UPDATE: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
So, today evasi0n7 was released out of nowhere as a 'Christmas Present' for us. While it is a 100% legit and a (kinda) working jailbreak, it has a few problems as suspected. Note I'm pretty sure this isn't working for 5c and 5s models.
Firstly here's some news/tweets from saurik, the creator of Cydia:
So, I got no lead time on evasi0n7, nor was I asked for an official iOS 7 Cydia; I was not given builds, nor was I asked for things to test.
In fact, @evad3rs didn't even try my testing build of Substrate I gave core developers, so they didn't notice a fundamental incompatibility.
This means they are going to have to push a new version of their untether to fix this oversight before I can push newer builds of Substrate.
As there was also never a tethered jailbreak for iOS 7 that had fully working kernel patches I haven't been able to test much at all myself.
I thereby have no clue what will or will not work, or even what evasi0n7 includes; I hope that people bear with me as I figure this all out.
(In particular, I will point out that the build of "Cydia" included is not official, and couldn't really include the fixes I'd been making.)
(Also, it's 5 AM here; I'm quite tired and had been intending to go to sleep, so I don't have the brain power to react to this all quickly.)
For those who only care about WinterBoard: as I expected, I got core functions working on iOS 7 ;P. (Not pushed yet!)
If you don't understand, basically in evasi0n7 you could say there is no Mobile Substrate. Some tweaks run a code on the SpringBoard, so if the 'tweak' crashes, you're pretty much f*cked. MobileSubstrate will run if you're Springboard crashes and prevent your device becoming a potato.
Saurik wasn't given early access to early builds of evasi0n so he couldn't check MobileSubstrate was working, in the case, it's not. Rumors are saying the reason why he was left out was because evasi0n 'sold out' to some crazy Chinese company. Read more [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

So for this reason, I suggest you don't jailbreak right now. We've waited months so what harm could a couple of days do? You could update to iOS 7.0.4 now so if Apple release 7.1 while you're waiting, you're safe. Also another reason is Cydia is being spammed with users trying to access and download packages, this makes Cydia unusable. which is normal whenever a big jailbreak is released. With that being said, not many packages/tweaks are support either due to iOS7 which is normal, or the Mobile Substrate issue (not normal).

Supports: iOS 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.2, 7.0.3, 7.0.4 and all models running iOS 7 (supposedly)

Remember to back up your phone.
This jailbreak will work on 7x to 7.0.4 if you're on a beta do a full restore.
Don't update to iOS 7 Over the air! (OTA)
Good luck!

Hopefully this has cleared up some confusion, I'm sure everything will be fine in the end and we'll have a fully working iOS 7 jailbreak. I will update this post regularly. Also, this wasn't a copy and paste.
