Categories Updates – Internal Rewrite of App

Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

##ICON_NAME## Yesterday, Categories, an application that allows you to organize the applications on your SpringBoard into folders, received a few updates. The update to version 2.27 was the major one which basically includes an internal rewrite of the app making the app perform much quicker. Updates 2.27.1 and 2.27.2 were basically bug fixes. See the complete change log below.

After updating, I definitely notice an improvement in the app’s functionality. It is MUCH quicker and just feels less bulky. So far, I have not had one crash… which is great! Normally, Categories will crash a few times on me. I also love that when adding an application to a folder, the apps are now in correct Alphabetical order! It makes adding applications so much faster and easier!

trichome – WinterBoard Theme

Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

##ICON_NAME## trichome2 trichome is a very nicely designed WinterBoard theme that contains 39 small icons (some are alternate icons), a wallpaper, dock, badges, pop-up mod, live clock mod and page indicators.

I really like the live clock mod implementation. You do not have to have the actual LiveClock app installed for the live clock to work with this theme… it is built into the theme. The theme also contains an icon mask which resizes all icons (besides web clip icons) so that they match the themed icons. It also contains a detailed .psd file allowing you to create your own icons for the theme. You can get trichrome via the modmyi source.
