Edit: June 1
I released 2.99-3 2.99-4 with 2 small changes:
1) Fixed so you cannot type in the mobile substrate text box.
2) Added option to hide the hold indicators. If you dislike the new little hand icons indicating which icons support hold action, you can turn them off in the more app. Just go and disable the Shows Hold Icons option. It defaults to ON.
Original Post Below:
I released SBSettings 2.99-2. Here are the changes. Those of you that were having wifi issues should go get it since I reverted the iPhone OS 2 wifi toggle back to its previous code base.
Changes: (Note: this is a v3.0 release candidate).
- v2.99-2
- More App: Fixed issue with text box on 2.x mobile substrate screen.
- Both: Option switch in more app and support for 24 hour time display (by request).
- Both: Option switch in more app and support for toggling between / and . for date separator (by request).
- DYLIB: Moved Wifi toggle code back to 1.x version method for 2.x iPhones. I couldn’t reproduce any wifi toggle errors, but now it’s back to how it used to be anyway. The new code is only used on 3.0.
- DYLIB: Added a little indicator
to the bottom right of each icon that supports hold action. (Themers, this icon is themable. Just add a Hold.png in your theme. It should be 19×19. If your icon is missing, the one out of Default theme is used). - DYLIB: Added a quick popup to wifi toggle on the hold action to indicate on which access point you are connected. (Sorry, but figuring out how to select access points will require a lot more research. Remember none of this stuff is documented by Apple.)
- DYLIB: Updated processes toggle to not close the toggle each time you kill an app with it.
- DYLIB: Fixed springboard crash when holding wifi toggle for 1 second on 2.x.
- DYLIB: Prevent fast respring if iPhone is locked. Periodically, people post news and videos that you can get to icons and bypass the security lock. This feature is disabled by default and I only added it because users wanted it. So it is an option that you have to enable in the settings. I don’t consider this a security issue since you have to actually enable the feature. In either case, I patched the respring bypass to allow my email inbox to quiet down.
SBSettings 3.0 Soon part 2
Author: BigBoss // Category: Apps, Development, Jailbreak, RepositoryEdit: I packed this up and released it as v2.99. There are a couple more things I plan before 3.0 comes out, but this will get some good testing in. A couple notes, the install process should work, but if you have any weird problems, like respring just hangs with the respring screen up, reboot the iPhone and then send me email letting me know this happened. I am trying to avoid a reboot on install and want to make sure it’s working for the masses. Also, remember you must enable the status bar features in the more app!
Note: themes like leopard U/I that put javascript web content directly over the statusbar will prevent statusbar date and memory from showing up.
So I have still been working on SBSettings for 3.0 (and update for 2.x). In addition to the features listed in my previous post I have added:
- You can now have more than 12 toggles. (On the 3.0 OS). When you have > 12 toggles it will let you scroll like categories app or such.
- There is now an option to put the free memory in the statusbar. See:

- You can now select from several options to customize the behaviors of SBSettings:
- Enable or disable the U/I from lock screen
- Enable or disable the U/I during calls (for those of you that kept having the U/I activate on your cheek).
- Enable or disable the date in status bar.
- Enable or disable the memory free in status bar.
- Enable or disable numeric battery, wifi, or GSM (phone strength).
- Revamped the U/I on the more - extras screen.
- Internally, I have made the toggles SDK more extensible enabling direct access to system() calls within the toggles. I expect another small flood of new toggles like safari download, samba, or syslog toggles. These tasks were impossibly difficult on 1.x sbsettings and are now trivially simple.
Known Issues - Please READ THIS before you comment:
1) If your respring, SSH, or EDGE doesn’t work, you are one of the unlucky 3100 to get my bad pack. Reboot the iPhone and you should be ok.
2) If you hold wifi for more than 1 second to try to invoke the hold action, springboard will crash. I had debugging stuff in there that I forgot to remove. None of the toggles support invoke hold action yet anyway so there is no need to hold them.
3) If you saw fastnotes, location services, or processes uninstall on the update this is normal. They are now included in the core sbsettings.
4) I already know that there is some misaligned text on 2.0 mobile substrate screen. The font on 3.0 and 2.0 are sized differently by defaults. Will fix in next version.
5) If you are on 3.0 this will not work for you. Do not report that the more app crashes. It’s not a problem with sbsettings. It’s in your jailbreak. To properly make it work on 3.0 beta, you require a private, not yet released kernel patch and to fix your crashing on loading the more app, you need to install the package that includes dirname. (It will be installed on a real 3.0 release build). Look for one of the *-cmds packages like “adv-cmds”, “file-cmds”, “shell-cmds” or just install all 3.
Continue Reading ..>>SBSettings 3.0 is working well. I plan to release it soon since most the new features are also working on 2.0. I am not yet done but here is the current changelog:
- v3.0
- DYLIB: Modified for all the changes required to work on 3.0 (with proper patched jailbreak, not working with public jailbreak on 3.0).
- DYLIB: Added status bar date. This will put the date in your statusbar right by your clock. This defaults off and you must enable it in the more app. See screenshot of statusbar with this enabled:

- DYLIB: Massively reworked SSH and EDGE toggles. Solved the low memory freeze ups previously seen when hitting refresh or trying to toggle EDGE or SSH. This was a major issue on current versions of SBSettings. It seems totally solved.
- DYLIB: Massively reworked WiFi toggle since it didn’t work on 3.0. It toggles very quickly now.
- DYLIB: Massively reworked phone toggle (airplane) since it didnt work on 3.0. Phone toggle is also instant.
- DYLIB: Added a single tap status bar to close the SBSettings window in 3.0 only. This is because home button brings up the search and there was some interference (enough that I felt annoyed). So you can swipe to open the window, tap to close.
- Both: Added ability to move toggle order around.
- More app: Added mobile substrate extensions manager. You can now troubleshoot a poorly performing device by disabling and enabling various installed mobile substrate extensions. (Requires respring after toggling).
- More app: Added numeric wifi, numeric GMS (phone) to extras menu. (Note: the 3.0 version of numeric battery looks different. Remember this is just enabled by SBSettings. It’s a feature of springboard).
- More app: Added statusbar date toggle button in extras menu to enable or disable statusbar date.
- Revved version to 3.0 since this version works with iPhone OS 3.0. It should work with 2.0-3.0.
- Reworked how root requiring toggles work. As such, we can now system out to processes as root. This enables Safari download and other toggles! (Expect them soon).
Calling out for tester: Samba for the iPhone

I have been working hard on iPhone 3.0 OS testing all my apps. At this point, most stuff is working although SBSettings has a couple small quirks. I plan to have everything ready and released before 3.0 is actually out. Apps tested are:
1) SBSettings - In addition to patching current kernel in current jailbreak to get this to work (sorry, I will not be able to give this patch out, wait for 3.0 to be released), I have fixed many of the changed hooks in Springboard 3 and installed an entirely new toggle mechanism. The old toggles mostly stopped working and had to be rewritten. This will also provide a more stable SSH toggle and EDGE toggle. It also will open the door for toggles like safari download and syslog which were previously not possible. Safari download toggle will become a trivial task and I plan to have a toggle whipped up for this new SBSettings.
2) BossPrefs - I planned on killing this app, but it seems to be used quite a lot in spite of SBSettings being out and better. The original BossPrefs was built for 1.1.x and built with the compatibility SDK. This is no longer possible to use on 3.0. I had to rewrite it from scratch. In doing so, I have it actually using the SBSettings toggles pack. (Yes, even brightness, fastnotes and the likes work, LOL).
3) Categories - Tested and working. Currently requires core-utils to be installed, which is no longer default install in Cydia.
4) Poof - Tested and working. Currently requires core-utils to be installed.
5) Flashlight - Tested, worked with no modification.
6) Docs - Tested, worked with no modification.
I have other apps, but they just do standard things and I believe they will all work without modification.

YXFlash player is out for iPhone and released in our repository. This marks the first actually usable xvid / divx player for the iPhone. Finally you can watch that collection of avi files you have laying around without having to convert them into Apple’s annoying format first. While the converted videos do play a bit smoother due to hardware acceleration, but xvid videos are watchable, at least the ones I tested.The player also plays flash content if you have downloaded flash flv videos to your device. (It is not a web based flash player).
In order to add the videos, just SCP them onto your device or use something like iPhone Browser. Yes, the app is free.
Continue Reading ..>>3G Fuzzyband Downgrader is now available in cydia. This should be used instead of 3G Baseband Downgrader for downgrading the baseband on phones containing the 5.8 bootloader.
Benefits over original downgrader:
- Does version checking, will only downgrade if phone is eligible
- Downgrades all versions of baseband from 2.30.03 to 4.26.08 (3.0 beta5)
- Reports current bootloader version on screen
The original downgrader was a possibly dangerous app, as it relied on a failed downgrade to decide whether downgrading was possible. Anytime you run BBUpdaterExtreme you are potentially doing damage to the modem, so the version checking in this app minimizes the chances of accidently corrupting the baseband.

Author: BigBoss // Category: Development, Jailbreak, News, Repository, UncategorizedI have added a comments section to my pages in Cydia. It’s on the new styled depiction pages. You can view the comments in most recent to oldest order and add your own. I have infrastructure to add ratings as well but left it out for now as Saurik says he’s adding this himself. See screenshots of Cydia:


I have updated the SBSettings SDK guide to document the new invokeHoldAction function that allows toggles to trap a held action by the user for special menus. For example, one use would be in a wi-fi toggle to allow the user to select the APN.
