Siphon settings twice in settings app #295

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install siphon 2.1.0 via cydia

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
in the Settings.app Ishould see preferences for Siphon only once. But, I see 
that twice: first at the 
end of the third group (the one with the General,Phone, Email, Messageing, iPod 
settings), and 
then in a second group by itself before the list of the installed apps.

You can see this in the attached picture.

Please provide any additional information below.

If I uninstall siphon, only the topmost instance of the preferences list item 
remains, but without 
icon and non-functional.

Ok If I disable the "PreferenceLoader" MobileSubstrate add-on, I see only the 
first instance of the Settings in 
Preferences.app (I wrote wrongly Settings.app in the issue description).  So 
this may be a PreferenceLoader bug.

The problem is, if I remove siphon, the empty in the third preferences group 
entry remains! I attach a second 
screenshot of the iphone to show the situation.

I forgot to mention that I am using 3.0 (not 3.0.1, not 3.1) on a 3G.

Ah ok, I did not know the option --removePrefBundle.  Now it seems all ok. 
Thank you very much!

I have 2 instances of Siphone in setting too... Unfortunately i am new to 
jailbreaking and have yet to figure out how to do SSH... can a patch be 
released to 
remove that?

Can you please clarify on how to fix this issue. I am using jailbroken iphone 
3Gs running Siphon 2.1.0. Also will 
this issue decrease battery life? because after the upgrade my battery life has 
decreased drastically.

sunnyc986 - the explanation has been given by samuelv0304 already.
I do not think that this will decrease battery life (how can a misconfiguration 
of the settings page reduce battery 
life? anything is possible but this I doubt).

I am pretty advanced with computers and have some experience with the way the 
iphone works. Im not 
advanced but definitely not a beginner. If samuelv0304 can just clarify the 
steps once again... i will rewrite 
what i understand...

1. Uninstall Siphone 2.1.0 (CHECK)
2. Install Siphone 2.0.8 (Where do i get this version from?)
3. Im not sure what this step means...
4. Go to Siphon directory: cd/applications/siphon.app (CHECK)
5. Remove Settings: ./Siphon --removePrefBundle (I CAN NOT FIND THIS FILE WHEN 
I SSH INTO MY PHONE)
6.Remove Siphon: apt-get-remove com.googlecode.siphon (I CAN NOT FIND THIS FILE 
WHEN I SSH INTO MY 
PHONE)
7. Install Siphon 2.1.0 from cydia (CHECK)

If someone can please clarify the steps i am having trouble with it would be 
much appreciated.

@sunnyc986

1. Uninstall Siphon 2.1.0 -- you can do this with cydia OR on the iPhone via 
command line (in the latter case, 
respring)

2.  Install Siphon 2.0.8 yourself 
(http://siphon.googlecode.com/files/Siphon-2.0.8beta.deb )
    here samuel provided a direct link: you can use your browser (on your computer) to download it or curl, wget or 
similar tools on your computer OR on your iPhone. If you download on the 
computer, move the file to the iphone 
with, say, scp (man scp on your computer is your friend)

3. Make : dpkg -i Siphon-2.0.8beta.deb

you have to issue this command (after the colon!) on the iPhone. Note that you 
have to be superuser or root on the 
iphone to do this, so be ready to issue the "su" command before.  Furthermore, 
you need to be in the same 
directory as the file  Siphon-2.0.8beta.deb

4. Go to Siphon directory : cd /Applications/Siphon.app

  simply issue

   cd /Applications/Siphon.app

 note that you are actually in the package bundle of the _old_ siphon app, i.e. 2.0.8beta3, now!

5. Remove Settings : ./Siphon --removePrefBundle

   again after colon. the command to issue is 

   ./Siphon --removePrefBundle

   which, I understand, removes the _older_ version of the pref bundle that is left around after an update thus giving 
rise to duplicate settings entries

6. Remove Siphon : apt-get -remove com.googlecode.siphon

 here samuel made a typo. the command I issued was

  apt-get remove com.googlecode.siphon

7. Install Siphon 2.1.0 from cydia

  this one should be really straightforward

 best
  Roberto
