Are all the claims for a 5.1 jailbreak rubbish

Indeed! It's only a matter of time before more people take the stance of i0n1c

It's a shame really, people do nice things for others and there is always some people taking a lend! Very cheeky indeed.

Is it worth doing? Never been interested but curious now. What can you do which is so great say on a iPad? Don't want to be forever messing with it like on android devices

To be honest with you, people do it to open the device up for development. A lot of people do it so they can get paid applications for free too.

It's up to the users if they wish to go ahead with it but theres pros and cons to both jail breaking and leaving it non jailbroken.

I don't believe this is the case at all.

I would say in place of what you said.

A lot of people jailbreak so they can install Cydia tweaks and customise the look of the phone.

Getting paid applications isn't something endorsed by Cydia even though a 3rd party source is how you obtain it. Cydia doesn't promote ripping off paid applications.

Cydia doesn't promote it obviuously, but everyone I know (teenagers) who knows about jailbreaking only does because of the free applications. Shame, this is why it has a bad name around it.

My latest tweak disables access to 'Photos' from the camera app, the button is just disabled. Something so simple but nice for me.

Sorry, I never meant to come across like that. I know what you mean though. I never mentioned cydia though.

No I wasn't having a go I just really don't think the majority do it for free apps.

To let people know it's coming? It does work a lot of people up and causes a stir online when info gets released.

5.1 won't work as far as I remember for A5 devices and needs to be 5.1.1 so yes.

happy_2008 · 23 May 2012 at 10:30
