What are these blank white icons and how do I get rid of them?

[maximus96]

Last week I installed SBsettings and hid the stock calculator, itune store, and stocks app.

Yesterday I removed SBsettings to see if it was eating up my battery, but forgot to un-hide the above beforehand. After downloading and installing an app from the appstore, the three hidden apps appeared all of a sudden, as well as these blank white ones…

Anybody know how to get rid of them? I tried to press-n-hold and can’t get rid of them. Clicking on them also does nothing…

edit: fixed, nevermind, re-sprung and they went away. i had to download 're-spring' from cydia because i don't have sbsettings anymore but that fixed it.

They seem to come and go a lot,, very annoying. It also makes SBsettings and winterboard icons even thought I have they set to be in the settings menu

I get them too. Everytime I download an app or an updated app from the App Store.

More specifically, I only get these icons from downloading apps from the App Store through the iPhone. I don't get them when I use iTunes and then sync my iPhone.

This is a known issue with libhide. While we wait for a fix, a simple residing will re-hide these apps.

I get this too with the Nike app.

Fix white icon with iSpirit, and install apps thr iSpirit, would not appear white icons.

use iwipe that will clear them.

The random app thing :3

Does anyone have iFile?
If they do, then go to the apps section, because I have the same problem. They just appear when I download something from the App Store, they just randomly appear and then I have to keep re-springing. Very annoying..

Best thing to do is go to iFile, and remove the white apps that are appearing on the list. Make sure you remove them from the trash as well. After that, make sure you re-spring it to ensure success.
Mine is working perfectly well. Like everytime I download an app, it doesn't happen anymore.

I do not recommend removing them from your system files, They are diagnostic apps and deleting them may cause a future issue, after all a simple respring removes them from the springboard.
