Ouch. This is precisely why i hold off for at least 10-14 days before upgrading to newer firmware and re-jailbreaking. Too many random problems that come up down the road, plus the possibility of jailbreak apps getting borked. I guess i'll hold off even longer, as i love how stable my 2.1 jb has been for quite a while now.
Gonna take a lot more than Google street view to get me to risk my jb, cause other than that 2.2 adds nothing that i couldn't already do with my jailbroken 2.1. Good luck with your problems though and let us know if you find the cause of it. (Oh, and did you restore first to 2.2 then rejailbreak? If you just hit "update" while jailbroken with 2.1, I believe that could be a problem as doing a straight up update with a jailbroken phone is never recommended).
Yeah I restored it. I'm almost positive I did the update correctly, I was just curious if anyone else was noticing any problems as well. But yes I am a little bummed I updated when I was so in love with my jb 2.1 phone.
There is no big incentive to upgrade to 2.2 right away. Street view? WOW I don't even use that on my PC.

I hear what your saying but there's some cool new features in 2.2 that would be cool to have. I don't want to paint the picture like my phone isn't working it just feels a little buggy but there isn't apps straight up not working, like right now I'm using PdaNet to be on the internet and its fine.

I'm looking forward to the podcast download...
This is the only report I've seen of a slowdown, which I don't see how it could get any slower as 2.1 has been the slowest garbage ever! Just loading the damn camera seems to take 10-15 seconds... 2.2 can't be much worse

If your still running an old version of Winterboard you need to update. There is an updated posted this morning in Cydia. It opens apps like your phone is not even jailbroken.
2.2 and new winterboard SMOKES 2.1

Thanks for the heads up mate "serious speed improvements" apparently.
Off to try now! 😀
The thing is that with quickpwn 2.2 i don't think you can deselect installer.app. It already packages that application with the rest. Correct?

Just SSH and delete that crap out of there. I created a backup first just incase there were any secondary effects. I have noticed no ill effects yet. Also, with the new Winterboard update the phone is very fast...so I didn't notice any speed improvements when Installer was removed.

True. Does it free up much space mate? I noticed I only have 60MB free in "/".
Right. Sure. 🙄
The extra battery life, more responsive keyboard popups, faster safari and overall more snappiness that is pretty close to 1.1.4 on my iphone is NO no big incentive to upgrade to 2.2.

Not much, but why have it if you don't use it. Every little bit counts I guess, especially in your case.
One thing to consider is how you performed the upgrade. Did you Update or did you Restore? If you updated you are loosing space because of the way Cydia moves things around. I gained back 1gig of space when I restored to 2.2 because the last two time I only Updated.
I updated this time, so next update I will restore 🙂
By the way this is on "/" not "/var" which has 3GB left.
How much free space is normalish on "/" anyone?
