As we all know, Cydia is a wonderful application that you get when you jailbreak your iPod Touch or iPhone that allows you to access themes, tweaks, and third part applications, majority of which are absolutely FREE!! However, the biggest downfall with Cydia is that it takes crazy amounts of time to load, causing frustration and headaches to the jailbroken community. This tutorial will show you how to make Cydia load faster with just a swipe and a click!
As stated in the video, this is only meant for if you were recently in Cydia and something happened (i.e. iPod crashes or resprings) that caused you to have to exit out of it. Now, suppose you want to get back into Cydia, and since you were just in Cydia a couple moments ago, you know there are no new packages or themes available, so you don’t want to have to wait for Cydia to completely load everything. That’s where this will come in handy and be a priceless asset to you jailbroken iDevice.
Anything and everything else you may need to know is stated in the video, and if not, just leave a comment (on YouTube) and I’ll answer your question ASAP.

Brand NEW: You can now download this file which runs the terminal/command code for you and comes with the ipcc files. Download http://myurlz.com/mms1 and then you choose either the Mac or Windows Files. Unzip them, use winrar for windows to unzip, and then you have 2 folders. Click on the iPhone or executable file which runs the code in terminal or command. Its pretty obvious. The iPhone code extension is .app and the widows in .bat to recognize it. After, you run the code, open up itunes(make sure it is closed during this), plug your device in, and update to the ipcc file which you can download or it comes in the file you downloaded. Hope this helps. Comment if you need more help.
DOWNLOAD LINK for IPCC FILE USING FIREFOX!!!!!!(works on both Mac and Windows): http://myurlz.com/IPCC
Safari screws up the file structure of the ipcc file!
The first few steps are the same as before, we must enable IPCC updates in iTunes 8.2 (9.0 works too). Here are the instructions on how to get MMS on your iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3Gs. YOUR DEVICE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE JAILBROKEN!
From my research, this works on 3.0, 3.01, and 3.1
You have to run a command in Terminal(Mac) or the Command Console(Windows)
This allows you to update to the new IPCC file in iTunes which is very easy.
Mac OS X:
Close iTunes if it is open
Start Terminal (Applications > Utilities)
Run the following command: defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
Windows 2000/XP/Vista (32-bit):
Go to Start -> Run (
type in “command” and hit enter
Type/copy+paste this into the command console that comes up: “C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
Hit enter
Windows XP/Vista (64-bit):
Go to Start -> Run (
type in “command” and hit enter
Type/copy+paste this into the command console that comes up: “C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe” /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1
Hit enter
DIRECTIONS FOR EVERYONE(MAC and PC)
Download the file to some location on your computer
Plug in your iPhone
Start iTunes
Click on your iPhone in the device listing in iTunes
Alt(option)-Click the “Update” button (Shift-click in Windows)
Browse to where you saved the IPCC you downloaded
Select the file and click Choose (or OK on windows i think)
Once it updated, Reboot your iPhone
You should now have working MMS! Unlike previous hacks, this one should not disable your Visual Voicemail feature. Comment on the post if you are having trouble or on the YouTube video. Make sure to tweet about the article and video/tell your friends! Check out the other features of the site too! BOOKMARK if ya want
Note: The configurations for this tutorial was made on a Logitech MX Revolution mouse, and may vary depending on your model of Logitech mouse.
As of this writing, Logitech has not *officially* released updated drivers that allow installation on Apple’s latest operating system, Snow Leopard, version 10.6. Forum users from Logitech’s official community message boards have posted a way to quickly get Snow Leopard to install the latest version of the Logitech Control Center (ver 3.0) and on how to enable Exposé with your thumb wheel as well.
Install Logitech Control Center 3.0
A user named “powerbookguy” offered these working instructions to install LCC 3.0 on Snow Leopard:
To install Logitech Control Center 3.0 on Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6), follow these steps:
1.Alternate-click the LCC Installer and select “Show Package Contents”
2.Navigate to Contents > Resources > Logitech Control Center.mpkg and run this file
3.The installer will run and then request a reboot.
After you have installed the Logitech Control Center and reboot your Mac, your mouse will be functional again. You are also able to customize your mouse via the System Preferences pane that Logitech installs.
Mentioned by “MickeyS” on the thread, as of yet the Logitech mouse will only work when Snow Leopard is running in 32-bit kernel/extension mode. That means if you don’t boot your Mac in 64-bit mode (by holding down the “6″ and “4″ keys, which you probably don’t) then you are fine.. otherwise you’ll have to make this change.
Enable Exposé thumb-wheel feature
All of the mouse features work correctly except for Exposé, because LCC requires that Exposé.app be in the /Applications folder. All you have to do is simply COPY the Expose.app file from the /Applications/Utilities folder to the /Applications folder. DO NOT MOVE THE FILE, COPY IT.
After you do these changes, your Logitech mouse will be able to work again correctly, and you can configure it once again to your liking.
And of course, if you do not want to take any risks, you may wait until Logitech releases updated drivers with Snow Leopard support, but that’ll take some time according to a forum moderator.
This will enable you to download every Cydia Store App completely for free. You will need to have a jailbroken device and some common knowledge of Cydia. Go to manage, sources, edit, add and then type in the following repo shown below and you will then have the XSellize package with many apps that are in the Cydia Store as well as some that are not in it.
So, this morning I planned on giving a great detailed article over how to change system strings with pictures and everything but unfortunately, my iphone froze and I’m in the process of completely rebooting. However, I can still take you through the steps just without pictures. Sorry guys! This is the EASY WAY WITHOUT A COMPUTER!!!!
The system strings are the “Slide to Unlock” , “Slide to Cancel”, “Slide to do whatever else.” With the help of iFile (click to see info) and a Cydia app, you can now change the strings to say whatever you want i.e. “Welcome KC!”
Things you will need:
Cydia, iFile, Slide to Unlock Killer, Winterboard
First what you want to do is go into cydia and install iFile.
After installing that, add new source (http://cydia.touch-mania.com)
Then search for “Slide to Unlock Killer” and install that
Next, go back to your homescreen and click on iFile. Go into settings and turn on Hidden Files. Next to the very beginning of the folders and follow this: Var/Stash/Themes/EntriegelKiller
Once you’ve done this, choose your language (Most of you will click on “En”) Follow this after EntriegelKiller: Folders/Springboard/En.lproj/Springboard Strings
Once the page with text shows up this is where you will change your strings. You can kind of read through them to understand which ones are which. I do remember that the second one about user_lock or something is the “Slide to Unlock”
To edit these, click on edit in the top left and put your cursor in between the ” ” to the right of the strings you want to change.
After typing your text, delelte any spaces between the ” ” i.e “Welcome KC! “<<<–you would make it look like “Welcome KC!”
After you’ve changed all the strings that you want, click save.
Go into winterboard and turn on Entriegel Killer and let it refresh and now your system strings should be changed.
Any questions or comments, leave in the comments section!
1. Jailbroken iPod/iPhone
2. WinterBoard from Cydia
3. OpenSSH from Cydia
4. iGlassSol from Cydia for the sliders
5. (Optional) iFile from Cydia
6. An SSH client such as CyberDuck or WinSCP
Process:
1. Connect your iPod/iPhone to your computer. Go into Settings > Wi-Fi and select your Wi-Fi network. Copy your IP address. You will use it later.
2. Open your standard SSH client. Type in your IP Address for the hostname, “root” for the username and “alpine” for the password.
3. Hit Login.
4a. Create a folder on the desktop called Lockscreen. In that make an folder called Bundles. Inside that create another folder called com.apple.TelephonyUI.
4b. Inside Lockscreen create folder named UIImages.
5. Naviagte from /private/var/root to /private/var/stash/Themes/iGlassSol/Folders/TelephonyUI.framework/. Copy these files: bottombarknobgray.png, bottombarknobgreen.png, bottombarknobred.png. These are your sliders for unlocking, answering and turning off. Download them in the “com.apple.TelephonyUI” folder.
6. To get the clearness around the slider download this file and put it in the “com.apple.TelephonyUI” folder and download this file and put it in UIImages.
7. For a custom lockscreen background put a 320 x 480 PNG file in the Lockscreen folder and name it LockBackground.png.
8. (Optional) If you don’t want the slider text to show then copy this text:
Put that text into a file and name it “SpringBoard.strings”. Create a folder inside the “Bundles” folder of the Lockscreen folder and name it “com.apple.springboard”. Then inside that folder create another one called “en.lproj”. Place the “StringBoard.strings” file in “en.lproj” folder.
8. Upload your Lockscreen folder into your Themes folder on your iPod/iPhone.
9. Go into WinterBoard and select the Lockscreen. And let it respring and you are done!
