I am curious to know how many of you who have a jailbroken iPhone 4S 5.0/5.0.1 were also jailbroken with their iPhone 4 on 5.0?
In November, I sold my tethered iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0 on craigslist. I backed it up on iTunes and iCloud. The buyer wanted it with 4.3.3 and jailbroken. I set it up as a new iPhone 4 with 4.3.3 and jailbroke it. 4 hours later, I am at the Apple store with a brand new iPhone 4S. I restored from iCloud backup (which was iPhone 4 5.0) via wifi and was good to go. No issues.
2 weeks ago, I jailbroke successfully with Absinthe first release 30 minutes after it was public. I started adding back Cydia paid apps like Folderenhancer, infinidock, mywi, my3g. Strangely enough, Folderenhancer remembered how I had my folders setup previously with apps when I was jailbroken on my iPhone 4 at tethered 5.0. I attribute this to being when I bought my iPhone 4S, I restored from a backup of my iPhone 4 5.0 from iCloud. Somehow, the restore on my stock iPhone 4S brought over jailbreak filles from the Deneb filesystem.
My jailbroken iPhone 4S is working fine mostly except on a couple of issues I have isolated.. I get lockups and have to hard reset sometimes and that's because I might have added a tweak that is incompatible. When I remove the tweak and do a hard reset, I am fine. I have noticed that in SBSettings I get a hard lockup sometimes when I kill all the processes too fast and free up memory afterwards. If I do it slowly, it works better.
I am sensing that Apple will be releasing iOS 5.1 shortly because usually after a Mac OSX update more updates follow on their product line.
My question is this: should I restore as new iPhone with 5.0.1 firmware and re-jailbreak?
