At WWDC, IOS5 was announced. I really thought this would go without saying, and it probably does for most of you. But do not install IOS5 beta unless you are a developer actually developing on it. It might seem fun, but really there’s nothing there you can’t get today from IOS4 jailbroken. Since IOS5 is not out until September (months away), no developers are releasing updates to support it right now. Almost everything is broken on it. Yes, you can jailbreak it tethered, but is also only for developers to start fixing things. All these beta firmwares expire which means you will have to update every couple weeks. In short, this is not meant for the public and no one should be running it.
I know SBSettings is broken on IOS5. Yes, I already have had ideas about using the notification area for IOS5 SBSettings. Therefore, all emails regarding SBSettings on IOS5 will just be ignored and deleted.

“Almost everything is broken on it”
I unjailbroke my iPhone 4, I have 115 apps on it currently, a grand total of 2 crash on open and some buttons are skewed on 3-4 others.
I have 6 others on my Dev account and we all agree that this is the most stable initial ios build that Apple has ever released.
June 12th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
Absolute garbage. Very few issues with the beta build for me.
June 12th, 2011 at 8:06 pm
I agree, there is no big issues with iOS 5. I was on 4.3.2, jailbroken and my phone was just acting weird sometimes and getting slower and slower with every week lately. So I decided to unjailbreak and jump straight to iOS5 and I’m sooo happy for doing that. Everything works awesome and the only 2 problems I discovered is that AIR VIDEO doesn’t work (there is update submited to apple) and pocket weather crashes. That’s it. No other issues.
June 12th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
Everything works perfectly for me.
June 12th, 2011 at 8:29 pm
This is a bullshit way to skate out of updating your stuff. I’m tethered on iOS 5 so I can help friends make sure their tweaks and themes work. Honestly, there’s no need for you to put SBSettings in the Notification Area. Someone has already done that with UISettings. He updated that just days after iOS 5 hit the “streets” and it works perfectly. I’m sure this would be deleted if I put his repo on here, but you can look-up @qwertyoruiop on twitter and get his repo info there.
June 13th, 2011 at 7:08 pm
Guys it may be working without an issue for most people but wait for the official untethered jailbreak because I don’t know anyone who likes a tethered jailbreak I know I don’t. Patience everyone. I agree this iOS looks awesome I know I cant wait.
June 13th, 2011 at 8:31 pm
Fail.
June 13th, 2011 at 9:55 pm
Stunning some of the responses on here.
Any way of uninstalling SBSettings with the 1/4 screen?
Beta is beta but I’d rather not restore if there is an alternative!
June 13th, 2011 at 10:34 pm
I have been running ios 5 on my main phone since day one, some odd little things that need to be fixed and a couple of apps need to be corrected but it runs really stable for being a beta. I tried to do the non-dev work around and that was garbage so I bit the bullet and bought a dev account and all is good. I have a few dev spots left to register a phone if anyone is interested, $8 iosdevaccess at gmail dot com
June 14th, 2011 at 1:17 am
Am i missing something here? When i plug into iTunes, all i get is a prompt to update to 4.3.3 – To which im holding back on due to there being no need to do so.
June 14th, 2011 at 4:24 am
I am using iOS 5.0 beta1 on my iPhone 4 for days, and jailbreak it using Redsn0w 0.9.8b1. Testing some tweaks such as UIsettings, Five icon dock, iFile, iSHSHit etc. Pretty good to me. For my iPad1, after testing it using iOS 5, now restore back to 4.3.3, as I need to install DisplayOut for presentation and teaching purposes. Now testing PhoneItiPad on the iPad1 using iOS 4.3.3, enjoying phone, sms, facetime, SIM apps etc. I have a developer account.
June 14th, 2011 at 5:23 pm
Worst article ever. You are posting information that you have no idea about.
I updated to iOS5 and it’s perfectly stable for everyday use.
June 14th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
If you are trying to update to iOS5 you have to be on itunes 10.5 beta and then download the iOS5 update. If you’re on a PC hold down shift and click on restore – navigate to the update and open it. Then wait and let itunes to it’s thing.
June 16th, 2011 at 11:39 am
agreed
June 16th, 2011 at 5:24 pm
Put it on Safe mode. It works!!
June 16th, 2011 at 5:25 pm
In safe mode go to cydia and delete sbsettings package
June 16th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
The author really has no idea what he’s talking about. If you want to try it, feel free to install. It works great!
June 17th, 2011 at 5:58 pm
You best listen to BigBoss… Ok fine things work with iOS 5 but honestly they don’t have to for months. So anything that doesn’t work don’t bitch to the Devs. And you best hope BigBoss does update SBSettings since I can almost guarantee qwertyoruiop will charge you for UISettings when iOS 5 comes out if you pay attention to his twitter he hits to it all the time. BigBoss is one of the few that gets it in that people aren’t going to pay for tweaks like SBSettings. I greatly respect BigBoss and all his hard work. If he wants to wait he can wait.
June 18th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Haha, What a joke…. actually its uisettings isn’t all that great, I’m sure some other dev. will make a far better program to tie into the notifications bar. Anyway, feel free to take the plunge if you dare… because apple is still signing 4.3.3 anyway. I’m a developer and wanted to try ios 5 on my ip4 and I just downgraded today, piece of cake (in DFU) you don’t even need use sauriks servers or tiny umbrella as again apple is still signing 4.3.3. With that said, IOS 5beta is what it is, and if you read the release notes it clearly states what functions are currently not available including syncing with out that cable, etc… Fun for a few hours but for my everyday phone it simply doesnt cut it yet. (I know it shouldn’t either)
June 19th, 2011 at 12:33 am
works find for me
June 22nd, 2011 at 2:13 am
SBSettings will do everything UISettings does and more and will always be free.
June 22nd, 2011 at 10:17 am
I agree to with one condition
with no cracked apps
with no jailbreak
just at it is from the Apple
June 24th, 2011 at 10:59 pm
I had iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 GSM, for the exception of a few minor bugs it worked great. But I noticed after 2 weeks, it out of nowhere, started consuming my battery very quickly, would charge completely, and with no use, (nothing running in multitask, push email disabled, location services and notification services disabled) an hour and a half later, my battery would be at 12 percent. After dealing with this a few more charge cycles, I downgraded to 4.3.3.

June 27th, 2011 at 12:07 am
What happens when u try
June 27th, 2011 at 3:06 pm
Just let people do their own thing. Huh that was easy right? It even saves both of us from having to type out comments haha. It’s actually easier to not give your mindless dribble. Look at what you wrote. Who does that help? Dude just don’t bother next time not to be mean.
June 28th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
iOS 5 is actually pretty stable, and I depend on WiFi syncing so mich that I need it. Do have oroblems with apps. But I really miss the Free Memory button on SBSettings. It cleans about 140NB for me while others can just top out of 120MB, and UISettings doesn’t do that at all, it only provides things people actully don’t need. MobileSubstrate isn’t upgraded for iOS 5 yet, SafeMode shouldn’t even be there.
June 29th, 2011 at 9:19 am
ive been running iOS 5 b2 on Verizon since it came out. Beta 1 had a few issues that I’ve seen corrected in b2. In all honesty I think b2 of ios5 is more stable than 4.2.8. And yes I’m jail broken, with a dev acct.

Hi,
I´m running iOS5 B3 since a couple days.The issues i´ve found so far is, can´t change wallpaper except for iOS standard wallpapers. A few apps keeps crashing, but overall it´s seems pretty stable to me. I love the Notification Center.
July 16th, 2011 at 1:05 am
How do you know if SBSettings will do more than UISettings? What if it just happens to get updated when qwertyoruiop comes back? And last I checked SBSettings, it said there would be barely any updates on the More Info page
July 18th, 2011 at 1:46 am
Changing the wallpaper works fine. You have to do it from Settings, not Photos.
This article disgusts me.
iOS 5 Beta is meant for developers and not for public users. . .!
July 19th, 2011 at 3:48 pm
Could you please tell me, when will be the IOS5 to the public?
July 19th, 2011 at 11:07 pm
Well… I am a developer. Disgusts you… poor you, I hope you will survive this terrible time of your life.
July 21st, 2011 at 4:27 pm
You fucking idiot, you obviously fucking did it wrong if all your shit “crashes”.Dumbass, why the living hell would you even fucking jailbreak a beta anyway. You dumbshit, jail breaking voids your warranty and does nothing but Apple giving you a big bucket of fuck all. The beta is fine for anyone.
July 23rd, 2011 at 1:35 am
this is all bull crap sb setting has been able to work since beta 1 now were on beta 4 and it still works. on top of that apple is using past codeing support meaning almost every app will work. and the tethered jailbreak will let you play your cracked apps too
July 24th, 2011 at 4:21 pm
To develop tweaks for iOS 5.

August 12th, 2011 at 4:28 pm
Well if you don’t let your battery die, tethered really doesn’t mater i’m happy with beta 4, might try beta 6.
August 15th, 2011 at 6:34 am
Boy, folks get pretty emotional here. I can’t a afford a dev subscription. I’ve got an ipad2 with 4.3.3 jail broken. I love all the little gizmos I can add to it. What are best sites where I can study up on shsh and signing and all this more techie stuff. Sounds like fun but I want to know what I’m doing so I don’t break something.

@ idarkside I am having an iPod Touch 4g running 4.3.5 Not jail broken and I don’t have a developer account… My friend gave me the iTunes 5 beta and iOS 5 Beta 7… So If I jailbreak my iPod using sn0wbreeze Is it really stable ? PLS help anyone…. Is it worth upgrading or not… ? Or wait for 5 more days and get iOS 5 public version …?

Hi Everybody.
I don’t know where to publish this so I’ll explain my problem here : I have an iPhone 4.2.1 since March 2011, jailbroken. Problem is that since september when I was back in France, the iPhone has started to send silent text messages to some wierd number : +1 716 794 1480 got the number thanks to iphonedelivery btw) this happens randomly when I’m texting somebody or when I turn on the phone.
First I thought it was because of Facetime, but I don’t use it, and the text messages of Facetime are sent to the UK, so my question is : has anybody faced the same problem ? and any ideas for a solution? thanks in advance guys.
October 3rd, 2011 at 5:51 am
