Cydia 1.1 - The New And Improved

**nickhesson** · 03-26-2011, 05:53 AM

Cydia 1.1 is finally upon us and it’s packed with AWESOME! An update which has been discussed for months, and a topic that users have thought about almost every day. Not only are there a ton of new features bundled inside, but we also get UI updates, speed increases and an improved search function. This update adds even more functionality behind the scenes, which will allow Saurik to provide even more updates to Cydia, quicker and easier than ever before.

Saurik just announced it's release via Twitter, saying:

Cydia 1.1: faster, slimmer, and more stable; including an improved search algorithm and "resume where you left off". Available in Cydia now!

While I don’t have an official list of new features and all the updates to the new Cydia 1.1, I’ll try to cover as many as I can.

First and foremost, the new Cydia is fast! I mean REAL FAST! Seriously, this thing flies now! Web Content is now “appcached” which allows content to load much quicker. Even the homepage pop’s into place almost instantly now. Behind the scenes, Cydia continues to check for updates and even downloads them in the background, all while refreshing any new content that has been updated.

The UI has been updated slightly, in a very clean manner, which makes things seem much more fluid and snappy. The searching mechanism in Cydia has been updated to allow for faster searching, and smoother interaction with the enormous repositories.

We’ve had a ton of new languages added to Cydia as well, making it even more universal than ever before. This includes Greek, Chinese, German, Dutch & Spanish languages.

This release is live and in Cydia now. Don’t forget to thank Saurik for all his hard work, as well as the rest of the team. This is a ton of work they have put into this and it’s just the beginning of something even more AWESOME!

I updated and I like how fast it is but now my iPod Touch has "Searching..." in the top left corner where "iPod" should be.

AMAZINGLY fast on my AT&T iPhone 4, 4.2.1, greenpois0ned.

I'm suddenly getting "hash sum mismatch" error when trying to update. Wonder why? I've changed nothing in Cydia, no new repos, and didn't have this error updating other tweaks etc yesterday....dang.

**tosbsas** · 03-26-2011, 07:11 AM

so far not very fast - says about 1 minute now: ready release and the white wheel

**Wengderful** · 03-26-2011, 07:13 AM

I'm getting Hash Sum Mismatch as well.

**jasyn** · 03-26-2011, 07:21 AM

hash sum mismatch as well. tried to autoinstall via .deb file and it didn't work either

**tma** · 03-26-2011, 07:22 AM

Didn't get it still on the changes tab :/

**Kaospassageraren** · 03-26-2011, 07:22 AM

Cydia is in swedish now!!

**jlowry** · 03-26-2011, 07:24 AM

It seems like mobile substrate works as well now too

**marnix1991** · 03-26-2011, 07:24 AM

thank you saurik ^^
hash sum mismatch is becuse i think the servers are bussy

**PathKiller29** · 03-26-2011, 07:26 AM

wow. i saw this on cydia and went yes, maybe this will help...
but my phone being shitty as it is, will prolong the install of anything as long as it can... i may have to reboot 10 times before i get this updated

current reboot count: 3
cydia crash count: 6
respring count: 0

**meyk0830** · 03-26-2011, 07:29 AM

Nicely done saurik! Cheers!

**brittag** · 03-26-2011, 07:37 AM

If you got a "hash sum mismatch" error, try again - should be working better now.

**tosbsas** · 03-26-2011, 07:38 AM

bigboss repo is not behaving well - gets me a timeout

**yentrog31** · 03-26-2011, 07:39 AM

It seems pretty fast so far..after I did a reboot.But it sure makes my Barrel tweak go haywire,anyone else notice this?

**PathKiller29** · 03-26-2011, 07:40 AM

this is asking me to remove the main repos (ie ModMyi, Biggboss) should i install?
