This morning marks an historic release of our beloved jailbreak package installer. Cydia 1.1 represents a huge amount of time and effort spent fine-tuning the user experience and lots and lots of speed added. Amongst the new features and functionality, the speed in performing most tasks has improved tremendously. A noticable and welcome change includes an improved Search routine and results list, as well as a perisistent-feel for using Cydia on iOS 4+ where multittasking is commonplace. The Cydia homepage and Store features have also received tons of improvements over the last few months, so be sure to check it out. Nearly all parts of Cydia on both the front- and back-end have been tenderly nourished, adding up to an entirely fresh and exciting user experience that should appeal to all. It’s a new day, it’s a new Cydia. Let everyone know, the best just got better. Note that this was a community effort. This is where open source can really shine. Rather than only Saurik doing all the work on this one, we also had significant help from chpwn, Dustin Howett, and Ryan Petrich as well as countless hours put in by Saurik, himself.
Note: community sources are no longer packages. If you delete one, you will have no way to re-add it. You will have to manually delete the file /var/lib/cydia/metadata.plist and restart cydia.

Yay
March 26th, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Nay!
March 26th, 2011 at 3:01 pm
And bigboss repo is unreachable – hmmm
March 26th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Does it update automatically or do we have to do it somehow manually? Awesome news!
March 26th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Great! I upgraded to 1.1.
But how does “Changes” work now? Previously, “Changes” highlights the updated apps that are installed on your iDevice. Now, it highlights all apps installed in the device. How do you track apps that has updates not installed on your device. This I still have yet to see when there are updates to my apps, that is, if I don’t miss them. :-(
March 26th, 2011 at 3:07 pm
Upgraded to 1.1.0, and now Cydia crashes! Press on icon, says loading…. Then just goes black! Any ideas? Already tried deleting files from /var/lib/apt/lists/.
March 26th, 2011 at 3:27 pm
Changes has not been modified in this regard.
If you have available updates, they appear at the top of the changes list under ‘Available Updates’
March 26th, 2011 at 3:30 pm
New Cydia works great on my iPhone 3G, 3GS and iPod Touch 4G.
Thank you!
March 26th, 2011 at 3:55 pm
I’m a lil newer on jailbreak community. How do u update to 1.1???
March 26th, 2011 at 4:16 pm
Start Cydia and tap “Upgrade Essential”… Now Cydia 1.1 is downloaded and installed.
March 26th, 2011 at 4:24 pm
I can not find BigBoss source in Repositorise section in Cydia v1.1 so how can I add BigBoss source to Cydia ?
March 26th, 2011 at 5:06 pm
So still no app reviews… I really hope they release reviews for apps soon since that’s my biggest problem with cydia right now.
March 26th, 2011 at 5:19 pm
Bigboss repo source not working.
I have a few update from bigboss but I cannot update now because I upgrade to Cydia 1.1
Help!!!!!
March 26th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
same Problem.
no BigBos Source in Cydia 1.1.1
how can i install it??
i made it manually, but the Server not ready…
:-(
March 26th, 2011 at 8:09 pm
When upgrading, Bigboss, Cydia Community, Dev-Team, ModMyi and ZotTTD’s sources are removed.
Bigboss Icon Set, Cydia Translations and Debian Utilities are installed.
Don’t know how to add BigBoss though../
March 26th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
lulwot.. i can’t send sms since updating Cydia.
March 26th, 2011 at 8:17 pm
nevermind.. respring and sms working again :\
March 26th, 2011 at 8:53 pm
I upgraded to 1.1 this morning and there are some things a little funky going on but nothing really major.
However one thing is I have the same issue so far with Changes, as it is listed all my installed packages at the top dated today. Not a big problem either, just mentioning it. Also it has mostly all question mark thumb representing all my installed sources.
Last thing is when I try to reboot, the springboard goes to safe mode but does all me to restart from there.
March 26th, 2011 at 9:23 pm
When I try to load up cydia it says
UNABLE TO LOAD (The certificate for this server is invalid you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “cydia.saurik.com”)…. Any help or ideas I could do to fix this?
March 26th, 2011 at 9:28 pm
I rejailbroke because the dock multitask app mucked up my ipod but now i restored my ipod and used greenpoison again but when i click on cydia it just comes on as white screen with stripes for a split second and then it comes straight back off and the cydia icon is dim for a split second then goes back to normal. please help
March 26th, 2011 at 11:44 pm
iPhone 4, 4.1.1 Works perfect right out of the box. Thanks team Saurik. One thing I notice that backgrounder does not want to background Cydia as it did with past version. New version much faster.
March 26th, 2011 at 11:48 pm
Thanks guys. Search tab is really improved. Also I had a problem with Manage Sources. It’s solved by its self update. Awesome
March 26th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
Saurik had already address this in a post previously (on another site). Basically, reviews are not worth the hassle. The downsides outweighs the benefits.
March 27th, 2011 at 12:18 am
anyone knows how to locally cached Cydia Repo icons? just like the bigboss. the new “bigboss icon set”
March 27th, 2011 at 12:54 am
Is this the jail break for 4.3?
March 27th, 2011 at 2:42 am
It works. No problem encountered. Just plain upgrade.
March 27th, 2011 at 6:41 am
It comes preinstalled. It is never added.
March 27th, 2011 at 6:41 am
They are not removed. The old way of handling them is changed. That’s all.
March 27th, 2011 at 6:43 am
I agree. I used to have my own comments section. I had to remove it due to the poor comments and spam.
March 27th, 2011 at 7:32 am
It always says “done: release” and “posix…. Blah blah blah…” when I refresh the ‘changes’, any help?
March 27th, 2011 at 7:46 am
Mostly improved, but some Features apps like Terminal.app and Cydget still don’t work for me. Saurik has to fix at least his own Cydialer. Anybody has the same problem?
March 27th, 2011 at 9:15 am
Gooood I need download Cydia
March 27th, 2011 at 9:53 am
Crash Cydia 1.1.1 on iOS 3.1.3 Respring … problem and install NoCyfresh
March 27th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
I have problem upgrading to Cydia 1.1 from current version 1.-3222-73. I have this error prompt “Bigboss’s source subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit clause 2″. How to solve this problem?
March 27th, 2011 at 1:14 pm
After installing Cydia 1.1 I got a Database screen with this message:
Encountered a section with no Package Header you may want to run Apt-Get update to correct these problem.
Same message after updated to 1.1.1
Any suggestion how to fix this or how to run the Apt-Get?
March 27th, 2011 at 3:47 pm
Make sure that your device’s Dat and Time are set accurately. When a device battery dies, the clock is reset and this also invalidates the security certificates.
March 27th, 2011 at 4:20 pm
apt.bigboss no worky. posix fail.

March 27th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Every major app store seems to be doing fine with it. Also, even online retailers are using reviews and it seems to be working great for them. If a app is truly garbage, it will most likely reflect in the reviews. If an app is great, regardless of the 1 stars from stupid people, the majority of people who love it will far outweigh the bad. Of course you’ll receive some poor comments but that’s like saying no one should drive because there are poor drivers on the road (don’t take that too literal). I believe it is more about the developers not wanting to deal any bad (but true) comments shown in reviws that would result in more work (but also better quality) application.
Reviews are a proven method to keep quality up and also helps sales as well.
March 27th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
It would obviously have to be available only to people who purchased/downloaded the app which reduces poor comments as well as spam significantly. Or are you saying you already had this kind of system in place?
March 27th, 2011 at 5:23 pm
Start Cydia and tap “Upgrade Essential”… Now Cydia 1.1 is downloaded and installed.
Unfortunatley that option does not appear for me. How do I get the upgrade option manually?
March 27th, 2011 at 9:43 pm
Replying to my previous post about the “Changes” section being screwed up and not being able to reboot the phone, after a couple of reloads of Cydia just by opening the app itself, and letting it configure and process, everything on 1.1 seems great on my 3GS 4.2.1.
Just updating my post for the developers so as to exclude one less issue. Thanks, and great work as always. David
March 28th, 2011 at 7:24 am
Awesome. Thank you to saurik and others.
March 28th, 2011 at 11:50 am
How do I jailbreak when my phone is already on iOS 4.3? Can’t do it through jailbreakme.com.
March 28th, 2011 at 1:05 pm
Cydia Home page -> More Sources,
Below default, clickbon Bigboss!!
March 28th, 2011 at 4:14 pm
Bokobok, thanks! However, I still can’t install anything from any repo on 1.1. Maybe it’s because I’m running 4.3?
March 28th, 2011 at 4:21 pm

Got “encountered a section with no package header” 3 times and Then “You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems”
Can I find out which repos are causing this ??
March 28th, 2011 at 8:03 pm
The new Cydia 1.1.1 really works faster. But in manage>sources a lot of repos are without their repo icons but with point of question icons instead.
Russian localization works, but… let’s correct grammar errors.
March 28th, 2011 at 8:23 pm
Thanx
March 29th, 2011 at 1:55 am
Thanks a lot! I never even noticed, but for some reason my phone thought it was 1970…
March 29th, 2011 at 7:26 am
I didn’t do the update now sources, package – all are empty and Cydia won’t refresh. Help, please!
March 29th, 2011 at 7:58 am
Why is cydia.hackulos empty? Also I got the information that “not all the updates were installed so blah blah using old ones. Please help, I feel my cydia didn’t upgrade fully. Thanks 3GS 4.2.1
March 29th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Where are the app ratings??????????? Everyone has ratings except cydia! if apple can do it so can you saurik!
March 30th, 2011 at 1:56 pm
Yesterday I was upgrade cydia to 1.1.1
But after upgrade cydia, my iphone battery drain very fast. The battery almost drain out after 4-5 hours, althought my iphone in standby condition.
Help me please……
March 30th, 2011 at 9:13 pm
The same happens to me… I’m about to restore my phone in order to get back to the original Cydia… :(
March 30th, 2011 at 10:51 pm
Same issue here.
March 30th, 2011 at 10:59 pm
@ nmdelrio
“How do you track apps that has updates not installed on your device.”
At the top of every info page there is a “Change Package Settings” option. It even goes so far as to give an explanation of what it does; exactly what you are looking for.
March 30th, 2011 at 11:01 pm
P.S. This feature has been there for quite some time before 1.1.
March 31st, 2011 at 7:10 pm
its not coming
If you read sauriks info on the 1.1 update he says that it was added to a unreleased version as a trial but didnt really work.
March 31st, 2011 at 7:12 pm
Cydia wasn’t supposed to be ‘backgroundable’ in the first place as it could mess up file system and kill your phone.
March 31st, 2011 at 7:14 pm
NO!
Do you not read page titles?!
it’s an update for cydia, long awaited, nothing more
April 1st, 2011 at 7:34 am
Mine too. i have to downgrade the cydia to resolve the problem
April 1st, 2011 at 11:25 am
BATTERY DRAIN!!! how do i get old cydia?
i’m the type that always monitor and write down what i install & monitor batter drain. for the last 2 months, i haven’t installed anything on my phone because i was content. all of a sudden i install the “cydia 1.1.1″ and now my battery drains are horrid.
April 1st, 2011 at 11:30 am
that’s how i got here. i googled “battery drain cydia 1.1.1″. glad i’m not the only one. i’m just pissed that i had my phone the way i wanted it for 2 months and now this. and my phone won’t back up to itunes anymore. so if i re-jailbreak, it won’t put “cydia 1.1.1″ back on my phone?
April 1st, 2011 at 11:35 am
my review” cydia 1.1.1 suck because of outrageous battery drain. now i have to re-jailbreak. lesson learned, thanks. i will make sure to pass this out on my twitter and tell them to RT.
April 1st, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Since I have my phone like I want it & haven’t DL’d any tweaks in a while I didn’t want to restore my phone. Plus itunes wanted to update it. i did the “make my life easier” option w/ 1st jailbreak. I ran the jailbreak again and my phone came back just like it did before (with same cydia 1.1.1). So, I took a chance and just uninstalled Cydia 1.1.1 package. I can still access cydia store. so i figure if want to install something, i’ll just download cydia installer first. It’s been 30 minutes & still at 100%. BIG difference. It’s obvious the Cydia 1.1.1 that is the problem. Plus my iphone 4 is brand new. My older iphone 4 battery capacity is lower and was lasting longer than new iphone 4 w/ new cydia package.
April 2nd, 2011 at 9:35 pm

April 12th, 2011 at 11:26 am
How do you remove duplicate sources list entries? I had to restore my iPhone 4, 4.1 and then ran AptBackup to restore apps. Now Cydia reports duplicate sources (BigBoss, Modmyi,Zodttd) Ran Cyfix and the dups returned.
April 13th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
any can help me how 2 download the cydia from my iPhone 4 or from combuter plz
April 14th, 2011 at 6:17 pm
Guys : Cydia OS 1.1.1 – battery drainage is really bad – 3GS 3.1.3 – phone literally does in 4 hours on edge network – forget what will happen on 3G n/w
please advice how to fix :
how to downgrade back to previous cydia os version – too much pain ?
When is saurik fixing this ? Let’s make some noise here to get his attention.
April 18th, 2011 at 11:13 am
Well I installed Cydia 1.1.1 in an off-line mode on my iPod touch 2G on iOS 4.2.1 .The installation seems to be smooth. Then I went to package list and clicked on any random package to see the details it will always show the error “Unable to Load (the Internet connection seems to be off-line)”
So it seems Cydia 1.1.1 requires always on Internet connection! If that is the case it is bad. My desktop computer is also too old and it does not have WiFi connection, basically it means I cannot get my iPod touch on wi-fi. I cannot even load the Manage tab properly. If I click on Packages, Sources or Storage section cydia still wants to go to internet, why??
So guys please tell me what do I need to do get the new cydia working. With older cydia I can at least see the package details, see the storage information, see the sources list.
All the guides, all the articles I have read assumes the user has an Internet connection at his/her disposal.
Thanks
April 19th, 2011 at 12:40 am
I got same problem on my 3gs 4.0.1. My iphone 4 4.0.1 doesn’t have this problem.
Does anyone have solution for this?
April 19th, 2011 at 12:44 am
Some people said replace bigboss.list under /etc/source could resolve this problem. But it didn’t work for me.
April 20th, 2011 at 4:15 am
Your phone got IKE WORM.
maybe you installed openssh and forgot to replace default password ‘alpine’
please check with Sysinfoplus. (install from cydia)
if you find file “poc-bbot,” running. This mean your iphone got IKE WORM.
Please remove ike worm using mobileterminal install from cydia.
rm /bin/poc-bbot
rm /bin/sshpass
rm /var/log/youcanbeclosertogod.jpg
rm /var/mobile/LockBackground.jpg
rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.ikey.bbot.plist
rm /var/lock/bbot.lock
And then replace SSH & Root password.
and last action is re-install openSSH
then reboot your iphone
after removing IKE Worm the iphone does not battery drain again.
May 6th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
