Icy – Cydia Replacement for Jailbroken iPhone

 

If you have an iPhone and you performed Jailbreak you probably use Cydia for downloading additional apps that you cannot find in the official Apple appstore.


I feel that Cydia is too slow. Sometimes it takes ~2 minutes only to start Cydia. Luckily Ripdev team made a replacement for Cydia called Icy. The great thing about Icy is that it works on the same packaging system that Cydia use. So you’ll see the same sources and apps installed both in Icy and in Cydia.

What is Icy?

Icy is our take on the freeware package manager that uses APT repositories to install and remove packages available in another free iPhone installer application, Cydia. The goal was to create a fast, lightweight and more slick solution that is easy and cool to use. Icy is already at version 1.3, and we're working diligently on more improvements.

How To Install

From Cydia: Add a new source http://apt.ripdev.com and then install Icy from the Packaging category.
