I jailbroke my iPad 3 … for a short time. I was also bored with it. I found it stable, but everytime that I would install a new app or make a change to the interface, it would lock briefly. Also, I don’t like how I am unable to delete apps. I installed an app that was suppose to let me do just that (don’t remember the name), but after removing the app, the screen would temporarily lock, then the app was back on my iPad. Until evasi0n can make the jailbreak flawless for the iPad, then I won’t be modifying my iPad anytime soon.

Are you kidding me. What about the iMAME app that only lasted in the Appstore for about a week before being taken down and making its way to cydia. It has full support for the iCade and supports a load of ROM formats. Best arcade experience ever. Then there’s SNES9x in conjunction with SNES4iphone for sweet sweet Super Nintendo gaming on the go with the ability to use the Wii’s classic controller as the game pad.

[...] A few people have recommended NCSettings to me, following my recent post about being impressed but also a bit bored with the latest jailbreak for iPad. [...]

The main reason for me is SSH: being able to push content (mostly videos) onto our iPad 2 from any of the (Linux) computers in my house.

Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to do the same on my Mini due to “Good for Enterprise”.

On the iPad I use iFile and Safari Download Manager rather extensively.
Makes getting at .zip files and other non-apple file formats a lot more convenient.

What about Cardswitcher for fast app switching?

I bought ipad mini to jb it and to use Quasar which is not compitable with iOS6 yet other than that I’m using it for watching movies and episodes and reading it’s better than using my iphone for the same thing.. all i hope for now is updating Quasar frome the dev to be compatible with iOS 6

Agree, there’s no so much useful well designed jailbreaks for the iPAD … This is my 4th jailbreaking on iphone or ipad and I’m still not sold. On top of that, jailbreaking my mini today, the installation of NCSettings, followed by SBSettings and then MoutainLionCenter (MLC) just managed to break the so-called “mobile substrate” and get my ipad to restart in Safe Mode each time I try to activate MLC. Ultimately and even if I’d love a way to toggle my settings in a much more efficient way this is not worth the highly potential loss of a stable system so doing a restore now.

So not a lot of votes so far for JB on the iPad being fantastic eh?

SBSettings is of course an old, all-time favorite – but I haven’t even got it on the iPad mini. It feels like another one that is much more useful on the iPhone.

Right, and see I just don’t use my iPhone enough these days to even mess with jailbreak – though I did have it jailbroken for quite a while before iOS 6 came out.

Auxo is the one tweak I’d love to see come out for the iPad soon, as it’s expected to.

Other than Quasar, to me there is no reason to jb an ipad, and Quasar just does not make it worth it to me because jbing disables the directv app, and xcon has not updated yet for the evasion jb. Jailbreaking was always about the phone — which I did, incidentally, the day it came out.

I agree Accelerate is awesome, and I just downloaded SwipeSelection, which allows easy text selecting. Beyond that, just the basic SBSettings and FolderEnhancer is enough for me. I’m hoping that Auxo will become iPad compatible someday – that one rocks on the iPhone.

That’s interesting. At first I thought – Patrick’s lost his damn mind! Bored?! But then I realized all the cool JB stuff I’ve got is on my phone. All the tweaks on my IPad are mainly to address my gripes with Apple’s decisions:

Action Menu / Password Pilot – faster text entry
Dimmer & f/lux – for when I read in bed
Infinifolders – screw your app limit
NC Settings – duh
Protect My Privacy – duh x2
Springtomize – I can probably remove this, not sure what I’ve enabled.

Not a single fun thing. But, I guess that’s okay, bec. I’m having a blast on my iPhone 5. It really sings with all the fun Auxo / Barrel / Zephyr stuff.
