How to: Disable ads in Cycorder

[mrrish]

well, i guess the people who dislike the ads would have never clicked on them in the first place. so i guess saurik get's no PPCs either way. i personally do not advocate this though.

Just come back from the zoo with my daughter, this dam app has cost me a small fortune in data fees thanks to it connecting and grabbing ads.

Thank you for the info.

EDIT: to all the whiners regarding this hack - let me donate & remove the ads then!!!

OpenSSH from Cydia and SFTP connection in your FTP client.

Navigate to /private/var/Mobile/Media/Videos/

HELP: Cyrecorder Video file location

I don't mind the small ads, but would like to know where the Cyrecorder video files are placed on my Windows Vista computer when I sync my iPhone after shooting videos.

Its Cycorder.

Not Cyrecorder.

Saurik developed this amazing program so give him the proper credit.

To all the whiners complaining about removing the ad:

When the ad loads, the FPS of the video DRAMATICALLY DROPS and makes the video really crappy. With the ad gone, this program is actually useable. This "ad removal" should be considered a fix, and you all should appreciate it.

I might also ad that there's an easier way to block ads system-wide. It's the old hosts file trick.

Great tip. -- However, Quickgold will be disabled if you have a hosts file that blocks AdMob ads. If you edit the host file to re-enable AdMod ads, the ads then show up in Cycorder. I guess if you like QuickGold, you'll have to go back to the method of hex editing the cycorder app.

lol, is there a even more watered down version of the instructions on post one? still a bit complicated on my part.

 

[mgamber]

LOL....I just like how those who raise issues or feel uneasy about the whole thing are called "whiners". Any port in a storm, right? Seriously, grow the **** up.

I think its despicable to disable the ads without compensating him directly.

I just donated 30 to Saurik for all his hard work so now I feel justified in disabling the ads.

Thanks for posting the hosts trick.

I think it's despicable how he puts ads in his applications. Have you SEEN Cydia lately? There are so many damned ads that it's hard to freaking use the damned thing.

Eh, this tutorial is really old. Just use the hosts file trick.

He just answered this...Navigate to /private/var/Mobile/Media/Videos/
Can't be anymore specific as that is exactly where they reside !

As suggested, get some info on SSH thru Google or a tutorial.

I dunno if this is allowed here, but since we're allowed to post links to things like Adblock for Safari and Adblock for Firefox, I'm assuming it's quite alright.

Anyway, I hexedited Cycorder and disabled the ads. I will tell you how to do it in a few simple steps.

1. Download HexEdit for Mac.
http://hexedit.sourceforge.net/

2. Get the Cycorder binary off of your iPhone and open it with HexEdit.

3. Press CMD+F for "Find" and type "http" ... this will locate the part in the program where it gets the ads from a "website" so to speak. Make sure it's the URL that has "iSDK" just after it. On the left, you'll see all sorts of hexidecimal stuff, and on the right you'll see what looks like the makings of a URL. Highlight the part that says "http" and replace it with "xxxx" ... now save it and you're done with HexEdit.

4. Go back to the Cycorder directory on your iPhone and rename the original Cycorder binary to CycorderBackup just incase something bad happens. Now copy the new one in there that you saved with HexEdit.

5. If you run Cycoder, you'll see that it crashes instantly. That's because we haven't puedo-signed it yet. To do this, log into your phone via SSH as root, or install MobileTerminal and su to root:

apt-get install ldid
cd /Applications/Cycorder.app
ldid -S Cycorder

Make sure the S is a capital S there.

And there you have it! A black bar on the left instead of nasty ads for the AppStore. I'm sure this will work with any other program that uses the same ads, but I just discovered this tonight. Sorry, Jay. I don't like ads.

You know you don't have to grab the .deb off the iPhone. You can download it to your PC/Mac (Along with any other Saurik repo package) from this address:
http://apt.saurik.com/debs/

But still, thanks for the tutorial.
