Jailbreaking a dying trend? - 2

The Doctor · 01-03-2013

I don't like pirating. It's illegal first of all, and the developers who take time to make the app don't get a profit from those who pirate. By the way, go Android!

The reason I use jailbreak is for iFile and SBSettings. That's it. I can make a quick site in iFile using HTML

After I get my Note II, I might sell my iPad...over half the apps on it are pirated lol.
Plus I don't like the idea of having apps on iTunes AND Google Play and them not being compatible between devices.

was never really a "trend", it's there for practical reasons. the demand for it may vary but that's different.

To me it seemed more popular a couple years ago when geohot was in the spotlight.

i think that some of the functionality you got from jailbreaking has been slowly getting added to the default iOS. for example (i didnt own an iphone before 2010 so i wouldnt know) internet tethering was a jailbreak thing that trickled down into standard iOS features from iPhone 4 and onwards.

The only thing I find myself not being able to do on android that I did on a jailbroken iDevice is screencast. I have to root my android phone to use a screencaster and since it's a phone I don't wanna void the warranty DX

Yup,Installous was shut down..*5 Minutes later* Downloads Appvv(vShare) and It's better than Installous.

I will probably update my iPod 4 to iOS 6, now when Installous isn't working anymore. Our family iPad 2 is getting updated, so I don't mind doing it too.

Pretty sure the warranty is un-void if you restore your device. That is if you can use your device. Plus, the warranty only lasts a year. I usually jailbreak near winter, since I got my device in Christmas.

Oh, and since iFunbox has arrived, I don't really see the point in
jailbreaking.
Actually, there's themes, general customisation I couldn't do before, free DLC and apps, and free WiFi.
MyWi never worked for me, strange.

True for everyone but EA. They don't get my money.
