Following the update of MobileSubstrate, Saurik has updated today Substrate Safe Mode

substrate-safe-mode-FSMdotCOM

Following the update of MobileSubstrate, Saurik has updated today Substrate Safe Mode. The update makes the MobileSubstrate feature even safer on new iOS and iPhone 5s, iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina display.

For those unfamiliar with the package, Safe Mode is a feature of MobileSubstrate that prevents your device from entering a permanent crash cycle by giving you a chance to uninstall malfunctioning extensions without a complete device restore.

Update is highly recommended.

iOSOpenDev Available For Download. Use Xcode To Develop Cydia Packages

The iOSOpenDev project has arrived. iOSOpenDev comes with Xcode templates for creating common types of jailbreak tweaks, including Activator listeners, command line tools, dynamic libraries, Notification Center widgets, SBSettings toggles, Siri AssistantExtensions and Mobile Substrate tweaks. It will even build .deb files of the completed projects for when a developer wants to submit to Cydia for publication.

The only problem is that this first release is still in alpha stage, and ( even the dev says so ) expect a lot of bugs. We can’t even install it. ( Sometimes you need to restart your Mac and everything will work just right ) Still, this is a great project which will allow ( mostly ) newbie devs to materialize great ideas ( hopefully ). Use it wisely…

For more info and download links to iOSOpenDev check out the official website

NOTE:

  • May need to manually install MacPorts – we already had MacPorts installed, still failed.
  • if headers are being dumped than that’ll add 5-10 minutes to the installer.
  • if install fails, run `port selfupdate` then `port -f install dpkg` in Terminal then try again. looks like MacPorts is the problem for most
  • Follow iOSOpenDev on twitter for troubleshooting

iPhone DevTeam Updates redsn0w To v0.9.10b3 To Fix MobileSubstrate Issues


iPhone DevTeam’s b3 version of redsn0w fixes a problem where re-running redsn0w over an existing jailbreak would cause MobileSubstrate-based apps to stop running until MS was installed again.  Now you can re-run the redsn0w jailbreak step without worrying about that (but still remember to de-select the “Install Cydia” option if it’s already installed).  If this is your first time usingredsn0w, check out this tutorial

TIP: If auto-detection fails and redsn0w tells you no identifying data was found, you can always pre-select theappropriate 5.0.1 IPSW using “Extras->Select IPSW”.

Here are the redsn0w download links:
