Mr. Fix It posted:FolderEnhancer. It rules. I prefer More Icon Folder. FolderEnhancer doesn't significantly increase folder opening time (even with icon caching) and, while supporting Iconoclasm, limits me with how I can adjust my icon layout. MIF let's me bunch my Apps 8-across which I like in portrait-mode. My ultimate goal is a solution wherein label-less icons are tiled to fill a scrollable area above the (transparent and label-less) dock area (I have a lot of Apps!), with negligible separation between icons and icon rows.

Mr. Fix It posted:I think you meant "FolderEnhancer doesn't significantly decrease folder opening time", and in my experience it opens folders a lot faster. This is on my iPhone and anecdotal evidence, though, so ymmv. Yeah, that's what I meant. Which iPhone are you using? I have a 3GS and FolderEnhancer helps it somewhat. The difference it makes on my iPad 1 is closer to negligible. I hope the iPhone 5/iPad 3 and subsequent JBs will alleviate the slowness.

Richman777 posted:Also, it is almost a 100% guarantee that there will NOT be an iPad 2 jailbreak released BEFORE iOS5 comes out. Now that they have a general release date for iOS5, why would they waste a userland kernel exploit when they could possibly wait. It's like Adobe with Photoshop. Sure, they'd love for everyone to buy legit licenses, but faced with the choice of hordes of amateurs potentially spending years of self-training with the software before working for legitimate concerns versus no longer being the industry standard via pure inertia, the smart move is to say you are anti-piracy, cover your rear end with the shareholders, and make token, theatrical gestures to stop illicit software use. The Apple situation is different for several reasons, but it is like Adobe in that, when taken as a whole, feigning indignation and not putting an active effort into securing their platform (at the hobbyist-level) is more of a benefit than it is a liability. quote:Plus...my first gen iPad is jailbroken...you're not missing much.

AlphaDog posted:Now, apart from sbSettings (which is pretty nice), I really can't figure out what to do with the jailbroken phone. Activator let's me put my device in my chest or shoulder pocket and listen to podcasts, Howard Stern, what-have-you via built in speaker. If a supervisor pops up at the worksite or I pass too close to a likely hard-rear end walking around post I can kill the audio with a quick pinch through the uniform (I personally set 'press both volume buttons' to trigger 'toggle play/pause' from any app on the device). This is actually better than headphones for me (for vocal stuff, not so much music) because I'm not oblivious to what's going on around me and mutually-interested parties can enjoy the content (please don't call the FBI on me for public-performance violations). Jailbreaking--specifically Activator--makes this possible, and is the reason I don't upgrade to new iOS versions before they are JBed.

I did not intend to imply that this might be a full-time thing, but more like a "Why climb Mt. Everest" sort of thing. It appeals to people suffering from that First-World Problem called boredom. I have a second phone lying around so I thought it might be worth checking out. Given the likelihood of having an experience like those such keykey, I probably won't bother. But it seems like a neat idea, if not a practical one, and might be worthy of poking around with it for an hour or two. If it even worked, that is.

Binary Badger posted:. I've gotta ask as I'm not too hip, but why disable location services? Is it a Touch thing, battery issue, or just a good idea?

I believe Javid added a couple pages ago to make sure you're taking off the case if you have one on the phone. You didn't comment, but I assume you didn't have a case on seeing as how you are switching SIM cards and all. I've got a 3GS but no necessary equipment to get down on the JB at present, so I can feel your pain. I know it's frustrating, but you'll get it, or maybe ask someone else to try, at least you'll get a break from the unintuitive gadget fatigue. If they get it then the relief of moving on will be welcomed or if they don't then you'll get some shared catharsis. Edit:vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Ah, that makes sense.

Once again I'd like to big-up my favorite and most-used JB app, NoLockScreen. On my iPhone 3GS I use Infinidock & FolderEnhancer to keep my icons out of the way and my home-screen becomes my info screen via LockInfo. It all comes together to strip and leave one less layer of UI. Two questions: 1) Is there a JB or non-JB way to use a controller with an iPad (1 or 2), either via Bluetooth (PS Dual Shock 3) or USB (via camera kit)? 2) I love using Overboard as my home-screen on my iPad 2, but as far as I can tell it isn't possible to launch apps directly from the zoomed out view. Instead you are actually tapping an "invisible" folder, and from there you have to tap the app again to launch. Is there any way I can get the "zoomed-out" mini-icon home-screen but still be able to launch apps with one tap? Thanks.

Damo posted:Other than that I can't see a way it can hurt your battery life. The effect on battery life might be negligible, but I think intrinsic to the process. Of course this could be tested and obviated by including a x0.0 setting, eliminating animations altogether. In theory this should also increase battery life.

Hey I'm sure I'm probably wrong, I just remember reading something to the effect that one difference between LCD and CRT screens is that CRTs have to refresh every pixel on every redraw, and LCDs don't have to switch a pixel that doesn't need to be changed. It's probably an oversimplification or just faulty memory on my part. Just trying to contribute to the conversation is all.

mewse posted:Making poo poo up doesn't make your argument sound frumpsnake posted:The argument that drawing the animation "faster" can *significantly* decrease battery life Whoa slow down there. Even a cursory read of what I actually wrote would tell you that I specifically used the word "negligible" and prefaced the statement as an exercise in pedantry. If it is as you say that there is a "cost" in changing pixels then I have been vindicated, as technically there is no way that speeding up those animations isn't detrimental to power usage, even if battery life only drops a single unit of Planck time.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is it hypothetically illegal to intentionally dial 112 only to hang up like it is with 911? Not that you could really pin it on the end-user, but selling a product that requires calling and disconnecting from emergency services sounds legally dangerous for the company, I'd assume. -- From how I understand it "push" just means the the mail service actively sends your device the notice that a new message arrived along with the data. This necessitates your device being constantly on the lookout for these notices, and vigilance costs battery life (unless I'm totally misunderstanding the process and talking out my rear end).

I'm an ignorant fool who doesn't understand the mechanics of jailbreaking at all, but is there something preventing taking a full 1s and 0s extraction of a JBed device and transferring that to another unJBed device of the same firmware which is past its window for approval to bypass the whole mess of the JB process? Does JBing involve modifying firmware or storage in some way that can't be circumvented by a straight transfer of data? Some kind of device signature involved which mucks it all up?

Blimpkin posted:Is there a way to sync a PS3 controller? Even if there was I can't imagine anything would work with one due to the lack of an appropriate API in currently existing software. I suppose JB programs like emulators could incorporate something like this, and I hope someone gets around to making it work, but at present I doubt you could meaningfully control anything with one at the moment. Maybe button taps, but the d-pad and sticks would probably be unmappable to any sort of directional inputs.

Dr. Video Games 0050 posted:I'd love to see a pic of your window setup because I feel shafted on one hand for paying cash for it, but at the same time this is a crazy addition to the iPad so kudos to the creator and funding ideas like that are never a bad idea in my book. While I think Apple's way is good enough, splitting it somewhat like how Metro does it on Windows 8 would be kinda cool for certain tasks. Unfortunately with its 4:3 screen perfect splitting doesn't work on an iPad. A perfect split would require a screen with dimensions fitting a ratio of 2^(1/2):1 (not taking into account the status bar). It would be pretty sweet if future designs took this into account. A tablet with perfect splitting would be cool as hell.

bobfather posted:Multitasking in iOS 7 is radically different than iOS 4-6, from the look and feel, to the way that apps are closed, down to the behavior of opening onto the last app you had open. When I first installed iOS 7 I had to search the internet to find out how to force close an app, since pressing and holding the icon no longer let me do it. They could have changed the gesture to open the multitasking tray easily, given that they changed literally everything else but that. I liked using Zephyr to initiate app switching the same way Control Center works now. I wish they would just either combine CC with the app switcher via swipe-up from bottom behavior or combine CC with Notification Center via swipe-down from top behavior (especially since I never use NC itself now that NCSettings has been obviated by the introduction of CC), but I can't see them making that big of a change so quickly after releasing iOS 7. Maybe in 8? I really just prefer not ever having to press the home button if possible.
