When it was introduced iOS 7 there was a group of users that were not not happy with their appearance and aesthetics: simple, flat, childish ... are some of the adjectives that have been used to criticize iOS 7. A change was needed now, and it was clear that it could not please everyone.
Most of these users thought "no problem, when the iOS 7 jailbreak comes out a topic will appear that will allow to change the appearance and make iOS 7 looks like iOS 6«. Well maybe this not as easy as it seemed, since all the themes to customize the iPhone are applied using the Winterboard tool, created by the creator of Cydia Saurik himself, and according to himself might never work on iOS 7.
Apparently the new iOS 7 has a multitude of new layers In their appearance they break the operation of Winterboard, in addition many things change: multitasking, Control Center, notification center, the notifications themselves ... practically everything.
Considering the null support Saurik has had to adapt Winterboard to iOS 6, where there were hardly any changes, the hacker acknowledges that it will be impossible to rewrite the entire tool without help to make it work in iOS 7: «I have very little hope of making Winterboard compatible with iOS 7, I need others to explain to me what to do, I am not a creator of themes, I am just one of the few developers who believes that there is a need for artists to develop themes ", are the words of Jay Freeman.
The developer also complains that artists only contact him to publicize their theme, and when they ask for something they are very complex features that cannot be programmed in Winterboard.
To make Winterboard possible on iOS 7 Saurik needs bug reports, screenshots, file names, explanations of how some themes work from the beginning ... In summary, that theme developers focus on helping to make the application work properly, to make it possible.
If in the end this collaboration does not exist Saurik will not be able to adapt Winterboard to iOS 7 and we can never make the new operating system look like the old.

who does not like ios 7 that does not update or go to the competition. It should be a crime to transform ios 7 into ios 6
You do have a partner crime. There is no color, and never better said, between the interface of iOS 6 and that of iOS 7. iOS 6 is sober, it is realistic, it is precious, it is simply Apple. iOS 7 is childish, it is flat, it is ostracized, it is simply Android. Of course, how the tables turn; Android first copied to iOS without reservations, now it is iOS who copies Android.
As for not updating ... Yes, in principle this is how it will be, rest assured, the problem comes later, when the app's FORCE you to update because they are no longer compatible with iOS 6. So if you want to continue with iPhone You have to do what Jony says (watch out! What he says, not what Apple says since Apple has never been this. If Jobs lived he would NEVER have consented to this, NEVER), but sooner rather than later you will not be able to run your apps. so games.
Going over to the competition? Well, many of us do not rule it out at all.
in fact from my point of view in this case iOS copied Android and Android formerly to Cydia tweaks depends from the point of view in which you see it.
In other words, if we don't like it, we anchor ourselves on an old iOS, right? Go lights.
We all have the right to judge the appearance of our iOS, and to decide whether we like it or not. And whoever doesn't like it has every right to want to change its aesthetics without anyone calling it a "crime."
It is a matter of taste.
How much argument do I see in this comment? Let's see ... yes, none. For you to know, crime was what they did with iOS 6, everything is susceptible to being improved but that was not what happened in this case, it is so ugly that once the jailbreak appears, the next thing we will see will be tweaks or the winterboard itself. to reverse and / or modify its appearance.
One thing is for sure if before we changed the appearance of iOS by not always seeing the same screenshots although well designed, now we are "forced" not to see the same horrible screenshots, then the sale of themes is going to skyrocket.
As for going to the competition, yes, why not? We can even do something in between and continue to keep the iPhone on par with a Galaxy or any other to make things more bearable.
Definitely what we will not do is not update and not transform to iOS 7.
IOS 7 is horrible and the iPhone 5S, no matter how much crap of fingerprints it carries, will be a disappointment that will see you lose followers from its ridiculous 4-inch screen. Right now the phone of the moment is the Xperia Z1. That is innovation. Goodbye Apple, hello Android.
Yes yes, the phone of the moment. From the moment I would say. Android phones are short-lived as pointers. They devalue quickly. While today you still pay a lot to get an iPhone 4S. iPhone is very reliable. Apple is. Who has been able to buy knows it. Whether you like iOS7 more or less is a matter of taste.
A blinded fanboy who thinks that everything about Apple is good and everything else is bad.
I don't think that at all. But they are certainly more reliable than many that come out with unhelpful features to get attention. I have had Galaxy S3 and S4 for example and at the same time they hang and give more errors.
Well, I don't consider myself a follower of any particular brand, but I think that putting a fingerprint reader on a phone (assuming it is done) seems to me to be a lot more useless than most of the competition's features. It is a matter of opinions, I suppose there will be those who find it useful.
There's so much more to junk from Samsung. Even the Chinese like Jiayu or Xiaomi surpass Samsung's Lagwiz in usability.
There is also Windows Phone ...
Well one thing I say, I hear a lot that Galaxy S 3 and Galaxy S4 are amazing, which leaves the iPhone 5 at the height of the bitumen (I own an iPhone 4 and iPhone 5). ye have tried both galaxy 3 and 4, since they have it familiar. And they don't have that feeling that you get when you see an Apple product, that curiosity that you get from touching it. Next, I don't like Android at all, it makes me slow and heavy. And now if you want, call me a fanboy, but it's my opinion
All the best
PS: the only terminal that I would have liked to play and fiddle with is the Htc One
Well, of the Android terminals, the only one that catches my attention is the HTC One because I consider that HTC, like Apple, cares about the design and the complete experience (although perhaps to a lesser extent). Still, I'm not a big fan of any brand, I think I have products from most of the most popular brands in terms of mobile devices.
