On the new firmware cydia is the main program used to install apps.DO NOT choose installer over cydia.Why not use both?
Few questions
1)If you choose both and install some packages from cydia and some from installer does it mess stuff up
2) Do i need to be on 2.0.1 to do the quickpwn thing and jailbreak it
3) Does installer and cydia have the same apps, which as more if not
cheers
Right now Cydia has MUCH more than installer-although both are a little Sparse-Installer is particularly bad.
I have installed one application from installer and many from Cydia and noticed no ill effects.
As far as quickpwn-can't help you, I am a Mac user-although the pwnage tool on Mac is NOT difficult to use. I probably would not use the quickpwn even if available, as I like having a back-up of the firmware.
By quickpwn do u mean winpwn? ,the windows version? If yes then winpwn is the easiest way 2 jailbreak 2.0 ,its simple 2 use and it builds a custom firmware so u stil hav ur original 2.0.1 firmware 4 back up.If u need a detailed guide on how 2 jailbreak usin winpwn den pm me il send u a guide
No, quickpwn is a jailbreaker that can pwn 2.0.1 devices without a format.
It worked great for me (I haven't updated yet but my friend has a 2.0.1 and I tried it out because he wanted the nes emu =P)
