Installous Shuts Down: Goodbye Hackulous Pirate Apps

 

What was given is over: Installous closes its doors today. This news brings with it a great victory for all those developers who have seen their income reduced due to this platform that distributed pirated applications. It is also a victory for Apple, which has been battling Jailbreak and Installous since they emerged on iOS devices: today "the free competitor to the App Store" is killed.

This is what those responsible for Hackulous announce on their website and inform them that they have made this decision for the decline of your community. This is the message they have published on their cover:

“We are saddened to inform you of the closure of Hackulous. After many years, our community has stagnated and our forums have become a ghost town. It has been difficult to keep them online and moderate them, despite the devotion of our team. We are very grateful for all the support we have received over all these years and we look forward to new and larger communities emerging from our closure. "

Developers can breathe a little easier. Let's not forget that App Store offers a business model That not only benefits Apple, but also thousands of developers around the world who have invested in this platform. The App Store moves several billion euros every year.

This news is a serious blow to the app hacking, but there is still work to do on this.

      You will come back, I left in April with the Galaxy S3, but I came back soon, but mostly because of the quality of apple applications, when I tried to use a replacement for camera + or tweetbot on android, I was simply ashamed to use applications that it wasn't even up to his heels.

          Nobody wondered why in mediamarkt they already sell antivirus for devices? apple need one? I look more than anything at the security of my data, and above all the quality of the product. I am not satisfied with plastic and rubber

            In that case you would be disgusted by the iPhone 3g and 3gs, right? Pure plastic.

            1.    Olaf said

              Exactly, although it is not the same plastic, in fact I had a 3g and I am guided by my experience, broken plastic and change to 4, as soon as possible. And there I continue

      I insist once again that the App Store feeds many people. You can not be in favor of this type of piracy and less when a developer has put so many hours and effort money for someone to come and steal 0,89 cents. You count what you want. Of course, on this website you will find quality information that we write professionals and, of course, you have not discovered America when you say how a page of this style is financed.

      1.    ๔ ค ภ Ŧ ภ ๔z said

        It is that you have to be very closed-minded to think that the new system only serves to harm developers, it is an open door to many new options, it does not have to serve only for that ... and the problem is not you win by advertising it Which seems to me not only lawful, but phenomenal for you, the problem is the censorship that you often make comments ... is to put articles just to win referrals, and a thousand more techniques that I find unfortunate ... but each one who does what Whoever wants, by not entering here anymore and going to other websites, or better yet to the plurality of Twitter and other uncensored media better ...

        1.    Pablo_Ortega said

          Well, as you can see, you are expressing yourself freely and nobody censors you.

          1.    Maikel said

            Well, I honestly believed that this page was more serious. I visit it daily but it seems to me that there should be someone who acts as a moderator and not tolerate offensive and insulting comments towards other people like Rafa's, just for the mere fact of being against the motive of an article and exercising their opinion freely. Let's face it, since we have internet in this world we are not today for many disbursements.

    Appcake alternative to installous in cydia

  10.   David Vaz Guijarro said

    You can always use the Chinese method .. not recommended, but ...

    1.    Alfonso Vinuales said

      The Chinese method, which makes it fun only to see the web, seems to have a very "simple" process and it seems that they are applications downloaded from the AppleStore that are installed blocking the internet connection, so that the system cannot detect in how many devices is installed and skip the limit of 5 imposed by Apple. They are conjectures that I have read in a forum, but anyway I copy / paste a comment that I have put on another website

      Once a method of installing Apps without jailbreak has been verified and together with the death of Install0us, it will be possible (or almost) that the Jailbreak is no longer a symbol of piracy. However we have something worse ... that the installation of commercial Apps without jailbreak is even more popular and universal. So Apple trying to kill the dog has created a lion.

      The Jailbreak will stay only with Cydia because those who want to hack apps
      they no longer need Jailbreak ... and what is the next step if every time
      Does Apple have more controlled rooting methods? … The slow but definitive death of the Jailbreak !!! And that will be good? I believe that it will not be
      for apple

      The opposite can happen, something that I dream about and that I really
      I think it is impossible, that Jailbreak begins to look with better eyes on the part
      Apple: It is a tremendous pool of developers, it is a source of
      incredible inspiration and they are geniuses looking for holes in the system
      Why kill them? Why not get Cydia (without Installous or
      similar because they are already obsolete)?
      Why not allow system enhancements created by
      third parties through Apple? Why not use all those
      level developers to keep plugging piracy holes?

      Apple ... this is a decisive moment of the game, or you bet big or you will end up losing !!!

      1.    aarancon said

        I agree with you but not entirely and I explain myself:

        In fact, in Cydia there is a huge pool of developers, but in many cases those tweaks or apps destabilize the system. We take care of it because we prefer X functionality to the stability that iOS gives the iPhone as standard. However, for Apple this is not and will never be the case, since what it can boast of compared to other systems is precisely its total stability. If it exercised a control as it does (not always 100% effective), in the AppStore at the end most tweak's or app's that we use, you can be sure that they would not pass the filter and therefore we would stay as we are.

        Now, what does not seem like a good policy to me is to make the jailbreak difficult because the responsibility for the device to be 100% stable would no longer be Apple's but the user's, and there is no doubt that many Cydia tweak's make the iPhone the best smartphone in the world for the possibilities they offer us.

      2.    David Vaz Guijarro said

        I agree with you!

  11.   Jason said

    In short, in a huge loss but not a blow to the jailbreak since that is not the end of it, for that there are other alternatives and as they said more when the iOS system completely cape, goodbye Apple Xq for me what gives thanks is these phones smart is the jailbreak possibility to do whatever you want with them

    Search vshare in Google, alternative to installous, it goes well

    1.    iGo said

      Cool, but without installous. How do you download it?

      1.    alex said

        cydia

      2.    Meifer said

        It is not necessary, install it directly from the official website.

  13.   guillermolokey said

    Now is when the AppTIMOS will multiply by spores and invade the AppStore, making it increasingly reluctant to buy an App without first trying it

  14.   javixi83 said

    Here they pay just for sinners, I have used and recommended installous on countless occasions. What tastes bad? of course, but what about all those apple store apps that are scams and don't give you your money back? those developers don't feel so bad ...

  15.   incom2 said

    I'm glad that most people currently looking to jailbreak are just to get Installous and fill their phone with hacked apps, most of which cost only eighty-odd cents.

    And it's a shame because the only channel to install OLD VERSIONS of applications on those devices that can no longer keep updating iOS disappears. I mean, for example, an iPhone 3G or an iPad 1: if the application on duty could initially install it but it has been updated and now requires iOS 6, unless you have it in your iTunes you will not be able to reinstall it because the App Store only offers the latest versions of the applications. It's like having a computer with Windows XP and suddenly finding that all versions of your favorite programs compatible with XP have disappeared and there are only those compatible with Windows 7 onwards and there is no way to get them if you don't have them installed.

    Anyway ... at least the jailbreak scene can really say that they work for and for the community, and not for people to hack things.

    1.    Jimmy morillo said

      With Vshared you can download the old versions

  16.   David said

    Oh it seems that actualidad iphone Rejoices. Haha they only make the apple's beard. Remember actualidad iphone, Sharing is not pirating, a minimum of users only have jailbreak so developers can rest assured

    1.    Rafa said

      What do you call sharing? Because if it is to buy something and give it away or lend it ... But no, you mean what you do vilely: steal. So you better go to a bank, steal some money and go to the door to "share." Oh no, sorry, you wouldn't dare to do that, in that case the brave "share" is no longer worth it and you are more chicken.

            Rafa, you only blame, you don't give alternatives ... pirate now or shut up !!!

    2.    Knives said

      Sharing is giving something of YOUR property to a third party, making it possible for this third party to have it and use it for an indefinite period of time and you cannot.

      When you download a pirated App, the one who uploaded it does not run out of it to share it, the App doubles, and this is how a developer of a 1 euro app can earn only 10 euros when their app is owned by 1000 people, one app that cost the developer time, training and money to create ...

      I am one of those who buy apps if they are worth it, I will have used installous 2 or 3 times to test an app of doubtful legitimacy before buying it, and it makes me angry because they stopped developing appsync and because we will not even be able to test the apps before buying them or download previous versions who have terminals with iOS prior to the current one

      Do not be so pirates and rats as to scam for an 89-cent app when you have a phone that went on the market for 600 euros

      1.    David said

        Sharing is not pirating (obviously it would be ridiculous to pass the mp3s to someone and not copy them, that is sharing, as it is explained that people who have jailbreak are minimal, it is not stolen from the developer. You should not feel guilty about that because the assumption damage is minimal and if it were not so because there are thousands of applications with millionaire profits like angry birds

      2.    Luis said

        Hipster delusional hahaha do you think you're going to struggle with commenting on things like that? Hahaha how many times have you downloaded songs or albums and now they come to be the saints, they think they are going to win a ticket by supporting that cerro installous, hahahaha they make me laugh xD

  17.   fishy said

    So that you do not have nostalgia, I recommend the alternative to Installous: VSHARE

  18.   Jobs said

    Those who are going to pay for an app will do so with Installous or without it.

  19.   Youssef said

    The best is Zeusmos, I have tried it and it works wonders, and you don't need the jailbreak. but it does not make modifications, it is only to download all the paid applications, free.

    Buy the games and applications ... for 12 pesos you will not be poor ... also encourage further development and improvement of games and applications!

    They all think they are hipsters, they think that you are going to benefit from the earnings of others hahaha poor delusions, little by little nobody has copied an album by an artist or downloaded a song, they say they are saints when in reality they support piracy, they only have one word "hipsters"

      Stop stealing, yokel. a lot of iPhone to show off and then stealing 1 euro apps ...

      1.    bravox09 said

        Excuse me but this is my theory: It is wrong that someone who has money does not pay for an application, now that is not wrong if he just tries it. Second theory: If a person who does not have any money downloads a cracked app to keep it, it would not be mine either since it does not harm the developers because that person could never buy that app therefore it does not generate or take away profits; for those reasons I support piracy

    All the applications that I have on my iPhone are pirates and will continue to be so. When a door closes, two windows open. It has always been like this and it will always be like this. What happened when they closed megaupload? 40 more servers were opened .. With this the same thing will happen .. Installous closes today, nothing happens .. This appcake, vshare and surely many more will come out ..

    Well, every day I realize that this website and its sister on ipad started very well but day by day it loses a lot of quality, and the loss of quality is because you are selling yourself to the capitalist system of advertising income, you are no longer partial, you no longer offer what users want.

    As the end of the year, I make the end of my visits to this website.

    happy new year without Actualidad iphone and iPad.

  28.   Dani said

    What a bitch! Now you have to look for life elsewhere! you want to make the partridge dizzy ...

  29.   jamiro100 said

    Many use this method because for some reason, they cannot buy an app, many of them believe that it can only be purchased with a credit card and they do not see beyond that there are other methods, something that is missing for the apple itself to advertise. I never saw a spread in iTunes about iTunes credit cards and I know there are, this is an apple flaw.
    Let's also be honest, there are people who, no matter how much purchase methods they offer, are not going to stop hacking, because they are used to not paying for something they should and that is unfortunate. Here are also those who say "I get off to test the app" and many end up downloading renowned applications that we already know of their quality and it would not be necessary to try (examples such as angry birds, cut the rope, etc) and that they would never buy in the app store, they already have it. A very sad reality.

    Rot! Piracy is good when it is for home use! Do you think I'm going to spend my money on apps? I'd rather go to the movies or buy clothes than pay $ 1 for WhatsApp. It's not that I don't have money, but it seems absurd to me.

    1.    jamiro100 said

      You should try to enter the cinema without paying, steal your clothes from the store, he already has a habit of not paying for someone else's work.
