When you are going to be out and about for an entire day, do you worry that you will exhaust your iPhone's battery before you can get directions home? Even though the iPhone 6 is estimated to last about 10 or 11 hours with straight internet usage, we regularly drop to 20 percent while still trying to get video of the kids playing.
Trianium's Atomic S case for iPhone 6 has a 3100mAh battery that will double the life of your iPhone so you don't have to worry about running out of juice.
In a previous post, I lamented about the fact that I received a dreaded virtual machine error when trying to run the TaiG jailbreak tool on VMware Fusion 7. The error went something like this: Sorry, this application cannot run under a Virtual Machine.
Not only is that totally ambiguous, but it really didn't make much sense when you consider that the prior TaiG tool ran with no problems. After trying a few solutions I found via Google, I resigned myself to the fact that I would probably just have to settle and use the old tool instead..
Fortunately, however, one of our awesome readers has come though with a fix. Mohamed Elkady shared this interesting little trick to help bypass a frustrating error. In this post and video, I'll walk you through the entire process step-by-step.
TaiG has commented on the "leaks" of its TaiG jailbreak tool and the untether debian package that has spread like wildfire on the Internet this evening. Earlier today, it was discovered by a reddit users that TaiG had uploaded new versions of its tool to the official TaiG server. In fact, the naming convention, which follows a naming standard, made it extremely easy to guess the exact location of the file.
On Chinese microblogging site Weibo, TaiG is advising against using these leaked files, as they are only for testing, and not official versions. It states that only the initial 2.0.0 version was an official release.
Users were understandably anxious to get their hands on these updated versions due to the fact that they packed in the much anticipated Cydia Substrate fixes. These fixes were necessary for users to be able to enjoy the many jailbreak tweaks that rely on this framework.
It's been a crazy last couple of days, but it's also been very exciting. It all started when the jailbreak for iOS 8.3 came unexpectedly on Tuesday morning, and it culminates with the release of a Cydia Substrate compatible update this evening. No doubt, there's still much more to come, but now we'd like to take the time to wrap up the ongoings of the last two days.
In this post, we'll tell you everything you need to know about the iOS 8.3 jailbreak, and what you might expect in the future.
I think it's safe to say that it's been a whirlwind the last few days. TaiG isn't showing any signs of slowing down, as they've now made yet another update to their jailbreak tool available online. This update, dubbed TaiG 2.1.1 comes mere hours after the 2.1.0 update—a release that aimed to fix the Cydia Substrate issues—was discovered.
As far as what's included in TaiG 2.1.1, my guess is bug fixes. Judging by the minor release version, there's likely some minor fixes that were important enough to warrant an update.
At any rate, it's always best to use the latest and greatest when it comes to jailbreak tools, so if you've yet to jailbreak, you might as well use TaiG 2.1.1 to do so.
Now that Cydia Substrate is available, users can now enjoy the many jailbreak tweaks and apps available on Cydia. Given the timing of this iOS 8.3 release, we're interested to know what our readers think about the jailbreak overall.
Are you jailbroken? Do you plan on doing so soon? Or are you holding off altogether? Sound off in our poll, and check to see where you stand with regard to other jailbreakers.
If you're jailbroken on iOS 8.3, you've likely been frustrated by the lack of Cydia Substrate support up until now. As you're no doubt aware of by now, Cydia Substrate hasn't worked on iOS 8.3 due to a fix that needs to be implemented by the folks at TaiG.
The good news is that the fix is out, and I've confirmed that it works. If you've jailbroken your device with the TaiG 2.0 tool yesterday or earlier today, you can use a simple .deb file install to fix Cydia Substrate in just a few minutes.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to install the TaiG 8.3 Untether .deb on your jailbroken iOS 8.3 device and fix Cydia Substrate.
It looks like several reddit users have unearthed the next version of the TaiG jailbreak for iOS 8.3. Several users have posted screenshots of the tool, which is said to fix the Cydia Substrate issues, iTunes issues, etc.
I've tested the untether myself, and I can confirm that it works. Cydia Substrate now works, and jailbreak tweaks that are compatible with iOS 8.3 now work.
Hot on the heels of the 1.1.17 release of Cydia Installer comes yet another update. This version, aptly dubbed 1.1.18, is another bug fix.
Saurik states that this bug fix is the result of another "proactive" fix for iOS 8.3 and the just released Cydia Installer 1.1.17. To download this update, simply launch Cydia and refresh. You should be automatically prompted to install the update.
Our friends over at r/jailbreak have compiled a list of compatible jailbreak tweaks for iOS 8.3. Unsurprsingly, most of the tweaks on the list have problems or don't work at all. This is due to the fact that a fix needs to be implemented by the TaiG team to ensure Cydia Substrate compatibility.
Even still, there are a few jailbreak apps that don't rely on Cydia Substrate, and thus work. Once Cydia Substrate compatibility is restored, this list will likely change rapidly as developers lend attention to their tweaks and apps.
Fans of the automation service If This Then That (or IFTTT) will be happy to hear that it's updated its line of mobile apps today. DO Button, DO Camera, and DO Note all received 2.0 updates today, as did the original IF app that now sits at version 2.5.
With the new releases, the apps all now support unlimited Do recipes and feature improved Notification Center widgets. DO Camera in particular received some nice additions such as new filters and the ability to draw on, and add emoji to, your photos.
One of the great things about having a jailbroken device is that you can browse the native root file structure directly from your computer. This is done via tools like iFunbox and iExplore.
The only catch is that you need a special package installed on your jailbroken device before you're given access to the filesystem. This package, Apple File Conduit, better known as AFC2, allows you to do just that.
The TaiG jailbreak for iOS 8.3 doesn't automatically add AFC2 support to your jailbroken device, but it's easy to add it after your jailbreak. Just follow this simple tutorial, and you'll be browsing your root filesystem on your Mac or PC in no time.
