Jailbroken Icons are white?

[Darkenvy6]

iOS5 on the iPhone4 semi-tethered. When I boot into tethered or semitethered (emergency mode) my cydia apps are white icon'ed. Why is this? Oh the first run of cydia and the semitether app HAD icons but no longer. Visually this is upsetting.

Respring.

You have to boot tethered in order for the icons to show up and for the cydia packages to work.

Remember the "catch" with SemiTether?

Guys, I believe I stated that I AM booting tethered. I am booted tethered and all the apps with the blank icons are open-able. I can use the apps, they just have white icons. After respringing several times I DID get the icons to come back only to go away next respring. I respring a lot

I have the same happen to me sometimes after I install a cydia app or a tweak but after a respring is all good. Adsheet is one that I remember but I just respring and move on.

White icons not caused by semitether. Install my "respring" from cydia and run that. It rebuilds your app cache before respringing.

Had the same thing. iPhone 4 iOS5 tethered with sn0wbreeze. Everything works perfect icons just insist on being white more often than not.

Proposed fix above seems to be working so far, but I think respring takes a bit longer.

Of course it does... it's rebuilding the icon cache so you don't have white icons before it resprings...

But works like a charm

What's the best to jailbreak with? Redsnow, ultrasnow, poison, rain??

Redsnow.

This may sound like another dumb question, but what does checking the mulit task gesturs box thing do?

Man I wish I would have read this thread before restoring my phone. On iOS 5.0.1 with Sn0wbreeze. Blank icons driving me crazy!lol. One is blank then the other 4 are good then to are blank. respring then they are all blank. Proly wouldnt bother me so much if I could keep mobile terminal from going blank since its on my first page homescreen.
