Did you have categories or dock installed? If so just install poof and turn them back on.

I posted the solution a few days ago here. And contrary to one person's paranoid opinion, it does NOT brick your phone (see my response a few posts down in that thread).

Apple uses "%@" as a wild card in their Plists. Instead of making the Plist add each application one by one, you simply put %@ in the proper place on the Plist for the springboard to accept all applications.

I have attached an image of a section in the Springboard strings Plist as an example. Notice the wildcard is used for a universal symbol to accept anything that is within that value.
