Cydia Finally Updated For iOS 7

Ladies and gentlemen, please let me introduce for you Cydia 1.1.9. A new update for Cydia has just released which completely redesign Cydia store to support iOS 7 new GUI design. The new update of Cydia comes after a hard work from Saurik and other group of hackers in building a new design for Cydia…

Below I’ve uploaded a group of pictures from inside Cydia store and the design looks beautiful and well made. Now you can quickly update Cydia to its new makeover by following these steps:

STEP 1: Tap on Cydia store from your iPhone’s homescreen
STEP 2: Now wait until Cydia reload data as usual.
STEP 3: Now you will be asked to make a complete Update, tap on it.
STEP 4: That’s it, wait until everything is finished up and Cydia will restore itself.

Check out the following video:  

Saurik explains the reasoning and work involved with the updated version of Cydia, and it’s impressive:

Due to evasi0n 7 having been released with an unofficial build of “Cydia”, I had to upgrade Cydia via a package. This is more complex, as packages I release in my repository have to work for all users, not just those on the latest firmware. I have managed to get Cydia 1.1.9 working on iOS 2-7.

The fact that he was able to maintaining compatibility back all the way to iPhoneOS 2.x is crazy. That no doubt had to take a ton of work and regression testing in order to pull off properly. For that very reason, Saurik explains that there may be some underlying issues that still need fixing:

Please understand that there are still some things about this build that are “not quite right” (including the dropbar, which I want to have work like the iTunes Store’s song preview bar, but right now is simply broken). I needed to get this out so I could move to Substrate, and thereby kind of hacked that together.

Now here’s some screenshots for your new Cydia and how it looks like:

 And finally here’s how Cydia will look like on iPad:

So how do you find the new Cydia ?

You can find the updated version of Cydia Installer and UIKit Tools on Saurik’s very own Cydia/Telesphoreo repo. The download, is, of course, free of charge, and should be used by all who are currently jailbroken on iOS 7. Let us know what you think about the new Cydia in the comments below. And check back here shortly for the full video walkthrough and details.
