Anyhoo, Here's my wish list for 2.0:

GPsPhone
BossTool
VNC
PhoneZap
Australian Carrier logo and phone number format support (A must for me!!!)

the last ones already on there because Australia is a supported country now mate!

I'm discovering Cydia and it's O.K., just different from installer.app

just can't wait for more apps on 2.0

The only downside with publishing apps to the App Store is following Apples strict guidelines e.g. like not being able to modify the UI in any way.

Ever since the 2.0 upgrade became available for the 1st gen iPhones (or the 3G model released) I have debated upgrading. The app store has "most" of the apps I like and use in one form or another, but I came to realize that the thing I want most for my iPhone is a unique look, and that is the one thing that i will never get on the app store. As long as Apple forbids any UI tweaking, there will always be a place for jailbreak even for those on official carriers.

I have no preference but cydia freezes my phone while updating apps and I have to restart... so as a simple rule of thumb, Installer kicks ***, cydia is just too buggy in 2.0

So far I have no problems wit cydia on my 1st gen iPhone that I jailbroke on my windows xp. Just hope that more apps are on the way.

Is there anyway of taking Cydia of the iPhone without making a new custom firmware or restoring the iPhone?

I've on windows so can't make a custom 2.0FW, I downloaded it from a torrent site and had Cydia on it.

I looked in the manage section and its got loads of stuff installed which I'm pretty sure I didn't install them but nothing on homescreen. Maybe they're unix tools for the iPhone.

Will Installer 4.0 be available through Cydia then?

I hardly used installer but missing it now.

cydia may be buggy in 2.0, but wasn't installer buggy in 1.1 when it was released? installer never really became too stable till around FW 1.1.3 i think. Round about the time Cydia was released. Not to mention that Installer hasn't even been ported to 2.0 yet. It's almost like the difference between Mac vs PC

Mac, new and funky, new and buggy
PC, tried and true, old and buggy

That whole argument when apple machines started to make a comeback

Cydia is ***.

I was reading on another page that Cydia sees what phone/firmware you are running and only shows compatable programs so you cannot install something that does not work!

I'm amazed at the requests for installer, that app is so basic and buggy and poorly developed granted was simple to use and it had lots of support built up over the years but people please realise these programs will not run on iPhone 2.0 firmware so getting installer on your 2.0 phone will not allow you to use them either.

When and if installer is released to work with 2.0 and there is no target date given for that, it might be a level playing field for a proper installer v cydia discussion however at the moment Cydia is the only install application for 2.0 firmware and will be hosting more app's as the days go by. This will give it a head start on Installer becuse of the efforts put in by Saurik please join me in thanking him!!!.

If you think Cydia is ugly thats because it lets you see whas going on under the hood, something installer never did. Now this is probably dangerous for some so perhaps Saurik could release a version for people who like it simple.

Other than that point I'm a cydia fan already

Hi there ...
I like Cydia it's pretty cool and thanx to the dev team for providing us with this option ...
I see no real difference with Installer so it's all the same to me ...
It does seem more stable though ...
3 things I'm missing right now are :
- The name ... (Installer sounded much better than Cydia I must agree)
- The "Recently added" section (It can be painful to just look for new apps by just browsing again and again the same old apps u're not interested in)
- and finally like everyone else I''m missing the tons of apps that used to be available on Installer for free ... We can't blame anyone but the developers for that, or can we even ... The dev ream did their parts ...

So thanx overall
thanx a lot

I think what some people still don't understand is that even if installer was available, there still wouldn't be any apps for it which would work in 2.0. It doesn't matter whether it's Cydia or Installer, we have to wait for the apps. I'd bet within a week we'll see the majority of the old apps ported over. In the meantime just relax and get used to some of the other new features in 2.0

[exclamation]

Who think Cydia and Installer should just merge? Because to me it's pretty ridiculous to have two different ways to install third party apps and have people choose sides. If they merge it would just be great. Anyone agree?
