I will get jailbroken until I buy one more idevice. The one now in my hand, no way! Glad to see no jailbreak wins.
Yes at first (at 3.1.3), then no, not anymore. I realized that I liked my iPod Touch more when it was not jailbroken, so I un-jaibroke it.
I jailbroke not too long ago so i could tether on my unlimited data plan without shelling out an extra £10 a month for a pithy amount. It's also been useful for other things, like Syncronicity, so i can use my phone while it syncs, OpenNotifier, so any notifications leave an icon in the status bar and Untrackerd to periodically delete that file that was found to contain all location data for nearly a year.
i used to be, but I'm not anymore because most of the things i got from jailbreaking are already in the official OS now.
Jailbroken, mainly for SBsettings, winterboard and probably a whole lot of other features that I take for granted. On the gaming front, the PSX emulator is great, seeing as there aren't really any RPGs on the AppStore that match the quality of the PSX ones.
Used to be an avid jail breaker in the days of 1.1.4 stopped just before 4.0 as the stock OS has evolved to the point where I felt I didn't need the functionality of jail breaking anymore, even though it does still have it's benefits. So i voted no. However I couldn't jailbreak anyway as there is no current way for iPad 2, if there was I may consider it just because I haven't in so long.
Used to be when I had a 2nd gen iPod. I wore the shit out of that thing with all the JB work I did with it. I haven't even tried to with my 4th gen iPod. Thought about it a couple times, but nope.
I was up until the release of the 3GS. I've been clean since. Jailbreaking was awesome before the App Store. It was fun in the early days of the App Store and through earlier OS updates. Now there are precious few advantages to jailbreaking that are frankly not enough to have me go through all that hassle again. I don't want to bother with having to wait for a jailbreak for new iOS versions, having to back up and restore apps and settings manually and separately from official apps, etc. I also don't want other crap running in the background or have to deal with apps that can occasionally misbehave, fail to release RAM back to the system, or bloat the system. I may be missing some things that would be nice, but for me, staying "pure" is far less work and more preferable to jailbreaking these days.
i've been jailbroken ever since there was a jailbreak for my firmware SBSettings is probably the biggest reason although i hate it when people call you pirates, when i buy my apps i don't use winterboard, as it slows up my ipod too much, but multicleaner is amazing also, barrel slows it down, but its just way too cool to not use it i also use emulators once in a while, but those are usually just for pokemon and some RPG's synchronicity is pretty useful too. Intelliscreen is also amazing, wouldn't be able to live without it just my $0.02
I attempted to jailbreak with greenp0ison it seemed to go well but it complained about not being able to download something and then got stuck in an endless boot. So I cut my losses and restored I don't think I'll ever try it again it took a long time to copy my apps back I have about 250 on it. I like the idea of jailbreaking but unless there is ever a foolproof no fail way I won't be trying it.
i was in need of jailbroken. After my classmate failled and stuck on white apple icon. So i gave it up and decided to stay where it should be.
To everyone who says that they will never JB-- what are your reasons? It seems like there are a lot of misconceptions about what Jailbreaking does/can do...i know that when I first jailbroke my device, I was scared I would break it haha. Maybe I could answer any questions people have.
I used to have an iPhone 2g Jailbroken/Unlocked for T-Mobile. My iPad and iPod touch used to be jailbroken, but are now all stock, and I don't have the iPhone 2g anymore. I don't see the actual need for the jailbreak anymore. Not really anything I HAVE to have, that I don't have already.
1. Speed/battery life. I don't want any additional background apps hogging CPU time or battery life, and some of the only marginally good reasons to jailbreak involve this. 2. Stability. Jailbreak apps are not held to Apple's standards of functionality, and while App Store apps can also be buggy, they don't effect other apps. Jailbreak apps can, particularly background apps, which goes with point 1 above. My phone is stable and the battery life is fine right now, and I'd like to keep it that way. 3. Risk of loss. Many (most?) jailbreak apps cost money now through the Cydia Store. Once I pay for an app I am invested financially in jailbreaking and will need to keep doing so (see point 4) and go through the rigmarole of retaining them between jailbreaks (see point 5) in order to retain those jailbreak apps I've paid for. 4. Jailbreaking means waiting. I can't upgrade to the latest iOS version when it comes out until a jailbreak is available for it. Furthermore, Apple keeps plugging the holes the dev team use to break in, and if the dev team don't run out of holes, they can run into particularly difficult ones to find which means longer wait times. 5. Separate "sync" process. You can't sync jailbreak apps through iTunes, so you have to go through an entirely separate manual process to back up and restore your jailbreak stuff. I got tired of doing that ages ago. In short: I have enough to deal with. I don't need a bunch of extra baggage from jailbreaking for marginal benefits.
