SBSettings 3.0 is working well. I plan to release it soon since most the new features are also working on 2.0. I am not yet done but here is the current changelog: * v3.0 DYLIB: Modified for all the changes required to work on 3.0 (with proper patched jailbreak, not working with public jailbreak on 3.0). * DYLIB: Added status bar date. This will put the date in your statusbar right by your clock. This defaults off and you must enable it in the more app. See screenshot of statusbar with this enabled:  * DYLIB: Massively reworked WiFi toggle since it didn’t work on 3.0. It toggles very quickly now. * DYLIB: Massively reworked phone toggle (airplane) since it didnt work on 3.0. Phone toggle is also instant. * DYLIB: Added a single tap status bar to close the SBSettings window in 3.0 only. This is because home button brings up the search and there was some interference (enough that I felt annoyed). So you can swipe to open the window, tap to close. * Both: Added ability to move toggle order around. * More app: Added mobile substrate extensions manager. You can now troubleshoot a poorly performing device by disabling and enabling various installed mobile substrate extensions. (Requires respring after toggling). * More app: Added numeric wifi, numeric GMS (phone) to extras menu. (Note: the 3.0 version of numeric battery looks different. Remember this is just enabled by SBSettings. It’s a feature of springboard). * More app: Added statusbar date toggle button in extras menu to enable or disable statusbar date. * Revved version to 3.0 since this version works with iPhone OS 3.0. It should work with 2.0-3.0. * Reworked how root requiring toggles work. As such, we can now system out to processes as root. This enables Safari download and other toggles! (Expect them soon). |

Edit: I packed this up and released it as v2.99. There are a couple more things I plan before 3.0 comes out, but this will get some good testing in. A couple notes, the install process should work, but if you have any weird problems, like respring just hangs with the respring screen up, reboot the iPhone and then send me email letting me know this happened. I am trying to avoid a reboot on install and want to make sure it’s working for the masses. Also, remember you must enable the status bar features in the more app! Note: themes like leopard U/I that put javascript web content directly over the statusbar will prevent statusbar date and memory from showing up. So I have still been working on SBSettings for 3.0 (and update for 2.x). In addition to the features listed in my previous post I have added: * You can now have more than 12 toggles. (On the 3.0 OS). When you have > 12 toggles it will let you scroll like categories app or such. * There is now an option to put the free memory in the statusbar. See: * You can now select from several options to customize the behaviors of SBSettings: o Enable or disable the U/I from lock screen o Enable or disable the U/I during calls (for those of you that kept having the U/I activate on your cheek). o Enable or disable the date in status bar. o Enable or disable the memory free in status bar. o Enable or disable numeric battery, wifi, or GSM (phone strength). * Revamped the U/I on the more - extras screen. * Internally, I have made the toggles SDK more extensible enabling direct access to system() calls within the toggles. I expect another small flood of new toggles like safari download, samba, or syslog toggles. These tasks were impossibly difficult on 1.x sbsettings and are now trivially simple. Known Issues - Please READ THIS before you comment: 1) If your respring, SSH, or EDGE doesn’t work, you are one of the unlucky 3100 to get my bad pack. Reboot the iPhone and you should be ok. 2) If you hold wifi for more than 1 second to try to invoke the hold action, springboard will crash. I had debugging stuff in there that I forgot to remove. None of the toggles support invoke hold action yet anyway so there is no need to hold them. 3) If you saw fastnotes, location services, or processes uninstall on the update this is normal. They are now included in the core sbsettings. 4) I already know that there is some misaligned text on 2.0 mobile substrate screen. The font on 3.0 and 2.0 are sized differently by defaults. Will fix in next version. 5) If you are on 3.0 this will not work for you. Do not report that the more app crashes. It’s not a problem with sbsettings. It’s in your jailbreak. To properly make it work on 3.0 beta, you require a private, not yet released kernel patch and to fix your crashing on loading the more app, you need to install the package that includes dirname. (It will be installed on a real 3.0 release build). Look for one of the *-cmds packages like “adv-cmds”, “file-cmds”, “shell-cmds” or just install all 3. |

I released SBSettings 2.99-2. Here are the changes. Those of you that were having wifi issues should go get it since I reverted the iPhone OS 2 wifi toggle back to its previous code base. Changes: (Note: this is a v3.0 release candidate). * v2.99-2 More App: Fixed issue with text box on 2.x mobile substrate screen. * Both: Option switch in more app and support for 24 hour time display (by request). * Both: Option switch in more app and support for toggling between / and . for date separator (by request). * DYLIB: Moved Wifi toggle code back to 1.x version method for 2.x iPhones. I couldn’t reproduce any wifi toggle errors, but now it’s back to how it used to be anyway. The new code is only used on 3.0. * DYLIB: Added a little indicator to the bottom right of each icon that supports hold action. (Themers, this icon is themable. Just add a Hold.png in your theme. It should be 19×19. If your icon is missing, the one out of Default theme is used). * DYLIB: Added a quick popup to wifi toggle on the hold action to indicate on which access point you are connected. (Sorry, but figuring out how to select access points will require a lot more research. Remember none of this stuff is documented by Apple.) * DYLIB: Updated processes toggle to not close the toggle each time you kill an app with it. * DYLIB: Fixed springboard crash when holding wifi toggle for 1 second on 2.x. * DYLIB: Prevent fast respring if iPhone is locked. Periodically, people post news and videos that you can get to icons and bypass the security lock. This feature is disabled by default and I only added it because users wanted it. So it is an option that you have to enable in the settings. I don’t consider this a security issue since you have to actually enable the feature. In either case, I patched the respring bypass to allow my email inbox to quiet down. |

The biggest challenge was to keep the speed (app launch time, overall GUI responsiveness) the same as before while giving the flexibility to the theme makers. I believe we have achieved that perfectly.
So, in order to change the Icy appearance, include the file named IcyThemeDefiniton.plist in the theme bundle. Icy will automatically see it and use the definitions from there. |

Developers have found new header files in a directory labeled "compass" under iPhone OS 3.0 beta 5. These files point to Japanese company Asahi Kaseis azimuth sensor No. AK8973. The reference describes a chip otherwise known as a digital compass, or a magnetometer, that comes bundled with a master clock oscillator. The confirmation of this additional hardware on the next-generation iPhone is exciting, to say the least. Applications that would take advantage of an azimuth sensor have only begun to develop and make a multitude of new functionality possible. One of the new buzzwords is "augmented reality" and this is impressive to see working in practice. Essentially, since the iPhone always knows its exact position in space, it can overlay data and graphics over live video. Think about what the Terminator might see when it looks around the room. Objects are recognized, buildings are identified, threats to the mission are... well, you get the idea. One more realistic application would be to overlay constellations on a live view of the sky. The azimuth sensor would make turn-by-turn GPS more accurate, as well as confirm the orientation of the iPhone in three dimensions. The Android G1 has already demonstrated this functionality. By simply turning the device its possible to browse Google Street View. The Asahi Kasei azimuth sensor is a 16-pin leadless IC package measuring 4mm square and 0.7mm thick. One of the company's specialties is manufacturing liquid submersion indicators. |

According to the alleged leak, iPhone model MB717LL 9 ("iPhone2,1" perhaps?) will have a 600MHz processor (up from the current 400MHz unit), 256MB of RAM (from the current 128MB), 32GB of storage, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, as well as a digital compass and FM radio, all while retaining the same battery, basic shape, and screen size. Do we believe it? Well, if we were to conservatively guess at specs for a next-gen Apple phone that's pretty much what we'd come up with -- with the exception of FM -- so we're not shaking our heads too hard. Plus we've definitely seen evidence that a compass will figure into the equation, and there's endless whispers that the camera will see an upgrade. Still, only Steve and the gang know for sure, and we're (probably) not finding out till they're ready -- WWDC, are you here yet? |
