling lazier than the guy who drew the Japanese flag. - Sheldon Cooper Twitter and Facebook user ID: rau47 On 12/23/2013 6:28 AM, Ben Mustill-Rose wrote: > Hi, > > Just a quick message to let everyone know that as of around a day ago > iOS7 is jailbreakable; it was released at very short notice and with a > healthy dose of drama as per usual. > I would suggest that people wait a few days before jailbreaking their > devices so we are able to gage the reliability of the jailbreak; this > has always been my recommendation for jailbreaks but it is more > important with this one than previous ones due to a potentially > incompatible version of Cydia.
