Tutorial: fix the problem of reduced screen to 1/4 with jailbreak in iOS 5

Screenshot 2011 10 08 to 11 35 21

Despite the fact that SBSettings is already compatible with iOS 5 GM, there are people who still have incompatibilities with some apps, mostly because of Activator.

The problem is that the screen gets smaller in some applications, showing as a quarter screen only and located in the upper left corner of the device. This happens with Cydia applications but also with the native iPhone Settings application.

The solution is very simple and you can find it after the jump:

You just have to put your iPhone in Safe Mode.

You can do it from the "Power" button in SBSetings.

Then select the Safe Mode option

Safe Mode from SBSettings

Once in Safe Mode, unlock your iPhone and try to execute the action you have configured to invoke SBSettings, slide your finger on the status bar normally.

This pop-up will appear

Press Restart

A respring will be done and everything will work again.

    And what about the toggle, bluetooth mono, I found it very interesting, but the thing is blocked, it is slower than the first mobile I had in my hands and nothing can be reproduced.

    That happens to me with 4.3.3 but only with some games, for example "cut the rope".
    Do you know something ??? funny

      It happened to me because some applications are not compatible with the retina screen and that is why they look so small

    Jossema, it may happen to you because of another tweak, it happened to me to have the tweak installed to put the wallpaper horizontally like android does

    It happened to me when I installed activator and since I couldn't put it in safe mode I had to restore it ... Having UIsettings and BBsettings I don't need SBsettings

    There is a mistake in the text, HUBICAR is written without an ax, it is for you to modify it and then if you want to delete the comment, it is not to create controversy or anything like that. All the best!!
