Anyone fed up with their jailbroken iOS device crashing?

My crashing seemed to be caused with the interaction between 5.1.1 and iBlacklist.

It seemed to be specifically related to the SMS and iMessages interaction with iBlacklist.

It has to be one of the tweaks you installed. I have always been jailbroken since the beginning of time and have never had any issues. My phone is stable and I have no random resprings.

Same here. No crashes at all on my iPad 2/3 and iPhone 3GS, all on 5.1.1.
 
Day 2 iPad report

As indicated above, the ipad3 is now free and I'm adding tweaks bit by bit.

So far, no random resprings or other issues with just cydia, infiniboard, inifinifolders, alwaysclose, and weecloseapps installed.

So far, so good. Will add sbsettings tomorrow and then run for another day or so before putting quasar back on. With hindsight, I should have probably installed that first as the suspect tweak, but we're along the road now...
 
yes. I ended up unjailbreaking because crashes were getting annoying.
the only things worthwhile were sbsSettings and BiteSMS and of course the fake clock up app to speed up animations(thats what i miss most tbh)
 
I think I can safely conclude that my experiences on the iPad & iPhone were due to "bad" apps, and totally unrelated ones, which are clearly not subject to the scrutiny of the AppStore.
 
No, what I meant was that apps which have been approved for inclusion in the AppStore don't crash and cause a respiring, whereas some of the Cydia apps do.

I guess the lesson learnt is to do a bit more research before installing Cydia apps.
 
Only few tweaks are bad.

After installing 200+ tweaks over a year, only 2 tweaks have given me a problem.
 
iBlacklist no longer causes the springboard crashes if I only have calls and SMS filtered.

I no longer filter FaceTime and iMessages, and that seems to have done the trick.

No crashes since July 23.
 
Quasar newest side effects...

Updated my wife's iPad with quasar disabled, but updated to Q1.3 and it constantly opened her email, etc. (also Pan DLDR).

Just updated mine last night, and mine began doing the same thing. I went into SBSettings and disabled the Quasar process and so far no constantly opening items. Anyone else with this issue? Believe it was the Q update.

When you jailbreak, it installs MySQL. Does that slow it down at all?

Are you absolutely sure about this? (No such app on my iPad 3 and I don't even know an iOS port of MySQL.) I think you've mistaken it for something else.

I forget when it says this, but I think it's when I install my first app from Cydia that it says "Installing MySQL" in the Debian Packager console.
 
Just JB my iPhone 4S 32GB this morning with 5.1.1 and I have to stay this has been far more stable then JB's I have used in the past, but then again I have only loaded, SB Settings Winterboard, and activator, generally all I use besides themes.

Having a grand old time changing my phone around, not sure I will ever go back to a Non JB phone again if this stays stable.


I am very Technical been in IT for 25 years, but I can see where someone who is not may have trouble, biggest thing is changing root password and mobile password for security.
 
Nope, not tired of crashing because mine never crashes! (OK, of course it's crashed once or twice, but then again, I've seen stock iOS devices crash a few times w/o being JB)

Yet another false post in this thread. I've had more than a few apps purchased directly from Apple's Appstore that would either not open or just freeze (on a non-JB phone) the entire phone, requiring a complete restart. At least when I crash on a JB phone, it only resprings rather than does the entire restart operation.
 
Sorry for the false information! What I should said was "in my experience....."

Yup, you're right - there's indeed a port.

Nevertheless, I've never seen it start consume any CPU time. (I very frequently CPU benchmark third-party apps on my jailbroken iDevices so I would have noticed any excess CPU usage by any JB process.)
