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

ClearCam – 4 MP Photos on iPhone

What’s up this is AnthonyKash from over at TheNovus.net. It’s a new day and a new app out on Cydia. ClearCam boast to take your 2 megapixel iPhone and turn it into 4 megapixels. The developer’s site is located at http://www.occipital.com/ . ClearCam offers “enhanced mode” which snaps 6 pics in 2.5 seconds and combines and enhances all the images to give you that nice 4 megapixel picture you’ve been waiting for. Because it’s a 4 megapixel image the photo’s can be enlarged with better clarity and visibly less noise.

This great app also offers the “QucikShot” setting which rapidly shoots off 4 pics and then chooses the best one and tosses the rest. The only downside is that this app costs $10 but the upside is it’s available for free , cracked wide open for all of us to use on the xSellize Cydia repo. To add the repo go to http://www.xsellize.com/ and sign up for free and add their source, xsellize.com/cydia/user-pass/ to Cydia where user is your user name and pass is your password. Now remember if you like the app go out and support the developers and buy it.

murda the funky space monkey edit :

Usually for a point and shoot cam , you dont need more than , lets say , 5 MP. Although i really dont see a 4 MP quality in the pics shot with the iphone using ClearCam. iPhone’s photo camera diaphragm is too small to capture all the light and details for a 4MP quality pic.

That being said, you should really try this app, because there is a minimal but visible enhancement in the quality of the pic. BTW : trying this on a natural day light wont serve you any good. The iPhone takes beautiful pics on those conditions anyway. Play around with it, see if it suits you, and like Anthony said ( glad you pointed that out ) : if you think that this app suits you, buy it!

Installous Scam on Twitter

Remember that yesterday i’ve presented you Crackulous Scam On Twitter ? Well… new day , the same story. But this time is not about Crackulous , its about Installous. It’s the same page, but not the same domain name.  Same price, same paypal address. PLEASE DO NOT BUY IT!!!! What’s next, Cydia?

As of right now Installous is not free. You may come across websites that claim to have a free version of Installous but these versions have viruses which log all your information including passwords, phone numbers, contacts, and send it to people so it’s best to stay away from these shady copies. A lot of hard work and development went in to making this brilliant application. It would be unfair if it was given for free. Right now this application costs only $10 for a limited time and this is a GREAT BARGAIN so buy it today from the Buy Installous page. Later it will be going up to $20. This application is in hot demand.
