Anyone know what happened to the original Installer that was included in the 1.1.4 firmware?
For about a week or so, no updates nor any new programs are showing up.

* Installer (79%, 1,159 Votes)
* Cydia (14%, 211 Votes)
* App Store (34%, 503 Votes)
* OpenSSH (9%, 139 Votes)

Total Voters: 1,467

79% + 14% + 34% + 9% = 136%

It’s counting the percent based on the number of total voters instead of votes. Needs fixing

I still like installer but App Store is a close second for me.

I bought my iPhone already jailbroken and unlocked on ebay. 1st gen 1.1.4. I guess I am lucky because I have never had any problems from any app via the installer. I have installed and unistalled over 120 apps. I still run 1.1.4 software and have about 65 apps on it. The only time my phone crashed I was on apple wb site watching an apple video. After resetting by holding the two bottoms everything was fine.
Is there a way I can find out what method that was used to jailbreak my phone because I have had flawless service from it? That is one of the reasons why I am not in a hurry to upgrade and try to jailbreak. I don’t want to screw up my flawless phone.

I have over 60 free apps, and they are fine for me. The only money I spent was updating to fware 2.0 on my touch

The poll is multiple choice, so you can pick them all

I like the wide variety of apps available in the Installer, but for stability, I have to say the App Store is better. I have yet to have to restore my phone as a result of the App Store, but I had to do it several times in the short time I had a jailbroken iPhone. That’s very annoying, and time-consuming if you want to re-download everything. I can get pretty much everything I want from the App Store, so I have to give my vote to stability over variety. I wasn’t interested in most of the Installer apps anyway.
