    Hi, i’m just wandering if CYDELETE can actually delete a strange app ‘INEWS’ that appeared on my iphone after installing winterboard, very very weird!!!

  2. Isaac says:

    This is the only hit I can find when I google how to get rid of the INEWS app. I updated SBSettings tonight and suddenly the INEWS app appeared when I relaunched the springboard. I can’t remove it from Cydia’s manage page– I can’t even scroll to the “i”s before Cydia crashes. Same thing when I search for it: when I type “INEW” it crashes. I can search for “news” and when I scroll to “INEWS” it crashes.

    I re-jailboke with greenpois0n and still couldn’t get any further than before.

      Same thing happened to me but don’t fret. Using Cydelete works and i checked back with cydia. It is no longer there and doesn’t crash when you move past I in the Manage packages tab. Hope this helps!

    it worked great thank you, now is there a way to resstore all of my cydia apps, or do I need to remember what I had and download one by one,? what about the ones I paid for like mywi for 19.99? please help?

    thanks
