How To Put Newsstand In A Folder

[M-O]

Message to Apple: Please allow us to turn off features like this that we don't want/need!

They should put all of their apps on the AppStore and let us choose which we want on our device. We are approaching bloat-ware territory...

Yes, I understand why Apps are pre-installed, but at least let us delete the ones we don't use!

I already sent feedback about deleting game center. Maybe if enough people do it they will consider it.

Maybe we should start a petition...

Is not something I'd ever use, and the fact that it lives on the desktop is a minor annoyance , some of the titles are UK based, but most seem to be the daily's from back home (like the New York Times) so I might be tempted to have a look from time to time. I'm certainly not going to risk messing my iPad up by trying to force it into moving the icon. It's not that big a deal.

Let's hope Apple fixes the crash part and leaves the folder within a folder alone.

Is there any way of putting this in the trash!

... In fact is there anyway of putting iOS5 in the trash?

I'm hoping that I'm the only one in the world to have had their iPad 1 trashed by this garbage piece of software.

One 64GB iPad that is no more use than as a place mat! Contacted Apple and they've suggested fully restoring it. Oh well, this will be the second after the initial upgrade... Funny how it's happened a week and a half out of my warranty.

I didn't know Apple care was need for protection against Apple itself

All the best to those who had a successful upgrade :-(

If you put a folder in a folder you can still use the search feature to launch an app in the 'folderception' folder without crashing. I just tried and confirmed that it works.

CodeJingle's right, downvoters. Putting your iPhone in a state that's permanently a single function call away from a crash is asking for trouble. The crash means Apple coders didn't anticipate phones getting into this state. So next time your phone does automatic housekeeping with the over the air updates how do you know it won't crash mid install?

Very valid point.

Taking my out of nested folder.s

Anyone know of a tranlation for that?

Yes but only because of google translator.

Or you could just hide it http://www.iphone365.eu/2011/10/12/nonewsisgoodnews-permite-mutarea-aplicatiei-newsstand-din-ios-5/

If you are among those who have already switched to the new iOS 5, have noticed that there is an application that can be moved anywhere, ie can not be added to a folder, along with others that do not use, for example.

It's Newsstand application which, for some reason, Apple does not allow us to move in any folder, as is possible with any other application of IOS. For some of us, this can be annoying, especially if we use, so that we can disrupt the most simple and useful as a folder to move it away from our eyes.

Well, there is now a tweak, specially designed for this inconvenience, which is called NoNewsIsGoodNews, which is exactly what it is we do not allow the iOS 5, ie moving Newsstand application in a folder, along with the rest of the IOS software.

NoNewsIsGoodNews is available for free in Cydia BigBoss repo site and is intended exclusively for iOS 5.

UPDATE! It seems that tweak the application it deletes all of Springboard. To retrieve it, simply uninstall it.

Syncing with iTunes took the icons out of my folder

Guy, I can confirm that this. If you sync with iTunes then the newsstand escape from a folder. Not good.

You guys are really quite daring...... I would never put my iPad or iPhone into a state where i had knowingly corrupted th file system...

Guy, I can confirm that this. If you sync with iTunes then the newsstand escape from a folder. Not good.

Also iTunes crashes when you click "apps" on your idevice if newsstand is still in a folder!

 

[Bocheememon]

Thanks for the tip!

I wish we had to option to hide an app. Like another poster, I find the contacts app redundant since I can access that information within the phone app...

Basically a respring button

Maybe because Newsstand itself is a folder, and putting it in a folder makes SpringBoard crash? The fact that it makes it unusable seems like reason enough to me.

Did anyone notice

----------

Did anyone notice once you put newsstands in folder, you can't open newsstands anymore?

I have the NYTimes in my newsstands and I hid it in a folder. When I want to go and read it, my phone shuts off and starts again.

I don't even get notifications from NYT anymore. I can only open it when I search it up.

You are corrupting the file system by putting a folder inside another folder with this bug. You may end up with more problems than crashing your phone... Think corrupt backup files, or temp file cleanup failures, etc.

Bad idea people...

This trick has inadvertently added a new feature to the phone: Locking on demand.

If you try to open newsstand inside the folder, Springboard crashes, and will ask you for your passcode immediately when it restarts.

So if you plan to put your phone down around people you don't really trust, and have it set to lock after fifteen minutes, you can do this in a snap and the phone will be locked.

This has got to be the most useful bug ever. I'll miss it when it's fixed someday...

Or you could just push the sleep/wake button.

A folder within a folder.

Nope, a folder within a folder within a folder.
So I tried the trick, and when you open the folder, springboard crashes. But if you're in rearrange app mode, it'd respring when you tap on the folder which newsstand is in. So I guess it also serves as a respring function for people with no jailbreak!

Does it only work on iPhones and iPads? I have 4th gen. iPod... I guess i am not quick enough...

It was fixed in iOS 5.1.

Total bummer. I've been trying to hide newsstand for months. :'(

Yep.
I jail broke specifically to hide newsstand and photobooth.
Annoying.

Why we mandatorily need to have newsstand when it should just be another iBooks...


Actually, iBooks, Newsstand, and Apple University should all be combined into one app. Interactive textbooks, comic books, magazines, public archives, library of congress... Call the app Library, put Alexanders big face on the icon... ...with a tie-in to local libraries inventories and availabilities. ...for physical access to out-of-print, reference, and items only practically available through public libraries... Everything in one place with a unified experience. Do it right.
