i can hide all my icons with customize still...I dont know what you are doing

I updated it to V1.17, and I too can't hide any of my icons anymore. Now, the question is, what can I do so I can once again hide some of my icons?

I just posted about this in another thread. Copied here in case it helps someone else:

The fact that Customize removed the ability to hide icons makes it 50% less useful to me. It's only good for re-ordering icons now.

However, I found that XLaunch does a good job of hiding the icons. You have to start XLaunch, select the icon, tell it to "Toggle Visibility", then exit XLaunch (which will restart SpringBoard), then go into XLaunch and do it again. Don't know why you have to do it two times, but until Customize brings back the ability to hide icons, that works for me.

i have been hesitant to play with Customise since upgrading to 1.1.1 since i read it could crash the phone. Am I safe to change to AT&T and slider symbols again like i did on 1.02?

thanks

I think the best way is still to SSH into your phone and backup and then copy the images into the the appropriate locations.

it says in the notes (when you click on more info via installer.app) that "No more hidden section (future)." so it sounds to me like they were having a problem putting that back in and will do so in the future.... who knows... it is a bit annoying having "contacts, field test and demo app" on my springboard but hopefully they'll fix the prob and reupdate for the what... 3rd time in 2 days?

XLaunch does it for me also.



Posted by: BornInBremen

The only catch with Customize and XLaunch is that if you hide icons with XLaunch, they go into Customize and re-order the icons, the previously hidden ones show up again, and you gave to go back and re-hide them.

Dunno why the ability to hide icons was removed, since it obviously works with XLaunch.
