iPhone Tired of waiting for a new jailbreak

Same. It's the simple little visual tweaks that I miss the most too. More specifically night mode. iOS looks so much better in the dark...

Even just an icon change. There was one app I used that was crazy handy, the name escapes me right now. It would show when a person read my iMessage or was typing at the top of the screen where the time normally is on the home screen or even during using an app. Loved it. Crap I can't remember the name!
 
I didn't JB to change the look of anything. I simply did it to block all ads in apps and any browser. I also used iBlacklist to actually block calls unlike Apples call blocker which just sends the caller to voicemail.

TypeStatus 2.
 
Agree is does seem an age now since the last Jb. How long can I cope without having the middle finger emoji :D It does make you wonder how much money is in the jailbreak industry that it can go so long without a fresh break.
 
I bought my 6s the first week of Jan, and it came with IOS 9.1. I'm still kicking myself for updating it to 9.2 (and now 9.3) assuming that any new jailbreak would be for 9.2 and above. Oopsie! This is the first time since before OS 1.0.2 that I've been without a JB iPhone, and it's excruciating.
 
Been without a jailbreak for the past few months (free replacement due to a screen issue, and I wasn't lucky with the iOS that it came with). Before that, I was happily on 8.4 (jailbroken, of course) for several months. Being stock is painful -- to the point where I went out and got an Android to use for a few weeks (and I enjoyed it). iOS with a jailbreak is perfect IMO. The second a new jailbreak comes out (if ever), I'll probably be so happy to the point of tears :').

The last JB release was about two months ago.

Although correct, its not really valid, The last jailbreak was for an old version of IOS so unless you just so happened to be on an old un-jailbreakable firmware (9.1) you couldn't downgrade or upgrade to to it so the jailbreak was pretty useless really. Apple stopped signing 9.1 in December 2015.

The last proper jailbreak was October 14th 2015 (nearly 7 months ago)

That's sad, I don't know what these jailbreak devs are doing

TBO the 9.1 JB is pretty unstable it probably would have crashed by now anyway, not that it makes you feel any better.
 
I dunno about the 9.1 JB, but the 9.0.2 JB is pretty solid.

My phone will randomly power down about 1x per week. Still haven't identified the exact conditions...at one point, it seemed shaking the phone vigorously did it.

Even phones don't like to be shaken up that much :).

The 9.1 JB is pretty difficult for the JB teams to work on because its not like you can flash 9.1 then jailbreak it rinse and repeat because 9.1 isn't being signed. So really all you have is feedback and code.

Agree with 9.0.2, and 9.0 being stable. I rarely have a crash, and never a random shut down.

85% of the times it has shut down, I was using Safari. The rest are when the phone wasn't being used...only knew it was off after picking the phone up and pressing the button.
 
9.0.2 is so damn unstable it isn't even funny. My fiance's old 6S was jailbroken on it before she demolished the phone :( Now my SE is (obviously) on 9.3.1 and it's stable as can be. Hope one comes before iOS10 but if it doesn't it, at this point, I just check r/jailbreak once a day and then resume business as usual. I hate stock iOS but there are a few things I can do w/out a jailbreak that a lot of people don't know about.

All the legacy devices are still jailbroken along with one of the Air 2's.

My 6S+ was jailbroken on 9.0.2 but I got tired of the phone randomly rebooting. I would open an app and the phone would just reboot. I ended yo restoring to the current firmware which was 9.2 just to stop the reboots. The phone still reboots once in a while though. Not talking about resprings either.

My iPad Mini 2 and 6+ and 5S are on 9.0.2 and are jailbroken and have no reboots. The 6+ does randomly respring.

Interesting. I have a 6, 128gb, AT&T on 9.0.2, and no issues or reboots. Also, only about 10 or less tweaks. Do you think the model and configuration make a difference with jailbreaks? Or just the tweaks and apps?

I remember reading that a lot of people who JB their 6S or 6S+ were having trouble with resprings. My 6S+ never did that, it just did the random reboots. I'm sure you can dig up the thread here in this forum about the resprings.

Lately my stock 6S+ will reboot especially sometimes when I use Siri.
