Foldersinfolders just made my iPhone 5 went into loop mode. Was able to remove it with iDevice Explorer. Any other option to put all my folders into a single one.

Activator (I installed it separately) and SBSettings are fine with me, but not Remove Bacground. That's kinda sad because that was the big one I wanted to install.

Tried that, it worked (but it wasn't safe mode)... I got in to remove iphone gv extension, but then weather.app stopped working. Thinking I could safely reboot... I did... and now I'm stuck again (vol up doesn't work now)

Ouch. I couldn't get in at all and ended up restoring.

Assistant Extensions, in particular, the custom responses, causes Siri to completely freeze. Hard reboot fixes it fine though no safe mode.

Unlockize put me into Safe mode this morning. I restarted and set an animation up but it just put me in Safe mode again.

Now removed, stay away from that one people.

HTCLock

Intelliscreen X

Downloaded, restarted itself and now stuck at apple logo.... again.

You'd think they'd have done some extended testing prior to releasing the jailbreak........

PaperLock puts you into safe mode as well

Activator works great for me.

Gridlock - safe mode

Switchy is also putting my iPhone into safe mode as well. It's a shame as it is one of my most useful tweaks.

Weather Icon puts phone in safe mode as well

aDRock1154 · Feb 5, 2013, 06:09 AM

I jailbroke and tried using CarrierEditor as opposed to using Zepplein.

I got stuck with the apple logo and had to DFU.

I realize now how stupid that really sounds lol

thelatinist · Feb 5, 2013, 06:18 AM

NCSettings and Activator have both worked fine for me.

The Weather.app issue is caused by the jailbreak. Planetbeing is working on a fix that will be released in Cydia as a evasi0n untether update.

If you get stuck, first try a hard reset while plugged into power, or, boot to safe mode by holding volume up after a hard reset. If you do the safe mode boot, you'll need to shut down (not restart) and turn on to get out.

There is a problem with the jailbreak that causes you to get stuck at the apple logo on a reboot...this fixes it if it's due to that. If it IS due to the tweak, this may not work, but it works every time for me and many, many others.

It's pretty weird that the testers didn't find out about this, really. Should be really simple to try to launch all apps when you're a beta tester.
But anyhow - will we be forced to re-jailbreak or will you be able to fix it through Cydia?

I downloaded Auxo and got use to it. At first I didn't like it, but alot of the bugs are fixed and it has SBSettings built in, so 1 less tweak I need to worry about.

I rarely use the weather app, and I don't know anyone who really uses it either.

Also, reread what he posted, he just stated the fix will be released in Cydia as an update.

Thanks. I tried the above last night. It was the tweak.. I felt really dumb because I had to restore and re-jailbreak lol

Same here, Activator installed separately from (I guess) BigBoss prior to installing (paid for) BiteSMS. Safe mode when using Quick Reply

BiteSMS 7.2 is now out, let's see what this me does for me

FolderIcons forces safemode at the moment.

Remove BG Sbsetting doesn't actually close apps.
