This is an incredible app to use gestures on the go. I’ve used many custom gestures using activator that improves my usability of iPhone running iOS 9.3.
Previously, I’ve used Activator iOS 10 and applied many custom gestures.
Not working on iPhone 5. I have restored and re jail broken my iPhone 5 several times. And activator still just shows as a black screen when I open it. HELP!!!!
Activator send me to safe mode after install it. Made my JB on an iPhone 5s, ios 8.1, i bougth 3 tweaks that needs activator to work and every tima i intalled it, still send me to safe mode screen.
Does not work for System Actions, such as “Open settings to Wifi” or “Open Location Services”. Trying to activate one of those leads to a crash to safemode.
dfr gt
is there anyway i can unlock my phone every time i unlock my phone it turns on my flashlight and airplane mod and restarts my phone and i can not unlock it with out it turning off and restarting
Try holding power, volume up and home buttons at the same time and your phone should boot into a safe mode where you can open cydia and uninstall the app then reboot as normal.
activator isnt working on my iphone 4 running ios iOS 10 it is always disabled and i cant find a fix
I am on ios iOS 10 latest version of the activator 1.8.4-rc4 is creating problem for Auxo 2 right hot corner.
on ipad air running 7.0.6 says activator can´t be installed, it claims to be missing “flipswitch >=1.0.3” and “Cydia substrate >=0.9.5001” Cydia substrate is installed but its version 0.9.5000 but I can for my life not find flipswitch anywhere. help please it worked flawlessly on my iphone 4S.
It’s compatible for iOS 9.1
actually, it needs updated cydia Substrate
Am sure that the “flip switch” refers to the mute switch on iphones. Could be wrong though.
Yeah, you may be correct here. Activator became more powerful and feature rich with the time and over firmware to new firmware.
1.8.3 version works after installing Cydia substrate 0.9.5000
iphone 5s 8.1 please update an fix this activator
jack, try to update your mobile substrate, it might fix the issue
many users have reported that after installing latest cydia substrate, Activator is working
1.8.3 version has been released already with couple of bug fixed
not working on iphone 5s
Anyone use SleepDepriver with Activator? Used to work great in IOS 6.x but does not work anymore on IOS 7 on my 5s. Wondering if there is a way to fix.
Activator 1.8.3 released today for iPhone 5S, 5C, iPad Air, iPad Mini 2 Retina Display
enjoy
Does activator 1.8.4 for ios 7 really works?
Activator prevents my phone from turning back on unless mobile
Substrate is disabled. Any way to fix that?
Did you install updated Cydia Substrate?
Install Errors happen when there is conflicts or incompatibility with other installed apps.
Activator is still in beta and therefore still has bugs.
Solution:
Uninstall activator and “Do not” install again until it’s the final version is released.
But that’s an app that’s on the home screen, i have that, ifile, respring, and activator (which doesn’t work.) i meant tweaks that show up in the settings and require mobile substrate.
Infinidock, 5 row keyboard, and Activator. And Iconoclasm. Those are my big reasons for jailbreak.
I do find it odd that you can set a song to play as an alarm, but not as a ringtone.
Yes, i confirmed it. It works on iOS 10 on iPhone 5
It works, thanks a lot. I was gonna unjailbreak without it
I’ve seen activator iOS 10 in Apple app store at $0.99
Does it work on jailbroken iDevices?
As a legit iOS developer it drives me mad how many of these scam apps make it into the store. We have to wait at least a week to get Apple to approve each update yet their review process seems so superficial as to let these scams through.
If you need it, why don’t you try official beta release from Ryan Petrich’s repo source?
