On Monday, Jay Freeman (saurik) released an update for the Substrate Safe Mode package for jailbroken iOS devices.
The new version 0.9.5000 of the package makes Substrate Safe Mode safer on iOS 8.0 through iOS 8.1.
More specifically, it fixes a problem that could cause SpringBoard to hog the CPU and cause the CPU usage to shoot through the roof up to 100% whenever the device would go into Safe Mode. This would lead to extensive battery drain and problems with heat because the CPU was working so hard.
It is recommended that all jailbreakers go ahead and snag this update. It's available for free in Cydia's "Changes" tab among refreshing your sources via the Cydia/Telesphoreo repository.
