I think most of you are often suffering from Cydia ads, specially when the ads make it difficult to use the app without accidentally tapping on the ads. It makes sense to find ads on the free apps, but at the same time and at the least I want to be able to do things such as read the app descriptions, see details and etc. Therefor I will show you – after the jump – a very simple way to get rid of Cydia ads.
STEP 1: FTP/SSH to your device.
STEP 2: Find this file /Applications/Cydia.app/package.js
STEP 3: Search for this, you may find it in line 209:
if (depiction == null)
Change it to:
if (depiction == null || true)
STEP 4: Now enjoy an ad free Cydia.
Here is the screen-shots before and after:
Of course if you want to see the ads again you simply have to reverse step 3.

Hi i did this on my ios4 but…. there no more screen shot views anymore (even when i go to more info) if this is a bug please fix.. But this is a super great thing to do!!! thank U much.
it`s cool but after doing that you can`t see those things that usually load with the ads, like more info, screens, etc.
nice and really fast but if you want to see buying option you have to remove that update
maybe rename the file as new and origin and swap the files each time needed.
Didn’t do anything for me.
OK, now this is an awesome tweak!
Many of time I accidentally hit an ad while looking at an ad description.
MANY THANKS!
