How to add a repo/source to Cydia [iPhone]

So, now that you’ve taken a look at some of the Must-Have repos for Cydia, here’s how you can add one to your Cydia and install custom APTs to your iDevice.

  1. Tap on the Cydia icon in your Springboard [Home Screen].Cydia Home
  2. Wait till Cydia updates the existing repos. Once that is done, Tap Manage tab.
  3. Cydia Manage Tab

  4. Now tap Sources. This will show all the existing repos in your Cydia.
  5. Cydia Sources Tab

  6. Now tap the ‘+’ sign on the top right corner of your Cydia. This will throw a dialog box that will allow you to type the repo’s address.

And you’re done. This will do all the magic and will add the repo to your Cydia’s DB.

Note: Sometimes, Cydia may throw up and error saying that the repo is not reliable/authorized. You can add that repo with no issues if you know that the repo is safe. I highly recommend you to use the repo’s that I’ve mentioned and I’m sure that would satisfy all your jailbreak needs.
