App Store Badges

Hi

I have the 4S and wanted to know if anyone knows of any tweak that will remove the App Store Update badges. Metadata remover doesn't seem to remove all the updates, also Badge Remover, and NoAppStoreBadges does not quite seem to do what i want. These tweaks seem to remove the badges but if you respring the badges come back. I looking for a tweak that will automatically remove just the App Store Badges the moment there is an update. I dont want to launch an application in order to remove, i want it to just do it on its own before the update shows up in a badge.

The best way is to edit the plist file of the App and change the version number to the current one. You can use iFile to edit the pList file or use iFunbox to download a copy of the file to your pc and edit it

Ive got about 200 odd apps, and i only want to do this for the App Store Icon not others like text messages or email etc. The reason is because not all my apps are download from the App Store, and i dont want to update them regularly as that uses up space and i only got about 2 GB free. I found a tweak call Springtomize that does what i want, but thanks anyway

The app store but to update from app store may be possible soon
