me 2 Forrest. Like i told toNYc311 “Installer blows”. I’m on an 8gb iphone 3g / 2.1, I tried to install Community Sources via Installer and soon as I hit the home button the spinning wheel of death comes out for a long minute and keeps putting me into a mode that beeps but doesn’t show anything.

So I go back into “recovery mode” and do the process all over without the Community Sources. I’ve learned after 3 tries that it does NOTHING, but mess up your i(whatever you got)*.

CYDIA is KING!!!

your not the only one toNYc311. I jailbroke mine and then went to install Community Sources and all of a sudden I get this spinning wheel for like ever and nothing changes.
So I go back into ‘recovery mode’ and do the process all over again as if i was the first time I jailbroke. Installer blows and Community Sources does the worse to your iphone.
I’ve tried 3 times as if I’d learn the last 2 that Community Sources junks your jailbreak.
CYDIA all THE way!!!

I have also updated Installer and now the red badge with ZERO on it appeared on the Installer icon.

I asked them about this issue and they answered that Rip Dev will fix this issue with next release.

I’m having the same problems with installer and just stopped using it. Does anyone know how to uninstall it and if it’s only possible through ssh which files to delete?

Hmmm, curious about this ‘red circle’ just up-dated my installer (why I keep asking myself) and I do not have the issue you guys do!! I am on mac system, 3G iPhone. Are you guys on windows? Would it make a difference?

One thing that I have noticed that realy bothers me more than anything else on installer is the new multi task idea. The idea of this is supposed to be so you can browse through apps while one is installing and extra. Anyway this always freezes my iTouch (8gig). The iPod attemps to reboot after I force it to and will freeze when booting up. I have had to recover my Ipod countless times and most of the times it’s because installer screwed something up. I thought the intaller in 1.1.4 was much better. Something similuar to that would be great in future updates.

There is another problem I have been having with Installer. It’s been going on since the previous version and precious firmware. I’m currently on 2.1 iPhone3G.

The problem is the respringing process. I install/uninstall an app and when the springboard resprings it takes 3 MINUTES+. I get the spinning wheel and the phone chirps then the wheel keeps spinning. Then as it’s respringing it resprings again!!! This process seems like the phone is stuck but eventually it reverts back to the Home Screen.

It makes me not want to use Installer at all. Even with this update I’m still having this problem and now the Ã¼ber-annoying 0 badge. Luckily the theme I’m using it doesn’t bother me too much. But anyway is anyone else having this problem with app install/uninstall on Installer?
