Archived
These projects are no longer maintained. Some repositories are archived (read-only) and some have been removed or moved, so links may be dead. They may still work on older firmware, but expect no fixes or support. Newer alternatives are listed where one exists. To install apps today, use KPM, which modern jailbreaks pre-install; see the wiki guide.
