IOS – All apps wiped from jailbroken iPhone (iOS 7.0.4) after reboot from battery loss

iosiphonejailbreak

Basically I have my iPhone w/ iOS 7.0.4 jailbroken using the latest evasion software.

I recently ran out of battery, and when I had managed to recharge and get my handset back on, all of my apps (apart from the stock apps that come with the phone) are all gone. No other data is missing, e.g , music, pictures and videos.

When I go to, settings, general, and usage. I can clearly see that my memory is still being taken up by all the apps I "had" on my phone (2.1gb free) yet the apps still aren't there. I'm usually good with tech, especially Apple. But this one has me stumped.

It's a bug. Your apps aren't gone but just not visible on your Home Screen.

To restore them, reinstall a package through Cydia (either an existing one, or a new one will suffice). Then either respring (can be achieved via WinterBoard) or reboot your device (unnecessary if you reinstall a package that requires SpringBoard to restart, like ClassicDock for example).

I have unfortunately not been able to pin down the exact cause of this.
