Resolved Cydia Crashing When Looking at Packages That Start With "I".

[Mystikal]

So this is a weird thing that has been happening lately. I can scroll through my packages fine, but when I get to "I", Cydia crashes and closes. If I tap the "I", the same thing happens. I can tap any letter after that, and it runs fine.

Has this happened to anyone before? What can I do?

EDIT: It was iFlat 2.

That's....weird. To be honest, the amount of times I've had to reinstall bloody Cydia or do a full restore due to it not working right....grrrrr. At the moment, my current Cydia problem is that it takes minutes to load up "Changes". As in, it loads forever unless I stop it (sometimes it will load Changes up, after about 10-20 minutes)

Try this (apt-get command was removed in one of the later firmwares, so if Terminal doesn't recognise it, this does nothing )

1) Make sure you've got OpenSSH

2) SSH into iPhone root, make sure you've got MobileTerminal installed

3) Open MobileTerminal, and type this:

su

alpine (or whatever your password is)

apt-get remove cydia

apt-get install cydia

This has fixed some Cydia errors for me at least. Good luck!

I recently had the same problem except mine crashed when I got to "L". Follow these instructions and you can uninstall the package that is causing the crash.

Kind of helpful kind of not. Its tough to see what app is what in the text file when theyre all com.whatever.whatever.whatever.


Still trying to fix it.

Log in as root in Terminal v511. Enter command dpkg -l. Look for that i package. Remove it with dpkg -r com.blahblah.blahblah

Thats very tough to do when "com.blahblah" takes up the text line and I cant see package names.

If u know what package is causing it, try to google search the repo or source. Sometimes you'll find the .deb and then download to ur pc, open it up and search in the info.plist for the com._____._____.
Good luck bro, I had the same issue a couple days ago and this is how I recovered.
