iBooks crashing after JBM3

**sliberty** · 07-07-2011, 08:42 PM

I know i am not alone, but felt we needed a thread for this.

I JB using Jailbreakme 3 yesterday, and most things are working fine. But iBooks crashes whenever i open a book that has DRM. I have successfully opened a few books that do not have DRM.

Lets hear from others with this problem, and track until a fix appears.

There was an app in the Cydia store to fix this... something like iBooksFix...

That fix is old, and doesn't work in this situation.

Bump - am i the only one with this problem?

I'm seeing the same thing. What is 'action menu'? Thanks.

Action Menu is a tweak find in the Cydia store. Check your installed to see if action menu has been downloaded with another app.

I don't have Action Menu installed. Just for kicks, I installed it, and iBooks crashes immediately rather than when I open a downloaded book. After uninstalling it I am back to crashing after opening a book. A google search reveals that many other folks are having this same problem, seems to be something with comex's jailbreak. I also tried uninstalling PDF patcher 2 but that didn't make a difference.

I have an issue with paid ibooks I presume to be related to DRM checks and Jailbreak status.

Occasional chapters have "encoding errors" (notified in pink boxes) and the chapter is missing some text. Seems random; if I re-open the book sometimes I can pick up where the content was previously missing. I haven't notice the ibooks app actually crash yet, though.

iP4 32gb AT&T 4.3.3 Jailbreakme 3.0

Don't have action menu, but I'm pretty sure I noticed the issue with only SBSettings (and Activator) installed.

I've since installed AppSlide, Five Icon Dock, Five Icon Switcher, Five-Column Springboard, Icon Renamer, No Bookmarks, PDF Patcher 2, SpringFlash and SwitcherMod.
