**Cydia in a Nutshell: A Comprehensive Guide**

For those who are new to the world of jailbreaking and Cydia, this guide aims to provide an overview of the various features and functionalities available within the Cydia app. Like Big Boss Mod My Eye et cetera, most of the tweaks are going to come from these as they're just the most popular. The only time you'll ever really need this screen is if you stumble upon a jailbreak to be featured on a website that is hosted in its own repo in that case you'll be required to come here click Edit and add and put in the provided repos URL before that tweak will be able to be found in the search section.

The next section of Cydia is where you can see a running list of all of the changes made to various tweaks throughout the city. A store sorted by date in alphabetical order. This section allows users to easily keep track of the latest updates and modifications to their favorite tweaks. The most part this section is where you can see a running list of all of the changes made to various tweaks throughout the city.

**Installed Tweaks**

The installed section shows you all of the tweaks you've installed if you change the tab at the top from user to expert you'll also see a list of the different packages that those tweaks have installed that they need to run but aren't necessarily tweaks in themselves. This feature is helpful for users who want to keep track of which tweaks require additional packages to function properly.

**Recent Tweaks**

Moving on, we have the recent section which shows you all the tweaks in chronological order instead of alphabetical. This section is helpful for users who need to get rid of a tweak that they recently installed as it's not quite working like they expected. If that happens, simply click on the tweak here tap modifying the top right corner and either reinstall it to try to solve the issue magically or remove it entirely.

**Search**

The search section is where you can type in the name of whatever tweak you're looking for and then ultimately install it. The only issue here is what do you type. The city of store isn't great at showcasing apps like the App Store is so the only real solution here is websites checking out some of the sites that showcase jailbreak tweaks or you can even check out my jailbreak tweaks section on my site below where I've done videos on some of my favorites that I think you should check out.

Once you find one you want to try out, start typing it into the search field and tap it when it comes up. After that, if the app is free it'll say install at the top right if it cost money it'll say purchase and if it isn't supported by your version of iOS which happens as new versions come out developers just aren't able to update their app to support it it'll say recheck to check if the app is now supported.

If it says purchase you'll tap that and be brought to the login screen for your Facebook Google Account that we mentioned before. You'll be presented with the billing screen after that where you can choose to pay with PayPal or Amazon and there's even a third option to pay with Amazon and have it save your payment info to make the billing screen just faster on future tweak purchases.

Once you've paid, the purchase will then turn into an install and at that point, you can click that click confirm to install the tweak. You can also click continue queueing to be able to find other tweaks once you have all the ones you want to install as generally the device needs to be rebooted or restrung which is the act of rebooting the home screen launcher only after each tweak is installed cueing them allows you to only need to reboot once after installing all of them together.

**Uninstalling Tweaks**

Next, you'll tap the reboot respring button when it reboots. You can either open the tweaks app if it has one or go to settings and scrolling down to the various tweaks and manage their settings. To uninstall a tweak, simply tap on the installed tab then the tweak tap modifying the top right corner and uninstall as I mentioned before.
