Help/Support Cydown Quick Question & A Repo Issue

XxUnkn0wnxX · July 5, 2015

first thing first has any one been having issues with sinfulliphonerepo? and it has been an issue for some time now. the repo is no longer state and its getting worse, its like sone 1 is constantly attacking the sinfulliphone domain and i noted that their forum constantly goes down.

so is there anything unique that sinfuliphone repo offers any more? if not it might as well go into the trash..

my 2nd question is: Cydown

i recently learned its existence. i used to use repo's like hackyouriphone etc for cracked Bigboss apps. now i am aware of ripbigboss repo and Cydown..

the authors site doesnt breakdown what each function does nor has the author replied to any of my tweets.

could some one here please give a short description of what each of the options in Cydown does? within the preference panel of the Mod.

Block Ads: blocks cydia ads

Show Percent Install: shows's total percentage of tweak install, but also tries to show total percentage when adding a new repo and it shows a blank page instead of the repo's actually updating.

Disable RestartSpring Board: not to sure but it may stop the function of the restarting spring board when a tweak needs it after install.

Auto RestartSpringBoard: auto restarts the spring board, instead of you doing it when the tweak needs it after install.

Manuel Refresh Sources: not to sure but i think it disable the auto Refresh sources function when you re-open cydia. thus forcing you to do it manually. (but what about adding new repo's does it disable the refresh on adding?)

Use in free: have no idea what this does? please explain?

Ask to remove caches packages: no idea either? enabled it once it never did anything.

Cached Packages: i assume after download of tweak it saves them instead of deleting them after install.

Official Server: uses the official download server of paid tweaks, which usually fails if there is no trial for that tweak.

i have listed an answer to what i al each function does but not all.

this may not be related to the actual title but is there tweak to like hide or disable selected repo's when refreshing all sources? so if a source goes down i can disable it for a while and make my repo's refresh quicker then hanging for like 10 min till the broken repo times out..

I've never had problems with cydown.

I choose a paid tweak, says it's already purchased and let's me install it.

i didn't say i had problems with cydown.. i wanted a proper breakdown of each function..

EG:

Use in free - i have no clue what this does. EG what happens if i turn it off? what will it do?

Ask to remove caches packages - nor i have a clue what this does as i had this enabled with Cached Packages function on and it did nothing. i would think it would ask me to delete the cached packed after tweak install but it didn't do anything...
