respring still knocks me into safe mode.

Often you can just respring again and come out of it. This sometimes happens after a “restart springboard” in Cydia especially if you have multiple mobile substrate plugins or intelliscreen / kate installed. It may be a problem with interaction of them at the same time. If you want to install “LogMailer” and send me your syslog on a safe mode respring, I can take a look at it.

SBSettings doesn’t work with safari in landscape mode. When sliding the status bar which is longer being landscape, the SBSettins comes out normally (portrait). So SBSettings isn’t detecting if it’s in landscape mode.

*Thank you* BigBoss!! Keep up the truly great work.

Well, the old problem with the lockscreen is there agin with this version! If you slide the status bar and make SBSettings visible – then lock the iphone, it will appear on the lockscreen. Could this be fixed? :)

Oh actually it does now.

Replicate:

#1 Swipe the status bar
#2 Lock Button
#3 Lock button again

As Mik said statusbar still appears.

Just want to say it doesnt bother me in the slightest. I won’t lock my phone with it on, and my phone never leaves my sight. So security isn’t an issue.

If you’ve got my iPhone, I’m probably already dead. ;)

Honestly, this is going to be rather low priority since it is totally in your control *not* to do that :)

is it possible to make the dock as an alternative dock?, i mean to have both icons, one in the sbs dock and also in my sprinboard, hope it can be done, thanks for this great app

You can add the icons you want to the dock, they will be hidden. Then you can load the more app again and use the hidden icons section to unhide them.

I didn´t know that could be done, much better now, thanks again

so awesome! thanks a ton for the hard work and the updates! sbsettings is darn near perfect…

ok i must say i love the new dock Big boss, Great job. But i just have to mention one little bug/issue. when i place photos into dock it doesnt show up in the dock. All that shows up is a blank spot where im guessing photos should be and when i press that spot it acts like its launching something and closes SBSetting and nothing happens. Also i am having the respring problem also on two of my 2g iphones where springboard just crashes into mobile substrate safe mode. (one of the iphones is brand new and freshly jailbroken with basically nothing installed) Could it be because i am running firmware 2.0.1 on both of em?

Thank you for providing it :)

The photos and camera won’t work on the dock because they have weird bundle id’s. I intended this for other settings style apps so did not address these odd ball apps.

The respring problem is pretty odd. It is crashing springboard intermittently on some iPhones and not others while rebuilding the cache. I may just require my respring app to be installed for this button to work. I have a version of SBSettings right now that will use the respring app if it detects that it’s installed.

Wow i cant believe one of the app that i was waiting for finally out.Hopefully i will be able to run it now :)

Can I have this and BossPrefs installed or do they conflict in any way? And are there any serious bugs reported yet that should cause me to wait a little bit before installing this app?

i just want to say thank you again

I found another bug that I dont think anyone mentioned. If you open sbsettings and then lock the phone and press the lock button again, sbsettings is still up (as stated above) but then if you open the dock and try to launch an app, it crashes to safe mode.

Is there any way to have the dock apps show the notifier bubbles? I would love to have insomnia in that list and it to show me if it was on or off.. or even a toggle for it.

is there any ways to get an autolock toggle in the next update? I would find this very useful since when I drive and use the phone as an iPod I like being able to see the art work and not gave the screen dim cause that causes you to have to tap once to “wake” the screen and again to control the music.

A toggle would be awesome, since currently it’s like a 4 step process to turn on and off and even in the old bossprefs app it’s a hassle to launch the app for the toggle. (lazy I know)

P.s. I love this app. Thanks a million.

Got it after couple of times restarting cydia.
It’s cool …BigBoss rocks !!!!!

well I’ve noticed it only happens on both my 2g iPhones running 2.0.1 firmware. My 3g running 2.1 is perfectly fine. I’m gonna update one of my 2g phones to 2.1 tonight just for kicks to see if it corrects the respring issue. I’ll keep you posted.

BigBoss: I was just about to comment on this. This isn’t a huge deal in the way its presented, but its a bit of a nuissance if you leave your phone idle with SBS pulled up, like I sometimes do. I know its just a home button push away from a fix now (thank god) but it does still show up on the lock screen if you let it idle-lock. Just wanted to let you know ;)

One other q: are there going to be more toggles released? would it be possible to make the dock icons show up in place of some toggles? Maybe also a way to disable the X close button altogether? thx.
PS thanks for everything man.

Hi Boss anyway you can add “Lock” to the toggles? Essentially the button “Lock” under “Power”.

Hi BigBoss,

This is the my favorite pogam on my iphone. Many many thanks. I have a problem, when I lock my iphone and try to access SBSettings (1.0.1) by sliding on the Status Bar nothing displayed. But when I unlock my iphone and try to run sbsettings it is working well without any problem,

How can I solve this issue? (previous verision was working well)

Works great! Thanks for developing this awesome app. I have 1 question though: If I hid (poofed) apps with BossPrefs, and I add those apps to the dock in SBSettings, will they appear?

BigBoss,

Thank you for the update! It works better for me, but it my iphone still automatically turn on SSH on restart even though it is toggled to OFF in BossPrefs. Can you advise on a solution? Also, would you mind listing some of the toggles are you working on for SBSettings?

I, for one, would love to have one for Show Caller ID (ON/OFF)

Thanks again!

One more thing,

I just added some apps to the dock of SBSettings, but the icons shown in the SBSettings dock is different from the ones that I am using on the SB. Can you advise where the dock is drawing the icons from?

Many thanks!

BB

Excellent App,congratulations and thank you.

I notice this:

My Notes are password protected with the Lockdown app from Cydia, if I add Notes to the Dock and open the Notes it bypass the password protection, in other words, doesn’t launch Lockdown.

I would like the Auto Correction toggle.

Muchas Gracias

Thanks for including the brightness control, very conventient and I was able to remove Settings from the (standard) dock. I can’t tell if Settings Auto-Brightness toggle does anything; I adjust brightness at least twice/day.

One 1.0-3 and 1.0.1 feature I’ve found is that if you turn the brightness all the way down (as I do when riding my vanpool after dark), then put the phone to sleep, it will turn the backlight off completely. I then have to find a bright light so I can see the display well enough to turn the brightness back up in Settings, then power off and back on to get the backlight on. Anyone else find this?

I’ve been having some other intermittent issues with the status bar not updating the battery power (locks on 0 or 100) or WiFi strength (nothing shown), but don’t know if that’s related to SBSettings. I have had trouble with a couple of Installer Apps, so I now have Installer hidden so I won’t be tempted to use it. Cydia is great!

-David

same brightness issue here. If all the way down, next wake up is either flickering low brightness, either almost no light at all…if so only a dfu reboot helps to bring things back to normal…anyone?

Hay thanks seriously,just asking,anyway to remove the info thing under the docks,so i know ill see more space.

The power issue is not related to SBSettings. It’s a known issue that’s existed since 1.0 firmware.

thanks for the awesome release BigBoss! as with all your releases, it works like a charm. :)

any chance on an autolock toggle in future versions?

This app is awesome!

I’m running into a problem when I hit the “more” icon. It says:

Permissions Error
Admob blocking has been detected in your hosts file. I have worked many hours on this app. It cannot run with this block in place.

How do I remove this block?

ok the trick worked! I was just not reading well your instructions… thanks! By the way, to prevent this from happening, should we NOT go all the way down brightness-wise?

Amazing work! As many have and will say, I can’t live without SBSettings! MANY thanks for all your hard work!

This is a wonderful app and I have a FEATURE REQUEST that would make it even better:

If it would be possible to set times at which specific buttons would automatically turn off and on this would allow us to save battery. I guess nobody needs phone and wireless and 3g during the night so we could automatically turn them off during night.

What do you think? Any other application that already does this?

Can we have an option to turn off the phone data block. I would like to not see the phone name, ip address, and hard drive space.

I did the update in Cydia but version number still says 1.01 on the app when it’s pulled down. (Cydia reports 1.02 is installed)

+ 1 for info text removal option.

And another little request: possibility to hide labels.

Thanx for the work done!

Please add a VPN toggle!

How could I get the Safari DL toggle on sbsettings. That is the only reason I’m still hanging on to BossPrefs…

1.0.2 just added new bugs!! Apps in the dock don’t work anymore when you’re inside another app!!!

Hi BigBoss will u ever think of toggle that show how many apps are working in the background and possibility to close some of them by simplu one click in SBsettings ? Thats what lot of people having PC are waiting for !!!!
Best Greetings

I upgraded to 1.02 and now the dock doesn’t work unless you are in Springboard. Where can I find 1.0.1 again?

Can I make a request for a toggle for push e-mail? I toggle it at least a couple times a day and it would be a huge convenience. Thanks!

This would be poiintless because when your phone is in standby none of that stuff is being used.

Hi there:
as Push said I am looking for a email toggle and airplane that turn off phone and wifi at the same time (as BoosPrefs does).

Thanks in advance!!!

LOL…really clicking twice is too much work to turn off the phone and wifi? I use airplane mode all the time but I like it as 2 icons.

How about we be patient before everyone starts asking for stuff and give BB a chance to finish flushing out the bugs. I highly doubt he wants to start making changes/add-ons until he knows the program is very stable.

I’m assuming add-ons like auto-lock and safari-dl will come eventually. They did for BossPrefs. You just need some patients. This program has officially been out for two days and I’m assuming BB and ITM have lives outside of trying to please everyone that leaves a comment and request here.

I can reproduce the “Safe Mode” error every time. On my end, I have Categories installed and it is placed in the Sbsettings Dock. When I place a program into a category and use Respring it will put me into Safe Mode. Even with the latest version.

Thanks BigBoss.

Sorry, but with the only report being “the dock doesnt work” there’s nothing I can fix. It works fine for me and I have not enough details to understand the problem.

I am ok with this limitation. You should not be trying to launch other apps when inside an app anyway.

Yea, we will add a double tap selection option in the future. Good suggestion.

I read other messages and fixed the issue.

Dear BigBoss,

Thank you for this application!

I loved the possibility of accessing to SBSettings in lockscreen. Is it possible to add this feature as an option? If someone wants to use SBSettings in lockscreen, he/she could turn this possibility on.

I 3rd the request for an Auto Correction toggle

Just request custom plugins and toggles, that would be the best part :-) !

Well then don’t hit the X button and press the home button ;)

Hello,
I tried 1.0.1 and 2: today I reverted back to Bossprefs for one simple reason: the iphone (3g 2.1) became slow. Every operation was slower than normal. I rebooted several times trying to fix the issue wiith no success.
Then I removed the last applicaiton installed: SBSettings.
Everything went back to normality.
I use a lockscreen widget (status notifier’s) and a weather widget in the springboard. Maybe the widgets + sbsettings is too much, dunno.
Anyone with a similar experience?

Hi there BB.

Awesome app as usual -your work delivers where Apple comes short. Thanks for keeping up the good work.

I have a question and a recommendation:

My question is, is there any way that when the Phone is power-cycled it maintains SSH off? Right now If I toggle SSH off is stays off but if I cycle power it will boot up with SSH on. (Maybe I am doing something wrong?)

The suggestion is along the lines of an Auto Airplane mode toggle that allows the phone to goes into airplane mode automatically at a given time and wake up accordingly at a different time – it can help save some battery power over night.

Most sincere thanks.

keep up the great work.

Well sadly, im on 2.1, i added then removed some icons from the SB dock, & now my phone is stuck in a constant springboard cycle… ive tried a forced reboot, and now i get the apple logo, spinning wheel and if i plug it in it even vibrates every 5 seconds :( :( :( i can still SSH – any one know of how to fix this….and the posted ways of the watchdog bundle DOESNT work for this occasion

Mine came with weather widget + sbsettings..

Nothing wrong oh.

You added a dock icon and then uninstalled the app. Reinstall that app, remove it from dock then uninstall it.

In SSH, delete, /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist and power cycle the device. It should come up with a stock springboard for you to reconfigure.

After upgrading my Safari doesn’t save history anymore. I had this problem before after I installed SafariDL plugin, but I uninstalled it and it the problem was gone. Now it’s back.

What should I try?

Works great but when i power cycle my phone SSH turns on even if i had it turned off before powering down my phone.

Does it have the ability to enable/disable individual mail accounts yet, or is that still a feature limited to BossPrefs?

@ BigBoss: Hi BB! Is it possible for me to download version 0.92 somewhere??? Be coz I really really really NEED to have the function open it from lockscreen u see!!!!!
OR, is it possible u gonna add that function to this version 1.0.3???
PLEASE make my day and add it as an option to slide and open it from lockscreen….pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Thx man. U r best.

Hey BigBoss,

Thanks for the reply, for info for yourself, SBSettings is DEFINATELY the cause of my problems, i finally decided to restore, i installed: MakeItMine, SwirlyMMS, IntelliScreen, WinterBoard, SSH and a few others, all was working well….untill i then decided again to install SBSettings (latest version) to my disappointment, the first time it reloaded the springboard, all was fine….then i added a few blank apps to act as spacers as i had done previously. Now, i norm used BossPrefs to do a fast respring and rebuild the cache, but as i didnt install it (SBSettings being it successor) i used SBSettings to do the relaunch………& guess what….BOOM………its starts doing that stupid constant respring crap. So i restored once more, installed everything i did last time EXCEPT SBSettings and whola its all good again & im now using BossPrefs!!

Im not bitching, im very well aware we run these apps at our own risk and i am in no means blaming anyone, im merely trying to inform you in case others have had or may have similar issues. It is DEFO something to do with the springboard, as you say deleting that plist may have helped but i have since restored and darent try it again until perhaps an update is released lol

I love BossPrefs but i love the concept of SBSettings much more – it is an awesome app, just too unstable for me atm.

Keep up the gd work tho & if i can be of assistance somehow or you want more info, i filled in my email address when i posted this :)

Cheers

James

this app is great. when do you think you’ll add location services as a toggle? Keep up the good work

U my day man!! $$$ to u!!

It is a great appendix, Thank you very much for the effort and the time spent. Really appreciate

I would ask without bother future development plans for SafariDL toggle and……maybe for VPN togle

How about a button that lets you jump to the inbox of account X?

To switch mailboxes now, it’s tap-tap-tap-tap-tap. Ugh.

I was a little surprised to find that the dock icons disappeared from the regular view. Not a huge deal, but their absence messed up the alignment of all my other icons.

But all in all, SBSettings is coming along quite nicely — thank you for all the work, BigBoss.

Bigboss, I love the dock. Is it possible to trigger the dock from the springboard with an icon? like put one down in the bottom 4 apple dock icons?

Doesn’t work at all for me on 2G 2.1.

I can launch the sbsettings.app from Finder app (cydia). Some of the settings appears and I can configure it. But I can’t launch it from the springboard by gentle swipe or double tap on status bar.
May be it conflicts with some installed app.

Any clue to fix it ?

FAO: BIGBOSS:::

I wanted to update you – it would appear, that after months or using a patched iapd file (due to “this accessory blah not compatible blah” message kept popping up randomly) it decided it would no longer like it – how odd. Ive used this patched iapd file for about 3 months now with no probs, then suddenly it appeared to be the cause of my problems. i NEVER installed sbsettings after restoring a 3rd time and my phone still ended up in a dodgy cycle – i then replaced the patched iapd with the original and it was all better again!! — how odd i must say!

But, that said, i was in error when i stated it was SBSettings – it must clearly of been coincidental.

Thought it was only fair i posted an update incase anyone was put off by reading my post (doubtful i know)

Thanks again BB

jtanner

I dont believe the Brightness levels stay at what u set due to the iPhone using ambient light sensors. (i think… :-s ) i always thought the brightness adjusted itself to its surroundings similar to the mac book pro i have :) — the sensors for the mac book pro are either side of key board! put ur hands over the speaker looking pin holed area and as if by magic the screen dims & the keyboard lights up lol. I believe the sensor in the iphone is just above the ear speaker (top middle of phone)

Great APP, thanks !
What about considering to add this feature ?
Slide from left to right open SBSettings WHILE
sliding from right to left open DOCK.
It would be fantastic, what do you think ?
Thanks

edge toggle doesnt work on 2.2 (2G iPhone), it always kick me to safe mode when i tried to toggle it off

hi,

i just dunno if its my iphone problem or what..since i tried to install SBSettings several times, but it didnt show up at all..
and the status bar which indicate the download status didnt show nay progress at all…but it said it is complete….
so can anyone help ? thanks

I wonder if there is anyway to have the status bar still scroll to the tope of a web page? Currently, when I have SBSettings installed tapping on the status bar now does nothing. Swiping on the status bar opens SBSettings, as expected. I’m going to have to uninstall SBSettings for now.

Where do i report a bug?

SBsettings – current version

Use iPhone 3G in landscape mode with Safari, move finger across top of landscape mode and BossPrefs launches from side (as if it were in Portrait mode); however, Bossprefs will not close using X unless phone is rotated to portrait mode. Toggles work, but X to close does not.

Hi,after I hidden all icons in the springboard via SBSetting v1.0.3 my iphone can not reboot normally any more. How can I fix this issue? If you know, please send your idea to my email.Thanks!

What if you don’t remember which app you installed? :(

I’m having a problem with the dock in sbsettings. I can’t add or remove any applications to it. After toggling applications both on and off I’ve tried presing the back button, respringing and just returning to the homescreen but the apps that I want to add/remove never appear in the dock.
Any ideas?

I’m having the exact same issues as comment 110. Just updated to OS 3.1.2. Iphone 3G
