A few years ago, I jailbroke my iphone but then reset it. However, after the I reset it, over 50 black icons showed up on my phone dock. I've tried to restore it, reset it, etc but nothing will get rid of it. Even after I got a new iPhone, they still showed up. Can anyone help me get rid of them? Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

What happens if you hold on one and let it wiggle? Any X appear in order to delete Maybe they're residuals from your JB.
I have no idea. I'm unfamiliar with the specifics of JB because I've never done it.
Maybe you should report your original post (tap the little red triangle) and ask a Moderator to move this thread to the Hacks/JB forum for some practical help.

Your contacts and notes can be backed up via iCloud. I don't know of an easy way to backup texts. Look around for a text export tool, or really ask yourself how much you need the texts from the backup.
You are having a known issue with certain jailbreak tweaks. It was more common with older jailbreaks (3G, 4, etc), but it still happens.
I've fixed that before. I had to re jailbreak and use ifile to hunt down and delete the shortcut that way. There may be another way using i explorer ir something similar. I wish I could help more, but it has been too long since I last fixed it. A quick Google should get you on your way.
Seems like that was already suggested almost 1.5 years ago when this thread actually came up.
