How to hide all ringtones and themes within Cydia [Jailbreak]

Posted on 06 Aug 2010 by Thomas

chpwn isn’t just the developer of InfiniBoard, InfiniDock, and InfiniFolder — he’s also a dispenser of sage Cydiatic advice.

One of the most annoying things about perusing Cydia for apps is scrolling past the 10 billion themes, ringtones, and wallpapers, and, before yesterday, I had no idea anything could be done about them. Then I saw one of chpwn’s tweets, which suggested that users head to the Sections tab and tap on the Edit button to selectively hide all of the things you don’t want to see. I then proceeded to hide about 50 sections worth of crap and threw an impromptu five-second dance party where  I was standing.

I’m still waiting on chpwn’s tweet about how to hide similar crap in the App Store, though.

      Haha I didn\’t even realize we had that info here, what with all the comments we go through. Good eye, though, and hopefully this post helps spread the word even more.
