I have a huge problem with this. Everytime I open an app in a folder, made in Categories, the SpringBoard crashes. /: What should I do?

Thanks, Brian

Please implement a repair option.

I use PkgBackup to take a snap shot of my Cydia Apps and settings for quick restore after upgrading iOS then re-jailbreak.
I just went through this painful process with my iPhone 4 on 4.0.1 upgrading to 4.1. In a few weeks, with luck :-) I’ll be going to 4.2….

Before upgrading, I take screen snap shots using Home + Sleep buttons of my 38 Screens then print them out 4 per page over 10 pages.
The problem is, after Syncing with iTunes I get my 400+ apps, unpack my Cydia Apps with PkgBackup but allthough I get Categories Folders restored, the Apps that should only be in Categorie Folders are still on my Springboard, most beyond the 11th page!

To fix this I have to enter Categories, select a folder, delete its contents then using Printout, re-add each item back into the folder again then exit folder, exit Categories (sometimes I have to force a respring) to repair each folder in turn.

Could you add a “Repair” option that grabs ALL un-hidden apps that are in Folers and hide them as they should be?

P.S. I Hate iOS 4 folder limitations. I love Categories.

P.S. I also loose Categories Folder Icons as well but I am going to write my own Folder Icon set anyway that will be quick to restore my Icons.

Thanks.

Love this program but noticed a problem recently. I use folders within folders and make them invisible and empty so I can use them as blanks (like iBlank). But everytime I open a folder within categories to add or remove an app, all the empty folders within the folder have to be re-added and re-ordered. They are stil on the phone, its just that i have to re-add them to the folder. Real apps are not affected, its only the empty folders.

Hey everyone. I much prefer the Categories method of organizing things compared to iOS 4 folders (even with InfiniFolders…). Anyways, I was wondering if ANYONE on here had a crash course tutorial on how to make an icon pack for Categories?

And for Boss, I was wondering if an update was coming soon. When install app store apps, sometimes Categories just freaks out and dumps all my icons until respring. Keep up the excellent work =)

Solved!

Using PC Suite 2.8.10.135:
1. Uninstall Categories 2.24
2. Download and install “mobilesubstrate_0.9.3087-1_iphoneos-arm.deb”
3. Close and restart PC Suite 2.8.10.135 Apps window
4. Download and install “Libhide_2.0.6-5.deb”
5. Close and restart PC Suite 2.8.10.135 Apps window
6. Download and install “categories_2.99.1.deb” from this page’s link

Voila!

Thanks again BigBoss!

Very USEFUL application, but I encountered a problem.

Using iPod Touch (64GB), firmware 3.12, Spirit (updated to fix sync with iTunes 9.2).

After successful installation of “Categories 2.24″ thru iPhone PC Suite 2.8.10.135, tap icon, main menu but instantly followed by dialog box:

Permissions Error
A permissions error bla3…
The Categories binary did not have 4755 permissions and will not operate correctly this way. Please restart categories.

Will restarting the iPod Touch correct this issue, or do I require the latest Categories version?

Thanks and You Rock!

Hi there,

I was wondering, whether you know if there’s a way to make categories look like the “Folders” Function of iOS4?
That’d be amazing!

Thanks
