We recently heard the news that Comex was going to help create an alternative to Cydia and its Cydia Substrate, for those who do not know, Cydia Substrate is the tweak that we all have installed and allows the other tweaks to work, since it is what really injects the code into other apps.
The supposed alternative is called imods, and its goal is to be completely open and at the same time fix defects that Cydia has, for example better protecting tweaks so that cracked versions cannot be downloaded, using a nice and simple interface unlike the web-based Cydia, eliminating the need to restart the springboard every time we install a tweak, and many more ...
So you can see what's going on imods I leave you this video and the link to its official website (click here):
Many known developers As the creator of the theme Andora (@timeloop on Twitter) they work or at least contribute to this project, although its release date to the public was scheduled for the end of 2014 and it turns out that we continue without news (it must also be said that this developer of the which I have put on his Twitter suffered an accident recently and his house caught fire, he lost almost everything, and having family, he has recovered a bit thanks to the fact that the users of his tweaks and topics asked him to accept donations, but he still has many things to solve and recover, perhaps that is one reason why iMods was somewhat paralyzed recently).
This is where Comex comes in, apparently the developers (despite knowing perfectly how to take care of the interface and that) have not been able to solve some more technical aspects, and Comex is going to be in charge of giving them a hand in the development of what should replace Cydia Substrate.
For his part, Saurik defends that open source is not always the best, and for that reason and to avoid problems and even that the jailbreak becomes illegal, Saurik keeps Cydia Substrate and Cydia Installer (the app) as private and closed source projects.
We hope to see more news of this promising project very soon, meanwhile Saurik, despite claiming that he would not go to war with anyone even if he wanted to take away the monopoly from Cydia, has launched a last minute desperate measure slightly redesigning the look of Cydia, making everything more flat, and has announced that it will strive to improve Cydia and to make developing tweaks easier, also claiming that we will see news soon.
As soon as more is known about the subject, we will inform you first-hand.
