Not a tweak/mod, but has anyone tested xbmc out yet??

Sure, I've tested it (the latest stable version, 12.2-0 from the official repo) on the iPhone 5. Works just fine, had no problems with the playback of any of my standard video tester lib.

I see a previous poster has listed killbackground as a working app.
So, I just JB's my iPhone 5S despite some misgivings. The JB worked without incident, and under Cydia, I installed the killbackground app. It installed without error messages, but there's no indicator anywhere that it was installed, and no apparent way to invoke it so I can at once kill all background apps.

So, aside from a working brain here, what am I missing? This is one of the few JB apps I really found useful.

Thanks!

To my understanding no tweaks on 5s work as mobile substrate hasn't been updated. I think the only working apps are on >5s
 
The only thing that works without a hitch on my iphone 5 is f.lux

I'm sure things will be ironed out as everyone calms down and gets passed the controversy...
After all, much of the apps worth having are PAID apps, so the upset devs will likely return and make some money.

The only reason I JB my iphone 4 is to change the carrier name...none of these apps work :mad: smh.

Lol! COME ON, man! Live a little and try some other stuff.
 
With mobile substrate not working I don't get a safe mode option on iP5. But I can tell that I'm in safe mode because my five row keyboard is gone from ikeywi. That's how I gauge whether a tweak has crashed my phone or not. Just saying, if your tweaks aren't showing up in settings.
 
Any status bar notifier working? Like open notifier or anything? Like having icons on status bar for texts, emails, etc. Thanks
 
Anyone have any knowledge if any of these work:

- xcon

- shrink (or any app that shrinks the size of icons)

- any of the apps that allow me to control how many rows\columns or apps\folders are on my home screen?

thanks!
 
Has anyone been able to get "Poof" working? It's listed as one of the working apps but it's not working for me. I was able to install it and see the icon on the homescreen but after I select the "Off" button to hide apps from the homescreen, nothing happens.

Is there any other application/tweak to hide or lock apps that currently works?
 
I had said winter board was working fine, but it randomly stopped working and every time I tried to install it locked the device in safe mode and I had to remove mobile substrate reboot and then install all of my tweaks over
 
I wouldn't be surprised if its an issue with your mobile substrate :) I have probably had to install that dang thin a million times.

It seems to be working now. Is it a big deal for the programmer(s) to update the mobile substrate, on which so many JB apps depend?
