A Desired Feature for Cydia
I’m not really a gigantic apple fan, but thanks to my parents and the art of Hand-Me-Downs I managed to acquire an iPhone 3G.
I’ve been using this 3G for awhile, and of course one of the things I absolutely had to do with it was Jailbreak the device. I don’t pirate or anything, but Jailbreaking it does bring fantastic changes to it that simply would not have been possible on the 3G otherwise.
For example, I use Z-Toggle and Bootlace: Z-Toggle for activating nice little features (Background Wallpaper, Battery Percentage) and Bootlace for giving me Android as an optional boot-method (iDroid is far from completion, though), and I just now finished installing and modifying the settings for Backgrounder, since 4.2 broke native multi-tasking on the old 3G device (I have no idea why), and I’ve already got accustomed to using it.
But there is one problem with Cydia I don’t believe has been addressed yet, and it would be nice if Cydia were to automatically store your custom sources and a list of the programs you’ve installed, so that when you re-install a new iOS (by starting from scratch so that you don’t continually lose space on your iPhone) and re-jailbreak your device, it sees the file and also helps convert your iPhone back to the jailbroken way it was.
This would be a very nice feature, and one I’m sure anyone would welcome.
