4.2.1 ip4 phone icon missing

[bruinsrme]

yesterday the phone icon was there.
I installed iad killer which installed **mod edit: warez** repoprep.

Those two items were uninstalled and that is when I think I lost the icon.

The icon is present when the phone is in the safe mode.
It is accessible from spotlight
and the notification phone icon is present on the lock screen.

Any suggestions in recovering the phone icon are appreciated.

Iphone 4, jailbroken, 4.2.1

thank you

Uninstall that repo will probably fix it, for future reference we don't condone piracy so please refrain from posting repos with pirated material. Thank you.

Edit: also uninstall whatever it is you installed from that repo that caused it. Might also check in SBSettings if the phone icon is hidden.

I downloaded iad killer. Upon searching on iad there was only one program that came up. I was unaware this was pirated and serves me right on several levels.

I am aware of the piracy policies and support them. If I knew this was pirated it never would have been loaded and believe me wouldn't be here asking for help.


One side note:
When the sim is placed in another iphone the phone icon is not present.

I understand, you may not have known that is why I only sent a warning

Anyhow, are you having trouble deleting what you installed? Or have you already done so and it hasn't resolved the problem?

[bruinsrme]

The app and repo in question have been removed.
Regarding the phone icon, it only shows up in the safe mode.

The items that were installed corrupted something.

I am going to put 4.3 on the other phone and see if the icon comes back

[i.Annie]

I dont doubt restoring will fix the problem, I was just under the impression you wanted to avoid restoring

If that's not a problem, perhaps try a restore then. Just note on 4.3 the jb is tethered.

I have a second iPhone mirrored to my primary just for issues like this.
Is there any way the sim could have an issue.
The second iPhone exhibits the same missing icon issue, however it didn't have the apps in question on it.

It's back.
I made sure it was unhidden and the the repo and app were removed. Using pkgback up hit restore and rebooted. It came back.

if resetting your home screen layout doesn't work the problem lays in enable home screen wallpaper or multitasking so first delete all cydia tweaks that enable them after that go to ifile/shh go into /system/libary/CoreServices/springboard.app and look for N82AP.plist back this file up(in case you doe something wrong)the edit it look in the file for:<key>Homescreen-Wallpaper<key> <treu> and remove it after that look for:<key>Multitasking<key> <treu> and remove this on to then save and respring/reboot your iphone after that the phone icon will be on your springboard again.

you can also replace the full .plist file you won't lose anything but be sure that the <key>Homescreen-Wallpaper<key> <treu> and the <key>Multitasking<key> <treu>
aren't in there.

hope this work i worked fine with me
