Back in business. Got game pass working. Had to delete it from iTunes and reinstall it. Don't know why but it works now

I don't mean to troll or any disrespect but it really seems like the tweaks, mods, on rooted androids are a lot more useful..Can someone give me some apps that shows what makes a jail broken iPad,iPhone worthwhile more than just using cracked apps.

I pressed cydia and it keeps starting over?? Why?

my favourite apps are Activator and Springtomize

Activator allows me to have any physical action do almost anything on the phone, for instance, holding the volume up button skips the song, and volume down is set to pause/play. my thumbs unlock my 5S (typical fingerprint scanner abillity) but the ring finger on my right hand locks it and so does swiping along the bottom of the screen. right index finger launches Chrome, triple pressing the home button brings up the Music app etc etc

Springtomize is purely cosmetic. custom lock screen, custom phone lock animation (it looks like when you turn an old tv off), page swipe animation, 5 icons in the dock instead of 4. nothing mind blowing but those two and a few others are all I really needed to make it perfect for me

How long do these typically work?

You should change your quote. You got everything in there.

This is the true order of things:

Jailbroken iPhone > rooted Android > stock Android > stock iPhone

Understand the nature of it. Android is an open platform. As such, developers lock individual apps down. So you can root and do all kinda shyt but you can't really fukk with individual apps like that. Meanwhile, iOS is locked down from the OS side so developers feel protected. So if you jailbreak it's like a free for all. You can change anything in the UI like android plus anything within individual apps. That's why we're watching NFL and NBA in HD for free while there is no way to do that on Android. Android won't even let you make an in app purchase for those services because the developers are expecting fukkery. That alone separates the 2.

As far as what I'm doing with my phone, man, I don't even have time to explain. I have about 100 tweaks running. I altered literally every single aspect of my phone. Nothing functions as it used to.

Instead of asking what a jailbreak can do, you need to ask what you want then just do it because you can really do whatever you want.

The jailbreak isn't limited, only your imagination.

I want to be able to look at sports on my ipad and basically have it be the ultimate internet browser where i can download videos to it and even music to send to the cloud or whichever storage media im using...my ipad is basically what i use at home on the couch. I just want increased functionality.

Yup you can do all that.

Google whatever you're trying to do and add "site:reddit.com/r/jailbreak" minus the quotes to the end.

i mostly use it to customize the OS.Some of these tweaks like TinyBar really shouldve been built into the OS

apps im using are

AppCake(get any app for free)
IAPCrazy and LocaliAPStore(get free in app purchases)
Flex 2(used this to get free League Pass,Sunday Ticket,and UFC PPVs.Also got BBC iPlayer which doesnt work outside the UK without the hack)
iFile

I use chromecast to stream it to my tv(NBA Game time)

I work every Sunday so I usually watch the nfl games on my phone at work.Im not even sure if chromecast works withthe nfl app cause I haven't tried it yet but i know for a fact airplay works so if you have a apple tv box or xbmc installed on your pc you can stream it that way

The UFC and BBC apps also work with chromecast

iFile lets you access file system, use iphone as web server. Also, you can link it with your dropbox and send files between the two I believe.
Safari/chrome downloader + lets u download from web browser straight to phone (videos from youtube, links in the booth etc)
Flex 2 lets you hack ABC TV, NBC TV, ESPN APP, NFL GAME PASS, NBA GAME PASS, for sports and tv.
