How to easily fix the Weather app after jailbreaking with evasi0n

By , Feb 6, 2013

evasi0n cydia fix UIKit Tools

Some of you who used evasi0n to jailbreak their iPhone earlier this week might have encountered an issue where the Weather app would just crash at launch. The evad3rs were quick to identify the issue, and yesterday, they released a “manual” solution to fix the problem.

This fix, which we detailed and explained, required a bit of code manipulation, and was not really the easiest way to go at it. Fortunately, the evad3rs have now released and update that can be downloaded right from Cydia…

In order to fix the Weather issue (as well as the long reboot issue that was also reported by a few jailbreakers), go to Cydia, and hit the “Changes” tab. From there you should see the an upgrade available for UIKit Tools and for the evasi0n 6.0-6.1 Untether packages.

Upgrade both packages, and reboot your device. Not only your device should now reboot faster (assuming you had the long reboot issue), but your Weather app should also be fixed.

Don’t forget to reboot!

Once you’re done, please come back here and let us know how this worked for you by leaving a comment below.

  • Jman

    MAKE SHURE app synce is un-installed first or the fix will not fix the weather app

  • Jman

    If you have installed app sync just just un-install it and install mobile terminal and do this:
    Type “Login root”
    Password “Alpine”

    #!/bin/bash
    chmod -x /usr/libexec/mobile_installation_proxy
    killall -9 mobile_installation_proxy
    rm /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore
    launchctl stop com.apple.mobile.installd
    launchctl start com.apple.mobile.installd

    while [ ! -f /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installation.plist ];
    do
    sleep 1
    done
    while [ ! -f /var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-045.csstore ];
    do
    sleep 1
    done

    sleep 10

    chmod +x /usr/libexec/mobile_installation_proxy
    sync
    reboot;

      If that does not fix the weather app then a full restore is needed sadly

    Unrelated to this, but related to Weather App Icon: I had my iPhone 4 restored and the Weather App Icon still remain as if WeatherIcon tweak is installed, Is there any way to restore the Icon completely?

    I’ve been having the same issue where the weather app worked fine after evasi0n 1.0 but then broke after cydia updates. After trying all recommended fixes here, which didn’t work, I finally was able to fix it with the manual fix posted a couple days ago.

  • Icecoolg

    Removed appsync and my weather app started working! And by the way I had appsync so I could install iDOS which is no longer on the appstore, I diddnt use it to steal apps.

    I uninstalled appsync and my weather app works perfectly now…take that bitch appsync off

  • Tim

    Hey guys, I used the manual fix befor the cydia fix came out and it worked just fine using the terminal, however after the cydia update to the ulkit, my weather app went back to crashing, I’ve rebooted a few times to no avail, I’ve also tried re-entering the code that originally fixed the issue, but no luck. I’d appreciate any suggestions that u guys might have. (iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1)

  • milan

    not fixed same

  • Nick

    Weather app still does not work after with iPhone 5

  • dan

    I don’t think it will work on the 4s because I’m seeing all these comments saying that they are having problems with the 4s 6.0.1 and 6.1…

  • Omar

    still the same… the app would just crash at launch as before… upgrading the cydia change nothing

  • http://www.facebook.com/neilormsby Neil Ormsby

    The update still hasn’t shown up on cydia? I have tried to find an alternative source. Any thoughts?

  • http://twitter.com/StitchedBalls eLQuique

    Still not fixed 4S 6.1 now the original weather app doesn’t want to function it crashes just shuts down.

  • John b

    Upgraded app sync to 6.0 worked a treat thank you

  • Rolf

    Here is the answer delete Appsync reboot then it should work, do not forget to reboot then you can add VShare again and it still should be woking, deleting Appsync in Cydia will also delete programs like VShare.

    Hello can we have an update here! Weather app still not working! iPhone 5 6.1

  • http://www.facebook.com/evan.pepper Evan Pepper

    I have an iPhone 4S and I have it on iOS 6.1, and using code to fix the app crashing didn’t work, so I deleted appsync, which also deleted appcake, but it fixed the weather app crashing! I had appsync for iOS 5+ which might have been the problem, as opposed to having appsync for iOS 6.0+ or whatever.

  • Kyle

  • Rajan

    Yeah.. This imformation and after update still not wroking

  • MONSTERCUPCAKE

    Install “iOS 6 Weather App Fix” from Cydia. They’re hosted in both the Xsellize and Sinfuliphonerepo Sources. I know that these repos are known for assisting with pirated packages, but they host some pretty helpful fixes as well. After installing this and rebooting, the Weather app works perfectly. I have an iPhone 5 on 6.1, if that’s important. No other fix worked; the evasi0n update for 6.1.2 actually broke the stock Weather app! I tried everything before trying the “iOS 6 Weather App Fix” short of Terminal commands (which I was too lazy to attempt)

  • Ash
