Hey Y'all - so last my phone fell out of my pocket and landed face down on the concrete shattering about 50% of my screen. I'm headed to the apple store this morning for a replacement screen. Since I am jailbroken, is there anything I need to do or be aware of? I've disabled all the visual tweaks and such but didn't know if they'll poke around in my phone. Just curious if anyone else has had any experience with getting their jailbroken screen replaced...

This question gets asked at least once a week. The best advice is to revert to stock iOS.

Run iLex RAT TO remove all tweaks, put cydia In a folder or hide it some how. That's what I would do if I had to go to a apple store.

Is this phone under warranty? Apple care?

I would take to a shop that has a good reputation and uses oem parts. That way I now I would keep my jailbreak.
