General question about Sky Go.

[TGWSx]

I've just had Sky installed in my house, Paid for the Sky Go Extra, So I can have it on a few of my iDevices to then find out that 'Streaming is not available on Jailbroken Devices!'

Greeaaaaaaaat.

Tried and googled alot and found the 'xCon' app.
Tried that, Don't work, I think SkyGo had a update.

Is there anything in the works for it to be able to patch Sky Go? Or is there already one in Cydia that does this?

Regards.

When you want to use sky go change the name of cydia.app.
Just make sure you change it back before you install anything

 

[TGWSx]

How do you do that?

Could you give me a link to instructions or kind enough to explain.

Using ifile or ifunbox, highly recommend ifile as it is on your iDevice, so you can do it on the fly, whenever you want.
Navigate to applications folder and rename cydia.app
Name it like xcydia.appx
So when you want to change it back just delete the "x's"

Okay thanks.

But why would Changing the Cydia app's name make SkyGo work?

 

[3cit]

App reads apps on device. If cydia is present, device is jailbroken
Pics below for assistance


Blue arrow will enter Edit / rename mode

Thanks.

When I go into Applications.

It has apps names and everything as such

'E30B483BEE3B'

Doesn't actually have the app name..

 

[TGWSx]

Okay, Changed the setting's so I can see the app names, But Cydia isn't there.

Any help?

/Applications

Look for it there.

 

[3cit]

Yeah what idonev said.. Easy ways to get there, open ifile, then keep hitting back button in top left until you are at \ page (root)
The applications, then change cydia.app you can see the file location in my first image at the very top near status bar

I use XCON.

 

[TGWSx]

Tried changing the name, Didn't work.

xCon dont work with the updated SkyGo application.

Weird it's worked with everything else thrown at it?

Try rebooting the phone after you rename Cydia. See if that helps...
