Looking for Mobileinstallation 2.2? Use AppShare and Installous in Cydia!

November 24, 2008 · View Comments

in Tips, iPhone, iPhone Apps

After upgrading your iPhone to 2.2, you found out that you can no longer run your test ipa apps that were installed using the mobileinstallation mod. So you searched the net in the hopes of finding a mobileinstallation upgrade for 2.2, right? Ok, I can give you a link to such a file (yes, it exists) that you can download and then modify your iPhone files using the tutorial I made here. Or I can show you an easier way.

Of course you want the easier way… so here’s how.

Add the hackulo.us repo (cydia.hackulo.us) to your Cydia Sources.

Install the following files:

  • miPatch
  • Installous
  • Appshare (Update: Appshare is no longer available in Cydia. Function has been integrated in Installous!)

That’s it!

Of course, if you haven’t done it already, you need to install at least one app from the App Store (a free app is ok) before you can use your test ipa apps.

Use Appshare to download or directly install from a list of ipa apps.

Use Installous to view a list of all the ipa files you have downloaded from Appshare and install what you like. download or directly install from a list of ipa apps.

From your iPhone, you can sync these apps to iTunes.

The good news is, if you have a favorite web site from which to download these ipa apps, you can still do so and copy them to iTunes. Sync with your iPhone as usual and you’re good to go!

    mimota, Maybe you should try this alternative Apps search engine which is much faster.
    If you're using the new Install0us, set the following URL as your homepage: http://dotdoh.com/ipasearch

    installous wont download. it goes to last step of downloading. the one right after you have to type in what u seen in the little box that is case sensitive. so the white bar comes up wont fill and then says like 3050 downloaded. will not show any thing else and wont download anything. how to fix?

    Hey, for those of you who get this message when trying to install instaloous:

    Note: The requested modifications cannot be applied due to required dependencies or conflicts that cannot be automatically found or fixed.

    Install Icy http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/04/how-to-insta...

    Add this source: http://cydia.haculo.us

    Then search for installous.

    Install.

    This was bugging me for 3 days, since I couldn't figure out why it wasn't installing. You have to use Icy.

    I'm really stuck on this! Please help me. I've got iphone 3g, 16gb, jailbroken and unlocked. After I installed boss prefs and clicked on it, the iphone froze and now when I try to turn it on, it switches on, but the only thing that happens is that I get the Apple logo. That's it! nothing else happens. Tried to connect it to itunes, but itunes doesn't pick the iphone up, so I can't restore it. getting really frustrated on this. My iphone became a rock! Can't do anything with it. Can you please help?!

    I was installing Installous and I was at the part where it's installing the files so I have to wait right before the part where i press "return to cidya" only the screen went white for a split second then black. My ipodtouch 2g shut off on my..So now i redo my jailbreak to get it up and running. I'm at the part where i'm about to see my home screen but the white Apple logo is just sitting there, looking at me as if taunting me. It won't get back to the home screen. About 2-3 minutes go by and it just shuts off and I have to rejailbreak it. This app worked the first time without a problem but I had to restore then rejailbreak for other reasons so this is my second time installing this app. Any ideas that doesn't involve restoring and jailbreaking?

    Thanks.

    (Can i post this info in my web page?)
  • Some downloaded apps never appear in download section of installous.
    is it a bugg?
    I will keep trying with more apps to get any conclusion.
  • The file doesnt show up if it is not .ipa ; some donload link lead to .zip or .rar files.
    Go to Download folder and unzip/unrar the files, thats all.
  • Screw ipod touch
    actually no this is all bullshit I tried this three days ago, and all sources have been shut down. So try it again or somethin or this is fucked

    This app works great! I just upgraded to 2.2 from 1.1.2 and I feel like I've open Pandora's box here. Quick question: has anyone tried to download the ipa onto your local computer and then copying over to itunes and installing the app by syncing? I just tried and it didn't work - got the msg stating the app could not be installed b/c it couldn't be verified. Ipas that i down with Installous sync up fine. Do i have to move the ipa to User/Library/Downloads first and install thru installous. Please let me know!

  • pimpmaru
    will this process of installing ipa's delete all previously installed paid apps on the iphone? Do i have to begin the process with clean apps folder?

    and do i have the steps right,
    *Download and install the mobileinstallation file from the hackulous repo.
    *Download and install installuous from the hackulous repo.
    *Download and install the safari download plugin.

    With that i should be able to download and install ipa files directly to my iphone through whatever ipa website and installous?
  • John
    I Installed all the files and when i try and download an app through installous after i hit download from rapidshare or any other website it just says error and stays on the rapidshare page. any suggestions? the download wont even start

  • Have you downloaded at least one app from the App Store?
  • Soni
    Thanks your article above helped me, I recently upgraded Cydia, but after that I couldn't get any more apps through iTunes...I was about to panic, thinking that I wouldn't be able to get IPAs installed anymore, I simply did the app store buy/get an app and install thing first, then all went well. Thanks again for the useful info

    Is there a way so that we can download the IPA files on our computer, then put them on the iPhone and install them with Installous?

    Thanks.
  • Sure.

    Use the free DiskAid to copy your downloaded .ipa file to the following iPhone root directory:

    User/Library/Downloads

    On your iPhone, install from the Downloads folder in Installous!

    Hi - is there anyway to resume a download in Installous if you return to it later?
  • You need to finish your download, otherwise it will not complete and you will have to start over again.
  • Ati
    each time when i get download with Installous-appulous it take me to rapidshare or another web page its this ok?
  • Yes. There is no single repository for these apps.
  • Kris
    I've installed miPatch and Installous 2.0, however, when I download an app from Appulo.us and install from Installous, the app is not showing up on springboard.

    Any ideas on how to resolve this problem?
  • kmart2
    omg same thing
  • You should have installed an official app from the Appstore before.

    If so, try doing a reboot or installing the app again or try a different app.
  • Jani

    Thanks mate..Great app. Having said that, Installous is too slow and every time i download something i've to begin browsing from the start(home)..Is there any way we can resume from where we left off instead of browsing thru the whole thing
  • yuxel
    works like a charm with downloaded apps with syncing itunes.. although i couldnt find and install Appshare
  • Appshare has been removed from Cydia and its features have been integrated in Installous!

    Thanks for the feedback.
  • dimitris maris
    my phone always file cannot be open
  • yuxel
    np.. btw appulo simply rocks, bestter than appstore itself ;)
  • chris
    hey just to be clear .. do i use the phones browser to go to cydia.hackulous.us .. if so ive been doing that .. and it states to wait til cydia loads .. but its been running for like a half hour now .. how long does the process usually take ?
  • You need to have a jailbroken phone to use Cydia.

    Open Cydia, click on Manage then Sources.
    Click Edit and then Add.
    Type http://cydia.hackulo.us and Add Source.
    Search for the 3 files listed on my post and install them.
  • dimitris maris
    ive done everything by the book i cant get appshare i got only installous how do i get appshare
  • XxX
    Good idea but it lags big time
  • HR

  • Nonya
    This works like a charm.....Easier than playing with SSH & FTP..

    Thanks.
