Alright, this is going to be a short one. This is a short tutorial on how to use Installer.app, which just showed up on your springboard, if you used my method of jailbreaking.
Just to be safe, Restart your phone. (You should know how by now)
And sometimes, the springboard gets screwed up during booting, so check and open an application, see if you can touch things within that application, clock works pretty good for a test.
If you can still touch things, then move on
For faster results, connect to wifi before beginning, EDGE sucks.
Touch the Installer.app icon
It will say "Checking sources..."
Then "Refreshing sources..." until the bar is finished.
At the bottom are 5 Tabs.
The first, Featured, which to me just looks like a webpage, is useless to you.
The second, Install, is really important, my next post will cover things to install right away!
Third, Update, is also really important, as you want most updates that come out.
Forth, Uninstall, is pretty handy for when you run out of space,
and finally,
Fourth, Sources, which you probably wont use ever.
How to use:
Install:
Tap the install tab.
Now you see a list of folders, All Packages, Recent Packages, etc.
Good.
Now click one of them, lets say, All Packages
Lets install something you should install first.
Scroll to "Community Sources"
Tap it.
Tap "Install", in the top right corner
Tap "Install"
Wait for download, then installation, then because it is a source package, it will refresh your sources again.
How to use: Queues
When you tap Install, you are given the choices to Install, Add to Queue, or Cancel.
If you add to queue, you add the package to a list of packages to install. Sometimes, when a package errors before it installs, it will add itself to the queue. Most of the time, I dont use the queue, but when there is an error, click "Clear Queue"
Thats about it, refresh your sources to look for better versions of applications
