TuT Solution to VERY slow App Store downloads.

CoreCreation · August 25, 2015

So every now and then after you download a new Cydia tweak or new app(won't state from where) you find the App Store downloading takes FOREVER!(even though your connection is phenomenal. You wifi speed is PERFECT. You have the only device demanding download in the house. And your right next to the router with 3 bars.) I seem to accidentally found a solution. I don't know if it's related but after enabling the tweak(it's even disabled now and it still works. While on my iPad witu same network(expect it's 5ghz which should be faster then 2.4) where I have not downloaded the tweak it still takes FOREVER!

Never posted a how to tutorial before so for all that "like to find out(which I don't care either way. But it could be a forum requirement so I'm just stating now)" but here's how

1. Download flex 2.

2. Go to the second panel on the bottom(the cloud) and find the App Store.

3. Download App store NoDowloadLimit patch(supposed to be for multiple downloads only[not for slow app downloads] but it seems to have fixed the speed in every way)

3 go to first tab and press the checkbox for the patch so it's highlighted. It may prompt you to restart springboard.

4. VOILA! You should not have problems download from the App Store anymore. In fact my apps seem to skip while downloading(the progress bar jumps from 1/16 to 4/16 or something like that) so perhaps it's even after download then without.

I take no credit for this patch as I am not its creator. However I know other have had this problem(I always have it on all my devices). And decided to post my accidental findings

Tested on iOS 8.4 iPhone 4s

ENJOY!

Edit: after disabling flex 2 with icleaner pro and a reboot it does not work anymore... So piece of advice to the people like me trying to save ram. Don't disable flex 2 with icleaner pro or it will stop working .

Can't find "unlimited App Store speed" in Flex 2.

CoreCreation · August 25, 2015

I had forgotten what it was called... I looked it up and it's App Store NoDowloadLimit. Edited.(I had called it unlimited because that's the first thing that came to mind and I didn't want to lose my post by switching apps and having to rewrite it... Easier to just fix it after)

My apologies

OMG. You're such a lifesaver. This actually made my downloades A LOT faster than I thought it would. Thanks so much for your help!!!

Haha no problem. I was looking up how to disable notifications center on iOS 8 and found the only way was a flex 2 patch. And then I came across this patch

and remembered how annoying waiting for multiple apps to download was. And then it worked for the speed too 0.0 I can't believe this works myself
