Switchrd (read switcher-dee) lets you switch between the original and patched installds. For a brief explanation of what the installd is, please read Explained: App Syncing or Explained: Patching the Installd at .
Reason?
In-app purchases (strictly in legit apps only) do not work if the app was installed by a patched installd. To make in-app purchases, the app has to be installed using the original installd.
Who is this for?
Those who use both legit apps and cracked apps, and want to make in-app purchases in their legit apps. Switchrd makes it easy to switch the installds around.
What else does it do?
Lets you download all patched and original installds. Awesome people have contributed their installd files and these files are stored on a server for download.
For unpatched users, you can download the patched installd (which is the same for all models) using Switchrd without needing to install AppSync or Installd Patch from Cydia.
Switchrd can also dynamically update itself using the -u option.
How to use?
Place switchrd file in /usr/bin on your iDevice and chmod it to 775.
Type ’switchrd’ in Terminal on the iDevice to see a list of options. To execute the options, type ’switchrd -x’ where x is the corresponding alphabet. There are 4 options:
-o To use original installd
-p To use patched installd
-d To download installd files
-u To update the script
The -d option is primarily meant for patched people who may want to download files for backup, archive, collection, and/or replacement. For those who are unpatched, Switchrd will prompt for download upon start, with or without the -d option.
