Icy Installer is Back! If you don’t know who RipDev is then you must be new to the scene. To keep it short, when the first iphone was jailbroken in 2007 RipDev made Installer which was the Cydia of iPhone's back in the day. It didn’t last long though because Saurik broke into the scene and took over with Cydia. RipDev tried to make a comeback with ICY a new and fast debian package installer but it didn’t stick and they quit development on it a year ago. However now WeAmDev has picked up where RipDev left off and has brought back Icy!
Installation
Installation
- Open Cydia and make sure http://www.sinfuliphonerepo.com is added to your sources
- Tap on Sections > SiNfuL iPhone and install Icy
- Here is the deb file if you want to manually install Icy v2.0.1b1
Also don't forget to add SiNfuL iPhone to your Icy sources once you get it installed.
Icy -> Sources -> Edit -> Plus Sign -> Select "Custom" -> Add -> http://www.sinfuliphonerepo.com -> Add -> Done -> Then hit the REFRESH icon to refresh the source!
I tested it out and it actually works pretty damn good! Also as most of you might already know I updated the repo to include a nice new layout which is 100% compatible with Icy. Even the screenshots which are not working well in Cydia right now are working PERFECT in Icy!
***EDIT***
Alright well after using Icy for a few days I felt it was necessary to give an honest evaluation which is that this app just isn't 100% fully there yet. There are still several issues that need to be worked out before it can even come close to being a Cydia Killer. My advice is to just keep using Cydia for now and only use Icy as a backup resource.
