HowTo: Get BossPaper From BigBoss’s Beta Repo In Cydia

There is a reason why you couldnt find the app in Cydia. The app is available in bigboss’s beta repo, and you dont have it. Why? Because chances are that when you first load Cydia you chose the “User” Profile and the beta repo is only available for “Hacker” or “Developer” profiles.

If you already saw my previous article, BossPaper v0.91 Beta Released in Cydia For Testers , i bet you were loading Cydia while reading and searched for BossPaper. Changes are that (maybe) 98% of you didnt find the app in Cydia.

Well today is your lucky day because BigBoss released the beta version of the app in Cydia for you to test it.  BossPaper will automatically install logmailer because if you have any problems, I would like a logmailer output of your syslog. If you don’t plan to send syslogs to me when having problems, well then you should not try to beta test this. Of course the first non-beta repo version will not require logmailer.

You may be saying, “But Winterboard does that!” Sort of, but not like this. BossPaper can work with Winterboard (or without). Read on for details.

BossPaper is an upcoming iPhone/iTouch wallpaper app announced by BigBoss. It is a very configurable app, and it can work with OR without WinterBoard.
