I use Poof and then enable it for the dock icons in SBSettings so the icon isnt readily available. Also you can poof Poof and use the search to launch it.

Ajax, THANK YOU!!! That worked! My icons are back!!

I have another question, I upgraded to 3.0 and can’t find poof on Cydia… any advice?

really surprised nobody pointed this out before:

Poof uses app restrictions to hide icons. If you hide poof or bossprefs and want them back:

Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions (enter a password twice) > Disable Restrictions (enter password).

All icons will be back.

yeah I have the same issue, I hid multiple apps in folders via categories and then upgraded to 3.0 yesterday and lost them all, I restored my iphone and everything but even the apps that came with the phone (camera, settings, etc.) are still gone!

I have the same problem as Luther.

I hid several apps with BossPrefs and then upgraded to OS 3.0 and now can’t unhide them.

Do i just have to wait until the next jailbreak is out and then follow the above instructions or is there another way because i was hoping to avoid having to jailbreak it again.

thanks.

And there is a simple alternative to get back your bossprefs and go from there:

Get any program to access the iPod/iPhone file system, like DiskAid, freely available from http://www.digidna.net/diskaid, and find the item.plist file in the application/bosspref directory. There you just need to delete the entry about “hidden”. (Helps if you can read XML )
