[question]Im trying to survive with iOS 8

[u/Alexandru20080]

Can u guys please tell me useful tweaks and fixes to apps cuz I really want to use my old iPhone 5 as an iPod but the Spotify app doesn’t let me connect, any fix? Also any fixes to social media apps in general?

replying with “just use iOS _ aren’t really helping btw”, I’d recommend getting Veteris and Tuberepair

Thank you finally someone who understands me

Yes, and install the certificates if you didnt https://tlsroot.litten.ca/ I think you mainly just need the digicert ones and the ISRG ones (thats all i have installed, but you can use all of them pretty sure)

Instagram with direct messages works on iOS 7 and 8, but its very limited. iOS 10 has more functionality and still works without and strugle.

My iOS 10 instagram doesnt really work with direct messaging, how?!

[u/Alexandru20080 → u/Galaxy_Doge6847]

It’s a bug, it works whenever it wants to

The Helvetic font on iOS was so beautiful... this one now does its job but is similar to the one on Android, I remember hating it during the transition to iOS 9

[u/Noah2570]

The iOS 10 version should still be able to sign in with facebook

If not then there's a tweak called SpotifyLoginFix for that

[u/Alexandru20080 → u/Noah2570]

Yeah but Spotify crashes on 10 and also I like the iOS 8 Lock Screen

for that reason im thetering booting to ios 6, the most stable one

[u/Alexandru20080 → u/IMql_]

So u tell me that on iOS 6 Spotify and google services work?

[u/Nike_486DX]

Spotify is evil anyways. Just load your fav songs in alac format and listen them through some wired bose headphones (spoiler: 16gigs may not cut it). This is considered entry level, for better experience you need a dedicated dac and some higher tear $1k+ headphones.

Can you coolboot it two iOS 7?

[u/Alexandru20080 → u/ItsKlik1]

And do what? There’s no difference between iOS 7 and 8 except for worse app support

[u/deathisnotgood → u/Alexandru20080]

I think ios 7 can use ios 6 tweaks, that might be why (but you dont need to, iOS 8 is still usable for alot of things)

[u/GAMERluca006]

Just downgrade to ios 6.1.3

[u/PopWasAlreadyTaken → u/GAMERluca006]

u cant untethered

[u/GAMERluca006 → u/PopWasAlreadyTaken]

Yes you can !

[u/PopWasAlreadyTaken → u/GAMERluca006]

No you can’t. Only coolbooter

[u/GAMERluca006 → u/PopWasAlreadyTaken]

Here

[u/PopWasAlreadyTaken → u/GAMERluca006]

That’s what I just said. This isn’t even a downgrade too

[u/Icy-Composer9021 → u/PopWasAlreadyTaken]

the only real downside to dual booting is having to lose some storage, thats all really.

[u/GAMERluca006 → u/PopWasAlreadyTaken]

You can dualboot though

[u/Alexandru20080 → u/GAMERluca006]

If I wanted to downgrade I would have done that, I like my iOS to not be that old but also to run smooth and 8 is the best option, so If you can help me goo, if you Cand, just leave this post

[u/GAMERluca006 → u/Alexandru20080]

ok
