Very nice. For me and a lot of people, the point of buying an apple device is to have it jailbroken.

I thought the point was for security(Or the illusion of), compatibility (locked ecosystem) and 'prestige' for those less tech inclined. Doesn't jail-breaking basically make all these moot? If you're going to jailbreak, might as well not even buy one!! :P

Not really. Out of all 3+ years of using jail broken devices, I haven't had a single security issue. People know not to use shady repos and even then, how many viruses do you see for iOS in general? I personally use an iPhone because at the time I started using iDevices, android was pretty bad. Also jail breaking isn't to complicated for the less technically inclined. Depends on the persons wants and needs I guess.

Did you OTA? Over the air updates tend to cause problems. I also had a similar issue on iOS 7.1.1, but everything seems to be fine after updating.

No I updated through Itunes

 

It only did it for 48 hours.. I did nothing to my phone it just sort of resolved itself, it gave me a good giggle though (untill I had to go and turn them all around)

Strange. If it ever happens again, I suggest you check it out with crash reporter. However, if it's anything like the issue I had on 7, your out of luck.

Well there is no issue now, everything is running fine, no complaints from me, might have just been a weird bug

 

I absolutely love my 6

Well, I might think about updating it then.

My Safari crashes constantly (iPad 4)

Never owned an iPad. Being a tablet, I don't think it's low memory or anything. I know Safari and camera crashes were an issue in ios 7.1.1, but that is all I could find out.

Cleaned up the original post and pushed an update from the official pangu team.

We are working with @saurik to make Cydia stable asap. Also we are fixing bugs include Safari and iMessage problems. Please wait ...

I'm currently running on the jailbreak, but I sti suggest normal users don't jailbreak just yet. Bugs are present. Things like boot loops and full deletion of stock apps can happen.

Not sure if anyone is still interested, but I pushed another update to the original post.

Some bug fixes from Saurik on Cydia.

Meh I still dont get the point, I am really enjoying iOS right now as it is

You need jailbreak to play PPSSPP.

I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...

Yes. I had an iP 3 GS which was suffering with all the mods i loaded up but in the end, the mods and personalizations would make it worth it to me. And apple hasn't managed to improve iOS to the point where i would consider it a good mobile OS.
