I can't decide if I want to upgrade to b3 (now that we know b3 is likely the final version of the jailbreak and in my opinion the final jailbreak til iOS 8) - so I have a tweak question.

I know the pros and cons of each iOS, just wondering about tweaks.

Does groovylock work on the betas? And message customizer?

Thanks!
 
From someone (developer) who has been jailbroken on each of the betas in all honesty, having converted back to 7.0.4 on my primary iPhone (5C), I can tell you there truly isn't enough benefit to risking a jailbroken beta.

Just enough of the good stuff doesn't work well so as to make it worth it.
YES- the betas are increasingly better than 7.0.4 (but day to day? Not the end all).

Still, for a secure, safe jailbreak- one that we could lose any day now with 7.0.5, I don't see the risk/reward being worth it if you're 'stuck' on a beta and the jailbreak tweaks steam right on by, leaving the betas in their wake.

Just my opinion, but one that again, has used the betas and am able to come up with sound judgement after having done so.

So far every tweak I have tried on b3 that I want works. I have no complaints. I don't think the majority of jailbreak tweaks will stream right on by, some will, like the iconsupporting ones though. I kinda still wish I stayed on 6.1.4, but we can't have everything we want.

EDIT: I'm actually going back to 7.0.4 while it's still being signed. I really don't trust the messages - it seems buggy. Sometimes the imessages randomly don't send the first time and I had a friend tell me they sent me something but I never got it... That's enough to make me get off this while I can lol
