I am still getting a lot of emails asking one or two of the same questions:
“I hid my poof icon and now I cant unpoof it” (or same with bossprefs or such). or “I just restored my iPhone and all my icons are gone“.
I have written two articles on this. There is the upgrade [...]
Update (10/29/2008): I updated the window to be able to be closed with the home button as well as the little X based off your feedback. This version is not yet released but this will be in the next update today or tomorrow.
Update (10/28/2008): I updated SBSettings Toggles again to v1.2.1 after working with a [...]
Update your sbsetting toggles pack to v1.1.
There was a permissions bug in packaging the original toggle pack that prevented the EDGE toggle from working. I have updated the toggle pack and am posting the update. Please update the toggle pack, and if Cydia doesn’t force you to, make sure you respring after. Remember, the E [...]
Thank you all that tested SBSettings. I put v0.91 beta into Cydia. We will continue to fix issues and expand the app over the next week. Enjoy it and thank you all that tested it.
Note: Fixed a bug in libhide that made it so you couldnt unhide hidden apps. Make sure you install the libhide [...]
SBSettings Beta v0.90 is here!
UPDATE: Bugs fixed so far due to your beta test reports:
1) Renamed Wifi, Edge, and 3g to Wi-Fi, EDGE, and 3G
2) Renamed “Extras” menu from “SBSettings” to “Extras”
3) Fixed all toggles to detect iPod touch in the isCapable function to avoid bluetooth, airplane, EDGE showing up on a touch.

Developer Crash-X has created a clever app that tricks your iPhone into thinking it’s on WiFi when it’s really on 3G. This app has two really great uses:
1) You can install appstore apps larger than 10mb over the 3g
2) You can use Voice over IP apps such as Fring on 3G! (Think free phone calls, [...]
I know I have written articles about this, but I still get several emails a day asking questions about it. So I am going to summarize the app install situation for iPhone 2.0 here in one simple post. This applies to 2.0 and newer firmware such as 2.0.1, 2.1 etc.
First point. All applications that were [...]
I finally got the repository web apps working again. Remember that with these apps you can view everything in my Cydia repository without actually having Cydia open. You can see what’s new using the New Apps link, and you can see entire listing with the Hosting / Repository link (almost at 500 packages yay).
These are [...]
So just so you all know what I have been working on lately, I am currently working on a very exciting new app with developer Ipodtouchmaster. It’s called SBSettings. We have taken bossprefs to the next level. It is not yet done, but here you can get a glimpse of what to expect.
Here are a [...]
Over the last couple days, I have moved the site from sleepers.net to thebigboss.org on new servers. While a lot of links and content may be lost, this was something that had to be done. I will still be updating the site at this location in the future.
I have had a lot of questions on [...]
Quickgold has moved to the BigBoss Cydia Repository! Quickgold is one of my all-time favorite applications. I cited this as one of the reasons to jailbreak your iPhone. I can’t stress enough just how useful this app is.
Due to the way Cydia works, you will need to use the search in Cydia to find [...]
Developers: Now that Apple lifted the NDA to the SDK, there is a decent iPhone programmers book available. I have read the book and can tell you that it’s very useful. If you are new, it starts you from the beginning in making a hello word project. But even if you are an experienced [...]
Continue Reading ..>>Avoid iDontCrash and developer Brandon (El Jabon).
A week ago, a developer tried to send me an app called iDontCrash to host. Being curious, and a developer myself, I asked a few questions about this app before hosting it. The answers proved to me that it is total fraud on the community. It should be called [...]
