MOST COMMONLY USED TWEAKS NOT WORKING WITH this JAILBREAK :-

1. gRAVIBOARD
2. Overboard
3. Locktopus
4. Lockdown Pro
5. barrel [Some transitions only...make the homescreen (winterboard) act weirdly]
6. Remove background [Removes all active apps in background]..installing but not working..

Most of the time when u download these tweaks the springboard keeps asking you to go into SAFE MODE or RESTART..as a result u have to remove them from cydia in the end!

also safari download manager AND 5 -row keyboard is NOT working.

REMOVE BACKGROUND seems to be working just fine.

and Barrel is extremely UNSTABLE ​and has a lot of glitches.!

I had the same problems. I tried it about 10 times on 2 different PCs. Same thing, just sat on the first part until it stopped working. What I did was backup to my PC, then restore it to factory. Rebooted my PC. Ran Absinthe as Admin and it worked perfectly. Once it was done I restored my backup to get my settings back, then I sync'd my apps. Good luck.

hi there thanks for your help. i tried what you suggested, and it gets me much further, however i'm now at the point where i have the absinthe icon on the restored ipad. when i click it, i get a message saying 'absinthe is now setting things up, please stand by'. when i first clicked it, i say a little wheel up by the network connection icon, but its now shown nothing for a while.

i read elsewhere that you can go into settings, and setup a vpn connection however this just results in an error for me, with no change when i click back on the absinthe icon

any suggestions?

EDIT: ok tried rejailbreaking a few times, and finally got the cydia icon! but when i click on it, didn't work? buth then i did a manual reboot and now seems to be working.

sorry for the long messages, but hopefully will help someone else

may i know how did u use REMOVE BACKGROUND?? Did u change something after installing it from CYDIA?

Either my Jailbreak didn't work totally (although it looked like it did), or something else is causing it, but I woke up this morning to see a totally drained battery. It was around half when I stopped using it last night. The only Cydia app I left installed was a wifi scanner app. I'm guessing it probably kept running even though I closed it. Just another huge negative about using a jailbreak.

It works inside of SBSettings. It becomes an icon you use when calling the SBSettings panel. Just search for Remove Background in Cydia and install. You'll have to go into SBSettings options and enable it. It is working fine for me.

This site shows current compatibility with iOs 5 and JB... iOS 5 Compatible Cydia Apps & Tweaks List - Jailbreak 5.0.1 - 5.1 CydiaHelp

5-row is incompatible (and might not be compatible at all after reading about the developer not updating it) and Safari download manager as well.

I don't see any other viable 5-row kb in Cydia. That sucks. That was my biggest hope for the JB on 5.0.1. Bummer.

Agreed. I hope either 5-row gets updated, or another is unveiled. I wish I was smart enough to make one or how to do it.

I told you this!!

Even I had to restore to factory settings before the jailbreak succeeded. Now it is working very nice.

I did send the developer an email and I got this in an auto-response:

The title states iKeyWi, so it might be renamed to that to match his iPhone/iPod one of the same name. So, maybe after the Chinese New Year celebration we will hopefully see this for our iPads again! :thumbs:

I will use the other one for my 4S I suppose.
