Blank icons after jailbreak

[cclloyd]

At random, an icon appears blank on my homescreen for some time. It doesn't last long (10 min max), but it's always 1 icon, and a random icon.

In this photo it's the Phone app.

I had the same problem... a reboot took care of it.

Just restarting springboard works, but I'm wondering if there's a way to stop it from ever happening.

you can try this:

Sometimes it´s necessary to clean the icon cache of the iPhone: var/mobile/Libary/Caches/com.apple.IconsCache/....Delete all files in here...

Honestly I have no idea what that means, I come from android phones. I assume its through the computer, but I have no idea how to do that on a windows computer an a iPhone.

ahhh...sorry.

There is an app called iFile. I believe it's a pay app. However, there very well may be free apps that let you navigate through your iPhone's file & folder system.

this:

var/mobile/Libary/Caches/com.apple.IconsCache/

is just the path to go to to get to your icon cache. If you delete those, your white icon problem may go away. After I installed the theme I have installed, I had a couple of white icons. I used iFile to delete that cache, and the white icons changed to their themed icons.

iFile is available through Cydia.
