What does this mean

[Biskitboy]

On my Installer icon on the screen of my 2g jailbroken phone there is a red box with the number 7804 in it. What is it and how do I get rid of it.

I have refreshed the sources.

Thanks

I'm afraid you're not gonna get too much help with installer since it's rarely being used anymore. Good luck, though.

I agree. Just try to completely ignore the Installer icon and and only use Cydia. Next time you JB, choose install "Cydia only" instead of Cydia and Installer.

[Biskitboy]

Bit of a newby to all this so thanks for the advice on Installer.

Can I get rid of it by using iPhoneBrowser and deleting it from Apps like I did with the stocks and weather ?

[ZR_Yancy]

You always try. If it causes problem, you may just have to restore & jailbreak again. Just make sure not to install "Installer" again.

[Biskitboy]

Decided to just rename it as a 1/2 way measure and so far no apparent ill effects :2cool:

Download BossPrefs through Cydia install it and use the 'poof' section to hide installer all together- it will vanish from your springboard/homescreen

The above peeps who've posted are all right, installer is rarely used. I would restore and re-jailbreak but i've just got my phone how i want it.

Thanks for that renamed Installer back and now 'poof'ed it.

Learning all the time :smile:

Once again sorry but there is no thanks button anywhere on my screen.

[iphonewarrior]

[ZR_Yancy]

lol he doesn't have enough posts to thank anybody. Correct me if I'm wrong, I think the "Thanks" button appears after a certain amount of posts?

25 post before you can give thanks.

[iphonewarrior]

[Biskitboy]

Installer sux. cydia is MUCH better. btw you don't need to restore to jailbreak if you use QuickPWN. All the fun of jailbreaking, without the restoring process.

I'm so glad this was cleared up because I was wondering the same thing myself. I thought I was blind and tried searching for it, but now I know you need to have posted a certain amount. Now I don't feel so stupid lol :)
