You may remember us telling you about InstallerApp a while ago, yeah? Well, RipDev finally released InstallerApp version 1.0 – In case you don’t know, InstallerApp is an application by RipDev (Developer of Installer.app) InstallerApp allows you to install unofficial 3rd party application to your iPhone via your desktop over a USB cable. Absolutely perfect for the people without a Wi-Fi connection.
InstallerApp can install software in two flavors — when you initially connect an iPhone, it will ask you to install some required components (that is mostly the Installer itself and its daemon, an application that will respond to InstallerApp requests on the USB). This can be installed on any iPhone, and if it was not jailbroken before, then it will not even open the system disk for writing — this to guarantee the security and integrity of your system.
If you wish to install software that uses APT/DPKG (probably most known on the iPhone world after the graphical front-end Cydia), then the system partition will have to be open for writing (most dpkg packages won’t work otherwise) — and yes, InstallerApp can do that too by downloading a special “ramdisk” that contains the open source components (such as dpkg, and some essential tools) and “pushing it” to the iPhone. We have rebuilt the components on our own as the ones packaged with other solutions were not built with all diligence and patience as they should have been.
InstallerApp is $7 and works for up to 3 devices. If you got more than 3 then you can buy more than one license!

A few weeks ago, RiP Dev released a little neat application named, Hood. Today, they released an update for Hood. With all new features, new icons, bug fixes and yes, of course, still free!
From RiP Dev’s blog:
- EDGE Toggle. Unlike other solutions (actually, all
that I’ve seen around), this one disables and enables EDGE without
touching the APN settings. For this reason, when you disable EDGE, the
“E” icon will still be lit in the status bar (indicating that the
network is up) but the respective service will be effectively down.
This is much more reliable than before, and is actually the way Apple
meant to implement it – the code hidden inside Preferences.app does the
same.
- Settings. Now you can access settings of Hood inside of Settings > RiP Dev > Hood preference pane. Very easy and convenient.
- Process List. This feature is turned off by
default, but you can enable it in the Settings. Hood will show a list
of processes running on your iPhone, with the ability to quickly kill
any of them by sliding your finger across the process name (much like
you delete stuff in any table form on the iPhone). Be careful and don’t
kill stuff that you don’t know, especially owned by root – or you may
end up rebooting your iPhone!
- Assignable Buttons. Remember these four button
slots on top? Well, instead of creating a mess by stacking 16 icons
each doing something next to each other, we are letting you choose
which 4 options you want. Later on, when more toggles are added in (VPN
and SSH are next in line, by the way), you will have a wider selection.
Assignable in Settings, as well.
- Really Quits Processes now. Version 1.0 only
emulated the Home button press when you were hitting the Quit
Application button. Which means – Safari, Mail.app and others were not
completely closed (this is the same for most “other” managers too). Now
the applications are properly killed and the memory is instantly
released – as you can see on the pie chart.
- New Icons. Thrasos Varnava did us a big favor and made up new and improved icons for the toggles. Thank you!
- Bug fixes. Fixed a bug with Hood staying open when
you lock the device with it open (or it auto-locks). Also fixed a few
other cosmetic bugs.
- Still free! Hood was and will remain free and lightweight tool, thanks to your comments, support and suggestions.
Hood 1.1 is available now in the Installer.app category Utilities.

Jailbreaking and unlocking haven been going on too well today…i tried jailbreaking 2 phones today and both had its own set of problems….both relating to cydia and installer.
Cydia’s and Installer app’s problem
I had to download Cydia to unlock the 1st gen’s iphone baseband cos of the update of the firmware from 1.1.4 but cydia’s source for downloading bootneuter was down! I tried getting it from installer app but install app is really really slow and buggy…it sometimes just crashes and closes the app on its own! This is Really annoying! I can’t believe it that today is such a bad day for iphone jailbreaking!!! Damn i hope they release an update for both cydia and installer from now on…. The main source that i feel that was down was big boss and also the source for installing winterboard!! Winterboard just won’t appear in the search in Cydia…
Pissed Off!
