Uninstalling AFP/Netatalk Using Net Talk SBSettings Toggle
I fell victim to this same irritating uninstall Netatalk bug, which killed my iPhone autonomy (AFP continues to run even while the iPhone is sleeping).
I could not use the BossPrefs plugin solution mentioned elsewhere, since BossPrefs does not run anymore with iOS 5.x.x.
But there is an SBSettings, "Net Talk Toggle" available from Cydia, which does the same trick.
Note that for AFP/Netatalk to be disabled, you need first to activate it (green) then DESactivate it (red) using this new toggle.
The disabling of AFP/Netatalk survives an iPhone/iPad reboot.
You can check it works using the Finder/Goto/Network menu on Mac OS X.
Irritating that this same incomplete uninstall problem with Netatalk has been going on since 2008, and is still there !!! 😡😡
At the minimum, the Cydia infos for Netatalk should explain the bug and its workaround.
I almost had my iPhone battery replaced before discovering the source of the problem was some package I (thought I) uninstalled...
