Maybe open cydia and look at installed packages, to make sure it's installed? It's called fixoptimum, or something like that.
Got a tip for us?

its installed, even if i type in the wrong login info it still gives me the same error by default. the os is modiefied message blah blah blah. wonder if something is chached on my phone, i even tried reinstalling the optimum app.
.Deb Worked with iPhone but not iPad
As the subject says:
Iphone 4 running 4.3.3 = OK
Ipad 2 running 4.3.3 = no good. NOW GOOD! Read below.
Downloaded .deb file into iFile, installed with iFile, rebooted (not respring) and after a few logins it works on the iphone 4 again.
Update:
The solution offered by drg0nz0 for the iPad does work just fine (solution is further down). This is far easier than constantly renaming cydia.
My iPad 2 running 4.3.3 is good to go. Tx.

AT&T iPhone 3GS running 4.3.3 = IT WORKED!!!!!
I downloaded and installed the .deb using iFile, resprung, rebooted & it worked first try!

Installed deb
The app works now to watch live tv. It does not control the cable boxes and it lists me as having 6 extra sd boxes.
One thing odd is that my phone lost the swirling icon on reboot and respiring. The icon is kind of a bubble static square now.

Hi all,
I was on another thread about the TWC solution, and the same code TWC used to detect jailbroken iThings seems to be in use by CV. If you rename Cydia's directory AND apt's directory, the Optimum app will finally work!
I've done this to my iPad v1, and it's working again.
For reference, you can look up the directory paths here.

I'm not sure what other apps can help manipulate the filesystem (perhaps iFile can rename things?), but for everyone that's familiar with using a shell:
1. Log into your iThing using its IP address:
2. Rename your Cydia directory and your 'apt' package directory to whatever you want. Note that, in the future, you'll have to rename these BACK to their original names when you want to use Cydia or install something:
3. Log out and start Optimum app:
That's it! If you haven't setup your iThing's password beforehand, it will be the default password (which I've forgotten long ago, you will find it on the net).
1. Log into your iThing using its IP address:
Code:
$ ssh root@192.168.1.22. Rename your Cydia directory and your 'apt' package directory to whatever you want. Note that, in the future, you'll have to rename these BACK to their original names when you want to use Cydia or install something:
Code:
$ mv /Applications/Cydia.app /Applications/SomeOtherName
$ mv /private/var/lib/apt /private/var/lib/SomeOtherName3. Log out and start Optimum app:
Code:
$ exitThat's it! If you haven't setup your iThing's password beforehand, it will be the default password (which I've forgotten long ago, you will find it on the net).
Awesome fix
I got this working on the iPad. The issue is the iPad executable is different from the iPhone executable. After installing the .deb file you have to edit /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/Optimum.plist change the quoted value to Optimum. So there is no need to rename cydia.

Simple solution for iPad and iPhone any models
I found information about very simple solution for iPad and iPhone any models:
Rename your Cydia directory and your 'apt' package directory to whatever you want. Note that, in the future, you'll have to rename these BACK to their original names when you want to use Cydia or install something:
/Applications/Cydia.app rename to /Applications/SomeOtherName
/private/var/lib/apt rename to /private/var/lib/SomeOtherName
This is it!!! Log in to Optimum - everything is working now!!!!
Tested on my iPad2 and iPhone 4 both running 4.3.3.
Current Optimum software version 2.0.1

Yeah installing this .deb fix and editing the file is a much better solution you don't have to keep changing your cydia and apt names.
This worked for me. Thank you!!
Can you give details on this please.. I'm not sure what value to change I have tried a couple but it hasn't work for me yet.. If u have pics I would appreciated thank you!!!
I thought tried this.. Can u copy n paste on here what u did on the optimum.plist?? I wanna know how your optimum.plist looks like.. Thank very much for your help!
