Are people using iCleaner or iCleaner Pro on iOS 9.3.3 ?

Which is the better option ?

I recall iCleaner being reported as adversely affecting the last JB. Is that not the case now ?
 
I initially reinstalled icleaner (since I had it on my previous 8.4 jb) on 9.3.3 and had no problems. I only found out about the pro when looking for updated tweaks and read around that the pro offers a bit more options like preference files. I have this version installed now and it performs well.

So really, can't go wrong with either. If you're after more options to clean up then the pro is the way to go.
 
I just did the update a few days ago for icleaner.
On the change log it indicated that it fixed the issues it had with the 9.3.3 JB
But I'm still on 9.0.2 so not sure if it's 100% good to go for your version yet.
Maybe someone else that tested it out can tell us.

I ran icleaner yesterday after clearing out unused apps. No issues that I see.
 
I use iCleaner Pro (bought it at one point, hate the ads). One of the first set of tweaks I reinstalled when the 9.0.2 jailbreak dropped.

There was some initial issues that people had with iCleaner back then and I did experience a bootloop after cleaning caches at one point. However, that resolved back to Flipswitch and Activator at the time for me. Although iCleaner Pro did seem to act somewhat glitchy.

I left it installed, but didn't use it really and the dev later updated it. In the few times since then I've needed it (to troubleshoot problem tweaks and delete pref files as well as clean caches) it's been solid.

My understanding now is that it's got some sort of new stuff that will prevent things belonging to the new jailbreak from being tampered with by the user.

From the changelog in Cydia, iCleaner is the upgrade from iCleaner Pro (yes, I bought it.)

And it works just fine on 9.3.3. On first run it cleaned up 1.52GB.


Do you guys mind posting up a screenshot of what settings you've got turned on in iCleaner.

Why do you guys have Cydia Sources not toggled On.

And what's Unused Dependancies.

In my Cydia icleaner is version 7.5.3

It looks for Cydia dependency files that were downloaded along cause a Cydia app needed them. But once removed or the app tags them as no longer being dependencies they're wasting space. This option checks to see if any package actually needs them and if not removes it.

Thank you for your clarification.

So the query stands. Is it safe to toggle iCleaner on to scan and clean that section?
 
Hmmm I think I'll leave the Cydia Sources alone with iCleaner.

And toggle it on for Unused dependencies.
 
It just flushes the cache files. Shouldn't delete the sources in app, they relist next time you refresh Cydia.

I have toggled it on from the start. Especially handy when you install a tweak that doesn't react well with another tweak, uninstall it and run iCleaner to get rid of any stuff that was left over from the uninstalled tweak.
