App disappeared from iphonr

An app disappeared. Can't re install because it says it is already installed. It is still on my iPad.
I have looked at all apps thinking it was moved. Where could it be?

It may seem obvious... but be sure to check all your folders. Things can get moved around sometimes.. LOL!! Another thing, if you're Jailbroke then it's a possibility that you've hidden it w/ "Poof" or something similar.

If your jailbroken....reinstall something from Cydia. Something that requires a respring.

A respring is simple to do from Winterboard... go into the Themes tab>Check then unCheck a selection>go back then Respring.

Yes I know. There's like a millions ways to respring.lol. I usually use Terminal.....it's faster.

I can also use ISX, or SBSettings, Clean up, and Activator.

But that doesn't fix a missing stock icon. Reinstalling something from Cydia usually does. Along with Springtomize 2's "Reload Settings" option. Reinstalling a Cydia package works better tho I think.

Do you see an issue w/ this? Just curious........ But no... I use a respring package from the BigBoss repo that actually puts a respring icon on your springboard. I just threw that idea out there for those who don't have this, Activator or SBSettings installed.

There are not a lot of people that don't haves Activatotir or SBSettings installed.

P.S.: log in Terminal as root and type: sbreload (re Press return).

Restarts SpringBoard pretty fast.lol.
