Edit: May 6th #3.

I released this publicly at 3.0.9-11 and toggles 3.0.6-9. Sorry to you iPad 3g owners, I cannot fix those issues until I get my iPad 3g which is over 10 days away. In the meantime, I reenabled phone toggle (without any other modifications) so hopefully you can use that to disable data radio.

I fixed the lag when enabling rotation and added a no animation button to not animate the main window (by request).

————————————————————————————-

Edit: May 5th #2.

People keep reporting that the phone toggle is not available in the iPad. Yes, the iPad doesn’t have a phone. It seemed silly to me that anyone would notice this or care until someone on IRC pointed out that this was the only way to disable the cellular radio and actually turn it off.  That made sense. So ok, I have modified the data toggle to (hopefully) use airplane mode with wifi only when toggled off (on an ipad and behaves the old way on an iphone). So you can use the data toggle for this. It will put an airplane symbol in the statusbar but you will (should) still have wifi. Unfortunately, my 3g iPad is 10 days out from arriving so it’s probably the best I can do without having the device.

Thanks to the same individual on irc (goes by IRQ), I was able to fix the 3g toggle not showing up on 3g ipads.

Also, all bug reports should be based on SBSettings 3.0.9-8 and SBSettings toggles 3.0.6-6 (or newer).

————————————————————————————-

Edit: May 5th.

Thanks to all your reports and emails. I have fixed the following thanks to you guys in sbsettings v3.0.9-5 and the toggle pack 3.0.6-3:

- Fast notes crash. It should now show keyboard and work again.
- All widgets / toggles I own center on the window including the dock, processes, wifi (on hold), fast notes, and brightness. (Sorry, I cant do anything about widgets I dont own)
- Processes widget should load and have icons
- Added option to more app to disable landscape. If you dont like the extra lag on open animation with the new rotate feature, then go disable landscape and it will be back to how it was although it won’t rotate.
- Window centers – you can disable this in the more app under extras
- I signed the more app with ldid, so it should stop crashing for those of you that had issues.
- For ipad users, added ip address on statusbar option. Enable in more app under extras.

————————————————————————————-

So SBSettings v3.0.9-1 is in the beta repo for testing.  I have a lot of pressure to release this for ipad users so it will be a short beta and this version is likely to just move into the main repo soon. If anyone wants to test it, remembering it’s beta, add http://thebigboss.org/betarepo to your cydia sources and update the toggle pack and sbsettings. Here are the changes:

1) SBSettings window rotates to landscape. This feature was done for ipad. But it also works on iPhones. Requires the statusbar to be rotated so an app rotated or sbrotator installed.  On iPhones, the window is too long to fit so the bottom part scrolls off the screen. I do not ever plan to fix this. Also, window does not rotate live. It comes down in whatever orientation your statusbar is in at the time you call it.

2) Fixed ipad bug that causes ipod mode on your ipad after a reboot. (This was what saurik had in big red writing). Note other extensions may cause this besides mine.

3) Adjusted some of the toggles for ipad such as 3g and phone to show up as incompatible with ipad. 3g should show up on a 3g ipad, but dont have one to test.

4) Fixed dock and processes widget crash on ipad or iphone 4.0 while trying to get an icon.

5) Modified the respring function to rebuild the cache using uicache. This is the only way to get icons to show up on 3.2 and 4.0.

Categories update is there also and only adds the uicache feature for 3.2/4.0.

A new app from the developer of AddExchange – iStrings. iStrings gives you the ability to change the system strings of your iDevice.

Edit (Apr 15): Thank you to your feedback, I have fixed 3 categories bugs you guys reported in email: 1) Blue arrow gone and cant edit folders (fixed), 2) Crash when selecting icon (fixed)  3) Crash when icon theme with no icons in it is present (fixed).   I have also removed all the debug output from libhide and updated that as well. Currently, Categories will still respring when adding a new folder, renaming a folder, or removing a folder. But hiding icons and adding icons into the folder can be done with no respring.

Libhide is the underlying library used to hide icons for many applications including SbSettings, Poof, Categories, and even Winterboard. (There are others). Many of you have this installed and may not know what it is.

I have updated libhide adding the following long awaited features:

1) Hiding apps no longer impacts their performance in other apps. For example, hiding mail will no longer remove the settings pane mail settings. Hiding youtube will no longer cause embedded youtube videos to stop showing up in safari. This was one of the main reported issues with Categories app when people would move mail or youtube into a folder. Special thanks to developer Dustin Howett for helping me with this.

2) Hiding apps and unhiding apps no longer require a respring. To this end, I have created a new sbsettings, poof, and categories that properly use libhide with these changes.

I have been testing this for a few days myself, but since libhide has so many installs, I would like to get some stronger testing in before releasing it. Therefore, I have added the new libhide v2.0.6, categories, poof, and sbsettings updates to my beta repository. The only changes in categories, poof, and sbsettings are to support the new libhide no respring mode when hiding icons. For categories, this includes adding and removing folder icons. For sbsettings this includes adding and removing icons to the dock.

Note to firmware 2.x users: Thanks to Apple’s lame practices when installing the 4.0 SDK and the 3.2 ipad SDK, I can no longer build for 2.x operating systems. Therefore, if you have 2.x, while these things should continue to work for you, none of the new features will be active for you. This hereby ends my updates for 2.x users. Time to move to 3.x if you haven’t already.

There are no other changes in these apps other than the libhide support, so please dont try to tell me that this update caused your sms to stop sending the last character, that your iphone won’t reboot now, that your wifi no longer works, etc. These things are not things that would be caused by this update. These things did not get changed.

To test these versions, please add my test repo to cydia: http://thebigboss.org/betarepo – please only add this if you are willing to test beta software. (This should never appear in anyone’s “all sources” package.) If you have any issues, I expect that you are able to send me a syslog with a bug report to my email address. Please do not leave bugs on comments of this post. I will not read them. My email address is readily available in Cydia. Please use that. Syslogs can be obtained via logmailer. Finally, this repository should not be added to your Cydia if you are comfortable testing beta and possibly unstable software.  To those of you that do test, thank you in advance.

Also, if you do test and things are working OK, I would appreciate an email saying that as well. I will release the update after I get sufficient amount of testing and no major issues.

Note: We just released activator v1.3. With this version, you can select your activation method(s) for SBSettings if you wish to change it to something other than swiping the statusbar. Just don’t get into a situation where you disable it entirely!

I have updated SBSettings toggle pack to v3.0.6. This fixes an issue from last night’s update where if you had disabled EDGE using the EDGE toggle then updated with EDGE turned off, there was no way to reenable it because the new Data toggle uses another method to enable data.  In addition, I have added back the EDGE toggle by request. I guess the thing actually did work for some people. Go figure. Now you can choose which one to use. No need for both. Pick one and go with it. If EDGE works for you, use that as it behaves much better. If not, Data should definitely work although is much slower on reenable plus if you have a sim pin, data toggle will require you to reenter your pin since it resets carrier connection.

Bosspaper got another update tonight. I have added a button at the bottom of the configuration app to choose your aspect ratio. Your choices are:

1) Stretch – stretches the image to fill the screen regardless of aspect ratio. (This is how bosspaper has been all along.

2) Zoom – Keeps aspect ratio and fills the screen. It will possibly crop off part of the image if the image is not the right size.

3) Fit – Keeps the aspect ratio of the images but if the image does not fill the screen you may have black bars above and below the image.
