I am still getting a lot of emails asking one or two of the same questions:
“I hid my poof icon and now I cant unpoof it” (or same with bossprefs or such). or “I just restored my iPhone and all my icons are gone“.
I have written two articles on this. There is the upgrade guide and also the other post that explains why it occurs.
A quick summary of solutions:
1) If you have Cydia still visible you can install Quickgold and simply launch the hidden apps. You can launch bossprefs, poof, or such and unhide it.
2) You can install SBSettings and unhide any apps that are hidden.
3) You can launch settings app and disable / reenable restrictions which should unhide most of everything. (You will then need to use poof, bossprefs, or sbsettings and rehide what you want hidden).
4) If you cannot install anything because Cydia is hidden, you can use apt-get install quickgold from the SSH prompt
5) In the most drastic case where you also do not have SSH, you can use iphone browser and delete the file located at /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SpringBoard.plist. Then reboot.

Could really use a suggest or two as to how to get back my Touch’s “IPOD” icon instead of these two horrible “Music” and “Video” ones that come by default. Something caused it to revert back to those two and I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get back just the single “IPOD” icon that appears during the jailbreak process. Any ideas?

Under the parental control array, you can remove any app that’s hidden using SBsettings. In my case it was Cydia, and getting it back without being able to install sbsettings took some fiddling :P

there are a couple of apps on my springboard i would like to put into a categories folder, but when i go into the folder and click add, the icons i want to add do not show up in the list of apps.
what can i do?
thanks.
[Reply]
November 29th, 2008 at 1:30 am
i have the solution to why an app was not visible in the list of apps to add to a categories folder.
the problem was that the app’s application folder had the same name as another already in the categories folder (someApplication.app and someApplication.app). categories only wanted to recognize one of them.
using your computer:
change the name of one app’s folder to someApplication2.app
then open up the folder and you find a file with no extension with the same name. change that to someApplication2
also in the folder, open up info.plist and everywhere you see someApplication, change it to someApplication2
repack your ipa, drag and drop into itunes, and synch. now you can add both apps into same categories folder.
rock on

Use iPhoneBrowser to connect to your device. Wi-Fi is not needed to use iPhoneBrowser.
5) In the most drastic case where you also do not have SSH, you can use iphone browser and delete the file located at /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SpringBoard.plist. Then reboot.

I have just found a solution to my own question. I found a program called iphonebrowser on the internet (http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/downloads/list). It lets you change around files on your iphone without ssh. I used iphonebrowser and deleted /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SpringBoard.plist. Everything worked! I now have all my icons!

I’m having a problem with a few things. I downloaded the categories app and put that app inside a folder i created which i named “customize”. Later on, i downloaded an app also called “customize” from cydia. When i downloaded that app, it actually erased/replaced the “customize” app i created and replaced it with the one i tried to download from cydia. I removed the customize app i downloaded from cydia but the “customize” app i created from categories will no longer show up on the home screen. On top of that, i put all my games in a “games” app i created from categories and they’re all stuck in that folder now that i can’t access the categories app to take them off. i tried to go back to cydia (featured packages) and it wouldn’t let me reinstall the categories app and it won’t let me download bossprefs or sbsettings(no install button). How can i get the “customize” app i created back so i can fix all of this? PLEASE HELP!

May 4th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
I’m having the opposite problem. Every now and again I’ll get a springboard crash or other unexpected event, and suddenly all my hidden applications are back… since I have fiveIrows and Five Column Springboard installed, that’s almost 225 apps I have to manually re-hide, which is no easy task because Poof crashes every virtually every time I hide a single app. It’s happened twice in the last month. Any ideas?
What would be nice is an option in poof to only show the hidden, unhidden or all apps - or even better, a search box to only show apps matching a particular string - so the displayed list could be shorter and not consume so much memory.
By the way, the “Hide Icons” in BossPrefs seems to crash a bit less often than the standalone Poof app - if you add this option, please add it there too! Thanks.
[Reply]
May 4th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
By the way, I don’t think anybody has mentioned that if you accidentally hide your Poof, Cydia, or BossPrefs, you can just SSH in as root and use “apt-cache search ” (without the quotes) to get the package name, then “apt-get remove ” to remove it, then “apt-get install ” to reinstall, and the icon will be back on your springboard.
Also I think someone should make it clear to a few of these people that if you don’t understand the advice in this post or these comments, you *really* shouldn’t be using poof at all. In fact, because fixing these mistakes requires command line knowledge, Poof should be classified as a “Hacker” app by Cydia’s user/hacker/developer filters, if it isn’t already. (And if it is, well, those people who don’t understand SSH or simple command line stuff shouldn’t be calling themselves “Hackers”.)

Hey, you know what I would loooooooooove? An app like Cydelete, but instead of just allowing you to delete any app, it would give you and option to hide that app’s icon. Then we could easily hide apps from the springboard, and would only need Poof to unhide them.

Ryan, I’ve got quickgold just by pressing ‘home’.
However, I’m finding that apps are still absent from springboard despite taking these steps - 2.2.1 firmware on a 16gb 3g.
Trying the slow process of removing some cydia apps to see if one of them has messed with the iphone’s fragile sensibilities….

Have followed all the available options in your list here:
http://thebigboss.org/2008/10/30/tip-missing-or-hidden-icons/
Disabled/Enabled restrictions.
Even resorted to the deletion of the springboard.plist
Most apps came back, but the one I need most, Cydia, is
nowhere to be found.
I actually had Cydia in the SBSettings Dock. Not sure if that
somehow is causing problems with it not reappearing.
Without it I can’t reinstall Poof, SBSettings etc.
Don’t have wi-fi on my older imac so SSH is out, though
I was able to use PhoneView to access the var/mobile/library/prefs
directory.
Is there any other way to get an app on to the phone which
will allow me to unhide Cydia? (all of the hidden default apps
are still M.I.A. as well… Mail, Stocks, Weather, etc.)
Do I have any other options available other than starting
from scratch and re-installing everything after a fresh
jailbreak???
Thanks for any insight or advice you can offer.
[Reply]
August 4th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Cydia was still nowhere to be found, even after disabling/enabling restrictions, and trashing the sprinboard.plist and rebooting.
On advice from BigBoss himself, I just ran redsn0w again and that did the trick.
Hopefully this will help some others that are still stuck.

Okay i think i’m totally screwed. I was using categories to hide lots of icons. but then my phone got messed up in some other way (sync problems) and i got into a situation where i was in the “stuck” DFU mode, (fail halfway thru a restore) so the ONLY way out was to do a full restore to 3.1 on my 3GS. Which IRRC means NO jailbreak for me. which means i have no way to install cydia or delete the springboard prefs or SSH or anything.

i’ve tried this step 3 times now, and every time i reconnect the phone to iphonebrowser, the “.com.apple.springboard.plist” is still there. is this why it’s not working? why is it still there? what else should i do?

October 1st, 2009 at 6:09 am
here’s some background on how i got into this mess…
have a jailbroken/unlocked iPhone 3G, and I have a serious problem. I downloaded the NES app from Cydia yesterday. The app wasn’t working, so I went into Cydia to remove the app, and now ALL of my original iPhone apps/icons are gone - maps, settings, text, camera, photos, calendar, calculator, safari, phone, email, iPod, app store, you tube, stocks, weather, and the jailbreak apps for 3.0 (cydia & icy)…do not appear!
I tried syncing the phone again, hoping this would help, but the original features did not come back. When you call my phone it still rings, and when you perform searches in Spotlight, all the emails, address contacts still come up…but the applications itself are not found.
None of the missing icons come up when i perform a search in spotlight. what’s strange though is that all the content in my calendar, address book, emails, etc are still searchable in spotlight.
to give you an example, i just typed in the name of someone in my address book. when i try to select them however, i get the following message:
“Unsupported URL - this URL wasn’t loaded: search://com.apple.mobileaddressbook/1/3325
As mentioned, the cydia and icy apps no longer show up. i know they are working in the background b/c i can still get phone calls. i have a US iphone with a dutch SIM card.
Someone else told me that the icons may be hidden and advised that I install SBSettings via Cydia. Trouble is, without the Cydia app, i don’t think i have this option.
…so, i decided to follow BB’s advise…but it doesn’t seem to be working. HELP!

I have a somewhat different problem with the Categories App. My problem is that I created a category in the app and it does not display in the app, so I cannot edit it or add icons to it. The category DOES display in Springboard, so I know that the category was at least partially created. How can I get this phantom category to show up in the Categories app so I can use it or remove it?

This is what happened.
I categorized my ipod into a music folder along with Pandora, last.fm etc. Categories was being finicky so I decided to uninstall it. All of my apps are present, and I have already gone into SB Settings and none of my icons, including my ipod, are supposed to be hidden. My ipod is still missing. I have tried restoring the home screen layout and even restoring all settings. Still no ipod icon. I can access it by typing ipod on my search bar but I just can’t see the icon. I know it shouldn’t matter if I can see the icon, but it really is gnawing at my sanity. I tried to install quickgold but it says I am missing required dependencies…help??

+1 to aissa’s problem. I’m having the exact sample problem where my iPod app is now missing after placing it and removing it from a category in categories.
I’ve noticed in SBSettings that the icon now has a question mark (?) on it. I’ve searched all over the net and haven’t found a solution. It may be that the icon file is corrupted?

Hi, can you please help with the following. I have iphone version 2.2 jail broken. Boss, sbsettings & categories were working perfectly one minute then the next nothing. All missing, in cydia no reference of them being installed in packages. I did a new install of categories but once opened it does not reference / show my previously created folders with apps inside? When I create a new folder only the first one is visible all other folders do not show up. Previous working install named folders as appname.app & new install names folders as category000.app & the others that are not visible are category001.app, category002 etc. I also tried to install sbsettings again but with no luck? it does not show up any place. Would appreciate any suggestions.

ok well i have a jailbroken 3gs, FW 3.1.2 and i recently had a problem with a safe mode loop. eventually i rectified it by getting rid of an expired anyring app but since then ive had the oddest thing happen. it seems that i can now only have one app per home screen page and there is a max of 11 pages so only 11 apps are visible. the rest are accessible by the search function but not visible. i tried moving the apps together both manually and via itunes to no effect. i tried some of the above fixes such as BBtools, restrictions removal etc but nothing works…
any HELP would be appreciated…especially since i dont want to restore with the new firmware problem
