Cerebro Let’s You Tracks Your iPhone Location for Free
Advertisements
You reached home after a very busy and eventful day, and suddenly realize that your iPhone is no longer with you. Now you can’t remember where you have left it, on your office table, in the canteen, at the gym, or maybe in the restaurant. Instead of having a panic attack and a very anxiety-filled hunt the next day, you could track down the location of the device using Cerebro, a Cydia app for jailbroken iPhones.
Best of all, Cerebro, earlier known as CALocationService is completely free of cost. Apple has location tracking service called ‘Find my iPhone’ but it costs you a lot of money, around a hundred bucks, that is. If you are willing to jailbreak your device and install Cydia on it, you can avoid moments of stress.
Cerebro works by recording the GPS coordinates of iPhone and uploading it to a server every 30 minutes. All this happens in the background, so the thief who stole your device will never know about it.
In order to use Cerebro, you need to first jailbreak your iPhone and install Cydia on it. For downloading and installing the app, navigate to ‘Manage–> Sources’ in Cydia and add the following source to your repository:
Click on the chrisalvares repository and install Cerebro. You may have to respring for the Cerebro icon to appear on your Springboard.

The GPS location still has to be send via the internet so Cerebro keeps track. You can chose how often this is done if you want to limit the traffic.
If my internet data is turn off on the phone. Does it work ?
Or do i need a active internet all the time for it to track the phone ?
