This is not for beginners.

I'm going to assume you know some amount of knowledge...
You need the SpringBoard binary file.


Here is what you do.

1. Get a HEX Editor (I suggest HEW - HEX Edit Workshop)
2. Open it up.
3. Press CTRL-G (Command-G if you are on a Mac)
(Make sure the "HEX" box is checked and not "Decimal")
4. Type this in the box:

Code:

0014D84C

5. Change the:

Code:

0120

to:

Code:

0020

For the people who are wondering what this does is, it changes the MOVS R0, #1 to MOVS R0, #0.
^^1 is true. 0 is false.
I'm basically saying, do not enable newsstand.
6. Transfer it back to your iDevice and make sure you backup your old one, and replace this one with your old one.
7. Set the permissions as 0755 (RWE, RW, RW) and root, Wheel.
8. ldone it by running this command (you need ldone btw lol):

Code:

ldone "SpringBoard" -s

9. Reboot.
10. You're done !!! You now don't have newsstand .

Currently I can't find ldone, so I guess you might have to use ldid, but if anyone has ldone can you post the deb or bin please? Thanks.

HEW.

This is better.
tweaks use a lot of RAM.

This doesn't since it's not running extra things.

Sorry my bad you need to edit the SpringBoard executable/binary file.

Okay lol.
