There isn't a tweak for this, but you can use ifile to go into the file system of the theme. In there you should be able to delete/rename the icons you do not want to use.
I havent done it in a while, so I'm not exactly sure where the theme directory is.
Edit: I believe it's / > var > stash > (theme)
I guess I'm trying to avoid having to install Winterboard, to keep the device running spiffy![]()
Var/mobile/containers/bundle/applications - You can do it manually without winterboard but it's extensive work and when the app gets a update it changes it back to stock icon...
Yep I totally agree but the OP was asking "without Winterboard"
Yeah. Just saying.
I held of WinterBoard for a while too, until I gave up.
Why did you stop using it?
