Hi, I uninstalled some applications on my N9 and now the appluancher (homescreen) got all messed up. It looks like the screen is too tall (as it bounces back without revealing the bottom icons) and the folder icons show up as red squares (missing icons). I have a N950 on which this issue does not occur so it is probably just a few CSS or config files I need to copy. Where can I find these?

Note: think this is related to N9QTweak

If it happens after n9qt, probably you used tweak AA or QQ. If you can open terminal run n9qt and try to restore this tweak that you used..

I had actually removed N9QT from the homescreen (with a bunch of other applications I seldom used) and after restart the homescreen became too tall. I haven't used AA or QQ anytime at all...

Performed a restore of the N9QTweak backup.
$ devel-su
# cd ~user/MyDocs/.N9QTweakBackup/
# sh RESTORE
y
and after this the device's homescreen got restored correctly.

Thanks for this great failsafe. A backup restore which really works! ;-)
