I have purchased and installed Bridge on my iPad but when ever I try to install it on my iphone Cydia crashes the minute I pull up the Bridge info before I can even select install. I uninstalled every other source I had, I even uninstalled BigBoss and reinstalled that, still everytime, whether I go through 'search' or my purchased packages, when I open Bridge cydia crashes before I can choose install.

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
iFile can install things the same way Cydia can, using a .deb file. If you can find the correct .deb file for Bridge you can just move it into your iPhone, tap on the .deb, and when iFile asks how you want to open said file choose "Installer". After you install something using this method it shows up in Cydia under your installed packages.

You may be able to find the .deb for Bridge on your iPad. Check var/cache/apt/archives/ to see if it's in there. If not, try redownloading/reinstalling it on your iPad to see if it puts it there. If that doesn't work some developers put their .deb's up onto github and you may be able to find it there.

Keep in mind installing a .deb that isn't compatible with your device may cause problems, but if Bridge is a MobileSubstrate tweak you should be able to use Cydia in Safe Mode to remove it.
