how to fix screen shrinking problem on jailbroken iphone

there seems to be a bug in the absinthe jailbreak for iphone os 5.0.1. occasionally when you open an app it will shrink into the upper-left corner of the screen. i know of no permanent fix for this, but since it doesn't seem to happen very often, i figured out a way to temporarily fix this when it occurs:

1. download sbsettings from cydia if you haven't already (note: if you can't get cydia to appear in a normal window, try rebooting until it does). reboot/respring if necessary
2. swipe from left-to-right or right-to-left across the top of the screen to get the sbsettings menu to drop-down.
3. click the power button
4. click 'safe mode'
5. when you reboot in safe mode, open an app. it will either immediately open in a normal sized screen or appear shrunken again and then restore to normal size.
6. click 'exit safe mode' at the top of the screen
7. click to restart to return to normal mode and the problem should be fixed

you're welcome, alyssa
