Would it fit within the scope of TheiPhoneWiki to make an article about common Cydia errors and how to resolve them, [http://www.jailbreakqa.com/faq#124357 starting with this information I've compiled at JailbreakQA]? I'm thinking it'd be like the [[iTunes Errors]] article. It'd be documentation about Cydia instead of about the iPhone itself, so I'm not sure.

:This wiki is not for normal user support or how-to guides, it is for people who want to understand the inner workings of the iPhone and jailbreaking. But that being said, I think documenting standard error messages does belong here, especially as Cydia is an important piece of the entire jailbreaking process. If it's just those four messages you listed in that link, we might simply want to include them as a chapter within this page here. Let's hear what others think. --[[User:Http|http]] ([[User talk:Http|talk]]) 21:38, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Icon

Can someone add a high resolution Cydia icon to this page? --JakeAnthraX 04:33, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Done. :) --Dialexio 05:03, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank You, I like images and icons for some reason. --JakeAnthraX 16:30, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Name Change?

How about Cydia.app? Sounds better, in my opinion. --dra1nerdrake 01:20, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. :) --Dialexio 02:08, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
I would prefer /var/stash/Applications.*****/Cydia.app as it sounds more like the fs --Balloonhead66 18:21, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
I think the discussion isn't finished, although someone moved it already. If everybody agrees to leave it like Cydia.app, then we should update all links (click on "what links here" to see them). -- http 19:51, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I just moved it to shut you guys up. Balloonhead66, wouldn't it be better to describe an application rather than a directory? --Palz 21:02, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
Is the name change needed? I preferred Cydia Application instead of trying to make it seem more technical for no reason. --JakeAnthraX 21:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
I just figured that since we refer to things like Switchboard.app with the *.app type name, it's appropriate to do the same for Cydia. :P --dra1nerdrake 03:10, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

This wiki is not for normal user support or how-to guides, it is for people who want to understand the inner workings of the iPhone and jailbreaking. But that being said, I think documenting standard error messages does belong here, especially as Cydia is an important piece of the entire jailbreaking process.
