What a great thread.

The info from Drawflex should be a sticky. It will stop lots of questions and will provide a good starter for new jailbreakers like myself.

if u upgrade itunes to the beta will it mess up all ur music and things if u restore bk to 4.3.3. ?

[drawflex]

upgrading itunes is seperate from upgrading the phone's IOS version... if you mean you wanna give IOS5 a go, take a backup of the phone first on 4.3.3, update itunes to the beta version that supports IOS5....... if/when you wanna go back to 4.3.3, restore backup... remove itunes beta, install official itunes release... doing this corrupted my itunes library on PC though and i had to start my whole library again, but was able to copy stuff on the phone back to PC from the 4.3.3 restore i did.

i have all the bk ups for the phone and itunes. it just a pain in the ass if i have to resort itunes ha just trying to read up to see if its worth trying it ?
what did u think of the beta ??

didnt really play that long with it... use phone for work as sat-nav and what not.. so without jailbreak it's no good to me, i missed my cracked apps too much.

Eager to get it once it starts to roll out though, but for me, it's more important to have a stable, useable, jailbroken iphone.. the update seems to consist of numerous small tweaks and subtle improvements, nothing groundbreakingly new really afaik.. nothing worth the hastle anyways... I couldnt stop myself checking it out though, i'm guessing you'll end up giving it a go ?

As for tweaks i use barrel from the xsellize repo. it makes your summerboard behave in an unusual manner when you scroll through the pages. It gets regular updates through cydia and some are really cool. check it out.

Five icon dock from cydia tweaks which lets you put five icons instead of four in your dock.

Icallanounce from xsellize repo again- This will verbally alert you to who is calling you or just sent a text message to you. It will alert you to the senders name and will even read out an entire text message.

3g unrestricter from the podulo repo- this will fool your device into thinking that a 3g signal is a wifi signal. Comes in handy for youtube gives a clearer picture over wifi, also some games that need to online but only over wifi.

I have checked barrel out, not a fan, don't like anything that changes the feel of the springboard too much, but will add it... i found infinidock the kiddie for adding to the dock... check it out.. very versatile.. will check-out the other 2 asap.. ta
