Saurik, the developer of Cydia, Cycorder, and many others, has successfully ported the old MobileFinder from 1.1.4 and earlier, to the 2.0+ firmwares. The MobileFinder in the App Store can be modified to browse the file system, but is crippled since it does not run with root privileges and can do no more than explore. This MobileFinder works great, with few bugs. » MobileFinder from 1.1.4 ported to 2.0 by Saurik

Some of you may experience some issues after updating Cydia and installing or de-installing applications. The error you may see is Mobile Substrate Safe Mode. According to Saurik it has to do with Winterboard and the update of Mobile Substrate in Cydia. This was needed to get many applications compatible with firmware 2.1. The text full of pop-up error that appears is as follows:

A new package available via Cydia enables you to get a five-icon dock just by itself without using Kate or something else. It’s called “Five Icon Dock” and it’s developed by Jay Freeman, otherwise known as Saurik, the developer of Cydia. It works very well with no bugs or compatibility issues so far. » Get a five-icon dock without Kate
