For the folks with IS on the home screen and CAN'T get it off:
1) Can you post what apps you have that use MobileSubstrate (easiest way is to begin the uninstallation in Cydia (don't actually uninstall -but just click uninstall and before you press the confirm, it will tell you which apps are using it)
2) Any specific settings in those apps that may apply
Regarding Safari and IS Crashing - You may likely have a memory issue. IS will kill Safari when the phone is out of memory, and you are not using Safari (this is to free up memory obviously) - it will do so when you are on the lock screen, or when you close Safari. The iPhone OS will then kill IS if there still isn't enough memory. Thus, if you run an application that really needs memory - IS is going to quit to free up the memory. This is the best way to handle the limited resources on the iPhone. It is also possible that you're running other applications via MobileSubstrate that are consuming/leaking too much memory. Many of these apps run in SpringBoard (where 99% of IS no longer runs in SpringBoard), so if there is a memory leak, the iPhone OS won't restart SpringBoard. It will, however, kill everything else. Thus, you're memory leak sticks around until a SpringBoard restart, which also causes IS/Safari/iPod/etc to be killed as there's no memory.
If you're having an issue with IS, it would be very helpful for you to list the apps as requested above. Then, we may be able to see a pattern amongst users that are experiencing issues.
Thanks!
