hey is everything free no matter what you do?

[Pinksalamander]

When I said, " Nothing is free legally," I meant that nothing that cost money will be free legally, but already free apps are free legally.

Some cydia apps cost money. Nothing is free legally. You can get free apps using installous, but as stated in the instructable, it is not legal. You can also get free in-app purchases by downloading something called iAP Cracker in cydia, but you have to add another source, and I don't think it's legal. There is a source that allows you to get copies of cydia apps for free. It's just like installous, except when you search the cydia app you want in cydia, there will be two of the app you are looking for. One will be free and the other one will cost.

how do i upgrade if i didn't get a notice?

[lukethebook333]

Simply go to changes under the bottom bar, and click to update, then you can install all the updates at once or one at a time by clicking on them.

I downloaded PwnCenter which allowed me to download "All Sources". It's better than manualy downloading every source.
