Jailbreaking / Untethering your iTouch offers a wide variety of freedoms with your iTouch. But screw that crap, you are probably here because you want free apps.

Regardless of what you want, here is a complete guide showing you how to do so starting from the initial jailbreaking to downloading the apps.

Note that doing this voids your warranty. Also note that Apple’s EULA prevents them from checking your iTouch, so there is no way they can know you are doing this.

Using Cydia to install MobileInstaller and Installous on your iTouch 2g

After jailbreaking your iPhone with QuickFreedom you should have two new default applications on your iTouch home: Cydia and Installer.

From Wikipedia:
“Cydia [sih-DEE-uh] is a package installer/manager for the iPhone and iPod Touch, created and maintained by Jay Freeman (saurik), which allows users to browse and download applications from a range of sources. Most applications are available to download for free, with some requiring purchase after downloading, and as of the 1.0.2790-44 release, applications are available to purchase from within the application. The applications are downloaded directly to iPhone or iPod Touch and are located in the /Applications/ directory , in the same place where “Apple native” applications are located. App Store applications are located in /var/mobile/Applications/”

The first thing you want to do is add two certain package sources to Cydia

To do this, open Cydia and touch ‘Mange’ at the bottom. Then Click ‘Sources’.

From the sources menu touch ‘Edit’ at the top-right and then ‘Add’ to the top-left then add the following addresses individually:
http://cydia.hackulo.us/

http://iphone.org/hk/apt/

Then tap ‘Home’ on the bottom and reload Cydia if it hasn’t already.

Next you will want to install the latest version of ‘MobileInstaller’. Mobile Installer allows installation of home-made homebrew IPAs.

To do this, click search on the bottom of Cydia and in the search bar type ‘mobileinstaller’ and install either one of these by tapping them and clicking install on the top right.

A log will appear showing the installation progress. once it is done installing it will instruct you to restart your iTouch. Do so.

You now have the ability to install .IPA (iPhone) files on your iTouch.

Next you will want to install an app browser. I use Appulous.

Appulous is browsable on your iTouch via Installous. Both are from the website Hackulous.

Touch ’search’ on Cydia and type in ‘Installous’ to find this package and install it:

Installous allows you to browse, download, and install apps from Appulous.
