Absinthe Jailbreak: How to Fix White or Blank Icons Issue
Ever since the jailbreak dream team released the Absinthe jailbreak and the Redsn0w CLI tool, some users have been complaining about white or blank icons on their home screen after successfully jailbreaking their iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
The issue seems to be mostly affecting stock iPhone apps such as Mail, Safari etc. Until now, the temporary fix for the problem was to respring the Springboard.

The white icons that I get are the Adsheet, Setup, FieldTest and another one that I can't remeber. These pop up every once in a while on my springboard, reboot or respring works but they come back. I have no problems with stock apps or any others.I put them in a folder but then the folder disappeared and so far they haven't come back........

this is the problem i have as well. these are the icons I get, addsheet, fieldtest, ios diagnostics, and setup. they appear when i delete any app that was downloaded from the app store and do disappear when i respring or use icache. when opening field test, it opens a file like explore with tabs such as mm info, umts cell environment, gsm cell environment, pdp context list. ios diagnostics brings up the "by tapping send you agree that apple may collect diagnostic data from this device" bla bla bla. Setup icon brings up the "start using this iphone" button screen from initial setup process. Addsheet does nothing.

What about photo do not show up in photo ?

An now it will not connect to the apple store . My iPhone will the iPad will not . All I need from the jailbreak is the autofill eraser from big boss wish this was in apple store

This is by no means a perm. Fix... Its nice to know that you can just use an app but should we really have to. They should make a fix along with a Cydia fix. Sometimes i have to reboot my Phone just to install a Cydia App which should never happen.

sort of unrelated but when i jail broke my 4s on 5.0.1, all of my data was retained except my pictures and my 'other' section was over 2.5 gigs! blahhh help
-
@Angel, I got my pictures back by doing a soft restore :Go to Setting - General - Restore - restore all settings This only works if you have backed up your pictures in iCloud !!! Or iTunes
-
this for iphone 4s or ipad2 you shouldnt be using absinthe with an iphone 3g in the 1st place...
-
What about edit photos on on windows7 from iPhone 4s....does anyone have any suggestion?

'Fix User Dir Permissions' in SBSettings worked for me. Haven't had a white icon for a week.

None of the above seem to be a permanent fix for white icons!

Hey Im using iPhone 4s Iso 5.0.1 after jailbreaking I don't have Siri anymore how do I fix this Plz help..
-
i JB my 4s and it worked well for a few days.. i downloaded "motion" w/c make your icons move and then i downloaded " speed intensifier" it worked when i respring it... but when i made the speed slower and resping it again. my 4s just stuck on the apple logo... then after a couple of hours it keeps on restarting every couple of seconds... you could see the lock screen for 5 to 7 seconds then it will restart again and load for 14 to 16 seconds back to lock screen it keeps doing it.... really need help bad!!!!

Same issue on uninstalling apps. Reboot to safe mode and continual resprings from there. Reinstalled the jailbreak :( Third 4s I've this problem with. Sometimes it happens the first day I install the jb and sometimes it lasts for a few weeks with no problems. Also, strange problems with some AppStore apps...Netflix won't stream but works in safe mode, mms won't send, connectivity issues. All fixed with a fresh jb but I know the problems will eventually return. 2 sprint 4s and 1 AT&T 4s. Post if you find a fix, but I assume it's a cost of exploitation. lol

I had the white icon just after installing SiriLaunch from Cydia. I just uninstalled the tweak and everything was back to normal. The Hands-Free tweak, however, caused a sound problem--can't hear the clicks of the keyboard, also uninstalled it and it was back to normal.P.S. I run the Absinthe v0.4 on an un-jailbroken-before iPhone 4s.
