Solution to your icon problem

I know this is an old thread, but thought I would reply anyway as I used to have the same problem that you mention in your first post with icons being removed from folders and taking forever to put things back the way they were.

I solved the problem by downloading Backupit from Cydia. It will cost you the grand sum of $1 and can save and restore your folder / icon layout.
