FINALLY! Woot!
August 21st, 2010 at 7:51 am
Thank you! Most important jailbreak app of all.
Note, I don’t think the paste function works in the App Store (I.e., pasting in your password). CopyPasteFix in Cydia used to cure this, but doesn’t seem to in 4.x. Hope you can address. I’ve bought Plus to support you!

plus pack working fine for everyone? history function freezes up on me, lookup just crashes to springboard
iphone4, 4.01
August 21st, 2010 at 8:53 am
To be clearer, I’m talking about using Favorites to paste in a saved password in the App Store. Unlike in other apps, it just leaves the field blank.
Sansan, I’m not having any trouble with History, haven’t tried Lookup yet.

a repsring got it working, thanks…

I need someone to jailbreak my phone…. can you point me to somebody who understands this stuff in the Reno area?
Plus I paid for and downloaded your BIG BOSS restore pkg, and cannot get the iPhone activated even with the original sim… emails have been unanswered for three days…

Great to see Ryan updating his tools for iOS 4!
Is he also updating Overboard to work with iOS 4?
August 21st, 2010 at 5:03 pm
is ram use better now, last version was using loads of ram
August 21st, 2010 at 9:14 pm
BigBoss restore package? That sounds fishy.
August 21st, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Thanks for the update! This is one of my must-haves. Now I only wait for Inspell to be updated. I used it’s auto-correct dictionary a lot for commonly miss-typed words that weren’t corrected cause it’s still an actual word.. such as ‘time’ instead of ‘tome’ and ‘thing’ instead of ‘thong’.
August 22nd, 2010 at 5:00 am
great update but :
- iphone 4 OS4.0 : the favorite paste function doesn’t work in the App Store (I.e., pasting in your password).
- ipad 3.2 : it’s working
August 22nd, 2010 at 5:30 pm
Just a silly question. I’d purchased the Plus version in my iPhone4, can I install it in my iPad as well or I have to buy it again from the iPad? If I can use it in iPad, how to install it?
Cheers
August 23rd, 2010 at 5:57 pm
As long as you use the same account for both devices you should only have to buy it once. Thats one benefit to buying apps on Cydia rather than Rock.
August 23rd, 2010 at 6:31 pm
Thanks for your reply.
Have logged in with the same email & got it work in iPad as well now.
Cheers

Cycorder hasn’t been updated for 4.0. Doesn’t the 3G camera have video with 4.0?
August 25th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
I don’t understand the shorthand – will this work on my 3GS Iphone upgraded to 4.1?
August 27th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Been using this with the Plus Pack since I first jailbroke and this update doesn’t work. It crashes whatever app I’m in. I’m still using an iPhone 3G and have 3.1.3. Any way to downgrade?

The email app crashes when Action Menu is enabled (in Settings) and using the magnifier glass in the email app. All other apps work, but the email app is where much of my information comes from so this is a deal breaker. I’ve reinstalled Action Menu, respringed the springboard and same problem. Any ideas?
iPhone 4
iOS 4.1
October 21st, 2010 at 6:44 pm
To add more details, the email crashes when the magnifier glass appears in view only mode. In other words, Action Menu works when you are replying or forwarding a message, but does not work when you receive an email and try to use action menu in that “view only” mode.

April 13th, 2011 at 8:34 pm
Agreed!
Will there be an Action Menu update for 4.3.1?

March 7th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
What happened to the “voice” feature that would do text-to-speech ? I desperately need this feature to have web pages and emails read aloud.
March 18th, 2012 at 6:33 am

March 20th, 2012 at 5:40 am
İ still facing same problem. Could you help me?
March 25th, 2012 at 8:19 pm
Hey, Action Menu is conflicting with placing a bid on eBay using their Mobile.app.
