So cydia has made its way to android, has anybody used it yet and is this going to do anything special for us?
If I helped please press the thank you button.
I've used it. It's malware.

Stop spreading malware rumors. Saurik, creator of cydia for iOS, announced this app on his blog.

Cydia on android??
It's not malware. Is this enough proof for you? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/cydia-substrate-released-by-saurik-for-android/
I tried it but it gave me an error called frowny pants and nothing else. Supposedly winterboard is available but I couldn't get past frowny pants.

Here is the announcement from his twitter account: https://twitter.com/saurik/status/334357924287750144
Here is the official site: http://www.cydiasubstrate.com/
You will need to make sure you are on a 4.2.2 ROM. Any ROM I tried it with that was using 4.1.2 would give me frowny pants. I also know its not malicious. I have used it during for my iPhone forever with no problems.

We don't care about the iPhone here. We know what cydia is, what we were asking was, if the android Cydia app was malicious of some sort. We must be careful of Apps that require root

If you knew what cydia was you wouldn't even be making that statement.

I own an iPhone 5 along with an iPod touch 5g, I KNOW what it is, and I didn't make the statement, all I asked for was a link. Literally my first comment was "link?". And just because an app has a name doesn't mean anything. I can easily make a malicious app name it "iTunes" throw it out there. Are you going to say "well I know what iTunes is so its safe!". No. Please leave now.

Like Titanium Backup, WiFi Tether, ROM Manager, AdFree, and more..... In the case of saurik's app, his reputation should give people little hesitation in installing it.
Need to get my phone back to stock for warranty exchange. What's the best way? Can someone please attach a link to what the recommend. Thanks in advance!!

A sticky thread is a thread stuck at the top of a forum. This is nothing to do with being an expert. This is common, internet language.

The info is not scattered. Everything you need to know is a sticky thread in general

And I'd like to add that the first sticky thread of the section you have posted has 2 links to know how to root.
We are not scattered. We are meticulous lol

Please don't recommend this. Following step-by-step guides don't help people learn what they need to know. What we have in general is not only more comprehensive but also what many of we more experienced modders would consider an essential baseline of knowledge.
