Quick tutorial on how to remove App Store update badge notification numbers from your springboard on your jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch. This tutorial is different from others as it shows how you can do this from within your iPhone thus you do not need to use a computer to do it so can do this on the go.

NOTE: Do NOT remove all of the integer as I do in the video because although it will still work as you see, you will not be able to open the plist file in iFile again (you just get this error http://i52.tinypic.com/2dsqz9y.png and would have to SSH from a computer to edit it). Instead, leave for example the first number of the integer in place so that you can reopen the file if needed. Sorry I did not mention this.

  • When I clicked on the existing GPS Drive icon it was still the 12.1 version. Next I deleted the 12.1 version and re-installed 13.0 and still nothing. I'm concerned that this could be a virus or something malicious. Could you help please?

  • Hey I'm new to the world of jailbreaking cydia and all that. I found your video quite informative thx m8. But I have another issue that I need help with. I installed MotionX GPS Drive v12.1 via installous and it works fine. This morning I got an appstore update notification for version 13.0. I checked on installous to see if it's there and there was only one v13.0 on mediafire cracked by Damienistic. I installed it but can't find the app icon anywhere.

  • DW app! I -3 DOCTOR WHO!

  • It Worked..Perfect-Thanks Dude!!!

    Keep uploading some useful tutorials..

    GBY=God Bless You..

  • This video is going to far into it by editing the file in the Text Viewer which is absolutely UNNECESSARY! All you need to do after you locate that file folder in iFile is to rename the iTunesMetadata.plist file by clicking on the arrow next to it and then click on the Name area at the top. Rename it to iTunesMetadata-bak.plist and your App Store badge for that particular app will disappear once you reenter the App Store!

  • Totally awesome video my friend. So good to know there are people like you out there willing to lend your time to help everyone. Thanks so much!!!

  • Just found this video, that little red update thing was driving me nuts. Used your tutorial, it worked perfectly. Now I can use the App Store only to update the apps I want.. thank you so much!

  • great stuff
