Provides iOS users with an alternative to jailbreak, offering an easier way to install modified versions popular applications, such as Snapchat, YouTube, Twitter, WhatsApp, Vine, Instagram and others. Application Extensify, essentially a store for tweaks, can be installed without connecting to a computer. However, it will not allow the user to modify iOS itself.

This, of course, does not make Extensify any more secure than jailbreaking, since you are still downloading applications from unverified sources. However, the application is good way benefit from various tweaks and allows you to run modified applications that provide additional functionality.

The idea for Extensify came from developers Majd Alfhaily and Kevin Ko, who have made significant contributions to the jailbreaking community and know firsthand how long it can sometimes be to wait for a new jailbreak.

We don't consider Extensify to be a replacement for jailbreak, but to fill the gap between jailbreak releases.

The system works like this: you install Extensify through a configuration profile, then look for tweaks in the Extensify app store. The application sends a request to iTunes App Store, loads latest version host application, repackages the application along with tweaks (called exos) and then downloads the application.

For example, a Snapchat tweak will allow you to bookmark your feed and read them at any time, select multiple contacts at once, automatically save sent media, and much more.

Twitter tweak offers video download, native viewer for Instagram, viewing tool private profiles and so on.

Extensify does not store applications on its servers, only tweaks, and all but one of them are created by the Extensify team. The Snapchat tweak is the only exception.

At the launch stage, 25 tweaks are available in the app store. They only exist for demon paid applications and can be launched along with the originals (the tweaked version will have a “+” sign after the name).

But the creators say they will open the Extensify platform to other developers, whose apps will have to be moderated before they make it to the tweak store.

All applications will go through us before reaching Extensify. We need to make sure the tweak is safe. When using a tweak application, no personal information does not go through our servers. It functions like original application, just with improved functionality.

Extensify may face challenges regarding its business model - it will launch as a subscription service. It is planned that the fee for three months of use will be $8.99.

Since jailbreakers are initially opposed to paying for software and already have access to many tweaks, the company will have to appeal to users outside this audience. And it will be a fairly small niche. In addition, developers whose applications have been tweaked can take action against Extensify. In other words, it is likely that such an application will not last long.

Extensify developers are now sending out invitation codes for the app. Of course, whether to download it or not is up to you.

Some people install tweaks on their iPhone, iPod touch or the iPad does not cause any problems, but not everyone has this situation! Some people still don't know that tweaks can be installed without even starting Cydia! Now we will tell you all the popular ways to install tweaks! Perhaps some will learn a lot of new things, and some will consolidate what they have already learned!

We'll start with theory, let's get started.

.deb- extension of file names of “binary” packages for distribution and installation software in the OS of the Debian project, and others using the dpkg package management system. Deb this is part of the word Debian, in turn, formed from the words Debra- the name of the girlfriend (later wife, now former) of Debian founder Ian Murdoch and Ian on his own behalf.

Perhaps many users have encountered such files in Linux and its variants. But we don’t have Linux, we have iOS. Therefore we can say this:

.deb- these are packages that include programs, tweaks and other improvements for mobile operating system iOS.

Now let's move on to practice.

Installing tweaks from Cydia.

This method is the first and easiest. We will only use Cydia. For all operations we will need the Internet.

1. from which you want to download the tweak.
2. In the search, enter the desired name of the tweak.
3. After you have found the tweak you need, click on it and on the page that opens, click the “ install«

Installing tweaks using iFunBox.

Will need: PC with iFunBox + .deb package of the tweak itself.

Even if you have a dozen repositories installed, they do not guarantee that you will have the tweak you need. The easiest way is to go online and get the .deb package you need on some forum! But what to do after you have already downloaded the .deb package? You can’t install it as a simple application via iTunes!

1. Launch the iFunBox program

We see two areas:

1. Folder tree
2. Thumbnails of sections of the selected device.

We want to install a tweak on iPod Touch. it is connected by a cord, but also in our Wi-Fi networks There is also an iPad with which we can also work! But what we need now is the iPod.

Click on it in the folder tree, click on the “install applications from Cydia” section.

As you can see, we don't have any .deb packages in the queue for installation. We will transfer the installer of the tweak you need there from any location. You can also click on the “Copy from PC” button. Will open standard conductor, where you will have to find your .deb file on the PC.

After you have transferred to this section tweak, reboot your device.

After the reboot, the tweak will already be installed on your device and ready to use.

Note: “Some tweaks work together.” After the device has turned on, go to Cydia, select the installed tweak and click on “ Reinstall“Perhaps the necessary tweaks will be installed on their own!”

Installing tweaks using iFile.

You can install the .deb package without having a PC nearby, but having iFile (a program from Cydia) on your device.

Installing tweaks in the form of .deb packages looks like this:

1. Download the .deb package to your device, you can do this through any browser by clicking open in iFile after opening this file in the browser.
2. After clicking “Open in iFile”, you will be transferred to the program.
3. Click on the .deb package.
4. A menu will open with a choice of actions, click “Install”.
5. The installation will begin.
6. Just in case, we recommend rebooting your device.
7. Ready!

We told you about the main ways to install a tweak, of course, you will mostly install tweaks from Cydia - this will be the right decision!

We hope that in the future, installing tweaks will not cause you any problems, but, on the contrary, will bring only positive emotions and not difficulties.

Earlier this month, one of the creators of the unofficial iOS app store Cydia said that the time for jailbreaking had passed. This news extremely upset many users, since they used jailbreak not so much for free installation paid applications, how many for customization and advanced system configuration options. It turns out that jailbreak is no longer required to install tweaks, emulators and other applications banned in the App Store. With the help of the new application, users can easily install the desired programs on devices running iOS 10 and iOS 11.

The program in question is called Cyrus Installer. It is an application store similar to Cydia. With its help, you can install various emulators, such as GBA4iOS and PPSSPP, tweaks, programs for watching videos and listening to music, and modified applications on a gadget with iOS 10 or iOS 11 social networks like Snapchat++ and Spotify++ and stuff. All applications are divided into appropriate categories.

Installing Cyrus Installer on an iOS device is extremely simple. On the official website of the project, you need to click on the “Install Cyrus” button or go to the very bottom of the page and scan the QR code. After this, you will need to register with the service and install the appropriate profile. If everything is done correctly, the Cyrus Installer icon will appear on the desktop, from which you can already install various applications.

We remind you that you perform such actions at your own peril and risk. Applications in Cyrus Installer are not subject to the same moderation as in official App Store, so you may become a victim of scammers.

Is downloading them directly from the repositories of the online store Cydia. However, not everyone knows about alternative way installing deb extensions from the store (Saurik). Of course, you can only install tweaks on a jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

Why then do we need another method, you ask. But why. For example, if there is no constant access to a Wi-Fi network or the application itself Cydia refuses to start or works incorrectly.

The reason may be even more banal, in Cydia a repository in which the tweak is distributed for free has not been added, and a disinfected version of the extension in deb format has been circulating on the Internet for a long time.

All installation packages tweaks have the extension “ .deb“, only these and no other files can be installed using this method. Please note that sometimes extensions are packaged in an archive and must be unzipped before installation. So, to install the deb package using a PC you will need any file manager or . Both programs are free and available for both Windows and OS X. The *.deb tweak file downloaded from the Internet can be simply transferred to the folder Cydia-Installation or CydiaAppinstall(depending on the file manager). There is no need to search for it, each of the programs contains a separate link for this path in the access menu file system. Just in case, I’ll still say that the path to this folder is as follows: .
You can copy several required deb packages to this folder at once. Please note that some tweaks are installed along with dependencies (other tweaks), without which they will not work. Sometimes the authors of distribution of deb files include them in the distribution or save them in one archive; all of them must be installed along with the extension. After copying, just restart the iDevice; when you turn on the device, the tweak will be installed. There are cases when a tweak does not work entirely correctly; to fix the problem, it is enough to respring it in any available way.
The second method of installing deb packages allows you to do without a computer at all. In this case, you must have a file manager installed on your device. By the way, this application is a prime example of a deb application with big amount installation dependencies.
In Safari, just click on the link to download the deb file and the browser itself will offer to open it in iFile. By clicking on the tweak, you will see a pop-up menu with the function “ Install» (« Install"), she is responsible for installing the extension. After loading, just make sure that the last line of the text displayed on the screen contains “O”. This line notifies you about errors when installing the tweak. If an error occurs, you can do it differently: copy the deb file along the path /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall and reboot the iDevice.
