It's pretty easy to install, just follow these steps:


1. Download: You must login or register to view this content.
2. Open iFunbox (or iFile).
3. Navigate and drop hosts file into /etc/
4. Overwrite if prompted.

This modified hosts file will block pretty much all iAds, it doesn't apply to all the ads in Cydia, but I have seen a couple of them removed.

Note: This seems to crash safari after you restart with the new hosts file. Keep in mine, the hosts file works and it blocks all iAds, but it does crash safari.


UPDATED

Go onto Cydia > Add You must login or register to view this content. > Install BaSic-AdBlocker7.
Works for all iDevices iOS 2x - 7x

Enjoy.
