Details about device: iPhone 5 ATT 579C-E2599A
The problem: Requesting best process to upgrade to 7.1.2 with JB from 6.1.4 please.
What I've tried so far: Searching. A lot. Not sure if I need to remove JB, upgrade, then reJB or not.
List of tweaks: None that I am worried about retaining specifically.
I looked around a bit... wasn't able to find any process. THANK YOU.

Most of the tweaks are already updated. Honestly, I'd stick with iOS 6. It runs faster.
my facetime stopped working, though. if I can get around that, I will!
If you have an iPhone 5 iOS 7 is just as fast as iOS 6, and you have the added benefit of tweaks being updated and new tweaks being created.
thanks
don't use a backup for your things like apt backup. it will fail most likely and cause a bootlopp. A LOT of tweaks now have "iOS 7 versions" that you will need to re buy or re download.
your best bet is to use source saver to save your sources and take screenshots of your settings app and your cydia downloads.
restore in iTunes jailbreak with pangu donwload source saver restore from source saver go through screenshots and download about 5 things at a time using cydia's queue.
don't do too many at once because if one isn't ready than you will cause a boot loop and never be able to figure which tweak is causing it.

I personally haven't used this, but you can use AptBackup and Source Saver to backup your tweaks and sources respectively, then update/restore from iTunes as a new phone, jailbreak, then restore from backup then install the two tweaks mentioned earlier and put your backup on.
awesome, thanks a ton. really appreciate it.
No problem!
