What it does

  • Press Home and Cydia stays in the background instead of quitting, so it opens right where you left it with no Reloading Data.
  • It switches on Cydia's own iOS 8 background mode: if packages change while it's away, Cydia reloads them when you come back, and after 30 minutes it goes back to the Home tab.
  • If a refresh is still running when you press Home, Cydia quits like it always did.
  • Comes with Vnode Limit, so a Cydia refresh can't run iOS 6 out of open files.

Depends

Cydia Substrate
Vnode Limit
