My last step... rearranging my icons!!! help

[dragonguy83]

hey guys, im almost done hacking this thing. all i need is to rearrange my icons some. i have heard something about summerboard but that is all i know. please help me finish. thanks guys

[nirvana06]

this is something i want to do too...is there a 3rd party application that does that?

[i0Nic]

Bump... also how do you flick through your summerboard rather than go to the next page? And how do you change your icons.

[jepaz]

Rearranging the icons...it's somewhere in this forum, just search it.

Get SummerBoard here.

[bliks]

summerboard doesnt let you rearrange. to do that you need the customize app... which doesnt work on the touch....(yet!)

[jepaz]

There is SummerBoard 1.1.1 available now at the link I provided, working for both iPhone & touch. About rearranging the apps under SummerBoard...that I don't know yet.

This is like top secret , nobody wants to tell.

I FOUND THE THREAD IT IS

[beg_ne]

Here's how you rearrange the apps:

1. Download a plist editor if you dont have one, http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17002/pref-setter

Pref-setter is freeware and works great.

2. Use Cyberduck to download the N45AP.plist via SSH. Its in the System->Library->SpringBoard.app directory

3. Make a backup of said plist file just incase

4. Go through your Applications directory, and in the app bundle should be an info.plist. Find the CFBundleIdentifier in it using pref setter and note it down somewhere exactly as shown.

5. Once you have your list complete open the N45AP.plist in pref setter and under displayOrder->iconList add the necessary Item # dictionaries, then add a key under each item number using the names you got from the info.plist's, just follow the preexisting items to see what you need to do.

6. Upload, restart and enjoy the new icon order...I know I did!

Anyone know how to put fewer than 12 or 16 apps on the front page? I'd like to have 6 or so on the front page, then the rest on page 2.

I'm about to start hacking at that plist file, but I'm open to suggestions.


Thanks.

i'm tinkering with the plist file now.

I don't understand step 5, can you please describe it in more detail?

Did you get that to work? I only have 2 extra apps installed, but I want to put all my settings Apps on the second page...

No, I ultimately gave up.

when i rearranged my icons i noticed that the add event option in my cal was gone. so i uninstalled it and reinstalled it off of installer.app and it arranged my icons back to default. anyone know a way to fix it

[DocVT]

1. Use Cyberduck to go to: system/library/coreservices/springboard.app

2. Download this file: N45AP.plist (make a backup copy of this file, just in case). My plist did not include all the apps that I had installed, but I went ahead with the following steps

3. Use TextWrangler to edit this file (choose to view all files). You will see code like this that you can copy and paste into your desired order:

code:
<dict>
<key>displayIdentifier</key>
<string>com.google.code.apolloim</string>
</dict>

4. (I got the following from another post) To get the full identifier name, open the info.plist file which can be found inside each application's .app file. In the plist file, you'll find an entry called "CFBundleIdentifier", copy the string identifier and place it in your N45AP.plist file. Here are some:

Apollo: com.google.code.apolloim
Books: com.zacharybrewstergeisz.books
Colloquy: com.googlecode.mcolloquy
Finder: com.googlecode.MobileFinder
Installer: com.nullriver.iphone.Installer
iSplit: com.kroo.iSplit
Sketches: com.latenitesoft.Sketches
Stocks: com.apple.stocks
Terminal: com.googlecode.mobileterminal.Terminal
Weather: com.apple.weather

5. See my enclosed N45AP file - copy and pasted desired code into your plist

6. Save the modified file as: N45AP.plist

7. Copy into the Springboard folder - drag and drop using Cyberduck
