In Cydia’s latest update there are major improvments to functionality and usability. After installing this update you will prompted to select your “user profile”. You have three choices; User (graphical apps), Hacker (command line apps), or Developer (all apps). The point of these profiles is hide all the development or command line tools that many average app users don’t care for. This will make navigating to what you want quicker by cutting out all the fat you don’t need, of course you can always change your profile later on by accessing Settings under the new ‘Manage’ feature.
This new ‘Manage’ feature is the bulk of the update with two current options for ‘Sources’ or ‘Packages’ and an ominous coming soon third option that you can’t select labeled ‘Storage’.
If you select the ‘Packages’ option you will be taken to a new screen that will allow you actually turn on/off (hide/unhide) any Cydia categories. This gives you another way to reduce bloat and keep a streamlined interface customized to your needs.
Finally if you select the ‘Sources’ option you will be shown a new screen that allows to now add new sources by inputting their URL. Note this URL must be a Cydia source not just any apt repo.
Pretty damn cool. It still doesnt look like it can compete witrh Installer 4.0, but it does look very promising. Especially with WinterBoard released, it’s showing a lot of potential!
We’ll have wait and see when Installer 4.0 comes out
“WAIT” being the key word… Taking foreverrr! : )
This update still makes Cyndia crap. You still get Posix error still show up. -.-

There was an update to the Cydia program within the last week and now every time I open it all my free apps start crashing. I removed all the free apps then reapplied them then they work again. To be sure this was or wasn’t the problem I didn’t open Cydia for several days and had no problems, I opened the application earlier today and now the issues have returned.
