How To Make Most Tweaks Work With iOS 7 On Pre-A7 Devices

What is the common problem you are facing right now after you’ve successfully jailbroken your iPhone running on iOS 7 ? Let me answer this question, most of you probably especially users who have A7 devices like iPhone 5s/5c, those users can’t download any jailbreak tweak because most of them doesn’t yet support A7 devices…

The short answer to the question is Mobile Substrate. Most of the apps and tweaks that you install from Cydia rely on Mobile Substrate, and Mobile Substrate has not been updated for the latest iOS 7 jailbreak as of yet. An update has been promised to come soon, but Saurik, its developer, is no doubt inundated with about a thousand and one different tasks related to the just released jailbreak.

Yesterday we reported to you that Saurik is working on a new updated version of Mobile Substrate for 64-bit devices. 

But hopefully you’ve a few jailbreak tweaks that you can still download on your iPod Touch 5G/iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c, check out this video to see what tweaks are supporting your device: 

STEP 1: Verify that you’re running a compatible device.

Mobile Substrate will not work properly with 64-bit devices like the iPhone 5s, iPad Air, and iPad mini with Retina Display. You’re going to need to wait on an update before tweaks and apps using Mobile Substrate will work properly. Patience, grasshoppers.

STEP 2: Reinstall Mobile Substrate and Substrate Safe Mode.

If you’re running a compatible device (i.e. iPhone 5, or iPod touch 5th generation) then a simple reinstall of Mobile Substrate and Substrate Safe Mode should put your back in business. You should use Cydia’s queuing feature to do both at the same time. Please watch the video above for a full step-by-step walkthrough of the process.
