So you decided to jailbreak your iOS device and now the baked-in weather app is borked, right? Yeah, sometimes these things don’t always work out that smoothly but it could have been a lot worse. Now, a fix is being worked on but in case you haven’t downloaded one of a bajillion other weather apps, here’s how to fix the problem now:
1. BACKUP YOUR DEVICE
2. Launch Cydia and install Mobile Terminal and Open SSH
3. Launch Mobile Terminal and type the following followed by a return: su root
4. Now type in the default password, if you haven’t changed it: alpine
5. Copy and paste the following script into Mobile Terminal:
#!/bin/bash
chmod -x /usr/libexec/mobile_installation_proxy
killall -9 mobile_installation_proxy
rm /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore
launchctl stop com.apple.mobile.installd
launchctl start com.apple.mobile.installd

sleep 10
chmod +x /usr/libexec/mobile_installation_proxy
sync
reboot
6. Your device should reboot at this point and all will supposedly be well. [Funky Space Monkey via Cult of Mac]













I’m pretty sure the following isn’t supposed to be in there:

Well spotted, more copy/paste journalism eh?
At least read it before you paste
Worked perfectly for me thanks, however; the copy/paste will need to be enabled in the Mobile Terminal app under gestures. I used the double tap gesture to enable copy/paste then double tapped when in the terminal and then pasted the script and pressed return. Hope this helps anyone else trying to do the same thing.
I never had the issue to begin with
i dont know why, maybe because virgin install of 6.1 and straight jailbreak.
At the risk of nuclear holocaust, I’m going to ask: if iPhone users want so much control over their devices that they jailbreak it why not go for the best customizable thing – Android
{sorry couldn’t resist}
(Oh and before I’m attacked, I’m an ex iSheep. Only that I saw the light earlier; became bored with my 3gs very quickly and voila, the SGS2 came out. So there you have it, my life story)
Tweaks are mostly gimmicks, rather than device-defining adjustments, I could live without them. It’s just nice to see what some people can come up with, while I still get to use the Apple hardware.
I’ve no real need for the level of control you get with android, my 2-year old iP4 phone does everything I need it to, and nothing has come out since that makes me want to switch. I find that most hacks or new features are distractions rather than genuine game-changers. I still use pretty much all the functions I did 2 years ago, and apps tend to fill in any real blanks.
Why buy a whole new phone, when I can just stick with my perfectly functioning device that hooks into the Apple eco-system, and in my opinion still looks and feels better than 95% of everything else out there.
JB’d or not, at this moment I’d still prefer an iPhone over an android device (although I have no real interest in the iP5); different people have different priorities, don’t forget, there’s no one-size-fits-all.
Edit: An extra ‘phone’ managed to sneak into the 1st line of 2nd paragraph. Please give us an edit button!
Theres no harm in asking, as long as you don’t assume. I got bored of putting roms on my Android devices and I couldn’t decide which one to keep. I already had some Apple devices and an iPhone would sync up with those devices well and I didn’t really feel like I needed to tweak it but having SBSettings and Activator makes the phone fit my needs a little better but the phone wasn’t at all bad before them. That’s just me though, the jailbreak just gives some additional features if you can be bothered to do it, but I’m glad you’ve found a phone you like. Different phones suit different people as tolpin said.
err yeah so this didn’t work for me.
also worth noting that it took about 10 brick shitting minutes for my phone to reboot.
not working for me
Got it working for me now, you need to uninstall appsync/AppCake before-hand.
Then paste this into terminal.
Then weather should work and you can then re-install AppCake.
