Newly installed apps from INSTALLER dont show up on springboard

**apercele79** · 02-10-2008 06:46 PM

after 2 days of installer not working, now i'm being told that it's installing, but after the soft reboot, they dont show up on the springboard...
it does say DOWNLOADING with a progress bar, so it's acting as if everything is going OK, but at the end, the app doesnt show...
what can it be?

Happened to me a few times. Restart your phone and they should show up.

i installed summerboard, customize, a couple of games and bossprefs

bossprefs is the only one that actually shows

did u use bosstools to free up more memory? I was having that problem and it becasue i had no more memory

yeah i did that as well, the program was actually downloading and i was having the progress bar and everything...CUSTOMIZE.APPa even shows in WINSCP, just not on my springboard

i have a feeling im gonna go back to 1.1.2, this 1.1.3 seems to be full of glitches so far...

i have the same issue. on an unlocked 1.1.3 dev team iphone and installer no longer works. Downloads the packeage and then just goes back to the home screen and does nothing.

Check the permission.. Ive found a lot of apps have their permissions set wrong and then they will not show up. Course, usually after getting them to show up, they dont work anyway. Hardly nothing works with 1.1.3.. I wish I would have stayed at 1.1.2 and may even downgrade.

Ive just got my installer to work again!
I did this by logging on to WinSCP, put in my IP then root and alpine as password, (im running Windows) and then going to the applications folder and deleting the apps that i have tried to install and havent shown up.
For example i had tried to install the instant messenger app called apollo, it was there on my iphone in the application folder but not actually on my phone! so i deleted this and a few other apps that didnt successfully install. I could then install BossTool which helps u get the space on the drive need to install the apps u want! use this to help with BossTool: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=651
Hope this works for you guys

unfortunately, it didnt work for me...and as far as BOSSTOOL is concerned, im having the same issue...it says DOWNLOADING...shows me the porgress bar but i have a feeling nothing happened, because if i go back to the available programs i have for download from installer, BOSSTOOL shows up again....if it was dloaded correctly the first time, i wouldnt have the option of doing it again
