Seems to be a lot of people asking how to install .deb in cracked app threads threads that require installation via .deb so I thought this would be helpful.

How-to:

1. Rename the file to something easier/shorter

When you download a deb it's usually something like 'Appname_1_7_98_01.deb' but later on you're going to have to type out this long name, so it's best to rename it to appname.deb.

E.g.

mywi.0.97.1.cracked.sg1.deb

to

mywi.deb


2. SSH into your phone (Millions of guides, so I'm not explaining this)

3. Place the appname.deb file into a folder (I usually just use /private/var/tmp/)

4. Open up MobileTerminal on your iPhone (Install via Cydia)

5. Into MobileTerminal type:

su
alpine
cd /tmp
dpkg -i appname.deb

(If you have multiple files to install just type the 'dpkg -i' line again, but obviously change the appname.deb to appname2.deb)

6. Reboot your iPhone

(7. SSH back in and delete the .deb files to save space on HDD)

another short way is just create a AutoInstall folder in cydia. just throw in your deb and reboot your phone n it's done

[schnedi]

you can put it into the folder

var/mobile

and just type

su
alpine
dpkg -i xxxxxx.deb

edit: can be deleted, worked via cydia (sorry guys, I forgot to try that)

how can I delete files installed via MobileTerminal?
(f.ex. MobileLog. Can't delete it from Home-Screen)
