Stay away from Cydia!

Philhu - slick! Sweet and simple! So far so good with 2.1, i've not crashed it yet. I think throwing many of my apps into Categories also helps, since I would think it greatly reduces the # of apps Springboard has to enumerate. I am guessing at this, perhaps I am wrong. Considering I have around 80 apps on my phone, with 2.1 I am stable...

Cydia has been GREAT to me...everything works fine.... it sounds like a PERSONAL ERROR on your side!!!!

I've had this issue in the past only maybe twice. All I did was when it was froze was connect to iTunes and forced reboot on the iPhone it self. And it fixed it self.

Ummmmm i duno if this could be it but intelliscreen was doing this to my phone after installs of programs would force my phone back to the lock screen. Which then intelliscreen would crash my phone. I would have to do a restore every time. I finally landed on it being intelliscreen and didnt reinstall it and boom, been crash free for months. Intelliscreen was my prob... mabe its some of you alls?

My iPhone has also had these problems. Just once though. And I think i've figured out one of the main reasons why.
You can't overwrite files with cydia.
When downloading certain apps from cydia they have requirements as you know.


Say you need Hackx in order to make some other app work so you get it.
Now say something else requires hackx, but gets it from a different source. Cydia will automatically grab the files needed. (Including hackx)
The install fails because it's already there and can't be overwritten. And then you get bricked

This happened to me with ********** and one of the required files.
