Now that you have jailbroken your device, it’s time to add the best repositories Cydia offers. Here’s the complete list of must-have Cydia sources and repositories for Electra jailbreak users.
15. RYAN PETRICH’S SOURCE
Ryan Petrich’s repository has been around for a long time, in internet time one could say it’s ancient.
This Cydia repository contains a lot of essential tweaks such as RocketBootstrap, PreferenceLoader, etc.
You can also find quite a few legacy tweaks in this repo so be sure to steer clear of them unless you own a legacy device.
Even though Ryan is no longer as active in the community as he used to be, adding his source is mandatory if you are on iOS 11.

9. ELIAS LIMNEOS’ SOURCE
Elias Limneos’ Cydia repo is all about quality rather than quantity.
His tweaks (BioProtect X, MobileMiner, NFCWriter) bring never-before-seen features to your iPhone and iPad.
Add this repository if you want to extend the functionality of your stock iOS setup.

6. UNLIMAPPS REPOSITORY
UnlimApps is the leading source for all social media tweaks.
It contains hacked versions of Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Discord, Twitter, and whatnot. You name it, they have it.
Before you add this source to your device, keep in mind that the ++ tweak lineup is not compatible yet with iOS 11.2-11.3.1 at the time of writing this article. The developer usually adds the necessary compatibility patches as soon as users start bugging him on Twitter.
All versions released before iOS 11.2, however, are fully compatible. If you have a compatible iOS version, you can get started right away.
- Developer – UnlimApps

5. SPARK SERVERS
Spark Servers is a new repository aimed primarily at iPhone X users. Almost every other package on this repo caters specifically to iPhone X users.
If you own an iPhone X, a paid membership of SparkDev’s members-only area is worth its weight in gold. If you are using an older model, free tweaks will suffice unless you are looking for a specific feature or customization option.
- Developer – SparkDev

4. JULIO VERNE’S SOURCE
Brazilian developer Julio Verne is considered the best tweak developer in the community by many and for all the right reasons.
Though the cracker-turned-developer has been on the sidelines for a while, his source will definitely be a great addition to your current setup.
This source is definitely worth an add if you want free customization, hacks, and patches for your App Store apps.

2. STABLE AUXILIUM REPO
Auxilium Development Team is currently the best developer team in the entire jailbreak community. The team came out of nowhere and surprised everyone with its free tweak releases.

Developed from the ground up by the amazing Andrew Wiik, Packix quickly rose the ranks of the jailbreak community.
Within just a few weeks its release, Packix became the go-to repository of all jailbreakers with iOS 11 devices.
