I have completed all major work on SBSettings v1.0 and am now just testing. The changes (that I can remember) are:
1) Brightness toggle / slider added
2) Themes added. We now have 8 addon themes. I have selected 2 of these (HUD and Tech Shadows) to be distributed with the core. The rest we can release as theme addons along with the v1.0 release.
3) Dock added. You can add your settings apps to a dock. Then there is a dock button to show the dock and launch your apps. This allows you to clear them off your springboard (like Bossprefs dock).
4) Fully preventing the app from loading while on lock screen. Too many complaints about app being accidentally opened and draining battery or toggling things off.
5) Home button now closes main window in addition to little X that was hard to press.
I have a couple help screen documents to write before the release can go out and am waiting on some small updates from iPodTouchMaster on the “more” app, but otherwise I am currently testing the code-complete springboard addon. It should be out before the end of the weekend.
Remember, I am on pacific time so I have until Midnight Sunday :)

Yes! Nice! Finally! Yeah!
Though, how will we be able to download the other themes? Will you publish them through Cydia as winterboard plugins?
November 15th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Great! :-) :-) :-)
but… please… don’t let us wait *all* that time! ;-P
November 15th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Boss you da man! Seriously the iPhone desperately needs people like you willing to give the community what THEY want not what STEVE wants.
So an off button is not allowed on the App Store? AYFKM?… Seriously why?
Anyway could you make one? Dude I’d pay easily 5-10 bucks for that jailbroken or not. I NEED it. :D I wish I knew how to write apps it seems like it would be uber simple.
Thanks again for your time in making the iPhone a better device.
November 15th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
thanks Boss! it’s much appreciated! i like your vision along with the other devs much better than apple’s hehe
November 15th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
woot woot! dock prefs sounds great! great work BB!
November 15th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
4) Fully preventing the app from loading while on lock screen…
Is this an option that can be turned on and off? I love accessing the menu from the locked screen.
PS. The restart button under the Power menu was an excellent idea. I’ve used it several times!
November 15th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Just wanted to chime in and say you are awesome. Thanks for making an already great program even better.
November 15th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Thanks for all the hard work mate :)
I was just wondering if a toggle for Location Services could be worked at? Would make a great app even more awesome! ;)
November 15th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Sounds Great! I can’t wait. I am so happy about
the brightness control! I also loved the last
posters idea for location on/off!
Thanks, Keep up the awesome work. You rule BigBoss!!!

Good Stuff! Can’t Wait.
November 15th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
F****** awesome!!! I already thought BossPrefs was pretty neat, but this is absolutely brilliant!!! Great work man, major thanks from the cold, grey, wet and windy Netherlands.
November 15th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
pls relase it soon
wait is hard for your big app
thank you
November 15th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Um…i’m just wondering if SBSettings uses extra memory when it is not being used.
November 15th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
thanks bb sounds it’s gonna be great update. For me the edge toggle works perfect! No more waiting for bossprefs to load settings. I think the most handy utility out!
November 15th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
cool, will that work with 2.2 firmware? KB-Autocorrection toggle is not here.
Thanks
November 15th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
This will be an essential app.
Especially with brightness.
November 15th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
For now it’s disabled but in the future I may make it an option in the settings. The reason it’s disabled is because it just got tons more complicated with adding the dock.
November 15th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
It uses very little extra memory (whatever it takes to load the graphics into memory). We have carefully made sure to be very thin on memory usage since memory is such a precious resource.
November 15th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
They are not winterboard plugins. But they will be published as SBSettings theme addons in the App Addons category or such.
November 15th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
just letting you know sbsettings seems to conflict with the appstore app ‘fourtrack’. i don’t know why but i have confirmed this. with both installed, sbsettings works but fourtrack just crashes immediately. once sbsettings is removed, fourtrack works fine.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:11 am
This is a little off-topic, but can you fix Categories? If you have 2 apps with the same (like how raging thunder and Crash kart are both called iFuse.app) you can’t put them both in categories.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:32 am
what about adding custom switches?
the only reason im still using bossprefs is coz i can control the safari download plugin switch in there.
also, if i enable a switch from bossprefs, the switch doesnt get updated in sbsettings even after a while.
u have to manually click on refresh for it to update the switch’s toggle.
hope that can be fixed too.
and i agree with “MetalMatrix” of adding an option in sbsettings to turn on/off access of this app on the lock screen.
coz with sbsetttings now having its own dock, it will be gr8 to customize which apps i wud like to access directly from the lock screen without unlocking the iphone.
but all in all, sbsettings is a gr8 app and keeps getting better
keep up the great work, BigBoss!
November 16th, 2008 at 3:51 am
This is also fixed in the upcoming version with a simple plist file.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:51 am
This will not be fixed anytime soon. Sorry.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:54 am
Custom switches are coming soon.
But to address the issue where you toggle the switch elsewhere and SBSettings does not update, I am not planning to address this. It would require an auto refresh every time you call forth the SBSettings window and that will severely slow the app down.
November 16th, 2008 at 6:05 am
Daniel: Here is a simple workaround, Just go into your /mobile/applications directory, locate one of the conflicting apps.
So if you have two iFuse.app’s, rename one of them to iFuse2.app and respring. Then you can put them both into Categories.
BB: Thanks for being so awesome :D, Can’t wait for SBSettings 1.0! Cheers!
November 16th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Sound great! Btw is there a toggle for Safari Downloads yet?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Whoops just noticed the reply above. xD
November 16th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Yay, can’t wait :)
November 16th, 2008 at 11:33 am
thanx for replying, BigBoss.
but once custom switches are implemented in sbsettings then i wont have any use for bossprefs and so i wont toggle any switch from any other app, other an sbsettings.
but yeah, adding an option for turning on/off access to sbsettings in the lock screen wud be really kewl, instead of disabling it completely from the lock screen.
thanx.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Argh grief…. :( Just installed 1.0 and now MobileSubstrat keeps crashing into ‘Safe Mode’??
Any idea what is going on? I have tried to restart the phone, but to no avail. It started happening right after I upgraded SBSettings in cydia.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
hey boss i download update for sbsettings acouple mins ago, and now my phone is in safe mode. i tried shutting it off and restarting springboard but that didnt not work. any suggestions besides uninstalling?
November 16th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
I just got it, and it crashes mobile substrate ;(
November 16th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Same here. My ipod goes into safe mode every time i respring.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
*WARNING*
Do not install this update, it makes springboard crash and go into safe mode over and over again!
November 16th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
same problems….btw just uninstall sbsettings from Cydia and respring and will go ut safe mode
November 16th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Same here now idk waht to do…
Im going to SSH, and unisnstall SBSettings throught Termial there and see if it helps :D
November 16th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I got the update installed without crashing but all of the icons aren’t working. When I go into the toggle menu the just show up as question marks. I can still toggle things just no icons.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
… funny: Cydia reports as available update “SBSToggles” but… I don’t have SBSettings nor Toggles installed :-/
They don’t show in “Manage/Packages” even after letting Cydia perform the update =:-/
November 16th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
He think he changed the package because of the problems. I updated and its the same thing you have. Probably a hasty switch with the old version.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:20 pm

November 16th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Hey bigboss I was wondering if you are going to allow users to upload user made themes for SBSettings. Cause I have a theme I wouldent mind uploading :P
November 16th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
well I spoke to soon. I tried to use the brightness toggle and it crashed to safe mode. Uninstalled via cydia and back to normal other then not having this installed.
November 16th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
OK HOW TO FIX IT!
Go to the section on this website on the sidebar “newest releases” and download the .DEB of the SBsetting’s .92b
open SSH into your iphone, place the deb anywhere (i did it in /).
Open Terminal and type in
dpkg -i sbsettings_0.92b.deb
It will have a warnin in termianl like (WARNING: downgrading from 1.0 to .92 or something)
Type in killall SpringBoard and your DONE!!!!
tell me of this doesnt work or not :P
November 16th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
That work around doesn’t really work. The one called ‘iFuse2′ just doesn’t open
November 16th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
UPDATE: Go to Cydia after your OK (not in Safe Mode and reinstall The toggles and SBsettings or else no toggles will show :P
November 16th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
DO TO THE WAY CYDIA AND SBSETTINGS WORK, YOU MUST USE CYDIA’S SEARCH FEATURE TO FIND THE TOGGLES “JUST TYPE IN TOGGLES AND GO TO ‘S’ AND REINSTALL”
BTW IN IN CAPS LOCK CAUSE I JUST SNAPPED MY KEY OFF AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO GET IT BACK ON :(
November 16th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
UPDATE: THERE ARE NEW TOGGLES TO UPDATE/INSTALL
HELP MY CAP LOCK KEYYYYYYYYYY!!
November 16th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
I hope you added that home button shortcut, bigboss.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
I like everyone else got excited and downloaded the toggles update, i think maybe it was released by accident? As it is not the SBSettings that has updated to 1.0 yet…atleast thats what cydia is showing…
November 16th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
NEW VERSION IS OUT AND HOPEFULLY FIXES ISSUES!
November 16th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Nah chromeluv, when i updated, both were upgradeable! And guys, let big boss fix the problem with safe mode before you whine about something else, holy crap, some of you are ungrateful aholes.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
nope, still safe mode.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
stuck in safe mode.. unless i uninstall right now =[
November 16th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
works fine for me =]
thanks BB!
November 16th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Safe mode still…
Try my meathod that i posted above to get out :P
November 16th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Yea I got the same thing, so i just uninstalled it and i’m going to wait till BB updates it to fix the safe mode issue.
November 16th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
here’s what I had to do to get it to work! You have to uninstall sbsettings and once that’s done also uninstall sbtoggles too! Then install sbsettings. And that worked for me! Make sure you uninstall both!
November 16th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
… where are you, guys, downloading it from? it does not show, here, in Cydia!
November 16th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
same to mine. Upgrade both SBSettings & sbeettingstoggles, and entered Safe Mode.
So I uninstall both of them, and restart, then install them once again, and entered Safe Mode again….
I try to get back to SBS 0.92….
November 16th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Lol we are all having problems but we all have to give props to BigBoss and iPodTouchMaster on their great job on this app and rest assure they are tring their best to fix problems
I mean stop complaining.
I would like to see you try to make an app like this- or actually make an app fro the iPhone.
So stop complaining and whining, just wait and be patient.
I think BB and IPM both know there is a problem and are fixing it…
November 16th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Is prolly cause you have bossprefs…
November 16th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
That’s right. I do appreciate their effort, and I’m sure they will fix the issue soon.
It is to address the issue, so BigBoss can quickly check it before others install this upgrade.
Thanks for BigBoss and rest of professionals!!
November 16th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
If you install it now it works but the you can’t use the dock icons feature. The dock is what was making the phone go into safe mode.
November 16th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
^^ exactly what he said. It was working fine for me until i decided to use the dock feature. I had cydia and most my apps hidden so there was no way of getting to them when in safe mode. deleting sbsettings through ssh didnt work so i just decided im going to restore/rejailbreak/unlock all over again.
November 16th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
I would like to know if its possible to add Airplane and Email toggle as in BossPrefs.
Thanks in advance
November 16th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
i think the phone toggle is the airplane toggle
November 16th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Yes it is, but on BossPrefs the airplane toggle turn off the phone and the wifi at the same time but not in SBSettings
November 19th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
In case no one else has asked, how about adding a “Location Settings” toggle? This is a heavly used function and it’s buried deep in Settings. I for one would prefer more toggles rather than the focus on “themes”. SBSettings isn’t anything I care to have themed.
YMMV.
February 24th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
there are left over dock applications that had been removed during remove/modify process, but it left out blank icons. Dock application thinks there is an app in that spot so I can not use its spot. Its just an empty blank spot. How do I remove it so I can use that spot. Thanks,
February 24th, 2009 at 2:25 pm

Hi everybody,
does anyone know if it it possible to have a toggle for ibluetooth (not bluetooth but ibluetooth to share file via bluetooth) in sbsettings (not in dock).
thank you
December 5th, 2009 at 10:17 am
Hey man, I have a brand new 3GS form London, just bought 1 week ago (1.Dec.2009). I jailbreaked and unlocked it.
Please let me say, I love your software. However the edge lock is not working properly. May I ask you to check this ? Would be awesome – for the coming version !
October 14th, 2011 at 12:47 pm
Hey BigBoss,
First, I want to say I love SBSettings so much they remain the beiggest (and sometimes only) reason I stay jailbroken. They just make so many things BETTER!
There is one toggle I have never found, though, and I was hoping someone more skilled than I am could either throw it together, or explain why it isn’t possible. Turning call forwarding on and off on the iPhone is really clumsy. Even if you use the same number every time, you still have to dig pretty deep into nested settings each time. I’d love for there to be a toggle for it. If there were different toggles for different numbers, that might be even better.
Anyway, I don’t know where else to talk/ask about this stuff, but I wanted to express my love for SBS anyway, so I did both.
Thank you!
December 27th, 2011 at 7:09 pm
hey there –
really wondering if you can help. i recently jailbroke my 3gs (old bootrom) to 5.0 and had everything working just fine. i then loaded sbsettings and the connection/wifi started resetting every 3 seconds. after i tried to do a thethered boot through redsn0w, the screen got stuck at white and will not load any ipsw. i posted this on the dev-team site and, though i haven’t gotten a solution, i have discovered there are others with this same problem with sbsettings. please help. thanks.
