Hackulous is probably the favorite Cydia source of iPhone users who love to try premium iPhone apps before making a final purchase from App Store. To install cracked apps on your iPhone, you must install Installous from Hackulous repo. You can add Hackulous repo to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad by using the following two methods. If for some reason the first method do not work, you can always add Hackulous repo by SSH'ing into your iDevice.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Hackulous is now officially gone, so you won't be able to download AppSync and Installous from the Hackulous repo anymore. As an alternative, you can use this post to try out other Installous Alternatives. You can download AppSync from these sources: (Best Cydia Repos 2011, Best Cydia Repos 2012, Best Cydia Repos 2013)
Add Hackulous Repo Manually:
- Open Cydia on your jailbroken iDevice.
- Tap on the Manage tab at the bottom and then tap on the Sources section to view current repositories.
- Tap on the Edit button on the top-right and then tap on the Add button on the top-left.
- Enter http://cydia.hackulo.us/ as Cydia/APT URL and tap on Add Source button.
- Now wait while Cydia updates its repo database. Once done, click on Return to Cydia button and start browsing the Hackulous repo.
Add Hackulous Repo Through SSH:
root » private » etc » apt » sources.list.d
- If for some reason SSH'ing into your iDevice fails, use iPhone Explorer to place Hackulous.list file in sources.list.d directory. Make sure to install afc2add from Cydia to get access to root folder on your iDevice.
- Once done, respring or reboot your iDevice and ur done!
After adding Hackulous repo, follow this guide to install Installous on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. If you face any kind of difficulty in following the above procedure, feel free to ask in the comments section below.

Is there atleast another source for hackulous or similar to it?
There is really no other sources like a replacement for Hackulous. What you can do however is download Installous, AppSync and other Hackulous apps from other sources like Insanelyi or xSellize. Or you can check out other alternatives to Installous, in case you are looking for that.
Here’s a website that gives some. http://www.chiphazard.com/2011/06/02/how-to-download-all-cydia-paid-apps-free/

Hi, Hackulous is officially dead, so you can’t download apps like Installous and AppSync anymore. HOwever, these apps are still available on other sources. Better yet, you can try other Installous alternatives like vShare or AppCake.
vShare alternative…
