Remember that if you follow this guide that its at your own risk.

Remember to also Back Up All the files you are going to Delete in case you mess up.

For this Tutorial you will need:

  • Open Shh installed on your IDevice (Get this from Cydia)

  • WinSCP Installed (This is for Windows)

Important
On your IDevice please go to the settings app, then general and then Auto Lock and click Never.
This will help your IDevice stay connected on WiFi.
Please take your time Deleting these files.

Notice: This will also Increase your Cydia system Partition by a lot.

Here is the entire list of folders/files that I deleted (separated by location):

(only a screenshot is here, not exactly important to delete)

===============================================================
Plist Edits
(I suggest doing these to lessen the likelihood of conflicts in the file system)

Navigate to:
/system/library/privateframeworks/bulletinboard.framework

Click and open DefaultSectionOrder.plist and delete the following lines:

Save and close, then open and edit DefaultEnabledWeeApps.plist and delete the following line:
2me9f8.png


Scroll and find com.apple.springboard.plist. Open and delete this line:
iddbww.png


===============================================================

Remove Twitter and Nike+iPod from your Settings menu

Navigate to:
\Applications\Preferences.app\

Scroll down and find Settings.plist and open it with the Plist Editor. Scroll till you find this: (for removing Twitter)

Click 'Edit' and remove everything in the blue square and click 'Save'. Then scroll till you find this: (for removing Nike+iPod)

Click 'Edit' again, and remove everything from the white box and click 'Save' and then 'Done'.

Assuming you don't have any errors, re-spring your device and you should no longer have Twitter or Nike+iPod in your settings, no more iAds in any application, and no more Game Center or Stocks on your Springboard. Please note that some developers still code in their own ads from admob or other various ad host. Some applications will still have ads, but none that use the iAd's will.
===============================================================

To Remove Newstand


Download "NoNewsIsGoodNews" from Cydia and install it on your IDevice.
(This will Not delete Newstand but just hide it, but at least you will be able to use the space the was using on the Springboard)
