I installed a couple of things via Cydia

CarbonX HD theme, which installed a few other things (about 4 others, 1 of which was Winterboard).

Also Typophone4.

Didn't like it on my 3GS (probably requires 4/4S really) so went to remove.

Uninstalled CarbonX HD, uninstalled Typophone4, uninstalled Winterboard.

My phone had a bit of a panic attack & wouldn't turn back on. Got that sorted in the end though.

2 problems are left...

1) Now when the screen is blank & i hit the home button, i get the normal slide to unlock, the normal battery icon in the middle, but no big clock above the battery icon. How do i get it back?

2) Not as much of an issue as above, but When a load of apps are grouped together in a folder, the background is that carbon effect left over from the CarbonX hack. How do i get it to be the normal background?

TIA.

It should come as no surprise that everyone on this forum wasn't going out of their way to show you how to fix your hacked, ancient phone. Be appreciative anyone even responded at all.

When your system files are messed up there's no good way to fix it. Do a restore (preferably with iTunes) and Jailbreak again...

Or try the Apple solution: http://tph.li/iphonetroubleshooter

Here's an idea...

* jailbreaking isn't illegal, so what's your point?

* "Ancient"? I don't think so.

an?cient

1 ? ?[eyn-shuhnt] Show IPA

adjective

1.

of or in time long past, especially before the end of the Western Roman Empire a.d. 476: ancient history.

2.

dating from a remote period; of great age: ancient rocks; ancient trees.

3.

very old; aged: an ancient folk tale.

4.

being old in wisdom and experience; venerable.

5.

Maybe not one of the newest phones on the market admittedly, but what on earth has age got to do with the problem anyway? So i ask again ....... your point??

    • Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch

    • Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Notion is shutting down its email client one year after launch by David Uzondu In April 2025, Notion launched Notion Mail, an AI-powered email client that acted as a customizable overlay for your existing accounts. Instead of replacing Gmail entirely, it reimagined how users interacted with their inboxes by offering features like intelligent auto-labeling alongside automated calendar scheduling. Now, a little over a year later, Notion has announced that it is shutting it all down on September 22. Since Notion Mail is a frontend client, most of your Gmail data will remain safe inside your Google account, but the company said that you must export stuff specific to Notion Mail, like snippets, custom auto-label instructions, email drafts, and scheduled drafts, before the deadline. Starting today, June 25, you can export that data directly from the app or the web interface, and this grace period will last all the way until September 21. Once September 22 arrives, Notion will permanently delete all unsaved local assets, including files you attached to snippets. Your existing database syncs and mail blocks will persist, though they will stop receiving new messages after the shutdown. Notion advises that if you or your company operate within a regulated environment, you must transition off earlier than the general shutdown date to maintain compliance. Companies that rely on HIPAA coverage face an even tighter timeline and must transition away from the platform by June 30th. Notion, in its X announcement post, basically said that it doesn't see the point of maintaining a standalone email client, especially when users have shifted their habits toward automation. The platform pointed to its Notion agents, which it claims "more than half of Notion Mail users" already employ to manage emails without ever opening an actual inbox, so it is "going all in" on using these agents to run your inbox. Notion introduced Notion Agents last September at the "Make With Notion" conference, giving users AI-powered digital assistants that can do stuff like run in the background on specific schedules (e.g., summarizing your daily open tasks every morning at 8 AM).
