How about official Cydia?
- ihuman 13y ago
  From what I've read, you can update the Cydia to a newer, official version from within itself.

    Sounds great.

  Cydia has been updated with a iOS 7 look. But it doesn't support iPhone 5s yet! Hope @saurik is working on that.

    Cydia works on 64bit iPhones, just none of the packages do. The main package this is dependant on is Substrate, but I'm hardly going to blame saurik for taking a christmas break.

      Yes, that's what I was meant :)

It's extremely stupid and disappointing that this jailbreak was released before iOS 7.1.
- grugq 13y ago
  the bugs were being patched in 7.1. they had to release.
  - nwh 13y ago
    The jailbreak works in 7.1b2 though, isn't that indicative of them not being patched? Leaks aside geohot planned to burn these exploits on the release day of 7.1 by the looks of things (he just registered the domain for the new jailbreak the day before evasi0n7).
    - grugq 13y ago
      there is a lot of inside story that isn't public. Suffice to say, the bugs were DOA.
      - nwh 13y ago
        That's disappointing. I'm surprised they didn't pull the WWDC.app if they knew about it though.
  - lawnchair_larry 13y ago
    They said it was because they feared someone was going to burn the bugs, not because they were patched in 7.1.

  It's extremely sad that people buy into this crap.

The whole thing is disappointing all around. It was clear just from the outset that the TiaG application was intended for piracy, there's absolutely no reason for it to be included. For the reasons stated (Cydia is not in Chinese) they could have just offered patches with new translations. If people found the relationship between TiaG and kuaiyong (another piracy store) in a matter of minutes, I'm not sure why the evad3rs didn't. Now ultimately their jailbreak is being used for piracy by a company who paid not a dime for the exploit kit. I'd have been happier to see them take the money and donate the lump sum to EFF for similar.

  Yes. That's a good idea.
- songco 13y ago
  Another problem for Cydia in China is it's server may blocked by the Great Firewall of China built by the gov. In IOS6, sometime I must use vpn to make Cydia proper functioning. Of cause, this is another story.

So, no explanation as to the motivation or reciprocation for including Taig in the first place. Stinks.
