If you've been jailbreaking for a fair amount of time, then you'll be more than familiar with Substrate Safe Mode. It's designed to help your device remain usable when conflicts arise, allowing you to resolve the issue and remove the problematic package(s) or extensions with as little incident as possible. It's not the most welcome of situations, since it only arises when there's a crash of some description, but it is a necessity in helping your device to recover, and with Substrate Safe Mode having just been updated in Cydia, this is one package you'll want to download and install at the soonest opportunity.
Battery life. iCloud Drive. Extension ordering. It's all here in the just released iOS 8.1.1. And it's lovely.

Apple's introduction of the slo-mo feature with the iPhone 5s has proven itself to be extremely popular amongst users, and not just when filming videos of dogs jumping to catch Frisbees for YouTube.

Having 4G LTE connectivity on a mobile device is great and all, but when its signal begins to weaken, iOS takes it upon itself to switch to 3G. This is perfectly reasonable, of course, since it conserves battery and makes practical sense to run only 3G where LTE coverage is not necessarily firing to its maximum capacity, but if you don't want to be mollycoddled by Apple in this regard, then there's no actual way to halt the auto-switch to 3G. As with so many limitations within the iOS software, though, there's a remedial tweak out to resolve the issue, and a new entry over at the BigBoss repository will lock your cellular data signal to 4G LTE even when it begins to fade out.
A couple of days back, we reported on the so-called Masque Attack afflicting iOS, with threatening apps posing as legitimate ones in order to steal login credentials and generally wreak havoc. The fact that the United States government has issued a bulletin as something of a warning to iOS users is a testament to the severity of the problem, and with Apple concerned about the security of its platform as it well should be, the Cupertino company's support pages have been updated to offer advice to those worried about Masque.
