Thread: Cydia vs Installer (new poll)

I prefer Installer 4's oversized icons, duplicate files, and lack of updates.... (sarcasm)
I also like how ripdev took over and anything they touch turns to explosive dynamite (kate - go go restore go!)
ripdev, if you read this, and i know you do, you should have just created a 5icon dock with the reflections and not worried about installer.
all of the ignorant people who thought installer was better have had a taste of champagne and nobody wants to drink your beer
saurak codes stuff for iphone and gives it away. ripdevs codes stuff for iphone and charges 45 dollars, the most expensive app - preapp store, and might as well still be the most expensive besides that stupid 150 dollar protools remote.

wow looks like i might have to upgrade. I used cydia and each time ia had to restore, jb, etc
all over again.
I just upgraded to 1.1.3 a couple of months ago and down graded one i bought to 1.1.4 because of these problems.
Installer 4 does look pretty weak and Cydia alot better but I wish it would work with 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 better.Yeah I'm an iPhoneaholic!! So What!!!
3Gs 4.2.1 05.11.07
3Gs 4.2.1 06.15.00
3G 4.1 04.26.08
2G's on 1.1.4, 2.2.1, 3.1.3

I used to be an Installer fan under 1.1.4 ..but since going 2.0+, Cydia has definately been champ.

i really liked Installer in the past.
but since i upgraded my phone, i also got Cydia, and guys, Saurik´s Cydia is much better – is it because Installer is just Beta?
also, i think that Saurik is doing all this work not only from a moneymaking perspective (the future of Cycorder? which i don´t mind paying for), but also an intelligent and ideological perspective.
keep it real, keep it free – uhmm... keep it ideological

Installer may have had some relevance in the past, but its clear now that it is way too little, way too late.
I've had to completely restore my iphone because of the installer POS.
wasted hours, unnecessarily.
I will never infect my phone with the buggy installer garbage again.
Cydia delivers, that is all.

installer is trash, it never works, when you install stuff its hard to delete, has error on error. A lot of work needs to be done. Cydia is so reliable
