is there a file on the iphone that will show all the 3rd party apps and everything downloaded from Cydia??
 
I was thinking more of SSHing into it to view a file stored on the iPhone..I need to restore my phone and cant access anything on my phone via touch screen
 
You can run dpkg -l to get a list of installed packages. I think it is installed with Cydia. Apt has to be installed seperately. The file /var/lib/dpkg/status lists everything you have installed plus a lot more info such as dependencies. "cat /var/lib/dpkg/status | grep Package" will list only the names of everything installed.

from link:
..fire up the terminal and create a file to store our list. This can all be handled with one command.

dpkg --get-selections > myapps.txt

Putting this code into terminal will create a text file called “myapps.txt” which contains all the selections you’ve made in Cydia.

Edit: I just tried this way and foob's way and foob's is MUCH better. Just drag the file to your desktop and open with wordpad.
