Any way to clear the Cydia update notification?

[RobT]

I'm using Cydia and it shows that there is an update to one of the apps I installed. I don't want to update to the newer version of the app. Is there a way to clear the notification in Cydia so the number goes way in "changes" and on the springboard?

What application? And why don't you want to update?

There are some applications that give reasons not to update. For instance PDANet Prior to 1.44 was free but 1.44 made it trialware, I.E. reason to stay on old firmware

i have the same issue with pdanet. i use 1.33 so it remains free and i cannot get rid of the notification. i would love a work around this issue.

Yep, that's my issue too and is why I asked.

a workaround for this is to uninstall pdanet and then install it from a different repository hosting the old version. there are a couple out there and they wont try to update to the new version because they know people want the old version.

It looks like you can download v1.33 from the http://www.iphone.org.hk/apt/ Cydia repo.

That one had it. Thanks for the url to the repository.

I've never used PDANet before. Quick question...... Can it be used to access the internet from your laptop via your iPhone through an AT&T wifi hotspot? Or can it only be used through EDGE/3G?

no since pdanet uses an ad-hoc network to connect to your computer. its impossible to be connected to both your computer and another wifi connection.

Great idea, thanks! I used the link and added the repo for 1.33 and all is good.

Too bad, but that's what I figured. Thanks for the info, vertigorp.
