just avoid it

[him121213]

cydia will only fail if icy somehow turns out to be better than it (highly unlikely) with cydia's new updates and store now it will probably never fail. installer was buggy from the start so you know.... rip dev doesnt have a great track record

only time with tell...but my money is on cydia

[nycdiplomat]

im totally avoiding this until its final release. Cydia FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya. They are playing catch up. Saurik seems to stay involved so I don't see Cydia going anywhere.

Sounds great... until you try and uninstall it.

You get a popup which states that uninstalling ICY will remove one or more packages that are required for continued operation of CYDIA or iPhoneOS!!!

Does that mean, that ICY is using all of Cydia resources to function?

So if Cydia was not installed, then ICY wouldnt be able to function?

It seems that ICY is piggybacking off of Cydia, and reaping its tools, but bragging that it is so light... thats like me complaining that Cars use so much gas, and that my skateboard can go just as fast using NO gas.. but only if I tie myself to the bumper of the car.

it also reboots my phone when I try to update the sources... LAME.. and now I cant uninstall it.. Im going to have to restore to get rid of it.. just like every other rip dev app Ive ever used.

i just got icy and i personally dont like it it wouldnt even load any packages

also has anyone tried juice drop?

[chen1976]

**** app, well is this app? it just wont start on springboard. It has bugs and ripdev wont provide with simple fix etc. ****!

[TDD]

I was almost sold on this app, but damn that is one ugly GUI... pure black+white? That seems a bit reverse to the whole iPhone idea. They could have very easily made the application far more themed to the Icy name... there was no need for a black&white gui...

The ability to cancel the installations/downloads of files is very welcomed to me, a much nicer view of the download/install section is also welcomed - however, the requirement that cydia be installed as well makes Icy useless...

If it didn't rely on Cydia's installation, then I may have considered it.

EDIT: Just installed it - it's worse then I thought... doesn't even use the main iPhone graphics... It still has the ugly blue gradient for selection, etc.

[Money Over Bitches]

I like it, wont replace cydia though

[nycdiplomat]

its almost sounds like they are trying to sabatoge cydia IMHO !!! cydia is the best thing to happen to a jailbroken iphone

[soulthoughts]

I like the look of it BUT I wouldn't use it. RipDev products aren't always the best coded.

Exactly

[Cocchiararo]

i think that uninstalling icy wont harm cydia or the phone

its only that ripSh!t decedied to label icy as an esentian package... it even showed up as an update when i added the source, and would automatically install if i pushed the upgrade button
