reinstall cydia repositories

In iPad News we are recommending a multitude of tweaks since the departure of the new jailbreak for iOS 7 about a month ago. tweaks that make our iOS device acquire new and interesting functions. Many of them are free and others have some cost, although they are usually quite cheap.

We will find two sections: 'Default Sources' and other grouped sources. In the 'Default Sources' menu we will have the essential Cydia repositories (BigBoss, Modmyi, and ZodTTD), keep in mind that if you have not deleted any of the three, it will not appear in the menu.

Also in the other sources section you have other repositories that are not worth much either ...
