Ok,
First off, remove the hackulous repo. It's a repo known for its piracy enabling apps and we don't condone topics of piracy in this forum!

Now, simply remove that repo and any apps/tweaks from it. Also, remove any other pirate repos/tweaks/apps.That should solve your issues. If not, let us know.

hi Darkstar2007

thank you for your reply.

the piracy repo is not install with my iphone5. because the prompt always says server with the specified hostname could not be found.

please help me to fix the size mismatch problem.

but in may manage section under sources i have here repo666.ultrasnow.com/ is not installed. and i dont have any tweaks/apps/repos yet because every time im trying to install all of that it always says size mismatch.

please help darkstar2007. very appreciated.

Ok, try a hard reset (hold the sleep/wake button and home button until the phone shuts off and the silver apple logo appears).

If that doesn't help, then I would say a repo isn't loading right.
Make sure you only have stock repos installed and try reloading Cydia.

One of your tweaks is misbehaving.

As said delete any recently added repo. Close down Cydia and re launch.

thanks chunky and darkstar2007 for the information.

i will let you know once the size mismatch is fix.

btw chunky. i dont have any tweaks yet because it always size mismatch every time im trying to install any tweaks.

mr darkstar2007 can you provide atleast good repo to install.

appreciate all your help

In that case if it does not remedy itself you could restore back to stock and re jail-break.

In regards to repo's the ones already in Cydia should be ample.

I usually only add dev's Repo's for a certain tweak.

For example the tweak xcon is no longer being worked on but the tweak xcon Beta is but is only available through the dev's repo.

If you like themes their is the Themeit app which is available thro its repo which is

Try using the mobile substrate feature by ;

You should already have this latest version of MobileSubstrate, so you’ll be able to use the disable feature right now. If your iPhone is constantly crashing or you think a certain tweak is causing something in iOS to act up, reboot your device by holding the Home and power buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.Once the logo appears, hold down the volume UP button and you’ll enter into Safe Mode. This means that all of your jailbreak tweaks and extensions are turned off, making it easy for you to go into Cydia and remove the packages that are causing the problem.

This would be the case only if OP has MobileSubstrate installed (comes with SBSettings)
