IPhone Jailbreaking-- What happened to Installer?

Asked by derektherock42 (201

When iPhone firmware 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 were out, I used ZiPhone to jailbreak my iPhone. When Installer was on there, it was absolutely FILLED with all kinds of programs I could put on my iPhone. After 2.0 came out, I didn’t jailbreak it ever again because the App Store existed. Last night I decided to jailbreak it again and put both Installer and Cydia on my iPhone. Cydia’s pretty good when it comes to the amount of content it has, but Installer is absolutely terrible. There’s only a few programs to be found. Am I missing something? Are there programs that I can’t see or I’m not getting? Is Installer not nearly as good as it used to be? Or is my version of Installer not working right?

If I were you, I’d get rid of installer. Cydia is a much better and much more full featured replacement. Most of the Installer Repos have started using Cydia and no longer bother with Installer. I’ll take a wild guess and say that 99% of what you got from the old installer is in Cydia or the App Store. The rest is either in the now useless Installer or no longer supported.
