Wait, that's what Cydia is, is it not?

Cydia is planned to have all of the same features I thought.

Yeah, but why create a whole new thing when you could just make Installer better...

Because they could, but they haven't.
It isn't open source so nobody could fix it.

If anything is wrong with Cydia and the main devs don't take any action, other coders can.

Unfortunately, the jailbreakme.com method has limitations, most importantly, size, the tiff can only contain so much code, and frankly, 11MB is way beyond the limit.

What about ziphone? Maybe it is possible to integrate it with ziphone and have Cyndia instead installer on new unlocked phone after using ziphone. This should be good replacement for installer. I am looking forward to it.

I am looking forward to it as well, but I think it will be a while before something like that happens, because :

a) Dev's have to switch their repo's over to the cydia side of things (kind of being taken care of as they are making something to convert the repos over, right?)

and b) most people just know and tolerate installer, and will automatically be looking for that with future jailbreaks. In fact the words AppTap/Installer/Installer.app have become synonymous with the word jailbreak.

Still (Cydia > Installer)^10, even in this, its early stage.

I have Cydia installed. I am on 1.1.4 Ziphone unlocked. This program worked fine, but not it is crashing. It opens briefly and then crashes back to the home screen.

I went into installer to do a renistall of Cydia which went fine, but I still have the app crashing when I try to run it.

What can I do? Could it have anything to do with commands I have run to get Finder working?

I am not sure where or what to look at. I have set permissions to 0777 on Cydia.app and all the files inside. They are also Group: admin, Owner: root.

Any help is appreciated.

I would like this program asks for wifi networks, like installer ... I just need it

Yeah, I am having the same issues as Hyperextension. Is there a solution for this probelm. I would not want to have to restore my phone.

ssh into your phone.
issue the command:
apt-get update

Excellent work, saurik.

This app is great. I sincerely hope that it either replaces Installer altogether, or at least compels Nullriver to open-source their software (which they've promised to do but haven't yet).

Installer 3.01 keeps crashing my phone, but I'm enjoying Cydia so far. Wayyy more features. What in the world caused the Installer developers not to put in a search function?!

[Cocchiararo]

it would be nice if updates to already installed stuff werent in the same place *** new stuff added / stuff modified that its not installed

[mustang50187]

There are major conflicts with the installers. Some apps that are on both as I found out will kill your iphone and you will have to start all over. I dont know why maybe its more the apps fault then the installers fault cant say yet. I am running old school iphone 4GB with 3.9BL and jailbreaked 1.1.4. If someone knows whats the problem then let me know I dont have time to look over the bugs nor do I care I just use the phone for educational use only. I use a linux phone there better. I am just letting some know my problems with having both of them installed.

I don't like the purple icon, so I made my own



Those of you who own Macs will see that Installer's icon uses the .Mac icon from System Preferences, so I decided to use the Network one right next to it so that they go together
