Help/Support iFile Freezing iDevice From Opening iFile and Other Apps

Rook · December 13, 2015

Hey,

So I'm sure most iFile users have experienced this because I also have been experiencing it on two iDevices. One is on iOS 9.

Sometimes, when you tap on the iFile icon on the SpringBoard, it opens fine and works as it should. But, other times it's a disaster. Tapping the icon does not load iFile and not only that, it also prevents anything else on your iDevice from loading. Tapping on other icons opens nothing. Only way to get things back to normal is by rebooting/respringing.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Sorry, but I have to say this and this is an honest answer, use Filza instead, I have trouble with it too, i think it is really unstable for ios 9 software.

Well there is no solution available (currently), I think it's maybe the cracked version? Or iFile it's self.

But I have a method to 'avoid' it from happening. So when it freezes it's some error from the last running session inside iFile App. So when you tap the icon and your device freezes the process from ifile is still continuing from the background, it's some wierd error.

Anyway my solution doesn't fix it but you will know if it will occur before you tap iFile, so you can just respring to avoid it from happening.

1. Launch Cydia -> Install 'RippleBoard' from BigBoss

2. Turn on the feature 'Running Apps' (this feature provides a bright ring constantly appearing above any app that's running in the background).

3. Now if iFile is not running in the background visually towards you, and has the ring appearing on the app that means if you tap it your device will freeze, so with this method you will know pre-handed if it will happen.

4. Respring, your good.

Hope this helped

Does it occur more on your 4s?

Use Activator to assign an action to just restart springboard. Not really a solution, but it's the best way (to me) to get past it. Whenever it freezes, just restart springboard, and you're good to go again.

DiDA what I do when Im gonna open iFile using other apps is open iFile first then after retry it with the other app.

Or a gesture to kill the iFile process.

Working on it.
