Restart/Respring apps available in Cydia

Available In: Cydia

Price: Free

A good restart/respring application is a necessity on any iPhone or iPod Touch (at least if you are doing any sort of customizing or SSHing). So, I thought I would run through the options that are currently available on 2.0 via Cydia. As of now, there are four application that allow you to restart/respring your iPhone; iReboot, PowerTool, Respring and BossPrefs. All of these apps are pretty much the same if not exactly the same as they were in 1.1.4 and below…they have just been ported to the 2.0 firmware.

iReboot gives you the option to Reboot your iPhone which brings you all the way out to the boot logo screen or the option to Restart your iPhone which will bring you to the lock screen.

iReboot, PowerManager, Restart, Lock, Shutdown, Repring….what is the difference?

June 18, 2008 by Brooke

There have been quite a few apps released lately that Restart, Lock, Respring and Shutdown your iPhone. So, I thought I would run through some of the differences between them. It can get a little confusing so make sure you read carefully.

Restart Restart/Killboard/Respring/Lock – These applications are one-touch solutions to restarting your SpringBoard. Just tap the application and they will restart your SpringBoard, bringing it to the lockscreen.

Shutdown RespringBB – A one-touch solution to respring your SpringBoard without bringing it to the lock screen. Just tap the application and it will use the Set Language mode to respring your SpringBoard without going to the lock screen.

Shutdown – A one-touch solution to turning your iPhone completely off. Just tap the application and it will turn off your iPhone. This would be the same as holding down your power button.

Respring 1.0

March 28, 2008 by Brooke

Respring is similar to KillBoard, Restart and the other Respring…it restarts your SpringBoard with one tap. The cool thing about this one though, is that on firmware 1.1.3 and higher it will restart your SpringBoard without locking it! Though, it works to restart your SpringBoard on any firmware. This Respring (which I am calling RespringBB on our site) is available through the BigBoss source.

Note: You can only have one of the apps titled Respring Installed because they will write over the top of each other.
