If I'm understanding this correctly they're saying that the 4.2.1 capable version of cydia should be available when iOS 4.2.1 is released so if you go through the normal JB routine after the iOS is made public then the version of cydia should be the right version and therefore you shouldn't have to patch it.

You get to be the guinea pig this time! Don't do the cydia patch and then see if it works. If it doesn't then just do it over and do the patch

Yeah I saw that! It's fuckin ghey! Whisker's you're gonna be pissed! Maybe I'd understand if it was muting all sounds but just system sounds is ridiculous. Now you have to jump through hoops to lock orientation where it used to be really easy.

I skimmed through the whole article just to read what they thought of the switch change, I didn't read the rest.

Well from all the tweets that are showing up cydia isn't working yet on 4.2.1. So I'm gonna wait, though it shouldn't be long

Hack doesn't work because of the way SL Server handles printers; i.e. CUPS.

The "working" JB is out. but it's tethered which means everytime you want to reboot your device you have to plug it back into your computer and run redsn0w again. I'm gonna wait for a tetherless JB.

If you reboot your iPad without plugging in and running redsn0w then it won't be JB when it comes back

So every time you want to reboot your device like when prompted to by Cydia then you'll have to tether it to your computer and run redsn0w.

I'm sure they're working on tetherless version so I'll wait

Has anyone tried airplay?

Curious on what apps/videos it works with.
Namely would it work with porn sites

Still not seeing the airplay options. Pretty sure you need to have an Apple TV in order to see for this option to appear.

The JB community has come through as I hoped they would! There's a utility called "No Mute" which brings back the orientation switch

Double click the home button and there's a button that it shown when you swipe the taskbar to the right. This was on an iPhone 4.

Sorry shouldve been more clear. The iPhone is only portrait orientation lock.

I want it like the iPad where I can lock it in landscape as well.
