![]() It was a pleasant surprise.īut this would obviously only be from the fact that you haven't loaded on any apps yet right after a restore. I was actually very happy that a restore had remembered my long-labored icon positioning work from 4.2.8 over into 5.1.1 JB. But thanks for confirming my thoughts in general. But there could be several tweaks, as you've said, that either update those two files or have their own prefs file that overrides the one in. įrom my experience toying with it - global icon positioning is stored in: Come listen to my podcast sometime and see hear what else we tear apart.

Obviously after a new iOS update that wouldn't work either - because you need the most updated tweaks. That I use to at least get Gridlock, Infinidock, etc back quickly after a restore. Though I have a PKGBackup that only has the KNOWN SAFE tweaks in it. Readding tweaks one by one is definitely way safer. Now - NOT using PKGBackup to restore your Cydia stuff makes MUCH more of a difference. Deleting apps one by one is the best troubleshooting you can do when you encounter problems on a stock iPhone. it's a waste of time 99% of the time since it's SO time consuming for very little result. I've never had a single problem on a stoick iPhone that a Restore as New Phone solved. So a bug introduced by a tweak will not remain through an Apple BackUp - that's why you hear me arguing on several threads so vehemently against the idea of the 'common wisdom' around here being do a 'save as new iPhone' for stock iPhones to clear up problems. They are not saved in an Apple BackupRestore. Cydia BackUp softwares like PKGBackup save Tweak settings, bad or good. ![]() I have also found that when you restore as a "new user", that your battery life is greatly increased.

This is one of the reasons that when you want to restore you device from scratch, a "setup as new" is required to erase all previous settings and old file structure. ![]() Gridlock saves its own positioning somewhere else. I guess it was held thru a restore somehow? Or is icon position also saved in the prefs files of some tweaks?Its my understanding that when you restore your device from backup and not setup as new that you dont wipe out your old file system, so when you install your old tweaks back, the old settings the tweaks saved will suddenly "reappear" because they were never erased.Īs far as I know for icon positioning, that is saved in the Library/SpringBoard/ist. My icon position from Jailbroken iP4 days came back on 5.1.1 jailbreak. Would this phenomenon also explain why after I've been stock for quite some time and then get a new jailbreak, add my first tweak like Gridlock, and after a Respring suddenly my icon positions revert to where they were on my last Jailbroken phone? This was a very welcome thing when we got Absinthe as I wanted an icon position like my iP4 on 4.2.8 had. Should that be preserved thru a backup restore? It seems I've lost that thru backup restore process in the past. I take hours and days getting my apps into folders. Only thing I'm worried about is icon layout being preserved thru a restore.
