ow to Use CYDIACydia is the new and improved source for all your third party apps not found in the AppStore or regular iPhone. Over 500 applications and extras for download - free of charge! Below is all you need to get the most out of Cydia and its features: 1. Click on the new Cydia icon on your Springboard.
Wait patiently while it loads all sources and takes you to the welcome screen. 2. Upgrade Cydia (if required) 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:
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:
You’ll notice on the last shot that NES has disappeared from the list and the notification 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:
You will see it run through a series of steps . . . Downloading . . . Preparing . . . Complete.
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:
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:
The list is filtered as you type, and all matching applications are shown. Select one to install and follow step 4 above.
Check the Changes section in Cydia daily for updates. New applications are always being added and updated. Check Out Our Cool Cydia Applications for More Fun Apps To Download!

Cycorder is a Video Recorder for your iPhone. This is a powerful app that lets you record at least 5 hours of video and sound. Very good video quality. .
The only real functionality for Cycorder at present is simply this: clear, seamless video. It encodes immediately, so there is no significant wait time as compared with iPhone Video Recorder. You point, click on the round record button icon, and when finished, click it again. Your video is there to view in a list, immediately. It is also labeled clearly and without confusion. To begin recording just tap on the little round icon down on the bottom of the screen. It will then turn red which means recording has started. Just tap on the icon again to stop recording. Just tap on the upside down arrow on the lower left side of the screen and it will bring you to a list of all your recordings. There are no other features at present. Pressing the edit button simply allows you to delete the video. You can SSH into the iPhone to grab your video, but there is no interface to share or export your video from the phone. Features:
One nifty feature of Cycorder now is that if you exit the app while recording (pressing the home button), it will continue recording! This allows you to check on email or whatever while it is recording in the background!
Cycorder records in .mov format at 7-15 fps. The result is exceptionally clear video.
Cycorder is very easy to use and will bring the most out of your iPhone. Enjoy!!!
