Here’s another guide for you guys. This guide will show you how to drastically speed up Cydia by removing all the adverts that appear on it. However, this does also remove the extra details such as ‘More Information’ or ‘Screenshots’ but if that’s not a problem for you, click .

For this guide you are going to need to either be able to access your device’s filesystem using iPhoneFolder or have iFile installed on your device. iFile can be installed from the Cydia Store and costs $5.00.
Using iPhoneFolder:
- Navigate to the /Applications/Cydia.app/ folder on your device and backup the package.js file onto your computer.
- Open up the original package.js file and search for this: var depiction = package.depiction;
(It is quite far down, 208th line.) - Change it to say: var depiction = null;
- Save the file and the adverts on Cydia should no longer appear.
If something goes wrong like Cydia does not open, it means you made an error in editing the file. Simply place the back up of the package.js file back onto your device and start all over again.
Using iFile:
- Navigate to the /Applications/Cydia.app/ folder on your device and copy the package.js file and paste is somewhere where you will find it again as a backup.
- Open the original package.js and click edit.
- Scroll down until you see this: var depiction = package.depiction;
- Edit it to say: var depiction = null;
- Save the file and adverts should no longer appear on Cydia.
Undo:
If you would like to undo this, simply copy the back up of the package.js file back onto your device.
