Please.....................anyone???

Well I figured out how to remove the app (new to cydia) but when I re started my ipad I am stuck with 5x2 icons. Really need some help here people....................thanks.

Iconoclasm is a base for icon placement on a jail broken iPad. It comes with only a few icon layouts. Those layouts are accessible in the Settings app, under Iconoclasm > Uniform Layout. The selection that comes by default is limited. If you want more, press the button "Get More Layouts" (in that page), which will take you to Cydia. Then, you can browse to your heart's content.

Or, you can go directly to Cydia, select the "Sections" tab, scroll down to the line titled "Addons (Iconoclasm)" and browse that way (it's the same - the one from the app is just a direct link).

Ulitmately, finding a good Iconoclasm set-up is pretty much trial and error. You'll just have to keep applying ones you think sound good, respring and see if they work for you.

Me, personally: I have Iconoclasm installed and I'm using the default setting of Five-Column SB (5x4), which can be found under the Uniform Layout box in Settings. This layout gives me a five column with four row layout - in both portrait and landscape. Which is what I like because it stays consistent. YMMV.

Hope some of this helps.

P.S. Oh, and please give the forum a bit more of a chance to respond than 10 hours. This is an international forum and sometimes, people haven't even read your post before you "bump" it. All you do, with constant bumping, is annoy the other forum members - and break our rules! Thanks for your understanding ... and patience.

Thank you Marilyn for your response. I appologize for being impatient but I was thinking that maybe I was going to have to restore my ipad and then rejailbrake it. If that is the case I obviously would want to do it before Apple stops signing 5.0.1. But I will try and be more patient in the future.


Thanks for your explaination of how iconoclasm works but that is exactly how i have been using it. I go to settings, find iconoclasm and make a selection and then I respring. Problem is, no matter what choice I make I only get two rows. If I chose the one that you suggested I will only get two rows of four instead of 5 rows of four. Are you using Ipad 2 recently jailbroken on IOS 5 ?

It just isnt working for me, even after removing it my home page is stuck with only 2 rows of icons.

thanks for your time................rick

You realise you need to move your icons onto the page don't you? If you set a 5x5 grid you need to move 25 icons on there to fill it. The iPad doesn't reflow icons to fill previous pages automatically. It only pushes them forward when a page is full.

To add to what f4780y said: If you use Gridlock (which I do), you won't have to fill up the page. Gridlock will allow you to put an icon anywhere Iconoclasm would have if you were filling the page.

IOW - no Gridlock means you must fill the page, as f4780y says.

Sorry I wasn't more clear before...

Okay, now I feel like an idiot! No I did not realize I have to move icons over myself. Let me try and figure out how to do that and I will get back to you.

Thanks so much for your information..................rick

Okay, I figured it out. Thank you both very much for your help. I obviously have a lot to learn about my ipad.

@RickyRicardo - Thank you for starting this thread.
I just downloaded iconoclasm and didn't know where to find it since I didn't get an icon. I looked in the Settings and found it, but I had no idea about using it. I was under the impression that I would be able to move the icons to wherever I wanted, like unchecking the auto-arrange on a MSWindows desktop.
Right now I am using a 5x5 because I had all of my icons in related pages. That is to go by the wayside shortly.

Iconoclasm arranges icons into pre-defined patterns or layouts, e.g. 5x5, 6x8, or "L shaped".

Gridlock is the tweak that lets you move icons wherever you like without them auto-arranging (filling in any blanks you create).

You can combine both tweaks to allow you to set a non-standard pattern or layout and then arrange the icons at will within those patterns.
