Cydia is the way forward.

Massive respect to Installer! It was, and is, great but it's reached the limits of its design. The same can also be said for the BSD subsystem port. However, coders have now discovered where those limits are and are working to overcome them.

The result is Cydia. It's not perfect but it's the next step!

My sincere thanks to all concerned.

Hey just a suggestion for the UI.
Instead of the Search button how bout have the little search bar on the Install, Changes and Uninstall pages, and then replace the Search button with a "Installing" button, that basically works like the iTunes Mobile Music store. That would be a massive improvement.

So far I'm loving the app. I don't like how it symbolicly set up the applications (Didn't use bosstool), kinda confusing but w.e. Besides that great job.

[dementho]

got same errors. but i think in the future there will be great apps...and the lame ones on installer

Read first quote.

i like it, it has potential, but not perfect, half the stuff i dont even know what it is. very confusing to any normal joes. I would hope 1 day there will be the perfect "installer" but i would like to see the advances in this program. if it could check ever 6 hours for new progrmas, or allow me to select what folders i want to even see, theres so much that installer needs, and this 2. so who ever does them first i go their vote.

[eliascgr]

I agree with pingwhen; to much stuff for average user... maybe have a developer/programer option and a regular-user-looking-for-themes-and-games mode?

[ybahman]

While that's a good idea. (developer/programmer mode option) it would get confusing for the people who would have to decide where each app falls.

A potentially easier solution would be to be able to have a mode where you could choose which repository to look through.

I see Installer going down as "The first application installer for the iPhone, which was eventually replaced by Cydia"

Well, installed it, gave it a shot. Well, something happened: I got it running once, it crashed while refreshing, now I can't get it to load. I tried uninstalling it, but I only have the option to reinstall, so I tried that, no difference. So, anyone know how to fix or manually remove it?

Edit: Sorry, missed the first post, but do you guys think if I deleted it, then reinstalled it it would start up? I won't be able to get to my PC until morning. Also, Cydia is <11MBs in Installer, whats that about?

[unplug]

yea...same thing happend to mine..
it crashed while refreshing now it just open, 3s later it closes..:S

[Lenuam]

I've got exactly the same problem.

[Crazziee]

Yep crashes for me as well. Shame because I really wanted to check it out.

Ok, this is what I've learned thus far:

If you want to remove it you should reinstall "BSD Subsystem" (under the "Uninstall" tab) then either SSH in or navigate to the "Cydia.app" folder and delete it. After doing all this you should respring (reboot). It should be gone now, but if you ever need it again you have to go to "Uninstall" and "reinstall" it.

If you have the same issue as me (it crashes after opening), install "Cydia: Manual Refresh" (located in the same repository as Cydia ["System" section in Installer]). It worked for me.

Now I get to actually use it to see what all the fuss is about.
