Possible to keep applications after removing Cydia?

[411]

Hey everyone!

Just asking a rather taboo question, but I'm considering jailbreaking (first time jailbreaking) an iPad to install "f.lux" on it via Cydia, but I also have plans of restoring it to its previous un-jailbroken status (since there's only one application in particular that has sparked my interest.)

Is there any way of going about this process, or must I keep the iPad in 'jailbroken' status to keep Cydia applications? I'm assuming that it's a 'no' since there is no 'f.lux' application match to be found in the app store.

Nope, if you lose the jb you lose all the tweaks. Is there a particular reason you wanted to un-jb it?

Btw, if you do jb you might also want to check out Dimmer, it lets you control the iPad brightness all the way down to full darkness.
