How To Create a Cydia Repository

What is Repository (Repo) :

A way of a developer distributing apps through installer/cydia. For example: Once you(a Dev) makes a repo you put your apps in it then can distribute the link of the repo to others so they can install your apps via installer.

What you will need to start a Repo :

  • A computer running a Linux Distro ( maybe latest version of Ubuntu.)
  • A website where you have FTP access to host the repo
  • Files that you will copy to two directories on your Linux machine . Get them from here
  • Any app or theme, because nobody wants an emtpy repo

Google Analytics Finally Arrives For iPhone and iPod Touch

analytics

I was waiting for this for a loong looong time. Finally Michael Jensen decided to create such an application for this wonderful device. If you are a blogger, or a website owner, or basically you got anything going own on the www. , than i can place a safe bet that you are obsessed with this word ” analytics ” . I was until like 2 months ago. I was checking my stats every hour. Until i realized that, it was useless to do so.

That doesnt mean, that i stopped checking my analytics. Not at all, but now i calculate every move i make in this world. Anyway, this post is not about me teaching you how to blog. So let’s get back to the main subject. GOOGLE ANALYTICS ON MY ( and yours ) iPhone !!!!!!! I was really surprised when I’ve stumbled upon Analytics App.com

When you first load the app , it will ask you to insert the email address and the password that you use to login into your Google Analytics account. This is usually your gmail address and password. Once you are logged in, you step into the wonderful world of analytics, but now, this world is ON THE GO.

Continuing this post is useless. If you are interested in something like this, and you are reading this post, that means that my writing journey for this post stops here. I don’t need to explain any further what is analytics, what you can do with it and so on.

I will attach screenshots of this app below, and you can click on them to enlarge the pic and see what this app can offer you.

hClipboard – Globally Copy and Paste for iPhoneOS

New day, new app in Cydia and it’s called hClipboard. hClipboard is a globally copy and paste solution for the iPhoneOS 2.2 based on iKeyEx.When the keyboard appears, switch to hClipboard by tapping the International button ( the Globe ). Than hit the copy button and now the entire text should now appear on the top of the clipboard.

Copying a portion of text

Move to the begining of the range of text that you want to copy. Than tap the “select from here…” button, than move to the end and than tap the ” select to here…” button and “copy” button ( which is the same button ) again. You can use the “move to begining” and “move to end” button to aid navigation.

Copying Webpage Content

You have to install a bookmarlet in order to copy from a webpage content. See CopyingTextFromSafari for instruction

Pasting

Just tap any item from the clipboard to paste it. The item just paste will move to the top of the clipboard.

Deleting from Clipboard

Swipe horizontally on any items will reveal a “Delete” button. Tap this button and the item will be gone.

Templates

hClipboard supports a secondary clipboard called Templates. Hit the Switch to Templates/Clipboard button on the lower left corner to switch between the two.The main difference between Templates and Clipboard is that Templates can hold infinitely many items, while Clipboard has an upper limit of 10 items. Therefore, Templates is better for storing  more permanent text like user name while Clipboard is better for temporary things like activation codes.
