I am an Idiot. Please help me. (Cydia/BossPrefs)

[Jademalo]

Ok, i had bossprefs installed. I hid cydia and installer. I then updated my iPhone to 2.2.1 and jailbroke it. Using iPhoneBrowser, i can see it is jailbroken and cydia/Installer is there. but no icons are appearing. I think its to do with me hiding them, and i cant get them to appear again, is there any way using only iphonebrowser that i can get at least cydia to display.

Thanks

Did you do a full restore when you update? Not just the update button? I would completely restore you iphone to original firmware. Do not backup from old iphone. Then rejailbreak it.

Haha! fixed it with a seemingly simple but random solution. All you needed to do was turn restrictions on then off again.

Anyone know why excatly that would to anything?

i believe it is because it uses the same 'HIDE/SHOW' method that bigboss uses... setting and unsetting restrictions unhides all apps from the springboard plist



I THINK..............

why are you still using BossPrefs? That app wont be updated any more as he created SBsettings which can be accessed on top of any open app quickly. (way nicer)

i use both, because, for me atleast, sbs uses springboard so if i run lot of apps in there its gonna eat up alot of memory hence crashing my cydia, safari etc, so my solution is, i set all my apps through categories, put it in boss prep. and wolla now runnign 50to 60 mb on my iphone, less crashes. i use sbs to spring, reboot only.

Why use BossPrefs? Your not going to get anymore updates for it - I'd remove BossPrefs and look for SBSettings. SBSettings is way much easier to access and can recover lost icons, etc. Just look on Cydia/Installer for it!
