Sorry, I though you had a 3GS running iOS4.x based on your statement (and also looked for the app for that):
"oh, man
did they really removed it, i used it on my 3gs ios4 but didn't need it since then, hoping download it on demand
damn! it was really useful app "
sorry, may be i didn't explain clearly
i meant Skype Recorder but never mind
it was far behind
the case is that i installed NCSettings 2.0.2 from cydia.myrepospace.com/jamied360 the original repo for this stuff, but later the author decided to remove the beta from repo and it lives only on my i4 and on my wife's i4s, wanna port it to my i4s but stuck in this situation
BTW, NCSettings is the best replace for SBSettings - try at least v 1.7.1 and i think you'll appreciate that

actually i Downloaded this App from JamieD360 repo and i looked through it's control file under the branch /var/lib/apt/lists/ but i couldnt find controll commands for this app in here cuz the author removed it from the repo
i'm trying to rebuild DEB anyway
Does it help if i looked through fileSystem Content of NCSettings in Cydia and copied all file branches enumerated?
Upon installation, a .list file of the installed files is stored in /var/lib/dpkg/info/<packagename>.list. Here, <packagename> is com.jamied360.ncsettings and, as of 1.7.1, has the following contents:

All you need to do is copy those files from your existing installation, keeping their full path, to your desktop and create a DEB file of them. In the latter, I certainly can help you - just ZIP up the copied files into a ZIP file and make it online, I'll create a DEB installer of them.
Make also sure you provide me with the other /var/lib/dpkg/info/com.jamied360.ncsettings.* files (if they exist). As of 1.7.1, there are two of them (postinst and preinst); dunno about earlier versions. Finally, copy here the app record from /var/lib/apt/lists/apt.modmyi.com_dists_stable_main_binary-iphoneos-arm_Packages. I'll need all these to be able to completely restore the original state of the installer.
Today, I've tested the "redeb.sh" script published at http://modmyi.com/forums/general/713564-how-repack-dpkgs.html#post5470352 and promising to provide the same functionality as the (under iOS, in the "Debian Packager" package in Cydia) missing "dpkg-repack" script. (I've posted the script to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81986513/032014/redeb.sh so that you can directly give it a try if you want to.)
It doesn't seem to work at all. An example of trying to run it under 4.3.3, with the current "Debian Packager" version of 1.14.25-9:
Ruotsalainen-Werners-iPod:/var/mobile/Media root# ./redeb.sh com.winmobiletech.uicachecleaner
cat: /var/lib/dpkg/info/.list: No such file or directory
cat: filelist: No such file or directory
tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
cp: omitting directory `/var/lib/dpkg/info/.'
cp: omitting directory `/var/lib/dpkg/info/..'
expr: non-integer argument
tail: /var/lib/dpkg/available: invalid number of lines
head: _control_: invalid number of lines
dpkg-deb: no package information in `__/DEBIAN/control'
(The above shows my trying to repack my installed UI Cache Cleaner app.)
That is, for the time being, only the manual way of collecting those files seem to work. I, however, will look into the problem later; so, if re-packaging the DEB file isn't that urgent, you're advised to wait for the results of my future experiments.
pls keep in mind that i downloaded NCSettings 2.0.2 from cydia.myrepospace.com/jamied360
modmyi repo never held such a high version of this app
so... i decided to pay attention to *jamied360* instead of *modmyi*
but files under the path: /var/lib/apt/lists/ seem to be useless for us as i looked through them but found not even a trace of NCSettings config or setup or whatever
anyway thank u for helping and here's the zip of everything i collected https://www.dropbox.com/s/bqy877xoxdpixaz/NCSettings.zip
oh, and better try it in ios >=5.0
this app is designed for iOS NotificationCenter
I don't think it'll be ready this night. The version I've compiled is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81986513/022014/com.jamied360.ncsettings2_2.0.2_iphoneos-arm.deb and, while it's deployed properly, has problems loading the pref. bundle in Settings.
That is, do NOT install it.
Maybe these help?
