    For people like me, I decrypt my apps, so I can hack it, and I need an installer.
    But that installer also installs syncer, and I never get cracked apps/illegal apps, so I disable that.

    If you are like me, and the only reason why you have an installer, is because you need to hack apps, feel free to remove the Launch Daemon associated to the syncer.

    That will actually make your device run way faster, as it always seems to run it all the time, like 24/7 lol.

    ^^If this is too much talk about bad stuff, I will remove it.
    Just giving some helpful info.

    I'm well aware. I added that to the CommCenter notes if you cared to read the post. It's still safe, you just get "Searching".

    Let me go check.
    It is the one that deals with "installd".

    Okay, found it.
    com.apple.mobile.installd.

    If you have the bad syncer, you'll need to edit it, and replace the binary file located in:
    /usr/libexec
    with the original one.
    I'm not sure what it does if you remove it, but it shouldn't hurt.

    Edit it so it doesn't load MS every time it gets ran.

    WOAH WOAH WOAH, don't touch that daemon! Your device wont be able to install apps otherwise. If you installed the bad syncer then that's your problem and I would HIGHLY like to avoid talking about it.

    Like I said, just edit it back so it doesn't load MobileSubstrate.
    And replace your original binary.

    Okay, don't delete:
    com.apple.mobile.deleted

    It runs at load, so it is probably important.
    Your best choice is to stay away from this.
