Why Choose Cydia 2 Over Original Cydia?

Traditional Cydia is now outdated and is no longer supported on newer iPhone or iPad versions due to Apple’s new security. Full jailbreak tools for it are also unavailable.

Instead, you can get Cydia 2 for iOS 18.2, now extended to support iOS 18.3, 18.4, and 18.5b.

Unlike the Cydia advanced functionality, Cydia 2 features a fresh UI and a user-friendly interface for adding and removing rootless repos & sources.

Modern Cydia 2 features:

• No Jailbreak Needed: Full Cydia only works on jailbrokenken devices, but Cydia 2 works perfectly on all kind of devices without jailbreaking and limitations.

• iOS 18.2 – 18.2.1 Optimized Jailbreak Features: Cydia 2 introduces a new collection of third-party repos, providing access to alternative iOS apps, tweaks, and themes outside the Apple Store.

• Easy installation: No PC, sideloadly, or cables required. Cydia needs them, making it harder and riskier – especially if you’re not a jailbreak expert – potentially affecting your warranty.

• Permanent & lifetime access: Cydia 2 stays installed without weekly reactivation. Cydia often faces 7-day resigning issues.

• Ongoing Updates: Cydia 2 is actively developed with new features, while Cydia is discontinued and seems to be dead.

Nugget as a Cydia 2 Alternative

The Nugget Customization Tool version 5.1 has been released. It features the ability to import videos in .mp4 or .mov formats and set them as wallpapers on your iOS 17-18.1.1 and iOS 18.2 Developer 3 (partially supported) devices without jailbreaking.

You can choose to reverse the video on loop, opt to have it cover the clock, and it scales automatically, though it is limited to 300 frames.

Most preferred Nugget features:

• Dynamic Island Anywhere: Enable this feature on any iPhone, not just the latest models.
• Custom Sounds & Limits: Add a boot chime, charging limiter and tweak Apple Intelligence settings.
• Device Name Swap: Change your iPhone’s model name and more.

Note: If you lack knowledge of the Python coding language and PC-based installation, be cautious when using Nugget. Its installation process can be risky and may damage your device. Consider using Cydia 2 for safe iOS customization.
