Hi guys. So I have an old iPad 2 that's been running on jailbroken iOS 7.1. It was running well until I decided to update two (2) Cydia packages today: iCleaner and one other package I had no memory of. As soon I resprung, Springboard messes up the icons like it places them much further apart than normal, the passcode entry screen is glitched graphically, Settings app can't be opened, and system apps like Photos shrink down to iPhone size (I have RetinaPad). And after I exit a folder, the docked apps disappear. I've tried respringing, Safe Mode, hard restarts, removing packages that had to do with Springboard customization... nothing seems to work. So i've resulted to restoring and updating to 9.3.5.

So the question is; is updating from iOS 7.1 to 9.3.5 possible? Because I've heard that 9.3.5 got unsigned October last year.
