Help/Support Cydia Downloads not showing icons on home screen iOS

BigDaddy284 · August 9, 2017

Hi guys hoping someone has an idea as i have search iosgods, youtube and the web and just cant a fix.

I have an iPhone 4 ios 7.1.2

pangu JB

I have installed ifile, mobile terminal and clutch.

i have manged to crack my first ipa BUT... when i now try to download any app that will install the ipa, they run through the install and complete but no icon ever shows up on the home screen.

i have tried-

ipa installer

vshare & appcake (none of these icons appeared)

I have run through reinstalling-

cydia substrate & substrate safe mode

Nothing has worked. I removed Mobile Terminal and reinstalled a different version from a different repo and that icon showed up.

Have you tried running uicache?

BigDaddy284 · August 9, 2017

Yes mate.

Run as admin fails.

run as mobile it looks to run through but even my normal icons dont get reset.

Which i thought they should?

@DiDA I have forgot device today so can't check right now nut i remember i haven't changed the date back to today since setting to 4/6/14 for the JB.

Could this cause the issue maybe?

Yeah, date can cause issues with certain apps.

You should try reinstalling UIKit Tools from Cydia.

I've had to run uicache, and then respring before seeing the new apps pop up before. The date def could have caused an issue tho. After (making date current) + reinstalling UIkit tools, try the uicache and then respring and u should be golden.

Sweet, will try that as soon as i get in. Cheers @DiDA & @i0s_tweak3r

How do i respring?

The command is not found?

I've just JB a 5s 7.1.1 and am having exactly the same issues.

Are there any other JB's out there for my iOS version other than Pangu?

FYI,

I tried installing IPAinstaller and Vshare again before any other install. Same issue, no icon. I then installed Mobile Terminal, which the icon appeared, then LocaliapStore and that appearing in the settings menu as normal.

As i'm new to this i'm as lost as can be and i fault find in a Trade Floor Support role

OK... as a support tech guy, i found a work around.

I cracked the ipa, then copied to my Mac with ifunbox and installed with Cydia Impactor.

Now to work out how to hack it lol

You shouldn't have to use impactor with apps u crack urself though. Just occurred to me- Do you have Appsync installed? It's a dependency to make Appcake, iPAinstaller and similar tweaks work.

To Respring, in terminal, log in as root (you may not even need to do that part), then type "killall -9 SpringBoard" or just "killall SpringBoard". I'd also recommend installing Powertap from Cydia, which allows you to Respring, Enter Safe Mode, or Reboot using ur devices normal sleep/power button.

Edited to add- you can install ipas With iFile and/or Filza, Both I believe have free versions/ trials.
