Hello I have a question about Overboard. I just got Overboard and like the quality of it and see I went to the Overboard springboard screen and when I turn it off and turn it back on it goes back to the regular itouch screen not the Overboard springboard screen like the application Orbit how you can go to the orbit screen and when you turn it off and turn it back on the orbit screen is still there. Is there a way or a fix to have Overboard just like Orbit when you turn off and turn back on and will be able to see the Overboard screen?

Sincerely, Namchi

Bah.

I know this is an old(ish) post, but since I’ve tried both Orbit (updated) and Overboard, I’ll put in my $.02.

Honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference from a performance perspective- they both seemed slow compared to SpringJumps, though they obviously add the benefit of having previews of your SB pages. While it probably isn’t any quicker, I like that Overboard loads all of the previews at once- not one at a time like Orbit does.

So far, the only major advantage I’ve discovered with Overboard is that you can specify a 2-column preview, which means you can actually see and identify the icons on your SB pages; the obvious downside being that you have to scroll to see any more than 6 pages.

So basically, both are better than SB, or SpringJumps or Categories, but if you’ve already got Orbit (like I did,) I probably wouldn’t dump the $1.99 on Overboard (like I did). I agree with Richard that the rivalry between the two will probably make both better.

There is an orbit on the app store? I didn’t know that. What’s worse is that orbit has been on Cydia for a while now, and the new update just added the double click functionality. You should have at least bought that.

On the other hand, if you keep it on your dock, I find that clicking on the app takes less time than double clicking the home button.

I upgraded to Orbit 1.1 to compare to OverBoard. I was crashing and kicking me into safe mode. If I tried to move any icons my Springboard would crash.
I uninstalled. Re-Installed and then got an error that I needed to install Mobile Substrate. I goto Cydia, it says it is installed. So I Re-Installed M-Ss. And it worked better, not crashes but I have like to pages that it does not capture all of the icons on the page in the thumbnail even after navigating to that page. Orbit 1.0 would at least refresh the missing icons in the thumbnails after nav’d to that page.

Sticking to OverBoard for now!

If I would,ve know this will be on cydia app store, I would not have bought the orbit restrictec app from the app store. because I dont think apple will let orbit to have the doble click function on it. : (

Oh right. Losing music control on the lock screen with Orbit is not great at all! I’m sure there will be a fix soon, though. These apps are so close, I don’t see myself switching and paying again. I’ll wait till Orbit gets another update.
