I'm still partial to Installer, everyone and their mother has a repo for installer these days.

Once you're caught up on apps, its just a matter of browsing the "Recent" folder for anything new.

Also, I saw that it was mentioned Cydia can make symlinks for you, I'm not sure what that means, because with a simple call to the /bin directory you can execute terminal commands in Installer as well. Simply do a check first in your script for the BSD subsystem to avoid any main script errors, and alert your user with a Notice if its not installed.

Honestly, Installer can have just as many padded walls as cydia, unfortunately most people don't script their repositories very well. Its pretty much "hey let me download this guy's script to see how it works so that I can make my own" which has lowered the quality.

The only thing Installer needs is alphabetic scrolling.

Would be nice if they could add version control also. Very annoying when you get "updates" to older versions of what you have installed.

another thing installer needs is the search feature. Glad cydia has that

I think you need FakeBSD which can be found in Saurik's repo. Try putting Installer into your phone and get the FakeBSD, you will be enjoying Cydia after that.

How do I install Apps like Summerboard, Apollo, and BSD if Cydia doesn't support sources ?

[LGgeek]

cydia is tech oriented, installer is app oriented. if cydia could do all the things that installer does like add sources,etc then it would a good general installer. Also the whole take "out bsd subsystem after you've jailbroken because mine is technically better" even if it causes you trouble just kind of tweaks me.

[lillewis51]

the only thing i dont like about cydia is it shows you all the changes made to every app on it instead of only having the ones you downloaded. but i use it.

[Dash-2]

Cydia has great potential, but it's just not there yet.

i can give a crap which one they do the same thing
