 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Lead (edit to existing paragraph)
[edit]packages are downloaded through known repositories. The default Cydia repositories are "BigBoss" (http://apt.bigboss.us.com/repofiles/cydia), "Cydia/Telesphoreo" (http://apt.saurik.com), "ModMyi" (http://modmyi.com/repo/), and "ZodTTD and MacCiti" ( http://www.zodttd.com/repo/cydia)[1] packages are installed through the list of repositories a user has installed. Apps are installed in the same location as Apple's own applications, in the /Applications directory. Jailbroken devices can also still buy and download apps normally from the official App Store. Most jailbreaking tools (each of them supporting a specific set of devices and iOS versions) install Cydia automatically, while others provide a choice to the user.
Article body (new paragraph)
[edit]the risks in jailbreaking are mixed. Advocates offer that developer tools installed from cydia can help add extra security to your device. This is done by changing your root password from the default "alpine", using a command prompt installed through cydia[2]. However being able to install unvetted third party software on to your device can cause data loss and malware.[3]as an extra measure, Cydia has a safe mode system in place. if a installed packaged causes a device to become irresponsive, safe mode would reboot springboard in a alternate state where all tweaks and packages are temporarily disabled[4].
