Had my iPhone 4 since July last year and never jailbroke until the launch of Jailbrakeme 3.0.:eek: I just have a few questions about jailbreaking.

1). is there anyway to sync or backup paid Cydia apps? Not necessarily in iTunes obviously.

2) Is my credit card info safe when i do pay for an app in Cydia?

3) Please explain to me how i can get Swype on iOS. Vid is right here:

i searched for it on Cydia and i didn't come up. If fact, nothing did.
 
For your first question, check out PkgBackup. I think at this point the majority here use it, and it's well worth the money. As to the second question--your cc info is either stored with Paypal or Amazon--never directly in Cydia. Up to you to decide if you trust either.
 
Also please read through this sticky.. it will answer many many questions/ believe it or not we get lotas of new to jailbreaking post or how do I jailbreak/unlock most things can be answered by a quick search in the forum or google and youtube. more importantly saves you time...

Can i sync all of the new apps i got from the app store without messing up my phone or restoring?
