So I haven't installed a cydia mod in about 4 days or so, I'm happy with where my device was. I started having glitches this morning and my email was black and said message has no content for every single message. So I rebooted figuring it was a glitch and then springboard crashed on every boot. So I backed up my cydia apps using that app and then started removing installs newest first until springboard worked. (I found out it was Autoprotect). So after this I figured I would use Aptbackup to restore my cydia apps and then just remove Autoprotect after since I had removed about 15 cydia mods before getting to the cause......
BAD IDEA.......
No where in the documentation or warnings does it say that it will restore your cydia apps but completely fubar your device. It wiped all the app icons for every app installed from the market, but didn't actually wipe them. They don't show up in the market as installed and settings doesn't show them... BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE...
It wiped the data corresponding to the app, but the app data is there somewhere, unrecoverable. I have a 16GB iPad with no apps, maybe 1GB of pics, no video, and only 3.5 GB of free space.
So yeah the app may work on a fresh restore, but never use it midstream after you have any apps.......
