If someone posts instructions for using aegis-install and posts it here or somewhere, I could integrate it into that webpage so other users can find it. I don't really have time to investigate what aegis-install is and how it works (it would probably only take an hour or two, but I'd rather spend that time answering questions on forums and maybe pushing forward some apps).

Reading http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750, it might be enough to just skip step 7 and 8 of http://o.thp.io/tmp/cyclotron-statusbar/ and use "aegis-dpkg -i" instead of /usr/sbin/incept in steps 9, 10 and 11 - but I didn't test this, so don't blame me if it doesn't work / breaks your device / steals your cat. Make backups first, and make sure you have the necessary firmware and flasher files to make sure you can reflash and restore the backup.

That wasn't meant to be harsh. Just a quick / short reminder that installing Cyclotron if done wrong might require you to do a reflash, or that uninstaling it and reinstalling the stock packages might not be that easy. In other words, it's not made "easy to install" on purpose to not cause problems down the road. If I wanted to make this easy to install, I'd have to invest some more time to make it easy to uninstall and make installation easier (probably automating as much steps as possible).
