Apple released the iOS 5.1.1 firmware recently and for those of you who have updated and jailbroke your iOS device tethered running iOS 5.1.1 with RedSn0w 0.9.10b8b, you are probably wondering if you can install cracked apps. The answer to this question is yes, and it simply requires adding a 3rd party repository, followed by installing a couple of Cydia packages.
The first package you must install is called AppSync, which will allow cracked applications to run on your iOS device. The second package required to install cracked apps on your jailbroken iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad is Installous. For those that would like a helping hand installing cracked apps to their iOS device you will be glad to know in this how to guide you will learn how to install cracked apps on an iOS device running the iOS 5.1.1 or iOS 5.1 firmware (also supports iOS 5.0.1 and iOS 5.0).
Install Cracked Apps On iOS 5.1.1 / iOS 5.1
Step 1) The first thing you will need to do is jailbreak your iPhone or iPod Touch running the iOS 5.1.1 or iOS 5.1 firmware tethered. If you would like help with this process go to the How To Jailbreak Section.
Step 2) After you ensure you are jailbroken you must launch Cydia, tap the Manage Tab, tap the Sources section and finally tap the Edit button in the top right corner of the screen.
Step 3) You should now see an Add Button appear in the top left corner of the screen. Tap the Add button now and type in the following source:
After typing the source above tap the Add Source button.
Step 4) With the Hackulous source now added into Cydia go into the Hackulous source by tapping on it and you should see AppSync for iOS 5.0+. Install AppSync for iOS 5.0+ and then restart your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.
After it has restart, launch Cydia again and install Installous for iOS 5.1.1 (Installous 4) to your iOS device.
You now simply need to find Installous on your SpringBoard (homescreen) and you can begin installing cracked applications on your iOS device running the iOS 5.1.1 or 5.1 firmware. If you have any further questions please leave them in the comments.
WARNING: Cracked applications are illegal. The whole premise behind cracked applications is if you would like to test an application before purchasing it from the Apple App Store. It is expected that after you download cracked apps to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad running the iOS 5 firmware that you either delete the app after testing it or purchase it from the App Store.
Note: iJailbreak.com does not support cracked applications. As it is our promise to report on everything to do with Jailbreaking, however, we have a responsibility to report on such news. If you followed this guide please keep in mind installing crack applications are illegal.
Foundpunk says
I really wish you wouldn’t have posted this. It’s the only reason why jailbreaking is in jeopardy of becoming illegal altogether
RoniXt says
“WARNING: Cracked applications are illegal.” But here’s how to get them anyway. This is a bogus disclaimer on two accounts.
1. Using cracked apps as trialware does not make them legal.
2. Methamphetamine is illegal, but here’s how to make it anyway. Do you see a problem with this statement?
Cracker says
This is so great thanks so much I love stealing cracked apps i have 20 million dollars worth on my iPhone of cracks.

IF YOU HAVE A IPHONE/IPAD/IPOD TOUCH IN DONT KNOW THIS ALREADY HANG YOUR SELF WITH THE USB
FuckApple says
i been using this since ages haha why did someone post it now?
Michael Schnier says
While I agree that there are very few whitehat reasons for using Installous, I can think of two justifications: 1) for installing apps which would be available for free outside your country but are utterly unavailable within it, and 2) if Apple pulls an app that is embarrassing to its interests from its store (such as Phone Story).
shovel shit says
maybe just release 5.1 untethered jailbreak!
Damian W says
the main reason apple is trying to stop jailbreak is because of what this article describes. We don’t want this to become mainstream
Mike Hunt says
Can you please give us more tutorials I need to steal some more apps screw paying people 99 cents this is so awesome.

Take this down if you want app store to stay up, because we are just taking their money and than they will become broke and than we won’t have apps anymore let the people that know about Installous enjoy it and let the word about Installous go by the word of mouth! LIKE IF YOU AGREE!!!!!!
