What is this for?
While not technically a 'bug', when duplicate icons are detected in a user's icon layout, instead of removing the duplicates, SpringBoard simply resets the layout.
This package provides a fix that removes the duplicates instead of resetting the layout.
What causes duplicate icons?
- "Stuck Pages" bug in SpringBoard
- A fix for this bug can be found here.
- Bugs in 3rd-party SpringBoard extensions
- Misuse of 3rd-party SpringBoard extensions
Warning
When duplicate icons are found, this fix cannot determine which icon is the original and which is the duplicate. Therefore, it keeps the first entry that it finds, and deletes the rest.
That means that while your layout will not be reset, one or two icons may appear to move to another location (such as outside of a folder).
