Terminal for the iPad

For a long time, I have had problems install the MobileTerminal from Cydia. More exactly, it installed okay, but crashed as soon as I launched it. The bug has been fixed, and I know have a nice terminal on my iPad 4.3.1.

• Pre-requisite: jailbroken iPad + Cydia
• Download MobileTerminal version 511 at least.
• Upload this file to your iPad (via SSH, iPhoneExplorer etc whatever) in /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall. If the directories do not exist, create them.
• Reboot the iPad
• After reboot, a MobileTerminal application should be present on the iPad :)

A few commands

Restart the spring board:

killall SpringBoard

A few directories

Installing applications

Usually, installing applications on the iPad is very simple: touch the screen, and there it goes. But in some cases, from Cydia, you might need to do it the hard way. Then, it consists in putting the package in:

/var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall/

and restarting the Spring Board

Trying to recover some RAM

In /private/var/lib/apt/lists, remove all directories cydia*, apt*, repo666* and lock file.

My favorite apps

Name	Type	Appstore	Comments
Great Little War Game	Game	Apple Store - Paid	An excellent turn by turn strategy game, with nice graphics, no stupid 3D effects.
Locktopus	Security	Cydia - Paid	Ability to password protect some applications. This one is really easy to use, because you just have to long press on the apps and select the red lock to lock a given app. Note: Locktopus 1.1 crashes my iPad.
Cargo-Bot	Game	Apple Store - Free	Kind of a puzzle game where you have to program a robot to move around bricks of different color to match a given pattern
Paper	Drawing	Apple Store - Paid	Really good app if you have a pen. Actually the app is free to download, but you must purchase additional pencils and colors if you want to use it all.
Tweetcaster	Social	Apple Store	Tweet on several accounts. A few ads, but not too intrusive
