Help/Support Basic app help after jailbreaking (newcomer questions)

[Shovel 1 30]

Hello. I am on the iPad mini 1st Gen ios 8.3 jailbroken. I'm aware that Cydia Substrates aren't working. I have just started and I have 0 experience jailbreaking, hacking, or any of that sort.

 

Here are my questions:

 

How and what is a respring? What is a springboard? I looked on YouTube and Google and there's so many different ways to do this, I'm not sure which is the right way.

 

What apps do I need and which order should I get them?

There's appcake, then apsync, then Cydia Substrate then iAp then iGameGuardian(?) Then iFile. And so much more.... I currently don't have ANYTHING, I just have a jailbroken ipad.

 

I've looked for tutorials but I'm sure there are some that I missed/misread, please just point me towards them, thank you for your time.

Hello,

 

A respring is a soft reboot of your iDevice.

 

A SpringBoard is the same as your Home Screen where all the icons and apps are.

 

You don't have to get them in any order. You can install AppCake first then AppSync or vice versa but you'll need AppSync if you want to install the cracked apps you download.
