How to Get Installer (Cydia Alternative) for iPhone & iPod Touch.

A few days back, Infini-Dev, the Installer guy successfully ported Installer on a jailbroken iOS device running on iOS 4.3.3. Installer is a Cydia alternative and the worlds first third-party app store introduced by NullRiver. You can install and run third-party apps via this app.

Here are the words on how Installer works, according to the post on their website:

Installer works with a different system than Cydia, that way you won’t be able to add a Cydia repo into installer. As we speak, we are working on a new community source for installer only, which means you will be able to install things via installer.We could use help, you may help us by submitting apps that where hosted by installer, or apps that have the installer structure. Or by making app with a installer structure.
Right now, Installer claims to work on every single iOS released after 2.1, even on 4.3.3

Follow the instructions below on how to install Installer on iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad:

1. First, jailbreak your device. If you haven’t yet jailbroken your device follow these posts. To jailbreak your iOS device via sn0wbreeze follow this guide and for Redsn0w [Windows] follow the guide posted here.

2. Open Cydia -> Manage -> Edit and Add the following source:

‘http://fr0stdev.co.cc/repoa’

3. Once you have added the source, search ‘Installer’.

4. Tap install, the installation process will begin and will take some time. You will be notified when it’s complete.

Lima: Browser-Based Cydia Alternative

Don't forget to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Anyone who has jailbroken their iPhone in the past knows too well about Cydia and the applications available through that store. Cydia has been around for quite some time and given many developers the chance to bring their creations to the market by going around Apple’s restrictions. Lima is a new project by Infini Dev Team that aims to complement and maybe even replace the current third party application installers for iPhone.

Unlike most application installers, Lima will be browser based. That means users can just use their iPhone browsers to add applications and extensions to their phones. The idea behind Lima is pretty solid. From the above video, we can tell it is not that hard to use. It does seem the folks behind Lima will block top repositories that include pirated copies of applications.

Lima is very much a work in progress at this point. The developers have not offered an estimated time of arrival.

How would you improve it?
