Partially working tweaks

  • Airblue Sharing (Can't seem to send from music app, but tried sending a photo from the app and it worked. Tried to send a picture from macbook to iPhone, successful transfer. Then stopped working.)
  • Centered (works, but causes weird graphical glitch when sliding down NC)
  • DailyPaper works (tapping "update now" in the prefpane crashes settings app but the tweak works)
  • FlipControlCenter (Rotation lock toggle triggers safemode, and flashlight toggle doesn't work)
  • HiddenSettings7 (CC button needs to be disabled. To access settings use HiddenSettings7 Icon, springboard crashes after closing settings panel but changes still apply)
  • iKeywi 2 (works with apps that haven't been optimised for iphone 6 yet. But, the ones that have not quite.)
  • NoSlowAnimations (Works but in opposite way. Setting it slower means animations are faster, etc)
  • PreferenceOrganizer 2 (Tweaks are placed in the wrong section)
  • Stride (error loading preference bundle)
  • SubtleLock (iOS 7) (doesn't hide NC and CC grabbers)
  • SwipeExpander (Pop up keys are broken but tweak works fine)
  • TypeStatus (read alerts show up but typing alerts don't seem to work)
