Cydia and Sileo on Checkra1n: In case if you miss it, the Sileo Team officially launched Diatrus’ Cydia fork that allows checkra1n jailbreak users having both the Cydia and Sileo package managers running on the same device. It’s due to a historic moment for the Sileo Team because it’s the first time an official solution of this magnitude launched for a jailbreak not created by the Electra Team.

Getting started
Firstly uninstall Cydia. Once Cydia uninstalled from your checkra1n device post-Sileo installation. Then move on to the next section about getting Cydia back.
Getting Cydia back after installing Sileo on checkra1n

Conclusion:
If you experience problems refreshing some of your sources in Cydia post-installation then this is considered normal and expected behavior at this time. Diatrus intends to sort out repository refresh problems in a future update.
Furthermore, it’s technically Diatrus’ custom fork of Cydia made to work with Sileo on the same device. However, it seems to work just as well as the official Cydia launch at first glance.
