Ask Tii - Issues with iPad after jailbreaking.

Rob-

 

Long time listener.... I jailbroke my iPad using Spirit (32 gig, wifi only), and everything went fine. I installed ONLY Categories and Backgrounder.

 

After turning off the iPad (holding the on/off button, and then slide to power off, and turning back on, the appearance of everything is very messed up. The background image is no longer there (only black), and the docked icons at the bottom are all bunched up on the left side of the screen at the bottom.

 

I had to restore it and reload everything. And because I'm a curious fool, after restore, turned off/ on iPad again, and same thing happened.. before I restore again, just wondering if you've ever heard of this problem, and if there is a solution short of restoring again!

Thanks, Ed

 

 

Hello Ed,

 

Sorry to hear of your issue this is the first I have heard of this one.

 

I am betting it is the categories app - as backgrounder is working fine for me and others I talk with.

 

I would suggest you rejailbreak and see if categories is still there and if so remove it. 

 

If that does not work then a full restore would be suggested.

 

Jailbreak apps in Cydia tend to be a little hit or miss (on in this case Crash) for the iPad.  

 

Read the description and if it does not say it is for the iPad - there is a chance it may mess up your iPad. 

 

Regards,
