Another cydia question
moordown66
29-11-2010
I've got an iphone 3g, jb'd with a number of cydia apps installed.

Assuming I do the following
1) Get an iphone 4
2) JB it when available

Would the back up from itunes port across all the cydia apps or would I have to download them all again, and how would that affect the 2 I paid for - would I have to pay again?

Thanks

There is a thread on macrumors that probably will answer to your question here are some quotes

Then all your apps will show correctly as "purchased" in Cydia and you can install as normal.
pkgbackup is a great tool, but you would still have to do this step to download it on a new device. all it saves you is time and effort remembering all the packages you have to install.”

I don't remember exactly the step by step but just google it, once your new Cydia is link with that ID IT WILL show you what you already paid for.

Actually just hit "buy" for one of the app you bought it will ask you to login and the it will see that you already paid”
