Sorry. I haven't been jailbroken in a long time so I am completely lost now when it comes to doing anything in the file system. the person you might want to ask is Napoleon_Phoneapart

I was told by someone else that the icons may be "hidden". And then I read this online about ways to fix this:

A quick summary of solutions:

1) If you have Cydia still visible you can install Quickgold and simply launch the hidden apps. You can launch bossprefs, poof, or such and unhide it.

2) You can install SBSettings and unhide any apps that are hidden.

3) You can launch settings app and disable / reenable restrictions which should unhide most of everything. (You will then need to use poof, bossprefs, or sbsettings and rehide what you want hidden).

4) If you cannot install anything because Cydia is hidden, you can use apt-get install quickgold from the SSH prompt

5) In the most drastic case where you also do not have SSH, you can use iphone browser and delete the file located at /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SpringBoard.plist. Then reboot

i don't get any of this. do you?

HELP! I have a jailbroken/unlocked iPhone 3G, and I have a serious problem. I downloaded the NES app from Cydia yesterday. The app wasn't working so I went into Cydia to remove the app & now ALL of my original iPhone icons are gone - maps, settings, text, camera, Phone - EVERYTHING! and the jailbreak apps for 3.0 (cydia & icy)...GONE TOO!

I tried syncing the phone again, but the original features did not come back. When you call my phone it rings, and when you perform searches in Spotlight, all the emails, address contacts still come up...but the applications itself are not found. what's strange though is that all the content in my calendar, address book, emails, still searchable in spotlight.

One of your contributors told me I should restore the phone. I was gonna consider that option, but iTunes says if I restore the phone that it will update with the latest software...& I don't know if there's a jailbreak/unlock for 3.1.

Can you help me fix this?? I'm panicking over here.
