any news on the release date?

Nothing :mad:

He's been rather quiet on twitter over the past few days considering the 'hype train' that was started a couple of weeks ago now. Hopefully something hasn't gone massively wrong and he's still planning to release this week :(

I'm leaning toward something gone wrong. I like how some developers provide away to use it while perfecting it.

NinType keyboard, BiteSMS & IntelliscreenX. I would rather for the developer to add a repo and provide some sort of payment platform. A tweak like this is going to be buggy for sure.

I'll pay to be a beta tester for such a tweak, I paid for NinType just on the fact of how impressive it was. And ProWidgets was buggy in the beginning. All these tweaks is going to come out rough, theirs too many tweaks for it to interact with.

Agreed. He should release it if it "only" has some bugs, say, in the auto-splitscreen-maximization or multiple desktop code. I'd gladly use a plain Quasar reimplementation without these additional goodies.

He does have people testing it, I know at least @coolstarorg has tried it, and @drscjmm is testing it. I'm sure there are more. When asked about conflicts with other tweaks he said he isn't even going to start thinking about support for that sort of thing until after release - so yeah I'm sure its going to be buggy but I don't think its delaying a release. Jeff from iDownloadblog tried it, he didn't seem that interested in it, but I think he might have said if it was ridiculously buggy - though I got the impression he hadn't used it much from his lack of demonstration of all the features lol.

The dev did say that it depended on school work and it would be in the next week or two, which technically would be this week...so could still happen yet :)

Hopefully he gives an update on the status soon, he has not disappeared just hasn't mentioned how the tweak is going in the last few days.

Update: He tweeted yesterday saying
"Go ask @xxxxxxxx why it's not released yet."

The person's twitter account he's referring to has status updates (and links) to pirated tweaks, so I presume he is trying to finalize/fix bugs with the DRM/protection rather than issues/bugs with the tweak itself.

Yes, I've seen that as well.

That seems like good news, I know I plan on paying for it when it's launched. All he needs to do is contact Intelliborn, with MyWi & IntelliscreenX are both solid in terms of not bring cracked.

And I'm sure he might want to implement a trial since it's not the typical $2-5 price range for tweaks. So, hopefully he can set up a solid protection for the tweak.
 
Thank you all for your patience. I have been extremely busy with ECA prep. Working on OSE as much as I possibly can!

I have a feeling it won't be out this week :(
 
Dude is getting his education, not gonna be mad at him for giving that his priority. I can be patient. :)

My thoughts exactly. Well, at least it is known that the progress of the tweak is put on hold.

So, it's not really about the DRM issue.. its more toward getting his school work done. Which it's been tossed around what's causing the hold up. At this point, it's uncertain when it will be released.

But, I wish he him well on his school work.
 
IMO he'd be better off delaying until he's got a break from school. No point releasing something like this without time to spare on support. Pretty much guaranteed to be issues with a tweak like this at launch - especially with other tweak conflicts.
 
Latest from twitter:

On OSE: currently have a bug with 32-bit devices. Working faster than humanly possible.

Let me rephrase that. It's not just a bug. The dylib literally will not load. At all. And I have absolutely no idea why.
 
Ditch 32-bit iPads. Release it for 64-bit ones now and fix the 32-bit bug later.

Haha my thoughts exactly :D

Seems like someone helped him out though...maybe...

Michael Zhang ‏@Malvix_ 2h
@e_swick what did I tell you

Evan Swick ‏@e_swick 2h
@Malvix_ oh yeaaaaahh I forgot about that! iMessage. Nao.

Wonder what that means for release.
 
@e_swick
On OS Experience; it's beta time!
To enter: Follow me, retweet this tweet, and reply with device(s) and version. I will DM chosen testers!

So who is gonna try and beta test it then :eek:

Seems like its ios 7 only at the moment.

CoolStar
@e_swick has the iOS 6 version been updated yet?

@coolstarorg It's not my main priority at the moment, sorry :p
 
Let us know if he dms you :D

He's just lost his JB on his iPhone - the worst thing that can happen to a JB dev. Last time I lost my JB on my iPhone5 (it was exchanged by Apple because of the infamous iPhone5 battery problem bricking my first-batch iPhone5) I stuck for almost half a year without any chance to work on my Call recorder muter / configurer app.

(Incidentally, this is why I try to develop / test my own tweaks on genuinely re-JB-able models whenever possible. Too bad it's sometimes impossible; for example, with the iPad + iOS7 combo, where the iPhone4 cannot be used for development.)

BTW, he has just announced the price for the app: $10. Hope it'll be tied to the Cydia login and not the UUID of the device (making it possible to install it on my several iPads), unlike some other, high-profile tweaks.

It should be tied to cydia as he said you could install it on your iphone as it works but he wouldn't provide support. I don't think he'd expect people to pay another $10 for that, but I guess we won't know lol.


The possible loss of JB on his iphone is worrying. He was actually using his iphone to test 32 bit version of the tweak.....so either the tweak has the potential to do this or he screwed up badly when attempting to fix a bug. It doesn't really encourage me to want beta test anymore if there is the chance of losing the jailbreak lol!

I would like to know whether this changes any systems files and if so how many - isn't that the main reason people end up having to restore? - tweaks that mess with system files.
 
Phase anyone here gotten DMs from him yet? I haven't gotten anything :(

Pretty sure he hasn't sent any. He said he would last night after fixing bugs, then he lost the jailbreak on his phone, which may or may not be related to OS E, probably not. Eitherway he is at school now but hopefully he will send some out tonight.
 
He just announced on his twitter that the release date is Tudesay, May 6th :)
