Categories Update – Back-End Changes

Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

##ICON_NAME## Categories, an application that allows you to organize the applications on your SpringBoard into folders, has been updated to version 2.8. The update makes quite a few back-end changes to the app. Check out the complete change log below.

Note: We did have an issue updating Categories on one of our test iPhones. It took all the apps out of the folders and made the folders unable to be deleted. However, I updated Categories on my personal iPhone and I had no issues at all… it kept the folders and all the apps inside them.

SnapTap – Use Volume Button as Camera Button

Available In: Cydia       Price: $0.99  

CameraI can’t really show you any screenshots of this app, but it’s an awesome hack that’s worth the $0.99. What it does is make your volume buttons become your camera button when the camera app is open. That way when taking pictures you can hold it like a normal camera. It also makes self portraits much easier! It not only works for the camera but to activate the video camera and stop it. Lastly, it works in all apps where the camera feature is used. I tested it in a few apps like Facebook. Again, I recommend this app, awesome!

Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

##ICON_NAME## In the last two days, MacCiti has released 6 Christmas Wallpaper Packs. Instead of doing them each individually I thought I would put them all in one post so that you can compare. Most of the packs contain ten wallpapers all of which are totally random (and vary in quality) but will definitely put you in the Christmas spirit!

Remember, when you install this wallpaper pack, the wallpapers are added to your stock Settings application under Wallpapers. You can get Christmas Walls via the MacCiti source.

##ICON_NAME## LockInfo, a feature-packed lock screen mod, was updated to version 1.1.8. The update includes a fix and a new “feature.” With the new version, the lock screen auto dim is reset when you touch the lock screen so the lock screen will no longer go dim while you are viewing LockInfo! I have actually been waiting for this exact “feature!” Below is the full change log.

Remember, LockInfo can be used in conjunction with Cydget and is available via the modmyi source.

1.1.8 Change log:
– Fixed an issue where preference updates were not being picker up in a timely fashion.
– LockInfo will not restart your dim timer when you touch the screen. This we using LockInfo from going blank when you are using LockInfo.

Overboard – View SpringBoard Pages Exposé style

Available In: Cydia       Price: $1.99  

##ICON_NAME## Overboard, a mod that allows you to view your SpringBoard pages Exposé style, was recently released in Cydia. If you are thinking that this app looks familiar… it’s because it does. Overboard is very similar to Orbit, by Steven Troughton-Smith, which was released last month.

However, Overboard does provide a bit more functionality. It allows the user to choose the launch method for the Exposé view (Home Button, SpringBoard Icon or SpringBoard Pinch), it allows the user to choose the number of columns displayed, it supports WinterBoard themes, it allows you to search for an app while in Exposé view and allows you to turn on/off the Dock while in the Exposé view. Overboard also seems to perform better than Orbit.

You can pick up Overboard for $1.99 via the modmyi source.

Cydgets – Time, Weather, Flashlight… [Updated]

Available In: Cydia       Price: Free  

##ICON_NAME## Last week I wrote about Cydget, a “framework for managing lock screen plugins.” Over the week-end there were a few Cydgets (like Widgets for Cydget) released that are pretty decent.

The first is HTC Hero Cydget. This Cydget includes the current Time, Temperature and Weather Conditions. Once you have installed the Cydget, you will need to go into the stock Settings application under Cydget and activate it. I did find that this particular Cydget does not display immediately on the lock screen, there is a slight delay. (strike)Though, it does know your current time and weather info without having to edit a .plist which is nice. (/strike) [Read more…]
