AppCap actually has quite a few options in the setting allowing the ability to be pretty specific about when the app can be used. You are able to set the number of times you can launch an app in a day (ex. the app can only be open 4 times a day), a duration of time in which the app can be launched (ex. between 7:00pm-9:00pm), the frequency in which the app can be used (ex. the app can only be used once every 4 hours), the days of the week an app can be opened (ex. it can only be opened on Saturday) and whether the app can only be launched while on WiFi or even a specific WiFi network. All of these settings can be used together. For example, you could set an app to only launch on a Saturday between 8:00pm and 10:00pm.

The only issue I have with this application is that it only allows the ability to restrict one application at a time. It would be nice to be able to create a list of apps and be able to restrict each one uniquely. It would also be sweet if there was an option to put a password on the AppCap settings. Though, overall, a nice little hack.

Note: If you have any difficultly getting the app to work correctly just toggle it on/off.

NCSettings is a hack that adds a list of toggles to your Notification Center. It’s a clean little hack that allows you to toggle 18 different functions. There are also a few convenient customization options such as the ability to add/remove toggles from the display, ability to choose the number of toggles displayed before scrolling, etc. A few things I like about NCSettings are that it takes up very little space in the Notification Center and it is super clean… just icons. It did take me a little while to remember which icon stood for which function but, the mind adapts. Oh, I almost forgot, I also love that I can toggle my flash from there as well. No more searching for my flashlight app!

You will find the options for NCSettings in the stock Settings application.

Note: Don’t forget to go into the Notifications option in your Settings app and move NCSettings up into the active apps list. I moved NCSettings all the way to the top of my list so that it would display first in my Notification Center… since it is so pretty and all.

PhotoProtect – The very first hack I installed was PhotoProtect, a hack that prevents photos from being deleted off your iDevice. If you have young children (or maybe crazy friends), you understand my need for this hack. I’m pretty sure the first thing my 2-year-old does when he picks up my iPhone is take pictures and I’m always afraid he is going to accidentally delete one in the process. Once installed, the controls for this app are in the stock Settings application. This app has an added bonus with the ability to customize the pop-up text and button text. See the screenshots below.

Note: If you have any trouble with this application, just toggle it on/off again.

Infinifolders – Infinifolders is a hack that allows you to put as many apps in a folder as you would like. Apple only allows for 12 apps in a folder (and there are times when 12 apps just doesn’t cut it!!). Seriously, there are just more than 12 apps for my “Shopping” folder. Nothing fancy with this hack, just install it and start adding more than 12 apps… no icon or settings.

SBSettings – If you have read my previous post, you already know that SBSettings has sentimental value to me… being an old school jailbreaker and whatnot. Not only does this hack allow for quick access to brightness controls, WiFi toggle and respringing ability… it allows me to do some of my favorite hacks including changing my carrier name and adding the date to my status bar. <---- This is HUGE, it is so annoying to have to go find my calendar icon to know the current date. Now, I can just look at my status bar no matter what app I'm in (as long as the statusbar is visible obviously). The option to add the date to the statusbar is located in the More menu in SBSettings under the SBSetting Options in the menu. The ability to change the carrier name is in the More menu under the System Options in the menu. See screenshots below.

BytaFont – BytaFont is an application that allows you to customize the fonts on your iDevice. Once installed, you can browse from a list of fonts, see screenshots of those fonts, rate fonts and choose the fonts you would like to install. I will say the app is a tiny bit clunky and does take a few minutes to learn how to use it with ease but, other than that, it does it’s job, it’s nicely designed and it has a decent list of fonts to browse through.

Note: You can get a little more specific with your font customization in the Advanced option. Check it out.

Two mods that I have installed this week are ColorClock and Message Bubble Colors. You can check out reviews of those mods HERE and HERE. Those are my Friday Favs for this week. Let me know what some of your favs are in the comments.

So… I wanted to make my lockscreen clock a nice magenta pink (to match my chat bubbles of course), so I slid the R (top slider) to the right to add more red, the G (second slider) to the left to have less green and the B (bottom slider) about half way to get a fair amount of blue in my pink. If you are not big on trying to figure out your own color, this website allows you to choose a color and then will give you the color codes or it gives you a few pre-picked colors with codes and you can just use those codes to adjust the sliders in the app. I personally like to make my own colors… I kind of geek out on that stuff.

One nice thing about this mod is that it does not respring your device. If you change the color, you can just close the Settings app and lock your device and the color will be changed. Very nice.

Note: if you would like to set your font back to white, but would like to leave the mod installed, you can just adjust the sliders all the way to the right (255,255,255) to create white.

Each of the 21 colors come with an outgoing and incoming message option. This does add a lot to your WinterBoard themes menu, but it allows you more customization. Some of the colors also have an iMessage option. There is even an interesting option that removes the chat bubbles. I did notice that the Gray color option does not work correctly and I have emailed the developed about that… hopefully we will see a fix for it.

Below is a full list of the colors so that you are able to see what they look like without having to respring your device each time… seriously it took like a day and a half to get all those screenshots!!! OK, maybe not a day and a half but it did take forever. Doug said our motto should be “We respring so you don’t have to.” Ha!

Note: Because this mod does use WinterBoard, will need to make sure you already have WinterBoard installed before installing Message Bubble Colors.

One feature of SBSettings that some of you may not be aware of is that you are able to add the SBsettings menu into your Notification Center (that is the menu you get when you swipe down your screen from your status bar at the top of your device). To do so, you will need to go into your stock Settings application and then into the Notifications option. Scroll down to the bottom and you will see SBSettings. Just tap it and then turn it on. (Remember, you can rearrange the order in which things display in your Notification Center by selecting Edit and then dragging them by touching the three bars on the right and dragging them around.) Once you are in the Notification Center, you can swipe the SBSettings menu to the left and right to see more options.
