QUESTION FOR BIGBOSS OR ANYONE WHO CAN HELP.

PHONE SHOWING LOW PARTITION MEMORY….need help.

Greetings, I have jailbroken my 3GS and have been installing cydia apps on my iphone. It is my understanding that once you jailbreak your iphone, that your cydia apps are stored, by default, in the smaller partition drive. I have recently received a display message on my iPhone screen imediately after installing a cydia app. It said that I was running low on memory and that I may have to delete some apps to get more drive memory back. I presumed this was a sort of default warning system built in to warn you when your iphones hard drive partition space was running low. Anyways, I know previously there were two fixes for this,,one was to use Bosstools, or the other was to specificall use the PwnageTool program and make your partition bigger (an option on available via PwnageTool). Now it is my understanding that for the 3GS specifically, neither of these two options are available, as Bosstool does not work for 3.0, and there is no PwnageTool for 3GS. So my question is how do I resolve this issue, or is there any solution to this. Of course the only solution I can imediately think of is to just limit the ammount of cydia apps I install. But I am trying to see if there is a more better solution to this matter. Can you or anyone help me on this? Thx.

Thanks very much for adding this free memory feature, Big Boss! For us folks running non-3gs iPhones, it’s important to keep an eye on memory, and I like not having to kill a running app to recoup memory. This level of user control that I have with the jailbroken phone is one of the major reasons I have for jailbreaking. Keep up the great work and thank you again for all you have done!

Hey, could anyone please help. I installed SBSettings via cydia. When installing was finished my iPhone blacked out and I had to reboot it again. SBSettings was installed and seemed to be working, however when I tried and still when I try cydia now crashes everytime I open it.

Could you tell me whether you think SBS is clashing or something with cydia and making it crash or if it was the crashing of the iPhone after install that’s causing it.

Could you also inform me if there is an easy way to fix this problem short of a whole system restore via iTunes. Can I somehow SSH the problem? Thanks, please get back to me!

Hi Bigboss, again, you do another great thing. It will be better if you can set a warning or an auto run at a critical point to free up memory or respring. In my iphone 3G case, FreeMemory App forced to reboot when I “free up” memory below 4MB and MemTool App stuck when I “clean” it at less than 7MB. And I do not think reboot or stuck is a good thing.

my only question… is the issue with the status bar disappearing gone with this update?? because that can get really annoying from time to time. thats why I uninstalled it. will reinstall once that issue has been fixed. thanks

Sorry, SBSettings does not cause battery drain.

When you loaded Cydia the first time, it should have said “reorganizing”. During this, it moved your /Applications to your large partition. That means installing new apps goes to the large, not small partition. If you are using Icy instead, well that’s another story. That would explain the issue. How much space do you have under HDD Free in sbsettings?

Hello BigBoss!
Thanks for your great Programms!
Enjoy SBsettings a while! But whith FW 3.0 update some toggls arnt working anymore!
EDGE and 3G deaktivation isnt working anymore!
Could it be a bug or is it my fault?

Thanks!
Greets

If you click “about / terms” my email is all over that page.

Yea, if safe mode is crashing, you probably have some other issue. How did you jailbreak? Which device do you have? Which firmware etc?

The status bar disappearing is not fault of SBSettings. Try winterboard theming. MAC UI, for example, causes it.

What makes you think 3g isnt working? I use this all the time so I would like to hear your reasons for saying this. EDGE works but something in os3 seems to reenable EDGE. (I think push). Looking into how to solve it.

on a 3g with 3.0 & using your example above with safari, mail & phone processes on, my free memory is showing 20 mb..when i use the “free up memory” process, nothing changes..still only 20 mb free

Hi bigboss, i am using a redsnow jailbroken 3g 3.0 OS. After the Sbsetting update, Cydia would not open. How do i fix this problem? How do i undo the changes that were made when i updated. Thanks

Statusbar disappearing… ANOYING!
I had the same problem. Only happens when I have ‘Solid Statusbar’ turned on. I turned it off and haven’t had the problem since.

I will make a note to point this one out to Saurik also.

You cant launch apps from lockscreen. Sorry.

Any idea why?

Any hints about getting this to work? Know of any conflicting apps?

Hi Bigboss. no I did not have icy installed. My phone was turned into a sad iphone. I had to restore the whole thing and jailbreak it again, and reinstalled everything. I’m so sad. And I was scared too. I thought the phone would not restore.I finally got it to restore after a few times trying.

OK, but me and a friend of mine (with different first gen iphone) have this issue when istalling sbsettings… could be some dipendences?

I have a question…I went to install SBSettings, when it got done, it says Reload Springboard at the bottom. Seeing no other alternative, I clicked it and it is now hung up on that screen. Any ideas? also, I cannot power down the unit or do anything else with it. It is an iPod Touch 1G OS 3.0.

Hi all, just installed the latest version of SBSettings, and it works great. Thanks.

I have a question here, is not only sbsettings-related, but hope you guys could help me.

I’ve got a jailbroken iPhone 2G with OS 3.0. I’ve turn off push notifications as well as push email (I have it set on manual). So what’s my surprise when, from time to time, without me opening the Mail app, i check the running proccesses and Mail is opened in the background, checking for emai.

I’ve turned push off everywhere and I’m trying today with the Edge off as well, but I’ve just seen Mail app opened once again…

Is this normal in OS 3.0? I think that wasnt happening in 2.1… is there any fix?

Thanx once again!

Hey Boss, when I enable showing of date on the status bar and switch time zones (with auto update of time enabled,) the new time is not accurately reflected until after I turn off the date display and then turn it on. Thanks

I have done some searching around but can’t seem to find a definitive answer for one thing. I would like to modify the text of the numerical battery indicator to match the clock and also modify the date/time format on status bar if possible. How do I do this in conjunction with SBSettings. Thanks.

are you running intelliscreen? That one uses the mailapp to do its stuff -s**

Have you disabled all mailchecking – I had it disabled but there is still a setting in advanced which has to be set to manually too

nm, was digging through the filesystem and found the three “Off” as *.disabled in the /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries

pls i need ,,i just update to the new sb setting n mobile sud,and ect….
after that i cant even open cydia,,always crash n also cant get the sb setting work,,when i slide therz nothing,,,,pls help me,,,,text me ,,,on +230 789 7764

Thanks for the update, I shall grab it now. I have come to appreciate SBSettings more and more in the few weeks I have used it. Its like having a house keeper at your beckon call. One question and I’m not a programer (wish I was) but is there a way to have a Toggle for Tethering?

Can’t disable EDGE !! PLEASE FIX !!!

This works great, but my phone seems to be working well on memory lately anyway. The surprising problem I had was the installation of VoIPover3G which seems to cause a memory leak. I tried turning off the mobile substrate processes one at a time, and none had any impact until I switched off VoIPover3G. With it installed, Maps would take over 10 seconds to open, without it only 5. So maybe other people should try uninstalling it if they’re having memory problems.

An uptime dispaly WOULD be really cool!

Hi, just recently, (to be more exact since yesterday) I cannot access Cydia’s main frontpage and i cannot download anything from Saurik such as, Winterboard, sbsettings ect. I can download fine from other sources but not Saurik. Cydia takes donkey’s years to load and even that it doesn’t load properly, whats been going on here..?

I need help

Nope, the freeing memory doesn’t free up memory with safari opened…

BigBoss, you’re the one working on Backgrounder right? Sorry for posting this in an unrelated place I just can’t figure out a better place. Do you have a google code page or something?

Anyway, todays update to Backgrounder is awesome. Pandora, FlowChat and other apps are working much more smoothly. However, I got an SMS while working in backgrounded FlowChat. The phone might have been locked at the time. I forget. Either way, after replying to SMS (using default messaging app), it went back to backgrounded FlowChat. I then couldn’t get back to the home screen. clicking button did nothing. holding button did nothing (until voice control popped up). i had to use sbsettings to respring.

Thanks a ton for your amazing work. Let me know if I can help debug this any further.

I just updated SBSettings and SBSettings Toggles via Cydia, it also asked me to upgrade libxslt/gnupg/gnupg error/sqlitev3 etc. They all downloaded and installed correctly, but when I hit Respring, I am now stuck at the boot logo, and after a few minutes it reboots.

I was running Jailbroken via custom IPSW/PWnageTool 3.0 GA software.

I cannot seem to get to the device via IFuntastic or any other method.

Am I stuck recovering? Any ideas what happened?

Hi bigboss when are you planing to update bosstool so we can make more space in system part by moving fonts
thank

3GS fw 3.0 and same here: push disabled and fetch set to manually (yes: also in advanced) but Mail is still a running process and sometimes it checks my gmail account nonetheless.

no Intelliscreen

Thanks. I had seen that google code page but what I saw had no recent updates. Thought it was abandoned and for some reason thought I had read BB had taken over work on it. Sorry for posting to the wrong place.

Hi BigBoos,

I installed SBSettings 3.0.1, everything works fine. But when I tap the Power Off button the iPhone will reboot instead of turn it off. Has something wrong on my iPhone?

Same here on Ipod Touch 2g ;)

Hi BB

I would really really appreciate toggle for Internet Tethering ON/OFF in SBSettings… Is it possible?

SBSettings are the Greatest!!!

Please,

Where can I find the filesystem content of SBSettings? My phone is stuck in an endless restart loop but I can get to the filesystem with iphonebrowser.

I want to manually remove SBSettings to try and get it to work again.

Nicely done! I like SB-Settings really!
But I have still one little issue. I’m using multiple email accounts. After installing SBSettings, I can’t configure them anymore. There is no menu under Settings / Supreme Preferences /SP Applications / Mail, Calenders. So basically I lost the option to add or remove email accounts or to change their configuration.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!

I’m guessing this is a Cydia problem, but… Cydia won’t start. And only change I’ve made on my phone was install this update. Anyone know any Cydia not starting tricks?

Hey bigboss, I have a problem whenever I tap the power off button the iPhone reboots instead of switching off. Can u pls fix this. Thx for an amazing app

hey bigboss i had this exact same issue earlier today. i’ve still troubleshooting exactly what caused it. i remember updating sbsettings, winterboard, categories, and irealsms yesterday. today at work my phone died in my pocket. went from 60% to 5% in a matter of miinutes and the phone was very hot. i tried charging it but that didn’t work. after giving up hope i just put it in my pocket for the rest of the day. before i left work i decided to try and charge it on an ipod dock and it worked. i uninstalled all my cydia apps and everything works fine now. i’ve now reinstalled everything and it seems to work fine now. maybe this is a fluke but seems kinda strange it happened to me, this guy, and his friend.

I’m testing the EDGE toggle, and something is definitely broken. I disabled all push services and rebooted, double checked all the toggles. I’m certain EDGE was “off” (red) when I incurred charges. But push was enabled, even though that was never an issue before. So now, with push disabled, I’m testing it. But f me, now I turn EDGE “on” (green) and I can’t connect! I can make calls either way, so the radio is working. But no IP address, and checking my call history, no data charges.

Something’s not right. It would be fine if EDGE was always disabled, but I can’t predict when it’s going to turn back on now.

Hey foob, saw your fix posted somewhere else. My dpkg/updates folder was/is empty, so I guess it’s something else. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling cydia, but no luck. Maybe there are some leftover folders I should have deleted after the uninstall?

Please read the recent comments on cidia. People liked the simplicity of bossprefs. Someone even made an analogy to google.com. I for one liked having the icon instead of the swipe of the menu bar. I also liked the old way the numerical battery worked with the swipe to toggle it. Even though sbsettings is a nice piece of work, it is more robust than most people want in a simple toggle app. I would even be willing to pay for bossprefs. Forget sbsettings…

Hy,

I recently got an 3gs and want to install sbsettings but i´m constantly getting an “http/1.1 504 Gateway Time-out”. what does this mean?
cheers.

John

I’m trying to download sbsettings on my itouch and it’s not working. How do I get it

+1 on that

Mine is empty too

Same here – I had to modify the APN in order to avoid background traffic.

(PS: I also have a new battery problem since 3.0 I have to deactivate Push and Notifications – maybe a restore helps, but it seems to be common problem, anyway, a push toggle would be great.)

PS2: battery related

Plus I think it’s a lot in the hands of Apple here… f.eg. I can’t quit Mail even if I only use push for my MobileMe Calendars and Adressbook with Mail Push switched of. I need to disable both and quit Mail via Processes.

same here

I have been running into the same problem… only on my 3G, when I try to free up memory, SB Settings actually shows a decrease in available memory. Even if only Mail and Phone are running. I will attempt at a troubleshoot to make sure nothing is running that SB Settings can’t detect, but this problem is very annoying. Especially when I have less than 12-15 MB memory free and try to free up memory. Anyone else having this problem?

I can’t deactivate EDGE on my 3GS!
3G I can deacrivate

great toggle. idea for another (until we can make our own): toggle email primary smtp server ON and OFF. issue shared by many. my primary server, accessed wirelessly via my home network, is cable (roadrunner). when away from network, of course, it doesn’t work, and i need to enable the att server. phone is supposed to automatically use next available server if primary fails. but of course, that doesn’t work — many many posts on messages boards regarding this. instead of digging down many levels to change servers, an SBsetting toggle would be a blessing. Please consider it. Thanks.

Please add tethering toggle

please add show my caller ID toggle im sure everyone on here would agree!!!

Same SBSettings/Cydia problem for me. 3g, restored as new phone to 3.0, activated with O2 sim, JB with redsn0w then ultrasn0w. Everything running beautifully (vodafone). I delayed installing SBSettings due to some (probably spurious) adverse comments. Ran fine for 3 weeks. Then I installed SBSettings from Cydia. After reboot, SBSettings appears transparent (only white words, and no icons, background etc). Appears to work fine, but Cydia crashes while loading. Still crashes in Safe mode. I re-JBd (redsn0w) to reinstall Cydia, but problem persists. I would prefer not to restore as new again, since it’s setup really nicely – but it’s beginning to look as though I’ll have to if I ever want Cydia again (which I do).
I’ve tried pretty-well everything, and apart from SBSetting’s appearance and Cydia’s failure, everything else seems fine.

You SAINT!!! (see my replies above). I found a few files – 0001, 0002 etc and tmp.1 (something like that). Removed them all and now I’ve got Cydia back!

Thank you foob!

Messing the APN settings make incoming calls unavailable.

tether toggle sounds great

i have the same issue, no effect for the free mem widget in SB settings but free mem from cydia works… i hope there is a solution!

I uploaded Supreme Preferences (3.0) and activated it in Winterboard, this work as well.
Thank you

Installed SbSettings on Jailbroken 3GS iPhone. Hangs up on “Reload Springboard” and can’t restart it.

im stuck here also ive restored twice now i dont want to try again now but sbsetting in almost my number one reason to jailbreak

Hi there! Everytime i want to install SBSettings onto my new German Iphone 3GS it crashes at the end when i press the “reload sprinboard button” so i have to do a complete restart onto my iphone by holding the home and start button for at least 5 seconds.
Here is a picture:

http://www.rpg-museum.com/hades/sbfehler.jpg

jeah you’re right. It’s not a crashing but a hung up. After holding home and power it works fine.

Could you make SBSettings have a landscape mode?

Hi BigBoss,

Shouldn’t “com.sbsettings.freemem” (777) be in “var/mobile/Library/SBSettings/Commands” instead of “/var/mobile/Library/Commands” for the free memory feature to work?

+1

This would be very helpful. For those times when I am on WiFi or not at my desk!

This might be kicking a dead horse but,
I own a iPhone 3GS 32GB 3.0, Jailbroken with purplera1n, and I’m having some minor bugs.

Fist, when I install SBSettings when I “Restart SpringBoard” it just has the waiting symbol for ever. So I manually force power it off. It seems to work fine after it restarts though.

Second, When ever my iPhone is plugged into my computer,charger, any thing that I can plug into after a bit of using it the SpringBoard goes into safe mode. Again, its only happened to me when I’m plugged into something.

Can you please fix these bugs?
thank you.

i would also LOVE a tethering usb toggle

i just had the same problem 5 mins back . . .i just held down the power button n the home button till the ipod rebooted. . .took some time but when it did start everything was normal with sbsettings working. . . .

yesterday i updated to ultrasnow 0.9 and everything worked great as expected. Today i updated to the latest version of sbsettings, and now i can’t open cydia. When i try to, it goes into the loading phase, then goes back to home screen. I am OS 3.0 on a 3G iphone. Do i need to restore from a previous backup to fix this issue or rejailbreak and unlock my iphone?

Also restarting doesn’t fix the problem

shit!!! sorry guys that looks like Chinese I cant even tell what in talking about. ill figure out a way to get the info out..

ok so i figured out a way to let you guys see how to fix this issue of the status bar disappearing on 3.0 just click my name and it will take you to my how to fix this problem post hope this helps take care guys

-mk321024

i have the same Problem

I just installed SB 3.0.1 and I have the same problem, did you find any solution to the problem ?
Hope someone can help, it just go back to home screen after 1 second

My 1st gen iPhone (FW 3.0) also has the battery drain problem with SBSettings 3.0.1.
Removing SBSettings and installing it again does not help.

It’s definitely SBSettings because after removing it the battery drain vanished.

SBSettings is a great tool but unfortunately it must have some new power consuming code in (new functions or loops). I have not noticed any edge data transfer whilst it silently drains the battery. Maybe someone is able to monitor the CPU time for SBSettings. Using TOP from within the Terminal APP does not show me sbsetting or I’m just to dumb in using TOP.

Hi. I’m from Brazil. Your application is awesome. Tks for developing.
I want report a problem of reenable EDGE in my iPhone 3G, FW3.0 and TIM local cell phone company. I try change APN settings but don’t work too. So with syslog enable I can see when disable EDGE from SBSettings, I receive a msg “lockdownd[22]: (0x39d802b8) lookup_baseband_info: The SIM status has changed”. After this message, EDGE enabled again (sbsettings edge icon in red, but he show data ip address). If I can help you to solve this problem, please, contact me in my email.

*Sorry, my English is VERY bad.

Thank bananaman61for that info I look into it and your where right got cydia back online shit I even learn more put ringtone make vnc wrk and put utube videos THANK YOU !!!!! : )

Same problem with sbsettings and my 3g with 3.0. The more button in SBS not working and then cydia exploding. Deleted everything in /var/lib/dpkg/updates/ now everything works. if nothing shows up in this folder (and cydia still not working) try logging in as root as well as mobile. i tried root and everything worked for me.

How do u know?

Great update,love it!

Just waiting for “show my caller id” toggle!

anyone working on the Tethering toggle ? I tried smth, but seams like my skills are not up to that level. Willing to give a hand if anyone is on the right path….

you are dumb and don’t even know what you’re talking about.

Hey Bigboss yall have done an amazing job producing great applications. I know yall have a lot on yalls hand and so little time to cover them all. All I ask is make BossTool available for the community. I really need this app to work again bc I only have 69 HDD of memory left on iphone while u have 110HDD. Plz if u have a lot in ur hands send me an e-mail so i can help so we can get this done. tnx

I have this battery problem two after installing SBSettings and its because the screen stays on until I push top power button, even after removing app. anyone no how to reverse this.

i’m afraid you are mistaken, bigboss. I too have a massive severe battery drain problem. I even restored, set up as new phone – and with no other apps installed I ran all day and it used 20% battery. Charged up, next day I install sbsettings and within 10 minuets of use I was down to 78% and by 2 hrs later it was at 30%. Would not last through my 8 he shift. Uninstallds sbsettings charged up and ran another day – heavy use on edge, 3g with by and wifi on and 6 hrs later I’m at 83%. Something is deiantely wrong with sbsettings. Thus started for me after an sbsettings update on 7/15. Also installing bossprefs it does the exact same thing. I can’t live without my uafaker, bigboss- please make wrong things right!

I can’t get any of the tggles to work! I press them but nthijg happens. I can get the power, dock, refresh and more to work but the toggles like brightness, wifi, or rotation don’t respond to anything. It’s really annoying I don’t know what caused it restarting/rebooting doesn’t help. It worked fine before now it suddnely stopped working. Was it something I downloaded? The toggles just don’t work now

I would love a tethering toggle.

+1 for tethering. Very much needed!

This was wonderful !
I always knew it was the theme, but did not know how to fix it..
Thank you very much !!

I had the same problem today where it told me I had to update SBSettings when I loaded Cydia and once I did the install of SBSettings, my iPhone restarted and from that point forward Cydia would no longer load.

My fix for this ended up being in the terminal typing

apt-get remove sbsettings
I then had to type apt-get autoremove

Once that was done I rebooted the phone and when it came back up, the phone was ok afterwards. The odd thing is, that even after I “removed” it this way the SBSettings program is still there and working, and now Cydia works as well.

SO to sum it up I have NO idea what I did but it seemed to work and I thought I’d pass it along just in case it works for someone else lol.

Not sure where the best place to put feature requests is, but how about a toggle that enables/disables sms alerts? I’m a sysadmin and get a lot of automated notifications, which I don’t want waking me up in the middle of the night :). So every night I set the SMS alert to none, and every morning set it back on. It would sure be nice to have a quick and easy toggle rather than going through the menus.

Thanks…

Is there any possible way to get a hold of this tether toggle that you say is so easy to make?

Hello Big Boss,,

I am trying to install sbsetting to my ipod touch 2g jailbroken, but when im already on the “Reload Springborad” screen it just hangs and all i can do is to turn off my ipod, but when i turn it back on its already crashed and have to connect it to itunes and restore and all my apps downloaded are all gone like i need to do all of it all over again. i already tried to jailbreak my ipod perfect but it seems there is still an error i experience.

Could you please help me out on this Big Boss? I would greatly appreciate it million times if i could use it perfectly. please email me for your answer…

Thanks!

I’ve been looking all over for a toggle for Tethering… if you could please post/share the information, that would be GREAT!

WTB USB tether toggle.. PST…

dear sir,
i have iphone 16 GB 3G with the latest firmware 3.1.2. I have jailbreak it and install SBsettings through cedia. After the insallation the mobile restarted but when i slide my finger on the status bar nothing appears.
can you please help me out through this,
thanks in anticipation.

No worries i found it lol

I need help. I killed messages by accident in sbsetting. How do I make it run in the background again?

If you have terminal installed, you can change the permissions of cydia with it. Just google the command should be something lick chmod-775 or something

How to down it ?

Mocks, me too!

I install other SBStoggle, and reboot.
But it toggle is question mark! (like ipod icon.)
and NOT working… Why?

Please HELP BigBoss or someone!

Hello there, simply changed into aware of your weblog via Google, and found that it is really informative. I am gonna be careful for brussels. I?ll appreciate if you happen to continue this in future. Numerous other folks can be benefited out of your writing. Cheers!
