Oh ok, thanks for the heads up!

Have you tried the $2 Pkgbackup yet? It looks promising. I may be wrong, but I think it also backups/restores app settings as well.

Just bought it today- Ill see how it works when I get my 3GS (hopefully tomorrow according to Fed Ex). I dont wonder if it somehow manages to automate what AptBackup does.

Updated the guide to include PkgBackup and a few other tweaks I found were needed for using AppBackup and Chronus on 3.0 firmware.

I imagine it would be the same for 3.0.1, but I don't plan on upgrading to 3.0.1 and will be waiting for 3.1.

Don't forget that if you use Pkgbackup, you don't have to SSH your themes folder over. It saves your themes too!

ok i just followed simple instructions and hoped they worked....
- i hit backup in my pkgbackup app
- i restored my iphone 3gs, firmware 3.0.1
- re-installed pkgbackup

but where it says restore it says 0 of 0 packges? wtf.. and the notes it saved in my contact list are still there, so is there anyway you could direct pkgbackup to use those notes or something.... anything at all would help!

Did you sync the iphone after you backed up in pkgbackup before you restored? Youu also need to resync in itunes before you restore the packages after restoring.

yep i sure did, cus i figured its saves in contacts so ild have to sync in order to get it on itunes before the restore and sync after in order to get it back onto my phone.......... but ive already done it the long and painfull way but thanks anway

Hello peepz! I gotta problem that requires your invaluable intellect.... I restored my jailbroken iphone, updated and then jailbroke again, however when I try to sync with iTunes, every app I used with Categories is not coming up on my iPhone! I hear I should have taken them out of Categories before backing up and restoring, but its too late now so how do I get them to show up on the phone?!?

I have all the apps in iTunes, (free ones, paid for legally and cracked apps) but how to get them to show up on my iPhone 3G?!?!

[Cory Gillmore]

You mustve restored from a previous backup. Your problem is easily fixed thankfully. Just install SBSettings and go into the "More" part of it. From there go into "Hide Icons" and uncheck all the icons that are currently not showing up. Problem solved. Same thing happened to me.

[judge007]

Thank you, that solved most of it but I seem to have duplicate icons in the categories folder and also on my home screen. If I delete one of them, they both go!! Any idea how to fix that?

You advice is much appreciated..

[Cory Gillmore]

Just reinstall the programs that are doing that. There's nit any App Store apps doing that is there? I've never had that happen if so. But if it's JB apps that are duplicating just reinstall them. That always did it for me.

Oh wait, just go in to categories and remove then add the apps that are doing that. No need to reinstall them. I forgot about that. Just remove then add again. It sounds like it wouldn't hurt you to restore your phone as new. Use the guide in this forum to do so. It's really worth the trouble. You won't lose any of your app data either if done correctly. Give it a shot. Contact Bhzl or me if you have any questions about the process. It can be tedious but once you do it one time you'll be able to do it again without even glancing at this forum again.

[judge007]

Thanks for your guidance but what I did was remove all the apps from categories and deleted it, the re-installed Categories and moved all the apps back in! Did the job...nice one for your help!

[Cory Gillmore]

Glad I could help man. No written thanks required. There's a button for that!
