    I may be the only one that had this issue, but when I installed iphone video recorder, my phone wouldn't respond to touch and I had to force it to reboot. The phone was slow as hell, but I managed to get into Installer and unistall it, whereby all detrimental symptoms ceased.

    Has anyone tried the Sugar Tracker app yet? I'm diabetic so it would be a very useful app for me. However after downloading it says that it couldn't find BSD (which I have installed) and then a message comes up saying to change some files using Mobile Finder. I didn't change them because it sounded fishy but was wondering if anyone else has tried?

    You may not have issues with it, it's just in the list because problems are possible, so you should be careful. As far as uninstalling goes, you should uninstall things you've downloaded with Customize in Customize before uninstalling it.

    iToday

    iToday is a problem app. Right now, it has deactivated the ability of any apps from launching on my phone. A co-worker had the same issue and had to restore. I'm in class and will restore when I get home or tomorrow morning.

    Rule of Thumb: look out for Skrew's apps. They're awesome but highly unstable and risky.

    Good Day

    During my recent self-inflicted illness, I have been downloading apps to my phone.
    I lost my Installer icon after downloading a large number of items in a queue on Installer.

    Therefore, with the help of Enigmanic, I upgraded to 1.1.4.

    We were both curious as to what app caused my Installer icon to disappear. After a closer examination, through Mobile Finder, I discovered that the entire program was gone. The file was there but it was completely empty.

    I was downloading apps today and found the culprit which caused my phone to need to be restored 3 times.

    FONT SWAP.

    Yes, through the scientific method (installing one app at a time) I discovered that this Font Swap, was a BETA and completely emptied out the Installer file.
    It also caused my Weather program to crash when trying to add new cities.
    I had used the previous version of Font Swap with no problems for months, I guess the BETA is bad.

    It may just be me, but I am ABSOLUTELY SURE that Font Swap caused problems.

    Good Day

    FontSwap is on the list. It's getting quite lengthy now.

    If you see this, Chris, I'd still like this thread stickied. Thanks.

    can anyone tell me what folders to look into to uninstall iToday? i already uninstalled it from the installer but it has a lingering presence on my lock screen and i have been told that the only way to get rid of that is to delete the folder via ssh, problem is i can't find it. thanks in advance.

    well i think i found where it should be, in the applications folder, but its not there, is it called something different and i'm just not noticing it??

    "Surprise" Winterboard theme locked up my phone

    The "Surprise" winterboard theme, has turned my iPhone into an iPaperweight. Now when I start it up, it plays a Rick Astley song, and then freezes up. Can't use it, can't SSH into it, nothing. Have to restore.

    Funny "joke". This theme should be removed from the repositories. One person over on the modmyifone forums, where I also posted about this, has already said that he won't trust the BigBoss repo anymore because of this.

    Needless to say, you'll find help here.

    It has gotten better - and it isn't necessarily a malicious app - it just doesn't run well with the iPhone's version of OS X. I haven't used it since the pre-2.0 series of firmwares as everything it can do is possible through WinterBoard.

    Any problems with Categories? It is making my newly created icons to disappear with all of its including apps. I can manually take them out and put them all back on the screen, but it's annoying.
