Sometimes weird things happen when you use a jailbroken phone, though not as much as they use too. However I think that the phone just lost the image file location for the icon which was why the app still worked. the white icon is probably iphones default.
Not actually.
White icons happen because of a hard to fix bug within the "UIKit Tools" package that comes preinstalled on all Jailbroken iPhones. It's really an iOS 5 thing. It's not the jailbreak in any way shape it form.
The only *definite* fix is installing Springtomize 2...and using the "Reload Settings" button.( NOT the "Respring" button.
The Reload Settings button works *every time*.
Other options are hit and miss when it comes to fixing white icons...but Springtomize 2 fixes this every single time.
I found *all* other ways to fix white/blank icons work very well. For the first few times...then they stop working..every one of them..then you have to find another quick way to fix them.
I just has a white blank icon today. It happens to my iPhone as well... I'd say...eh..probably once...maybe twice a month or something like that. A general estimation...but it does not happen very often. But when it does..I quick tap of the Reload Settings button has *never* not worked for me.
Btw....Springtomize 2 is one of the greatest tweaks one could spend $3 on.
It's totally worth it. And this is coming from someone that only uses the tweak for 3 of its many many features.
The tweak has trouble shooting options as well...in which in my honest opinion..make the tweak worth buying in itself..even without all of its other features.
Putting the array of all the tweaking and customizing that can be done with Springtomize 2....the more "useful" and "functional" part of Springtomize 2 is the "More" tab at the bottom of the default loading page.
Within the "More" tab you can:
Disable Mobile Substrate addons(Disable tweaks to verify whether one is causing a particular problem or not)
Hide Settings Bundles. For example...when you install a tweak that needs Preference Loader...it puts a settings panel for that tweak in the Settings.app. Hiding Settings Bundles can speed up the loading of the Settings.app when you have a lot of Jailbroken settings panels installed.
You can delete Settings Files. This helps for trouble shooting a particular tweak. If you delete a tweaks settings file, then it will reset the tweaks settings completely and put it's settings as they were when they were first installed. Deleting the settings file for a tweak can fix problems with a particular tweak within itself at times.
Anyway...my whole point is....Springtomize 2 is so worth buying even if you don't use all of its customization and tweaking options.
All I use in Springtomize 2 is the cover flow dock...hide some status bar icons...and use the "double tap" to dismiss icon badges while in edit mode. That is really all I use in Springtomize....all those customization features there..that I don't use...and still 100% agree that Springtomze 2 is well worth the $3 paid for it.
