So for those of you who just recently purchased an iPod touch/iPhone or made the mistake to upgrade, be strong. The end of this suffering is near!

**Note: “SB” settings stand for SpringBoard settings.

To access your SBSettings home, simply swipe your finger at least 50 pixels across the status bar.What will come down is this:

Here you can right away see 4 main options, Brightness, Processes, SSH and Wi-Fi.

The brightness tab is pretty straight forward, simply press the button and adjust your brightness on the fly, without have to exit whatever you are doing, go to the settings application, waiting for it to load… etc.

The processes tab allows you to view all applications running in the background, so if you find that your device is running a lot slower than it should be, try ending a few useless processes this should make a lot more memory available and allow you to continue using your iPod Touch/iPhone nice and smoothly. There is also a “Free Up Memory” button, will free up any available memory to make your device faster.

The SSH button lets you toggle your SSH connection. If you have no idea what SSH is, or how to use it, go to this tutorial. Disabling this feature can help save battery power, which is great when you are already running low.

And finally, Wi-Fi. Same as the SSH button, you will toggle your connection to the internet, which will save more battery than just by disabling SSH.

Now, for the smaller icons, there is: More, Refresh, Dock, Respring and Power.

By clicking on “More”, you will close the SBSettings drop down menu and open the actual application. you can now adjust a lot more that just brightness.

Firstly, is the themes pages. Yes, you can apply themes to your SBSettings menu, there are 4 main ones already given, however Cydia offers a wide array of themes created by other people.

Then there is the “Set Toggles” tab. The name of the tab is pretty self-explanatory. You can add to the 4 main toggles. A very useful one to have is “Fast Notes”, for when how have to take something down real fast, but don’t have a pen or a piece of paper and loading the notes app would just be too long.

Next on the list is “Dock Applications”. As I mentioned before, on your SBSettings drop down menu there is a Dock button, here is where you select the applications you wish to be placed there. Let’s say you have an application that you don’t use, but still sometimes need to access and find it a waste of space on your home screen, you can select that application so that it goes to your SBSetting dock. By doing so, it is out of sight, but can still easily be accessed.

The “Hide Icons” tab lets you select apps that you don’t want one your home screen but then cannot be accessed through any means, except by “unhiding” them.

The next tab, “Mobile Substrate Add-ons” is used to toggle faulty add-ons so that they can then be removed through Cydia.

Extras are little options like memory in status bar, numeric battery and much more.

And finally the last page, “App Folders” simply gives you the directory in which a chosen app is found. The point? We haven’t really figured that out yet really, seeing that all AppStore apps are in the same directory and Cydia in one own.

So that’s it for the “More” button on the drop down menu, so lets get back to that.

The refresh button will refresh your IP info, available storage and available memory.

The dock button, as I said previously, allows you to quickly access apps pre-selected in the “More” page.

The “Repsring” button will simply respring your device. This comes in handy when, for example, you are transferring files through SSH and need to update your device.

And last but not least, the “Power” button. When pressed, you are given 4 power options. Reboot (useful if your lock button is broken), Power Off (also very useful if lock doesn’t work), Lock and Safe Mode, this is especially useful if you have just installed a cracked application and it keeps crashing, put your device in safe mode and it might run perfectly, if not, the .ipa is invalid.

1. SSH into your device by using your favorite SSH client
2. Go to /var/mobile/Library/Cookies



3. Right-click on Cookies.plist and the select Properties
4. Set the permissions to 777 and press Ok



5. Respring your Device and you are done!

There are many programs available on the internet to make improve your iPod experience, ranging from file browsers to video converters. Here is a list of programs Slus and I use almost daily to manage and edit our devices.

1. WinSCP is an SFTP client that allows you to browse your device’s internal files through a Wi-Fi network, here is the download link, and here is the link to the tutorial, “How to Use SSH“
2. CyberDuck is the same concept as WinSCP, but for mac, to download follow this link. It is also in the How to Use SSH tutorial.
3. Iphone Folders lets you access internal files without the need of a wireless connection. To download it go here.
4. WinAVI MP4 Converter lets you convert videos from AVI to MP4 so you can have you favorite movies and videos on your device. Go here to get it.
5. TouchCopy is lets you copy your files, whether they are videos, songs, podcasts or photos from any iPod device to your computer. This software is also compatible with Mac and PC. Follow this link for more information.
6. Dropbox lets you access your selected files from anywhere in the world, even if your on the go. There is a free Dropbox application available in the AppStore. All you have to do is download the software and follow the instructions on this link.

These programs should substantially increase your iPod experience and that is why Slus and I recommend them, because they are extremely easy to use and quite evidently useful. Eventually we will add more, some will probably replace others or some may get out dated, but we will keep you posted.

The reason the title is Install0us with a 0 and not a o is because the creator of Installous 1.0, puy0, has gone independent. This tutorial is about install0us 2.5 since version 3.0 is not officially released. When it will be released, another tutorial will be made but for now this is what it is

___________________________________________________________________________________

After you have followed this tutorial, Go back to your Springboard and select the install0us icon

After the app loads, you will see a blank screen, 4 tabs at the bottom. (Browse, Downloads, Settings and About)

The Browse tab:

This tab will allow you to enter a URL and be able to browse websites that give out cracked IPA files (Games and Apps)

For example appulo.us/appdb.

You may also notice that there is a little icon that looks like a house. That is because you will be able to set your Home Page so that when you click on that icon it brings you back to the page you want. You will also find the forward and go back buttons and the refresh page button.

The Downloads tab:

When you find an app of game you want, you have to download it in order to install it. You can have multiples downloads at the same time if you want. When you are downloading a file, a little number on top of the tab will appear to tell you how many files you are downloading. Once it finished downloading, it will automatically install the app if it is set so in the settings tab.

If ever you want to access your IPA file through SSH, the files are stored in /var/mobile/Downloads.

There are 3 easy ways to delete an IPA file.

1. You can either set Automatic delete on in the settings tab. This will delete the IPA automatically when it is done installing. (We suggest turning it off and deleting the apps manually)
2. You can also click on the edit button on the top right of the Downloads tab and then click on the little red icons and finally press on delete.
3. One last way to delete an app from the Downloads tab is by just swiping your finger on the app you want to delete and then select delete.

To reinstall an app if it is not deleted, just select the app and then select install

The Settings tab:

The Settings tab contains 3 different section.

1. Browser
2. Installation
3. Misc

In the Browser section you will find Home URL followed by “http://”
Here you can set your Home Page for the “Browser ” tab for example http://appulo.us/appdb

In the Installation Section you will find:

1. Automatic Install
   • If set to On, Once an app has finished downloading, it will install it automatically
   • If set to Off, Once the Download is finished you will have to go to the Downloads tab, select your app and then click on Install
2. Automatic Delete
   • If set to On, After the file has finished installing, it will immediately delete the downloaded file
   • If set to Off, You will have to manually delete the file, you will then have a backup of the installation if ever you change something the app and it doesn’t work anymore.

In the Misc Section you will find:

1. iTunes Sync
   1. If set to On, When you are going to plug your iPod to your computer, iTunes will ask you if you want to Transfer Purchases. This is completely safe to do and by doing it, if ever you need to restore your device, after jailbreaking your device and patching it, you will be able to sync all the apps back
   2. If set to Off, no apps will be transfered to the computer and if ever you have to restore and jailbreak your device, you will have to install all your apps manually.

The About Tab:

Here you will find all the latest news and updates for install0us, links to the creators forum and more.

DO NOT UPDATE TO FIRMWARE 3.1.3 or 4.0 beta!
