Last Friday I DFU-restored my phone to put it back to base state to test some things out and to hopefully eliminate a few issues, but I didn't think to unhide everything 'stored' in Categories folders- so when I restored from the last backup, most of the apps on the phone are hidden and inaccessible (that I can find) at the moment. Is there any way without re-jailbreaking the phone to force the OS to unhide all the apps? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Any way to unhide hidden apps without re-jailbreaking?

That's kind of what I figured. 🙁 I'll just have to make it through the week since I plan on re-jailbreaking on Friday. Thankfully by and large I kept the things I need the most outside of Categories. Thanks!
try this, go to > Settings > General > Restrictions > and then enable it, and then disable it and all should show up.
Yeah, I had the same issue when I hid cydia when JB then restored then JB again and cydia didn't show up.
Enabling and then disabling restrictions worked for me.
Very useful thing to know.

I just tried it to see if it works, and it left me with 9 pages of apps instead of 3.
Wonderful, now I get to hide all the apps again!!!
Yup, that did it! Thanks! Of course, I've got to wonder how many apps are still not showing up though since I likely had more than 9 pages worth total on the phone. 😛
