Apple iPhone School

Available In: Cydia

There were two new sources available to be installed through Cydia in the last few days. One was Sleepers.net and the other was MacCiti. Sleepers.net is a source that includes third-party software and themes. This source is maintained by Stan Weatherby (stan@weatherbytech.com). The second source, MacCiti, is a primarily a theme source and is maintained by Michael Babiy (michael.babiy@yahoo.com). Continue reading »

I found a few sources for the beta for Installer. There’s not a ton of stuff in there but a few fun things. I’m sure more to come.

Rip Dev - http://i.ripdev.com
Big Boss - http://apptapp.thebigboss.org/repofiles/installer4/
iSpazio - http://repo.neolinus.org/ispazio/
German - http://sendowski.de/iphone

If you haven’t heard of iAppcat.com you’ve got to check it out. You visit their website either on your computer, iPhone or iPod Touch and select programs you want to install. It then gives you one source to add to your Installer. They have a lot of other features like top apps, top repos, and sharing your source with others. My source is http://iappcat.com/r/7501 Just add that and you will see all the apps that I have installed or trust that aren’t in the community sources. I don’t add apps that are in community sources so there are no duplicates.

The point of this article is really about their new Migration tool. If you want to switch to a single source through iAppcat.com you can upload your LocalPackages.plist from the /private/var/mobile/Library/Installer/ folder. You will have to get this via SSH. It will import them all into one source automatically. Visit iAppcat.com/migrate to get started.

This website allows you to search through all of the availble sources and combine them into one source you can manage online. You just search for an app or source title and add it. Then you add your a custom made source just for you with all the once you chose. You can even manage them from your iPhone online. If you find a new source you can submit it and they will test it and add it. Some questions I have with this is if you install an app and then go back to tell a friend source you got it through, will it show the 1 custom source you added or the correct one? And if there is something new out from a source do I have to wait for iAppCat.com to add it to their site before I can find it? I guess there is only one way to find out Here’s a video demo by ipodtouched.net.

I’ve added more sources to our Sources page:

There is an update in the Installer.app to Community Sources version 3.2…the update changes the url for the Ste Packaging source to - psmxy.org.nyud.net/iphone-apps/repo.cache. Screenshot below:

Info from Ste:

The latest “Community Sources” package changes the location of my repository’s XML file. Instead of downloading it directly from my site, it will download it from a world-wide caching system. Not only will this eliminate nearly all the traffic to my main server, but it should update faster, for you, as you will get it from the cache closest to you. Continue reading »

There is an update to Community Sources in the Installer.app through the AppTapp Official source. If you used jailbreakme.com the Community Sources were automatically installed on your iPhone. Before the update the Community Sources included the Conceited Software and Ste Packaging sources…the update now adds ModMyiFone.com as a source. Screenshots:

Please read the following information very carefully…there has been a source titled JMCO - jmwiki.com, that was created with the direct intent of harming people’s iPhones! We do not have this source listed on our Sources page however, if you have added it from another place you will want to pay attention to the information below.

Note: Please remember to use discretion when adding sources to your iPhone. We have a list of all the sources trusted by AppleiPhoneSchool on our sources page.

It has come to my attention that the people responsible for the JMCO source jmwiki.com have intentionally created a malicious source with the sole intention of mucking up people’s iPhones.

We have recently added the following new sources to our sources list:

GravyTrain ’s Vault - iiispace.com/installer2.xml (A theme source that includes user submitted themes)
i.Marine Software: caissa.us (This is the developer’s source for the app Caissa)
imimux Repository - imimux.com (This is the developer’s source for the app Real Artist)
Jiggy Main Repository - jiggyapp.com/i (This is the developer’s source for the app Jiggy)
Makayama Software: tinyurl.com/2t8cax (This is the developer’s source for the app CameraPro)
MeachWare - meachware.com/list.xml (This is the new repository for iSwitcher)
Pyrofer’s Projects: pyrofersprojects.com/repos/repos.xml

Today, I found a new source (it is the creating source of BlockPuzzle though BlockPuzzle is also available in the installer.app through Ste Packaging Source, and that is probably how most of you got it!) called Soneso Repository. There are only two apps it the source at this time; BlockPuzzle and IP. But, both are great apps. I have added the source to our Sources page. It has not been added as a trusted source yet because it is so new…however, so far, I have not had any problems with the source itself or either of its apps.

Source Location: http://www.soneso.com/iphone
When you add the source, all its apps will be under the category Sonceso in your Installer.app .

See our Sources page if you need information on how to install a new source on your iPhone.

Please note, that because of the high demand for Apogee’s source, they bought a hosting server. Therefore, they had to change their domain name! The new source code is apogeeltd.com. You will want to go in and delete their old source code and re-add their new one! We have also updated this information in our Sources page.

P.S. We added a few other new sources to our sources page too!

Here is some themes from Apogee LTD, a new source that we have added to our Sources page as a trusted source. They also have wallpapers (see our Wallpapers page), custom docks and keyboards. I am very impressed with how they run their source. Check them out!

To install this source…check out our Sources page.

We’ve added a new source to our sources page and you can trust this one. ModMyiFone has published their own source at modmyifone.com/installer.xml. Just add it to your Sources in Installer.app. So far they have the following apps: iSnake, iPhoneSynth, Metronome and iToggle. There are also starting to add Summerboard themes. We’ve testing the summerboard theme and all the apps but iToggle and they are all working well with 1.1.1. Careful, you will get addicted to iSnake!
