Happy Monday!! It seems there have been a few apps added to Cydia over the week-end but, lets start with Stack. We have know for a little while now that the developer of Stack was getting close to a release and it seems it has finally arrived!

Stack is an application that will stack applications on the lower right of your iPhone screen. When you tap the stack, it will display the apps (think Leopard). You can then select the Settings icon (when the stack is out) and it will give you a few options. The Settings option includes the ability to turn on a curved stack or grid stack (see screenshots below). I actually really like the grid option but, I had an issue with getting into the Settings while using the grid option. I don’t know if you experienced they same thing or not, but it was basically impossible to get back into the Settings!! I was able to get into the Settings by removing a few of the icons from my Dock.

Stack comes stock with the Contacts, Weather and Settings apps. You can add more applications to the stack my just dragging them onto the stack. If you have more than five apps in the stack, it will automatically use grid mode. To remove an app from the stack, just drag it off. The only thing that I found to be an issue is that in order to have Stack work absolutely perfectly, you will want only two icons in your Dock. You can have three or four but three will make it overlap slightly and four will put an icon behind Stack which makes it difficult to launch that application. Also, when you add an application to Stack it does not remove that app from your SpringBoard so, you will want to use Poof to hide that app on your SpringBoard. Overall, the app is super easy to use and works great! I had no issues with glitching, adding, removing and launching an app using Stack.

Note: Doug discovered that if you would like three icons in your Dock and have Stack line-up correctly, you can add a blank icon as your forth icon in your Dock. It looks a lot nicer and allows for three icons in the Dock instead of just two. You can download blank icons via Cydia. The title of the package is Blank 1 (there are more if you would like more than once blank icon). You can get them through the Steffwiz source.

As of now, there are two options for application launching apps via Cydia; gLauncher and Launcher. Both are very simple applications.

gLauncher, when selected, will open to an alphabetical list of all the applications you have installed on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It will display the application icon, the title of the application and plist info for that app. When you tap on an application, it will automatically open that application.

Launcher is basically the same application it just looks a little different. When you open Launcher you still get an alphabetical list of all the apps you have installed on your iPhone or iPod Touch however, they are broken up into letter categories. Each letter category is separated by a letter header. This application displays the application icon and title. When you select an app, it will open automatically into that application.

I did not have any problems with either application, they both worked fine. I personally don’t use app launching application but, I know that quite a few of you do! So, at least there are a few options for you. Both are available through Cydia and the BigBoss source.
