When it was first released it was running a bit slow but now that the rush of people downloading it is over it’s running great.

Also, don’t worry about some of your sources being uninstalled during the process. They will still be there as explained in this tweet:

Here are some screenshots of the new Cydia.

UPDATE: While writing this article, version 1.1.1 was released. As of now, I do not know what changes where made but if we find out, we will let you know.

Remember: If you are jailbroke and want to keep your jailbreak… hold off on updating to iOS 4.3. We will let you know when there is a new jailbreak out. The Dev-Team says that the wait shouldn’t be too long because @i0n1c has a 4.3 untether ready. We’ll keep our eye out.

This update contains new features and improvements, including the following:

    • Personal Hotspot*

If there seems to be apps missing from the list, Saurik has a list a reasons why they might not be showing up:

1) The package might be discontinued by the vendor. I have spent a bunch of time figuring out how to maintain a list of what is “currently hosted”, so this list only includes things that are available.

2) You probably logged in with the wrong account. Remember: Cydia does not ever use PayPal or Amazon accounts for login, only for payment.

Also, users sometimes have multiple Facebook accounts or multiple Gmail accounts, and most people have both an account with Facebook and an account with Gmail: each of these is separate: there is no way for me to know they are all the same person.

I seriously have lost track of the larger number of users who have adamantly sworn to either myself or to a vendor that they have only ever logged in with a single account: trust me, Cydia has only once ever had a “lost payments” bug, and it was only due to PayPal going offline and returning the wrong error code. I did not lose your payment: try another account… please?

3) You purchased the product directly from the vendor, and Cydia does not keep the records for that transaction.

In this situation, you still may see “Package Officially Purchased” on the product: Cydia’s backend APIs allow developers to integrate into the product licensing as seen by Cydia’s UI. Still, it is not practical to iterate every product here to build a “complete” list.

4) You didn’t buy this product from Cydia, you bought it from Rock. In this case, while Cydia has tried very hard to automatically connect together accounts “as if by magic”, sometimes you will need to manually associate your Rock account. You can do that using the giant buttons on any ex-Rock product.

What’s New in Version 3.0.1

3.0.1 includes bug fixes and improvements to the just-released Gowalla 3.

- fixed issues with creating a new spot
- improved the initial launch experience
- improved the speed and efficiency of location updates
- other text and design improvements

Since we launched Google Voice for iPhone a few weeks ago, we’ve been hard at work to add a few improvements that didn’t make it into the first release.

At the top of the list was adding support for iPod Touch and iPad. Starting today, you can download a new version of Google Voice that lets you use all the features of the app on these devices, such as sending and receiving free text messages – except, of course, make cellular calls.

While you can’t use your iPod or iPad as a phone, you can use it to initiate Google Voice calls with your phones. We call this feature Click2Call. Simply click any ‘Call’ button in the Google Voice app on your iPod or iPad and then select which of your phones you want to ring. Google Voice will call your phone and then connect your call.

What’s New In This Version:
* Support for iPod Touch
* iPod Touch and iPhone can now make calls using Click2Call
* Do Not Disturb setting
* Text forwarding is automatically disabled when registering for Push notifications
* Added Text forwarding setting to the app
* Easier to make calls from the phone Address Book
* Removed annoying OK dialog every time you send an SMS
* Fixed crashes caused by text messages that begin with a space character
* Fixed bug that caused the entire Inbox to load
* Fixed bug that caused Contact pictures to get mixed up
* Improved access to Contact groups
* Improved speed of Contact search

As of the writing of this article, Cydia isn’t ready for 4.2 and I’m also not sure that this will work on the iPad for sure. Please correct me on this. The dev team blog says to point redsn0w at firmware 4.1. The iPhone runs 4.1 but not the iPad. You may be able to point it a previous iPad firmware but I haven’t tested this yet. I’m honestly waiting to jailbreak myself once Cydia is ready. We will update this article once we can confirm. I recommend syncing your device before starting this.

Instructions on updating to 4.2

1. Download the newest version of iTunes, 10.1 (links here)

2. Install the new iTunes.

3. Download the correct firmware for your device. (http://gumballtech.com/2010/11/01/ios-4-2-gm-released-for-all-devices-download-here/)

4. In iTunes, select your device and hold the Shift(windows) or Option(Mac) key while clicking the update button. This will open a window to choose your own firmware. Select the one you Just downloaded.

5. Now just wait until the update is complete. You will then have firmware 4.2!

Instructions on Jailbreaking 4.2

1. Download redsn0w from here: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/1452044444/redsn0w-limera1n-fun

2. Your device will be on 4.2 but when you run redsn0w you will select firmware 4.1 on your computer. You can download firmware 4.1 for your iPhone here. Just follow the instuctions with redsn0w and you’ll be jailbroken. Remember, Cydia is not yet working on 4.2.

What’s New In This Version:

One of the best hacks for the iPhone, SBSettings, now works with firmware 4.0. This hack let’s you swipe the status bar and a drop down menu pops out with all kinds of quick settings like brightness adjustment and toggles for wifi, bluetooth and 3G. There are different themes, all kinds of info like running processes, IP address, & memory. Best of all, it’s free. This is a must have app!

See our past reviews of SBSettings for more detailed descriptions.

Note: there is a small bug for 4.0.

ATTENTION 4.0 USERS: Currently an activator bug prevents the SBSettings window from appearing in some apps. For the time being, load settings, activator, and set SBSettings also to short hold home so you can hold home button to also bring up sbsettings in apps.

Description

Welcome to convenience! Move your important toggles directly into Springboard where they are always available instantly even while other apps are running.

Known 4.0 Issues
