TWiki Announcment

Hi there, welcome to my personal Wiki. I named it TWiki only because T is a special letter for me and my family. It is not powered by TWiki anyway! Have fun!

iPhone

Mac/PC SCP/SSH client

Linux: Filezilla
Mac: CyberDuck/Filezilla
Windows: WinSCP (SCP/SFTP)/Filezilla

MobileTerminal
MobileFinder
iFile (better than MobileFinder)
SBSettings
SysInfoPlus
BossPrefs

QuickGold (It's QuickSilver equivalent on iPhone, I don't like the ad...)

Backup and Restore Cydia packages:

As Cydia is based on dpkg package management system  Debian GNU/Linux
  1. SSH to the iPhone
  2. dpkg --get-selections > /private/var/mobile/Media/installed
  3. Use SCP tool (WinSCP, Filezilla, Cyberduck) to copy the installed file and save it on you computer file system
  4. Hook up the iPhone with your computer and do a full backup before upgrade
  5. Upgrade to the new firmware and jailbreak using QuickPWN or redsn0w
  6. Manually install OpenSSH Server as we need to transfer files
  7. Transfer the installed file to your iPhone, for example /private/var/mobile/Media
  8. apt-get update && dpkg --set-selections < installed
  9. apt-get dselect-upgrade
  10. rm /private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.Installation.plist
  11. killall SpringBoard
Note: Step 10 and 11 ensures that SpringBoard check all apps and regenerate the icons.

Also, there is a tool called AptBackup in Cydia, for non expert users.
