iPhone Installer.app v3.0

Posted by dennis on September 5th, 2007 at 11:57pm Comments

Just several hours after we posted about v2.62, a new version of Installer.app for Apple iPhone is now available. Apple iPhone Installer.app is without a doubt the most useful unauthorized third party Apple iPhone program, as it simplifies the installation of other third party programs.

While there’s no distributable package download as of yet, those that have Installer.app installed can update to v3.0 via the auto-update feature. Those that don’t have iPhone Installer.app installed can get v2.4 and use the aforementioned auto-update feature.

iphone installer.app v3

At the same time, there are no noticeable changes to the interface and it’s not clear which features were added or changed.

Thanks for the heads-up and the screenshot to: Alex Marchuk

    How do i get Iphone Installer.app v3.0? Does it work on macs?
  • kethoth
    any idea if this will work on the ipod touch or if one will be made to work on the ipod touch?
  • The Installer.app should NOT be used for a few reasons.
    First of all, it's a closed source app in an inherently unsecure environment (everything on the iPhone runs as root). For all you know, it could be sending off your personal data.
    Second, its developer has done all kinds of things to HINDER the progress of open source developments for the iPhone.
    If you support open source and want a SAFE and SIMPLE way to install applications to your iPhone, check pxl.googlecode.com

  • ajit
    I have unlocked iPhone 1.0.2 working fine. while my wifi was on installer v3.0b was downloaded automatically, also witht his i saw many other items llike games and books n stuff. after downloading few games and books i could not see all the icons as it was more tha 16 icons. and niether i see rest if the icons downloaded. installer also went missing. so i could not uninstall these unwanted games or utilities. after trying hard i decided to installe installer 3.0b thinking it will salve the problem. but even after this and reseting my phone i still cant see rest of the icons but installer is seen. how can i go back to my old status? can i downgrade to old version of installer and remove extar games and unseen icons? why i cant scroll
    the extra cins like my friend who have 1.1.1 version phone. please i need your help on this issue. waiting for your reply with some simple solution as i am not a programmer or a geek who understands jailbreak or other terms.

    thanks
  • Chloe
    just re-install your installer:

    1. download Apptapp for windows http://www.iphonealley.com/news/appt...ndows-re...
    But if you have a mac OS they have one as well.
    2.Save this file to your computers harddrive, Extract the file. do not open or run it yet.
    3. Now Close the itune program which was running . check with task manager by presing Ctrl+Alt+del at same time to make sure it is closed.
    4. now open the file AppTapp which was exracted.
    5. let the program run by itself..it will pause at different intervals but dont panic...you will also see a yellow triange in your iphone screen Saying TO START iTUNE ...dont do anything...just let the program to finish what it was doing....
    6. your iphone will then reboot by itself...then slide unlock on your iphone...walla Installer Icon is back!!!
    7. this time make sure you open installer again and install rsbt or dock me i used Dock...now you can access all Icons 16+++ which can't be seen on your iphone's front screen

    No one Answer how to upgrade to Installer v3...
    PLEASE ANY IDEA HOW TO UPGRADE FROM INSTALLER V2.6 TO INSTALLER V3.
    I tried through update tab but nothing is there....

    PLEASE YOUR HELP
  • Tariq
    sup, you can only scroll up and down on the front page if you install the mod. move left and right until you install the scroller, if you ever do.
  • Matt
    Those of you with to many apps for your screen to show them all, you need to install summerboard. It allows you to have a scrollable application screen. I think you may have to install customize too, but I'm not really sure about that one. Basically you installed all the programs except the one you really need.
  • Daniel
    How do I uninstall the installer?
  • greyman25
    My Installer disappeared after a flurry of app installations. I think this problem is so basic that a lot of the people on forums and developers are offering help which is way past over the heads of the newbie Iphone non-tech types like me. Try this work around using Nate True’s iBrickr version: 0.91. It works on Windows or Mac. First install Ibrickr on your PC or Mac. Follow the instructions in the site http://cre.ations.net/creation/ibrickr, download the Zip file, extract it to your desktop, and run ibrickr.exe. When it says Welcome to iBrickr! You are ‘Ready to rock! Pick your poison: ‘etc. Click Applications. On the Applications Manager click Browse Applications then scroll to Dock v2.06.and install Dock application to your IPhone. Allow up to 30 seconds for the install to finish - your phone will soft-restart when it's complete. This adds a little sunburst icon to the lower corner of the screen. From here you can now view your Installer and whatever else 3rd party apps you have added. I am not sure if the unhacked versions have a way of avoiding this problem but maybe I reading the wrong help sites. If you have a hacked phone then skip the part where Nate tells you how to jailbreak the phone and restore settings through Itunes. Watch the video and I hope this helps.
  • none
    MISSING ICONS SOLUTION---you need to install "spring board" from the installer. that would give you the ability to scroll the screen to the left, Then you will see the rest of the missing icons

  • MrCyberdude
    Im having the same problem, i can see installer.app but it is returning to the home screen after 1 second.

    How can i manually install installer.app via SSH? Any links to the download or tutorial?
  • arun
    i have iphone of firmware 1.0.2... i installed the installer aplication v2.63....now whneva i update via sources on installer after downloading it shows error saying"flie size mismatch" plzz can nyone help me out???
  • mourad
    yes i am having the same problem too of the mismatch size as well the youtube is not working could any one tell us what to do??
  • MrCyberdude
    OK i have a solution that worked for me....
    I am not sure how it happened, either from the installer or my own mistake but when i SSH'd into my iPhone i discovered that i had my entire Application Directory replicated within the Application directory. Very strange..
    ..
    Before i discovered this i could not successfully copy the Installer.app folder into the Application directory. After removing the duplicate directory i had no problems at all and next reboot all was well...
    ..
    It is possible that if the folder Installer.app is replicated anywhere else within the Applications folder this may cause issues.
    ..
    I have 1.1.1 using WinXP via wifi and used the http://hackthatphone.com/downloads/Installer.zip for a fresh copy of Installer_3.09b.
    My settings for copying with winscp406.exe were to copy with settings on binary and permissions set to 0755.
    ..
    Hope that helps.
    ..
    MrCyberdude.
  • arun
    hey cyberdude but i have 1.0.2.... and my installer dosnt show any sources, installs. It just shows one update of installer 3.0b8.wich i cannot download
  • besho
    nice moooooot
  • Jadie
    I have 2 iphones, one gets this weird msg "file size mismatch" and the other one, i've Installer 3.0b10 should be updated, but I get an error says "package download failed" even if my wireless is great...
    Anyone help!?
  • hassan
    thats great
  • MrCyberdude
    What i also found that helped was to ssh in
    and start deleting a couple of the Applications
    folders that i did not need... Try this first to
    make some more space in the system area.

    Then hunt down an app called BossTool
    from ModMyiFone.com
    This will give you the option to move things
    like Fonts and Ringtones and that automaticly
    gave me back around 80MB on the original
    300Mb OS partition.

    There is even an option to move all Applications
    to the 7440MB partition

  • Matt
    Installer is having a problem with STE Packaging Site. If you check out the STE Packaging site, he said he is having more problems with his host because they are not supporting their part of the bargain. So that has nothing to do with your phone, but rather the hosting, but yes, upgrade to Installer 3.0 ASAP.

  • I have a jailbroken iphone 1.1.3 with the app insaller i downloaded a few packages but now it says there was an error downloading the package everytime it ry. What should i do?
  • Tarun gupta
    Hey guys Even i had the same problem with my new iphone but now I HAVE THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR IT...
    the reason we are not able to install applications because the disk space on the phone is full. Actually the iphone is divided into two disk spaces , one is only 300 mb and another about 7 GB. so if we are not able to install anything it means that our 300 mb is full. In order to fix it we need to first uninstall more than 2 mb of application and then finally goto install section and install an application called BOSSTOOL and using this app we have to relocate our applications from smaller disk to larger one. I can guarantee you guys that this would work out for you as well. let me know if you still have any problem
  • mine wont even let me uninstall
  • Amy
    Yeah, I got the same thing, it does not let me uninstall !!!!
  • MrCyberdude
    i gave a solution back on
    January 23rd, 2008 at 10:22 am
    and also on
    January 30th, 2008 at 1:44 am.

    Make some space first.... on the iphone system partition.

    One way is to do this via SSH.

    Then installer.app should run.
    Then uninstall a few apps.
    Then install BossTool.
    Then RUN BossTool.
    Then move Fonts and Ringtones.

    There should be Lots of room now
    and all should work in installer.app.

    Let others know if this worked for you.
  • Rameez
