New Installer

Ok, so a few days a go I posted this. Now, I do know that we kinda promised a new Icy, but I had a (pretty) good idea. My working title for this idea is Fr0st, but not everyone is going to like this new installer.......

Before I give any real pictures I do want everyone to understand that Icy 2.x is not dead, its just I personally will not be working on it(that sosumeh's job). This is /not/ going to kill Icy in anyway.

Ok, so here is a quick look that I made in about an hour or two of (kinda) what I hope Fr0st will look like.

Look familiar?
















































Now of course the two donate buttons at the top of the first picture are place holders, but fr0st is currently a work in progress. Its kinda a closed system at the moment, but I am working on making it so you can add other repos than the defaults that we provide, but we currently are only supporting the following repos:

  • ModMyi
  • Big Boss
  • ultrasn0w
  • Cydia Telesphoreo
  • WeAmDev
  • ZodTTD

To people that pirate App Store software, we will never have Hackulo or SiNfuL as a default source(when we add custom repos you can do that then until then, use Icy 2.0 or Cydia for that).

Other than this, this works /REALLY/ fast, as in /faster/ than the App Store currently is, and will very soon be iPad compatible. So, tell me what you think of this app(it will soon be released as a proof of concept) via my twitter @RobinoFree or send it to our email weamdev@gmail.com.

Hope you guys like this first look!

Icy 2.1 Update

Ok, so we said Christmas release, sorry. Ben had a few problems getting Icy to install packages(kinda a big bug). So I started at the point that Max left off, and I think I got a lot of work done! Now, I did post on my twitter this image. And yes, iPads do have a custom homepage :). But what I also want to show you is these:




















Yes, landscape is working again!























Indexing on the "Installed" tab(thanks to unfinished code done by iMaximusX that I completed)
















and again, landscape, but on the iPhone!

Hope these pictures bring hope to people, but until tomorrow I can't test on an actual device, so no release for a little while longer, sorry :(.

Anyway, enjoy these pics, when I get Icy 2.1 on my iPhone I will be sure to film it and post on our YouTube account. So, in the next few weeks, keep an eye on apt.robinofree.com. But if you don't want to, we understand, we will also post a twitter announcement when it is released!

Rob's Thoughts on SiNFul iPhone

Ok, so, if you downloaded Icy from the SinFul iPhone repo we strongly suggest that you delete it. After you delete Icy, I now suggest that you should install it from our SAFE repo: apt.robinofree.com. Why we say this:

1. SiNFul iPhone is not a good repo at all. We as 100% against piracy, and since SiNFul is basically 100% pirate, we don't like them.

and

2. SiNFul also supports many AppStore pirates aswell by giving out the app "Installous". This app alows users to illegally download AppStore Apps, so aswell, this is bad.

Ok, now you may be thinking: "Isn't Icy free?" and to this we say, yes you are stealing a free balloon(SpongeBob), but just having SiNFul isn't good at all, let alone downloading apps from it. Now, looking at our support email, weamdev@gmail.com, I noticed that about 90% of all problems reported with Icy were from users that downloaded Icy from SiNFul. So is this a link to THEIR version of Icy? Probably, they copied our app and rebuilt the package with their package name(com.sinfuliphone.icy).

So, please, don't pirate! And let's start a revolution against the SiNFul iPhone Repo! I'm sure many developers will agree with us about SiNFul, and I hope that you all see the points that I brought up in this post. But anyway, enjoy the weekend, and look for Icy 2.1 soon!

Sinful iPhone

Hello all.
If you have the Sinful iPhone on your device (which we all STRONGLY advise against) you may have noticed that our Icy is on their repo. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT FROM THERE! It is already free on our repo, and many people have complained that it broken when downloaded from Sinful. We have contacted them, however there very rude staff have been arguing with me (iChromeX) a lot and generally giving me a hard time. Hopefully they will take it down, but sadly we can not do anything to stop them. We hope that Sinful ends up closing the same way Limewire did.
Thanks for reading and understanding!

About That App......

Ok, so last night I said that we are currently working on an app featuring you, the iOS community. Now, you might be asking, "Featuring Us?????" and I will answer that with:

Yes, this application uses the technology of a user forum mixed with some other cool stuff like a community owned youtube channel(which will host "how to" videos made by the community), as well as some other cool stuff that we will not announce(super secret)!

And now, I leave you all with this:

Would you submit to this community youtube channel?

send your response to our twitter account: @WeAmDev
or send it to our email: weamdev@gmail.com

Happy Icying
