SBSettings v1.0 Release

BigBoss — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:59:53 +0000

SBSettings v1.0 is out. Make sure you get 1.0-3 (3rd repack). This release has the following features:

1) Brightness toggle
2) Themes
3) No longer launches at lock screen at all.
4) Home button can be used to close the window.

What did not make it: Application launch dock. I have been testing most these features all week with success. Then I put out a version early Sunday and installed it on my other iPhone and it was doing nothing but crashing springboard. Anyways, after a few hours more work, I decided to pull the dock out. It’s too problematic and I’m not sure why at this time plus Im too tired to worry about it. That will come back in later.

As for themes, I have added two themes to the main distribution: HUD and Tech Shadows. The rest I will package up as addons and release tonight.

One more thing: this version relies on toggle pack 1.3.1

Tip: To anyone that hid Cydia on the dock in the previous version and cant update. SSH into your device as root. Then run apt-get update sbsettings – after this, respring or reboot and you’ll be out of safe mode and you can use the more button to unhide Cydia.

SBSettings 1.0 This Weekend

BigBoss — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 19:43:17 +0000

I have completed all major work on SBSettings v1.0 and am now just testing. The changes (that I can remember) are:

1) Brightness toggle / slider added

2) Themes added. We now have 8 addon themes. I have selected 2 of these (HUD and Tech Shadows) to be distributed with the core. The rest we can release as theme addons along with the v1.0 release.

3) Dock added. You can add your settings apps to a dock. Then there is a dock button to show the dock and launch your apps. This allows you to clear them off your springboard (like Bossprefs dock).

4) Fully preventing the app from loading while on lock screen. Too many complaints about app being accidentally opened and draining battery or toggling things off.

5) Home button now closes main window in addition to little X that was hard to press.

I have a couple help screen documents to write before the release can go out and am waiting on some small updates from iPodTouchMaster on the “more” app, but otherwise I am currently testing the code-complete springboard addon. It should be out before the end of the weekend.

Remember, I am on pacific time so I have until Midnight Sunday :)
