Unc0ver jailbreak ios 12.1.1 beta 3. How can i remove an Cydia app icon that is still on the phone even though i have deleted the app through Cydia? Note, it´s not the Cydia app which i have deleted, it´s the Ext3nder installer app but it still shows the icon.

And i guess CyDelete is not working with iOS 12, or?

So what other ways can i remove the old icon?

If you are still jailbroken, try going into iCleaner Pro and see if it is in the preference files (tap the + icon) and delete it from there if it is, then respring.

There is no preference files for the Ext3nder Installer app in iCleaner, which is the app which has it´s icon still on the home screen even though it´s deleted.

Any other ideas? Isn´t the icon thats still on the phone an icon file that can be removed?

Yes i´m still Jailbroken, but i´m on Unv0ver for iOS 12, i don´t think icleaner has official support for iOS 12 and i read that some people had gotten themselves into deep trouble by using icleaner on iOS 12 while others said it worked fine for them, so i don´t know if it´s safe to use on iOS 12. Icleaner also gives a warning saying it has no official support for ios 12 and that you are using it on your own risk.

Can the preference files be deleted through Filza?

I have been using iCleaner Pro on Unc0ver for IOS 12 and it is working fine for me. I mainly use it to just clean and help my iPhone run better. It deleted 6gb of junk I had on there.

Sorry, I'm not skilled in deleting files. You could hide it in a folder until the tweak has been updated. Here's a list of apps that are working or not for IOS 12 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...57Dcl3XK2Tl7NtU7ied4M/htmlview?sle=true#gid=0
