My factory icons disappeared, just the custom installed programs visible. Settings, Contacts, Calendar, Calculator, all disappeared. The re-jailbreak doesn’t helped, restore doesn’t helped… Any suggestions?

Apple should build in a home screen locker that locks them in with a pass code. Just saying. this could avoid the blank home screens. and people messing with it.

How do you end up with a blank homescreen? Now I feel dumb that a 3 year old can do it in 5 minutes yet I can’t figure it out.

Agreed Omari, they need to have a tool built into iTunes that allows you to reorganize icons which are they moved on the phone during sync. If you ever restore your phone and reload all of your apps again they become alphabetized as Roger said. Even if you have screenshots of your iPhone taken before you restore it is a huge pain moving them all back to your desired locations.
