Installing Cydia Apps When There's No Wi-Fi Around

We take some highly advanced things for granted and some of us would be pretty annoyed when they're missing. Wi-Fi is definitely one of the things that everyone is used to. But what should you do if there is no Wi-Fi around and you just discovered some really cool Cydia apps

 

It is possible to install any Cydia app without a Wi-Fi connection but it's important to pick the best solution to do so. There are two alternatives, which are both reliable and useful. You can either use Cyder app or Gopher app (also known as iGopher). Both are pretty easy to use, though Cyder is regarded to be a bit simpler and user-friendly.

 

If you choose Cyder, you'll have to download it to a computer that's connected to the Internet. Unzip the installation file and connect your iPhone to the computer. When you'll launch the app, you'll see the repositories and you can add some more sources if you really wish. Click on the Packages button to pick the apps you wish to get. After you download them, click on "Synchronization" and on the green arrow to copy them to your mobile device. Reboot the iPhone and that's it.

 

Gopher has a pretty similar process of helping you download Cydia apps to your iPhone. Download the app and open the folder. Open the text file called packagesources. It contains links that represent sources for the installer. You'll have to copy the URL's from the text file to add sources. Save the .txt when you're done and connect your iPhone to the computer. Wait for the Gopher app to load. Then select the apps you want. Click "Clear Script" and "Export Script" to begin the download process. When all the apps have been completed, you should open the installer in your phone to see the apps you just got.

 

It's mandatory to have an USB cable to connect your iPhone to the computer with the Internet connection. It's always wise to carry one whenever you go as sometimes it might be easier to find a regular Internet connection than a Wi-Fi. But the solutions presented above will help you get the newly-discovered Cydia apps that you're interested in just by performing a few simple steps. You'll have fresh apps on your iPhone in no time though there is no Wi-Fi around. There are minimum requirements and the process works on any computer or laptop with an Internet connection.
