How to install Updated version of Cydia 1.1.9 on iOS 7

          

You can find 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.

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.

So in other words, most of your basic functionality should work without many issues, but there are still some features and fixes that Saurik wishes to implement in a future Cydia update.
