Rock Out With Your Cydia Out

[buckles08]

hi
thnx for the reply ,but i run the cm -s /bin/chown /usr/bin/chown in moble ter and is nothing happening ?? it said no such file or directory

@Outofscope:

Cydia uses Debian's well-documented APT repository format, which you should find ample documentation for. However, I understand that the documentation may be too extensive or unclear in some regards, so I am in the process of writing up a little article/guide. I should probably stop procrastinating and get it done today. In any case, while you're waiting for the guide, take a look at the following repositories in your web browser (these are currently the 2 default repositories bundled with Cydia):

http://modmyi.com/repo/
http://apt.saurik.com/

as examples of working repositories, and I'd also like to point out that we are in the process of creating a tool to automatically create a Cydia-compatible repository from an Installer Repo. The ModMyI repo was generated in 29 seconds from its Installer counterpart. We call this tool the Debicizer (thanks to Erica Sadun for the catchy name ) and it will hopefully be a cross-platform open-source tool, with plans for a Mac GUI Repository Creator in the near future.

Cydia and Telesphoreo are under active development, and they will only get better over time, so keep your eyes peeled for further updates!

Note: for those of you interested in the debicizer project, the current project location is:

the 11mb file, will this install to 'mobile' part of my iphone?
as i have only 7mb free on that partition, but 2gb free on media

ive used boss tools before, which screwed up my iphone, is there any new way of moving apps?

im on 1.1.3 using ziphone method

thanks

@buckles08:

This issue has now been fixed, refresh in Cydia (the button at the top-right corner of the screen) and then, under Changes, hit Upgrade All.

@metaljay:

Don't worry about free space, Cydia will make free space for itself before installing to make sure you don't face any problems later on

thanks for the quick reply,

ive read all about tthis fake bsd sub. like most installer users, i have this already installed,

ive read already that i dont need to do anything, but if i was to uninstall cydia, would i have to install bsd from installer again? would installer show it has removed?

thanks

From one of my earlier replies, I pointed out that just like BSD, you cannot uninstall Cydia, only reinstall. You can, however, go into terminal, and run the following command to remove the GUI (and keep the subsystem):

apt-get remove cydia

You will then be asked to confirm by responding with: Yes, do as I say!

When thats done, restart springboard, and you will be Cydia-less again, but still with the awesome subsystem that it comes with. If you ever feel like installing Cydia again, you can either Reinstall it from Installer, or you can do:

apt-get update
apt-get install cydia

brilliant, i wasnt planning on uninstalling it, just was curious.

Also, just an idea. but origionally on 1.1.1 you would have to visit jaailbreakme.com which would active your phone and install 'installer' for you

why not make your own, which would also activate the iphone and install cydia? instead of 'installer'?

im sure i.unlock.no moddded the .tiff.

so could this be done?

read the front page,

add a source to installer then look under system cat

also just noticed, it says

"Cydia is easy for you to get on your iPhone - if you've got Installer on your iPhone/iPod Touch (and have used BigBoss's tool to move your apps folder to give you more space - that's in Installer also),"

why would using bosstools make a diference?
im using catorgies, and boss tools always seems to corrupt my programs and they disappeare.
what benefit would i gain from using bosstools first?
