My home button has been dying, and my upgrade isn't until April. I do not want to jailbreak my phone (and install activator) because the current jailbreak is tethered and iBooks does not work.
With App Switcher I can access some cool stuff, but I would like a shortcut to the homescreen.. but I don't know if that's possible.
I have seen the home screen shortcuts (http://www.redmondpie.com/bring-sbs...our-iphone-home-screen-no-jailbreak-required/) that lets you make shortcuts to your settings. Has anyone figured out how to make a shortcuts to things that AREN'T settings? (This is useful because even without the home button, I can get to Safari from the notification center. Then I could use bookmarks to get to my other apps, or the home screen 🙂
Let me know if you have any answers or suggestions!
Update:
You can use iPhone URL schemes to access a lot of apps. Here are two great websites for URL schemes:

Update 2:
An untethered jailbreak was released for the iPhone 4. I believe iBooks still does not work while jailbroken.
