To download and install applications, Apple has created an online store AppStore. Everything would be okay, but when she selected these applications to her store, she set very tight controls. Accordingly, many applications that did not get there, suffered an unenviable fate to be forgotten. But one day, one clever man, Jay Freeman, and in common saurik, created Cydia, where third-party developers drop their applications.

If you speak a simple, understandable beginner language, then Cydia is the same AppStore. But:
1. In Cydia, unlike the AppStore, 99% of all applications are free.
2. Cydia is more focused on the "embellishment" of the iPhone.
3. Cydia is installed only on phones with Jailbreak.

1. Cydia home screen
When you first start Cydia will ask you how much you are advanced and, accordingly, what opportunities you will have when using Cydia:

Normal user.
Hacker
The developer.

If you are a beginner, it is better to choose the first item.




Also, when you first start Cydia will update the list of repositories *, data about the programs in them, as well as check for updates for already installed programs and their modules. At the bottom of the Changes tab there will be a message about the number of available updates with which it is recommended to agree (update), it will not be worse for sure.



If you see messages like "Network Error", "Unable to load", etc. etc. - do not be alarmed. The fact is that Cydia needs a stable connection, so it is recommended to perform all actions when a Wi-fFi connection is connected. It is not recommended to use the Edge, because the connection is rather slow, and many repositories have a connection timeout.

Consider all the bookmarks Cydia.

2. Bookmark Sections



Here are all the available applications, which are divided into categories, next to each of which indicates the number of applications available within it.

3. Bookmark Changes



Here are the latest updates of already installed applications, as well as the latest programs published in Cydia. All installed programs are updated, unidentified browsing for the presence of the application you need.

4. Bookmark Manage



In this tab, you can delete already installed programs (Packages), add or delete repositories (Sources) and free space information on iPhone (Storage).

Packages



There are all installed applications and modules, as well as modules installed by Cydia independently. All new applications are broken down by publication date and include a brief description.
IMPORTANT!!! Carefully look what exactly you are going to delete. In no case do not remove the Cydia service modules, this may lead to its incorrect operation! Delete only what you personally installed. If you are not sure about something, it is better to leave everything as is.

Sources



To delete or add a repository, tap on the buttonEdit in the upper right corner of the screen. To add a repository click on Add in the upper left corner of the screen, we get a window for entering the repository address. Upon completion of entering the address, click Add source . If you entered the correct repository address, it will be added to Cydia and applications from it will be available for installation.

1. Select the package in Cydia that you want to install and go to the tweak page;
2. Push button To install in the upper right corner;

3. Instead of pressing the button To accept as it is done usually during installation, click on the button Back to the queue ;

Note:
Please note that this installation method has one drawback. If some tweak turns out to be incompatible with the iOS version installed on the device or will conflict with other deb packages, the iPhone or iPad may turn intoSafe Mode (Safe Mode). With group installation of tweaks, it is difficult to understand which addition caused an error, so you have to remove all tweaks and install them one by one.

Similarly, the simultaneous removal of multiple packages.

Tweaks queued for deletion will look like this:

Next, click onTurn in the upper right corner

And choose what needs to be done with the available queue

whereTo accept - remove queued packets.

For some programs, there are several files with settings for different categories.
