Did you ditch your JB for iOS7? What do you miss, if anything?

[talkin73]

I have an iP5 on 6.1.2 with JB and really like things like CallBar, SBS, BiteSMS, LockInfo, AnyAttach and others. I know iOS7 sorta offers a handful of these features (or some version thereof) but I'm not convinced yet. Wondering if anyone had a JB with lots of the usual Cydia apps, ditched it for iOS7 and is feeling the love (or hate) since permanently giving up your JB???

I ditched my JB on my iPad mini to test the waters of the new iOS before upgrading my iPhone 4. Although having a jailbroken iPad was never a big deal to me, unlike my phone, I miss the ability to force close all apps with Auxo, infinidock, customization of icon layouts, and small tweaks like swipe selection. There are a few things I don't like about iOS 7: Podcasts are no longer in the music app, airdrop is only between iOS devices, and iBooks was not redesigned, making it look out of place.

Oh, yeah...iFile and VLC

I can definitely see missing BiteSMS. Of all the JB stuff they "borrowed" for iOS7, I am still confused why this seemingly wildly popular feature was omitted. Very disappointing.

Yeah, I forgot about that Auxo feature, but it is my default method of fixing things when the device gets wonky I thought Podcasts was a separate app in iOS6?

I got rid of my jailbreak on my 4S (6.1.1) & 5th gen iPod touch (6.1) for iOS 7. I do miss forecast, sbsettings, cyueue, ifile, and fast blurred notification center though

Permanently? That's just a tad pessimistic isn't it?

Not sure. I was on 6.1, so it may have changed sometime during the later iterations. All I know is that before upgrading to iOS 7 on my iPad mini, I listened to podcasts through the music app, and now I'm using Apple's podcast app. And boy what an ugly icon.

I miss BiteSMS, Zephyr and some Auxo features, like the ability to close multiple apps at once. I also miss the ability to lose OEM apps using SBSettings. I also miss some of the stuff on IntelliscreenX, though the ios7 notification screen is pretty good .

I miss Timestamp. It put the date & time on any photo you took. TBH, that's all!

I miss nothing. Also will the JB be safe if you have 5S with Finger ID enabled?

people still.. jailbreak?

 

[jaywill27]

I really don't miss my jaibreak at all! Bite SMS so when I got iMessage on lock screen swipe and that's my quick reply!

There are a couple of thing they were nice but now is just a good iOS that Apple made before the next jailbreak is out we see

 

[Lenerdosy]

Haven't upgraded yet. Few features I really like alot on my device.

 

[talkin73]

Thanks for all the replies. I was a bit surprised by all the positive response from those who relinquished their JB. Perhaps all the additions that Apple added, which mirror some of the more popular JB tweaks, are finally getting iOS to a place where jailbreaking isn't as necessary. I'm still gonna hold out awhile because I have a very stable JB with iP5 and iOS 6.1.2 right now and just not feeling the itch to upgrade at present. I think BiteSMS will be a huge loss if I gave up the JB, which seems to be the most common one mentioned by others as well :-( Much appreciate all the feedback.

Updated yesterday and am loving iOS 7. I do miss BiteSMS but most of all I miss SwipeSelection. Still, no regrets!

I will not ditch my Jailbreak for iOS 7, mainly cause I don't like it but watcha gonna do about it :shrug: , don't get me wrong those features are really cool and all but the icons feel too childish to me as we'll as the interface, it reminds me too much about android and it makes me feel like they ripped it off, but that's just my opinion, it wasn't meant to influence anyone.

I actually felt much like this until I actually used iOS 7 on my wife's phone and my iPad Mini--it looks and feels very different when it's in your hand, for what that's worth. But to each their own!

I don't miss anything.

Bite SMS?
Never understood why people make a fuss over it, maybe because I don't do a lot of messaging.

I had a really good iOS 7 theme which I obviously don't need any more.

Quick Toggles?
Notification Center has everything I access most frequently except for location services.
(Used everyday for my traffic app). For that, I was using...

Activator.
Now I get Siri to open it while I'm driving. It's not as fast as a 3 finger pinch, but I can live with it.
