I apologize if I have offended anyone for whom Cydia is working great, and I do appreciate the developer's efforts on it.

That said, I am certainly NOT alone in this predicament, and please don't assume because it works fine for you that it's not a Cydia problem.

Could it have anything to do with using passwd to change the default? Just a thought.

Oh, and my jailbreak settings are essentially the default pwnage settings except for stock boot and restore logos.

Also most of the times this has happened was when I've had 20+ apps installed (I've never had more than 30 installed). I was installing a winterboard update last time, but has happened with pretty much any app. First the menu bar progress wheel spins forever, then the main screen progress wheel spins forever, then they both lock.....and the phone stays that way for at least 20 minutes, I haven't waited longer than that to force restart, should I? Then, upon force restart, stuck at Apple logo.

Also, I would not be complaining if this happened once or twice, but it has happened AT LEAST 10 or 15 times, with different apps. Tried a few different .ipsws as well. Oh, thanks for assuming I did something wrong...cracks me up. I've had a first gen since the 3rd day they were out, now the 3G, i've been jailbroken since the beginning and never had these problems before, so I know what i'm doing.
