So, recently I updated my iPhone to 3.1.2. Unfortunately, the custom firmware image I used contained both Cydia and Icy. I don't own an Apple computer myself, so I am unable to build my own custom IPSW, so I asked somebody else. And no, I will not use redsn0w because it sucks. It never worked for me on my iPhone 2G, it always came in recovery mode while it should go in DFU mode. Or was it the other way around?

Now it seems, if you install both Icy and Cydia, that Icy messes up the Apt/DPKG database. Joy ... Cydia errors when trying to install anything:

Cydia: Error Couldn’t configure pre-depend dpkg for ncurses, probably a dependency cycle.


OK, this issue has annoyed me long enough. Time for some ranting.

I have a PC running Windows Vista. I have an iPod Shuffle, and I also have an iPhone. Now, the combination of these things is just terrible. Whenever I connect my iPhone or my iPod to my PC, I get the annoying message "This USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port".
