Bring the iOS environment to Androidįor such purpose, this Cydia for Android, which mustn't be confused with Cydia Substrate (the platform that used to allow us to carry out modifications on our apps), doesn't have exactly the same functions as the iPhone version as we don't have to go through too much trouble to find mods and unofficial apps.Īpp store with themes perfectly sorted into categories and loads of games. On Android it's much easier to make use of apps from non-official stores, therefore, the exact equivalent on Google's operating system doesn't make too much sense. By default, Cydia includes the third party repos BigBoss, ModMyi, ZodTTD/MacCiti and, as well as its own Telesphoreo repo.As you probably already know, Cydia is a powerful software manager for iOS that allows iPhone and iPad users, provided that they have a jailbreak, install on their mobile devices applications that aren't in the App Store or modifications of applications that haven't been authorized by their developers. The translations package ( cydia-lproj), however, hasn't been updated since 13 June 2014 (1.1.12).Īs a frontend for APT, Cydia allows users to add/remove repositories where they can install packages. Some older jailbreak tools install smaller apps (such as Loader.app for greenpois0n or blackra1n.app for blackra1n and limera1n) to download and install Cydia directly on the device instead of having it installed at the same time as jailbreaking, making for a lighter initial download and jailbreak.Ĭydia's latest stable version is 1.1.30, which supports all devices (except Apple TVs and Apple Watches) running iPhone OS 2.0 - iOS 12.4. It is found in every mainstream jailbreak tool since iPhone OS 2.0 (with the exception of Chimera, which uses Sileo as its main package manager). Cydia is an open source software installer created by saurik that uses the Debian APT system for package management.
