Appsidy, the in-Cydia payment system alternative to the Cydia Store, is shutting down.

Opened a little before Christmas 2009, less than half a year later marks the close of the Appsidy store. Recent Cydia updates addressing privacy (Appsidy used the UUID of your device to verify sales, as does the Cydia Store) broke Appsidy’s ability to function well within Cydia, and after discussing the situation, they’ve decided to toss in the towel.

Saurik and  Dustin Howett just update Cydia to v0.9.3182. This updated concerns mainly iPad owners and while not 100%, they made great progress on WinterBoard’s iPad support.I guess people can start making 72px icons for their apps, and optimize their themes….

Some of you might be wondering why the new jailbreak “Spirit” did not install the Rock App., Or why Appsidy did not work after the Cydia update. Well let me share with you what I know.

The first thing you should know is that Appsidy, Rock Your Phone (Rock App), IntelliBorn are all the same people. Yup thats right. Last year when Appsidy first hit the scene, I made a blog post about it and the man himself Saurik, actually commented on the blog post saying: Read more…

Springboard rotator has finally been released in the cydia store for $1.99. The tweak as of right now has a lot of bugs and conflicts with apps such as infiniboard, five i rows, stacks and many other cydia tweaks. If you have a lot of tweaks installed I recommend to not install springboard rotator as of right now.

Also if you would like to try before you buy add http://theiphonespotrepo.net/apt to your cydia sources and check it out if it works for you before shelling out two bucks. Don’t forget to support the dev if you do actually use this!

New day, new app in Cydia: SecureContacts. This app will allow you to export all your contacts to a secure server and export them at any time as a CSV file.

Next tap on the Downloads tab to see the progress of your download(s). You will find all your downloaded vids in the Video tab, where you can also play the video at any time. Read more…

ScreenRecorder is a new application available in Cydia that lets you record everything that happened on the screen of your iPhone. It will therefore be particularly useful for developers who want to run video demonstration / tutorial or all other users with special needs.

The operation and the graphical interface is extremely simple. Wait for the countdown and automatically start recording the screen. Just put everything in the background and move freely among the pages and apps.

It is available in Cydia Store at a price of $ 1.99.

If your one of the many iPhone users who have unlocked your iPhone on OS 3.x, then chances are you’ve lost the ability to receive push notifications. I for one lost this ability with my unlocked iPhone 3GS. This was a big disappointment for me as I used the feature every day. I spent countless hours trying various fixes out there, including the PushFix found on various cydia repos (which really just made things worse), manually installingpush certificates, and even trying to generate my own certificates.
