I did the restore because I couldn't disable the app, I couldn't get my fat fingers to be able to disable it. (the screen was too small) So, I did the restore/re-jailbreak and now I'm going through the process of figuring out all my settings again, I'm so pissed.
I'd avoid it for now until someone smarter than me figures out what happened.

That sucks, this app has a lot of promise but I'm wondering if there's an issue with 4.2.6 that's causing it. If someone's having issues with a non-CDMA phone please post, let's narrow down the cause to help the Dev get it straightened out.
BTW, it worked perfectly until I rebooted the phone. I restarted the Springboard several times without an issue, it was only when I actually turned the phone off then back on again that I found this out.
Bug
I think I isolated it to the HDR setting under capabilities. Also, if you're locked in the mini screen, use sbssettings. The power button in the lower corner will give you a safe mode option. In safe mode, simply remove springtomize. Then reinstall it. Once reinstalled, turn off capabilities before you reboot and things should work.

Wish I had known that about 4 hours ago! Thanks for posting, it'll help someone out in the future.

It was in my post. 🙂
"I changed my slider settings while I still had iPhone 4 Tap turned on and had to use SBSettings to go to SafeMode and then turn off iPhone 4 Tap so I could open the lockscreen (my own fault)."

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of Springtomize. Thanks for all the kind words and for reporting bugs. I've made a FAQ/HOW-TO writeup, and most of the problems are explained there: http://pastie.org/1665784
Feel free to reply with suggestions or bugs report 🙂

I don't know if it was the transparency of icons, or the resizing them, but the only thing I could get to open was the phone part.
Luckily, I used SBSettings to get into safe mode and uninstall.
Going to the Dev's page now.
I'm not really happy. I spent a while disabling and uninstalling other tweaks before I got into this.
Guess I'll try the stuff one at a time until i figure it out
Great app! I have a couple of suggestions:
1) Is there anyway you can change the spacing between the columns for the "Dock" and maybe "Icons" too when I elect to chose 5 icons in a row to copy "Five Icon Dock" spacing? Currently, you don't leave any spacing and bunches the icons together. Hopefully, it's possible and then I can uninstall Five Icon Dock.
2) Can you add an option to simulate "Gridlock" tweak that allows you to arrange your icons however you like?

Glad you came in and told us you're working on it, it's really appreciated. I'm curious to know what was causing the 1/4 app screen issue though.
SpringBoard wasn't able to read correct capabilities when Springtomize was loaded into other apps.
1) I'm doing this 🙂
2) Actually I did this but it needs too much work to save the icon layout correctly (the icons were compacted together after respring).
Great Application!
I did happen to find one bug:
Custom Status Bar Color is actually not custom, but actually an overlap. When i used a transparent as it's color, i had a dark gray banner still there, when i used white, i had a gray banner still there, however, when using it with WinterBoard's Transparent Status Bar for 4.2.1, the true colors were finally revealed.
I also happen to noticed the springboard was a little rough on it's animations rather between springboard pages, but i think that was listed under known bugs as "laggy" - but wasn't sure.
Great Application however, everything else worked super smooth and was able to remove a couple of other applications to free some memory. Thanks

This app screwed up my phone and I'm going to have to restore and jailbreak again i think, I used the TV out on lockscreen thing where if I lock my phone it'll show the tv turning off type of thing... now when I press the sleep button it shows a white line going accross my screen. I cannot turn my phone off. Double pressed home button, the slide to unlock thing isn't showing and does not work...
I've synced it to my pc and I still have a white line going accross my screen and everything else is black.. iTunes reads it just fine I have no idea what to do now. I'm extremely annoyed now!!!
EDIT:
I have an iPhone 4 running 4.1

You only need to reboot keeping home+sleep until it turns off and then on again. This is fixed in the next update.
Haha thanks for that, your a life saver. Sorry I got worked up for a moment there. Other than that small glitch for me the rest worked fine.
Now I'm a happy customer. Cheers for the fast response also! =]
+1 had the same problem but i just rebooted (home + sleep) and it worked again. glad it's getting fixed in the next update.
Since we're on this topic, is it possible to add the sound of a TV shutting down like "SleepFX"? Also, maybe an option with this same animation but in reverse when you wake up the phone?

Is it just me, but my wallpaper is being shown when plugged in to charge, even though "WP while charging" is turned off, and is the same when turned on 😕
Other than that, it's great! 😀
Ahh, also "Syncing to iTunes" message is overlaping with the time on the lockscreen :s

Request
@FlippoBiga
First, I want to thank you for all of your hard work and an app that does so much. After reading all of the current posts in this thread and removing apps that are duplicated by your super app...I have come to the conclusion that users need one of two things: A new thread started that lists those apps that this duplicates and/or conflicts with in the first post so that users can start there and we can refer them there OR in your FAQ in your blog, have a reference that users can refer to for removal of apps that this duplicates and a section that lists conflicts.
The biggest reason for this request is so that users can easily remove apps without posting over and over again...Does this replace this???....Second, it will save posts about crashes and conflicts if there is already a list out there that says...Remove "this" before activating "this".
I believe that by creating a new post here and/or in your blog, that it will save you many hours of headaches, repeat posts, and allow you to focus more on bug fixes and additions to this outstanding app.
Super work my friend, I look forward to future updates and functions!!!
Have successfully replaced/removed (will update my list as I test):
1) Shrink (Springtomize shrinks ALL icons...including dock and inside folders but NOT folders, there is no seperation between the dock and springboard icons.)
2) iPhone 4 No Page Dots
3) Transparent Status Bar for IOS 4 (Springtomize does have transparent setting but needs to be "more" transparent...currently not transparent enough)
4) No Spotlight Icon
5) CleanStatus (Springtomize currently replaces ALL functions that "I" was using in CleanStatus...Others may use additional functions that I do not, so cannot validate it as a complete substitute for all users.
6) Five Icon Dock (As previously mentioned...spacing is not correct and is already being fixed in next update. Shrinking does not help spacing)
7) FolderEnhancer (You do loose some functionality with Springtomize. You can choose up to 10 apps per row but gridlock function does not work inside folder, all icons move up and right; You cannot put folder in folder)
8) BackBoard
9) Make It Mine (If you have installed, will cause continuous springboard crash)
10) Iconoclasm (No longer needed with current updated version, spacing has been fixed)
11) 20 Second Lockscreen (No longer needed with current updated version)
BUGS:
1) When deactivating FolderEnhancer and activating the Springtomize Folder functions...you will have to open close folders twice to display apps inside. For some reason, your springboard image will show all 7 (example) apps but when you open the first time, only 3 or 4 will show. Close the folder, then reopen and all will be displayed. Also cannot close folder by tapping inside folder, must tap folder icon or outside on screen.
2) The slider bar is very very very sensitive on resizing icons...recommend % option. Nothing happens if you move slider from all the way right (100%) to left edge of "ON/OFF" button (approx. 75%) then moving left just a little more causes drastic size change just between th 50% and 75% approx locations.
3) Because resizing affects all app icons...springboard, inside folders, and on dock...if you have size above 65% (approx) then icons will show outside of folders. Folders DO NOT resize.

Fixing both.
Thank you! I'm considering to start a blog where I can post all these, like FAQ / how to / etc. I'm just a little bit busy today ^_^
Ok, I'll try. If you want you can send me a sound you like that I can implement?
Hey FilippoBiga great app. Im running this on my iPad and VZ iPhone and both are working great for me. Keep up the good work!!!!
moved the FAQ / troubleshooting post to tumblr: http://filippobiga.tumblr.com/
In that way I can edit it easily and keep everyone updated!

Just sent an email to you with the TV tube sound file.
Wish all devs were so attentive to their users like you. Keep up the great work!
