How to Use Cydia: A Walkthrough

Author: Nic Elder   |   Posted under: How-Tos
Tags: , , , , ,

If you have used Installer.app in the past, Cydia should look somewhat familiar and be fairly straightforward to use.

Here’s a basic walkthrough to help you navigate through and get the most out of Cydia.

NOTE: This only works on jailbroken phones, see our 3G Jailkbreak Tutorials for Mac Users & Windows Users.

1. Click the spiffy new Cydia icon on your Springboard

You’ll see loading while it updates the sources and loads the welcome screen.

2. Upgrade Cydia

From here if you haven’t run Cydia in a while, or this is your first time running, you may get a notice about ‘Essential upgrades’. These are upgrades to the Cydia application itself that may be required for installing new packages and apps:

  • Press Upgrade Essential
  • Press Confirm to begin the download and install
  • Wait for Complete and press Close Window
  • Press the home key, and then re-open Cydia to continue

NOTE: After installing essential upgrades, it’s always a good idea to restart Cydia to make sure the new packages are reloaded. Repeat Step 1 to open Cydia again (though you probably already guessed that).

3. Update Applications

If you’ve installed applications previously you may see a numbered notification next to the “Changes” menu. This indicates that there are updates available for currently installed applications. For our walkthrough I’ll update the NES emulator I downloaded a couple of days ago.

To update applications:

  • Press Changes
  • Press Upgrade All (#) [top right of screen]
  • Press Confirm to begin download and installation

You’ll notice on the last shot that NES has disappeared from the list and the notification
(red 1) on the changes option has been removed.

NOTE: Changes also contains applications that have recently been added or changed, this is a good place to go to find new applications on a regular basis.

4. Installing New Applications

Let’s install something new. I love Pac-Man, and it just so happens that the developer of Mac-Man, a great Pac-Man clone, is available on Cydia under the games category.

To install an application:

  • Press Install [on the bottom]
  • Browse through categories to Games
  • Press Macman
  • Press Install on top right
  • Press Confirm to begin the download and installation

You will see it run through a series of steps . . . Downloading . . . Preparing . . . Complete.

  • Press Close Window

Now Macman is successfully installed, you should be able to hit your home key, wait for your homescreen to refresh, and a tempting new Macman icon will be waiting for you.

Let’s go eat some ghosts!

5. Removing or Reinstalling Applications

Ok, so now you have an application installed, but you don’t really want to play it anymore. Removing it is as simple as a few taps:

  • Open Cydia again
  • Press Manage
  • Scroll and find Macman
  • Press Macman
  • Press Modify [top right of the screen]
  • Press Remove (you could reinstall if you were having issues with the application, like it wouldn’t start)
  • Press Confirm to begin removing the app
  • Once you see Complete, press home and the Macman icon should be gone

6. Searching for Applications

One of my favorite features of Cydia is Searching.

I can find an app without having to go through countless categories because I can’t remember where it was located:

  • Press Search
  • Type part of the application name or description in the search box at top

The list is filtered as you type, and all matching applications are shown. Select one to install and follow step 4 above.

Remember a lot of applications you might have seen in Installer.app previously are not yet available because the developers haven’t updated them to work on the new 2.0 software.

Check the Changes section in Cydia daily for updates. Three new applications have shown up just in the time it has taken me to write this tutorial!

A few of my favorite apps already available on Cydia:

MiM (Make it Mine) by Erica Sadun
MiM lets you customize the carrier name on the top left of the phone. You’ll notice in the screenshots above mine has my screenname “w1kedZ.”

NES
NES is a fully functional Nintendo emulator. It loads ROM files that can be found in various places on the internet. It’s great for showing off or if you really love games like Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda.

BossPrefs
BossPrefs is a great app by BigBoss that lets you easily turn on and off different features of the iPhone. Currently, the version for the 2.0 software is only really useful for turning on and off SSH if you have installed the OpenSSH package from Cydia. It also contains Poof which will allow you to hide/show icons on the homescreen; a useful feature if you are like me and don’t want the original Stocks Icon on your Springboard because you never use it.

    “I love Pac-Man, and it just so happens that the developer of Mac-Man, a great Pac-Man clone, has just updated it to work on the 2.0 software.”

    Actually, it was written exclusively for 2.0, using Apple’s SDK. I think it’s similarity to Namco’s Pac-Man halted its acceptance to the App Store. He’s still planning to change the name and the characters so that it can make it to the App Store eventually.

    @iamse7en: Thanks for the info… I noticed it in the repo, and figured it had been ported. Either way it’s a great game, I’m glad it found it’s way to the iPhone community.

    jimbo on July 31st, 2008 at 2:42 pm
  7. 7

    @jimbo: How did it disappear, the only way to get rid of Cydia is to restore an original firmware from itunes. If you don’t have cydia you will have to run through the jailbreak process again (using pwnage for mac, or winpwn for windows)

    Have just jailbreaked my iphone 3g. Opened Cydia and was asked to perform essential upgrade. About a 3 meg upgrade. Started the upgrade and the Running screen is showing with ”Downloading coreutils…..” with the bar below 1/3 blue. It has been like this for 30min… How long does it usually take… How do i stop it if its frozen.

    Sometimes your internet connection might time out so if you just reboot your phone you should see it start to proceed with the download


    Gabrail on August 4th, 2008 at 8:55 am
  20. 20

    It might take a couple of tries to get it to complete but most of the time when you get to 50% or more you usually good to go

    its my first time to update some essential packages ..and when i started downloading…at first i thought it might work…but when i checked it back after 50 minutes it stuck ..i cant even return to the home page or turn off my ipod..but after like 20 minutes ..fortunately i can restart my ipod by forcing it(is it dangerous to do that?)..and i found out that i have 6 changes(?i didnt expected it because i thought it didn’t even working)..but i still have 4 essential packages to update…so what should i do??do i need to install the 6 changes first OR continue update the essential packages??i am afraid that it might stuck again….help me please!!!


    Zoe on August 4th, 2008 at 11:50 am
  22. 22

    @Zoe: The 6 updates include the essential updates as well… I recommend always doing the essential updates first. i also recommend closing and re-opening Cydia after installing ANYthing, whether it be an update or a new app. so… update essential… restart cydia… ‘upgrade all’ … restart cydia… install new app… restart cydia.. install another new app.. etc…

    I was wondering if you can get both cydia and installer on you iPhone? And if so how do you do it?


    keatonec on August 7th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
  31. 31

    keatonec: Yes, you’ll be able to. Most of the new jailbreaking tools (i.e. PwnageTool, WinPwn, etc.) should have options to install neither/one/both during the pwnage process. Additionally, Installer 4.0 might be available for download through Cydia.

    I am having the same problem as KeN (#26). The top section of my touch screen is frozen and I am unable to use the reload button, hence I cannot upgrade Cydia which I think would solve the frozen screen issue. I used iLiberty+ to jailbreak. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    do i have to do the whole jailbreak thing again? is this related to the news about Apple’s Ability to Deactivate Malicious App Store Apps from a website it has preinstalled in the iphone??
    please reply to my question i’d really appreciate it… thanks !!!!

    @Dalal: It wouldn’t be related to the reported blacklist. That list is still empty when browsing the URL. I’ve not experienced Cydia dissapearing from the springboard, however weirder things have happened. Have you tried restarting the phone (hold home+power for 10 seconds until the phone restarts).


    Nic Elder on August 12th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
  41. 41

    @LAW: If the phone freezes you can restart it by holding down home+power for 10 seconds. Cydia is an application that runs on a computer like your phone, it has been known to crash and/or cause crashes.


    Nic Elder on August 12th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
  42. 42

    @vic: Which apps are you installing that don’t have an icon. Some of the apps in cydia are services that run in the background, and some are applications that you run from the command line, not all will have icons. For instructions on putting ROMS on your phone see our SSH tutorial at How to SSH / SFTP


    Nic Elder on August 12th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
  43. 43

    @luke: If cydia crashes you may need to restart, hold home+power for 10 seconds. Occasionally I’ve had cydia crash and require me to do a restore of my custom ipsw in itunes again.

    I’m kicking myself bc I didn’t include installer when modded phone using winpwn 4.0 do I have to redo the winpwn process to ever get it, is there an easier way?


    GnubbyaBush on August 13th, 2008 at 1:45 am
  45. 45

    HELP! I installed the installer app through ssh, but now when i click on cydia to add or delete something, a box pops up everytime saying “Source error files list file for package ‘openssh’ is missing final new line”. I dont know what happened. Any advice? Thanks.


    ED on August 13th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
  46. 46

    @GnubbyaBush: The easiest way to get installer on the phone would be to let itunes do a full backup and sync, and then use the winpwn process again to restore the phone with a ipsw containing installer. You will be able to restore your backup after the firmware restore process completes. Manually installing Installer requires finding the files from somewhere, and SSH’ng them onto the phone, and setting permissions. I recommend the backup/restore method.


    Nic Elder on August 13th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
  47. 47

    @ED: I have no suggestions, other than follow the same instructions I gave to GnubbyaBush for restoring a jailbroken IPSW with Installer included. Sorry


    Nic Elder on August 13th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
  48. 48

    Nic, thanks for replying. So, what you are saying is that I can restore to 2.0, using winpwn version 2.0.0.4? I did notice installer on the latter version of winpwn, however it was missing on the earlier one. It was also my understanding that i could not restore to 2.0.1 using winpwn v2.0.0.4. Can you clarify? Thanks much.
    E.D.


    ED on August 13th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
  49. 49

    @ED: correct, 2.0.0.4 is the latest version of winpwn and supports the 2.0.1 firmware. You could also use the 2.0 firmware if you would like, but I recommend 2.0.1 since it has considerable speed fixes. Just do a full backup and sync in itunes, and then run through the winpwn process using 2.0.0.4 (make sure you download the 2.0.1 iphone software first)

    lakai on August 17th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
  55. 55

    @raz: It depends on which app you download. Some of the applications in cydia are command line applications that won’t have an icon.
    @lakai: That would indicate either a problem w/ your connection (try 3g, edge, and wifi). I just reinstalled libsigc++ using edge and had no issues.

    TIP: IF UR CYDIA ESSENTIAL UPDATE HANGS UP ON “DOWNLOADING CORE UTILS”, THEN DO THE FOLLOWING…

    Simply go to SETTINGS and TURNOFF auto lock that is Settings>Autolock>NEVER. the problem was that while updating, the phone would get locked automatically after 1 minute and thus break the Wifi/Edge connection.

    I have often found that when I choose to apply a springboard to via winterboard, it will only change the icons that came with iphone by dafault and will not change the rest of the icons. e.g. I applied ‘REVEAL’, and its beautiful but it only changed the first home screen (sms, date, photos, camera, you tube, stocks, etc but it did not change the icons of apps I bought from the app store.

    Why is it doing that? The illustration on cydia shows all icons changed for all icons, is there something I should change on settings or something? Please advise.


    Sleekgee on August 25th, 2008 at 10:55 am

    @Sleekgee: I haven’t experienced this. I believe it is up to the theme author to include icons for AppStore apps as well as native OS applications. I could be incorrect. I’ll install a few themes tonight and report back

    @Gus: I know there is no way to do it currently with the native iPhone sms application, but there is a jailbreak app called BiteSMS available in both Cydia and Installer. It may have the functionality you’re requesting. Try it out and let us know! If it’s useful I’ll do a review/walkthrough for it.

    Just got myself the officially unlocked iPhone 3G from Hongkong about a week ago. Just last night i tried using Pwnage to install Installer and Cydia. Was a bit skeptical as Pwnage jailbreaks iphone while mine is already unlocked from the factory. Nevertheless i went on and all works well with NO PROBLEM at all! It certainly makes me love my iPhone even more!! Thanks CYDIA!!

    ok, so i’ve got cydia and have a lot of apps available, but when i follow step 2 - 4 nothing ever installs correctly. i select the install and then confirm, it goes to the black screen and says Running, but before the blue bar has filled it goes back to the black screen and says return to cydia and no new apps appear on my homescreen. i also cannot update any essentials…. anyone know why?

    In connection withh the above inquiry, all apps i’ve downloaded are reflected in the “manage” files to be installed.
    problem is, how can I run it?

    Having downloaded winterboard to my springboard, I then downloaded a theme app called iGlassSol.
    This then went into my winterboard icon. I was able to tick the IGlassSol inside the winterboard, but it seems to have no affect on my iphone3G.
    Have I done something wrong?
