Random apps appearing?

[Lenerdosy]

I was downloading some app from cydia and the app store with a buddy since I'm bored, go through my screens and see some random white apps I've never seen before. Anyone know what they are for? Also got a random message+ icon that does nothing when I click it.

I've had this happen numerous times.. I dunno why, but its def a bug. Respring fixes it though temporarily.

just curious, do you have IntelliScreenX or Messages+ (standalone) installed?

I get this sometimes as well. Usually when I download a new font, but it happened a little bit ago when I was trying to download a "tap to unlock" theme and Cydia kept hanging up. then I saw all these icons...

I rebooted and they went away...

i had this problem yesterday but then i googled it and this is what fixed it for me

1. Show SBSettings Icon on Springboard
2. Show Activator Icon on Springboard.

For SBSettings: Swipe Top Status Bar - More - Show Icon

For Activator: Settings - Activator - Show on Sprigboard

Those are the hidden system applications of iOS.

Setup - the welcome to iPhone screen you get when you set up a new iPhone
FieldTest - accessible through the phone app, it displays information about the cell towers
iOS Diagnostics - Used by Apple store employees to gather information about your iPhone, usually at the genius bar
AdSheet - I am unaware, most likely to do with iAds.

They are normal apps on all iPhones, they are just usually hidden. Cydia installs applications into the same place system apps are stored, so I believe they just happen to show up.

Just respring and they should go away.

Thanks,
Brian

I have same issue... Also I have sbsettings icon and activator icon on my springboard, so that fix does not work...

Just disable messages+ in intelliscreenx Quick sms option and set Apples sms as default!

Intelliscreenx only.

Alright thanks guys for clearing that up.

Glad I'm not going crazy. Mine has been doing that also.

Inpulse theme is much better then intelliscreen (no bugs) and has a nicer drop down notification center.
