How To Fix White App Icons On Springboard

I've ran into this problem, several times. I've found that iBlank has an AMAZING ability to blank out stock app icons. The last time I installed it, it blanked out my Photos app. I spent some time on google looking for answers and found a few suggestions. I'll list them in order of what people seem to report working the best.

Aamer posted on iphonehacks.com these steps, which everyone that tried it said worked perfectly: (I edited his post to my format)

1. Open cydia.
2. Go to the "Manage" tab and press "Settings" on the top left corner.
3. Select "Devoloper" from the menu.
4. Search for " libhide", then re-install it.

If that didn't fix it for you, stay calm... here's solution #2, as posted by ZiiG on iDownloadBlog: (edited misspellings)

"For jailbroken apps I have always used iWipe Cache......I set an Activator action (Icon spread) to launch the app, and it works most of the time...probably 99% of the time any way.

For stock apps I use an app from Cydia called "iRetiner GUI". It has an option in the options tab to fix white/blank stock icons and it works literally every time (atleast it has for me), and at the same time can make your non-retina app store apps into retina icons.

But I highly recommend iRetiner GUI for blank/white stock iPhone apps. Can't lose, as it also fixes non-retina icons also......and on top of that .....it's FREE."

I found the post about iRetiner GUI first, and used it. My Photos app icon is back, so I do know first hand that application works. I opened it and chose "REVERT TO ORIGINAL ICONS" as I didn't have any low res icons that needed to be changed. It fixed the photos icon instantly. There doesn't appear to be a option tab in this application any longer, so that's why I elected to use the revert option.

Hopefully one of the three solutions fixed the blank icons for you.

How To Change Your Mobile User & Root Passwords

The application you need for changing your iDevices root password is called Mobile Terminal. This program has many useful functions, but today we are focusing on changing passwords. There are two passwords that are recommended to be changed. One is the mobile user password, the other is the root.

Here are the steps: (it is assumed you have Mobile Terminal installed and launched)

1) Type: passwd

2) You will be prompted to enter a password, the default password for ALL iDevices is "alpine" (without quotes). Enter alpine and hit enter.

3) You will be prompted to enter a new password, use anything you'd like but be aware that a longer password with both alphanumeric and numeric characters is suggested for better security. When you type the new password, it will NOT be displayed as you type. Do not worry, it's on purpose!

4) You will be prompted to enter the new password again, do so.

5) There will be no message displayed to tell you it was successful, so just assume it worked if there are no errors.

Now we need to change the root password, as we just changed the mobile user password.

6) Type: login root

7) You will be prompted to enter a password, the default password is again "alpine" (without quotes). Enter alpine and hit enter.

8) You will be prompted to enter a new password, it can be the exact same password as for the mobile user account if you wish. Enter your new password twice just like before and that's it! You've successfully changed your mobile user and root passwords! Congrats
