Sakurina's iPhone Hacks

Over the last year, I've been tinkering with the iPhone. Occasionally, I release stuff.

News

• Dec 14: Iconoclasm is on the way! Stay tuned!

Iconoclasm

Iconoclasm is a tweak that lets you break the barriers of what you can do with your icons. Previously, you had to deal with multiple extensions that didn't necessarily play nice with each other, or use blank web clips. Not anymore.

You can define as many rows or columns you want. You can even break free from rows and columns, and simply have icons placed freely on your home screen. It's all up to you.

• Download link will be posted as soon as it is up! (Hopefully soon.)
• More Info page, the same one you'll be able to see from within Cydia once this is released.
• Follow Iconoclasm on Twitter
• Become a fan of Iconoclasm on Facebook
• Watch an early video of Iconoclasm in action.

Papilio

Papilio is a reimplementation of Bowtie's public APIs for the iPhone OS, powered by Cycript.

Bowtie, as you probably know, is an iTunes controller for OS X that can be themed. Those themes are called Bowlets, and are composed of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Bowtie exposes some functionality to JavaScript; those are the Bowtie APIs.

The Bowtie APIs are tied to iTunes, and are closed-source, so anyone wanting to create something similar to Bowtie would have to reinvent the wheel.

So why reinvent the wheel? People already know how to create Bowlets, so why not expose the same functionality as Bowtie does in the same way? That is what Papilio does.

Papilio can be embedded into Cydgets to give them music controls or information on the currently playing track. It can also be used to convert existing Bowlets into Cydgets with minimal effort, or to use the familiar Bowtie APIs in any other Cycript projects.

• Enter the Papilio microsite.
• Download the compiled script file.
• Read the uncompiled source code.

Five-Column SpringBoard

Five-Column SpringBoard is a MobileSubstrate extension that adds a fifth column to your iPhone's home screen. It looks especially nice with nano-sized icon themes, like Pump 2, Matte Nano, or Abeo. Requires firmware 3.0 or later to install.

• Download Five-Column SpringBoard 0.59 from the Ste Packaging repository on Cydia. (iPhone-only link)
• Discussion on MacThemes
• More Info page, also accessible through Cydia.

Currently Working On

• An iPhone client for Solid State Squad, a Beatmania IIDX score tracker.
• An iPhone application for STTR public transit timetables.

On Hiatus

• Frostbite: An extension I wrote to customize the lock screen battery has been getting lots of attention recently. I have higher priority projects to work on, but I do eventually want to get back to it sometime in January. Meanwhile, you can get the beta from last March.

No Longer Maintained

• wigglefree: A tiny extension that does nothing but remove the wiggle animation when you hold an icon done to reorganize your icons. Open-sourced, so if anyone wants to mod it feel free.
• SpringRoll: SpringBoard theme utility for iPhone OS 1.1.5 to 2.0.1. A temporary, buggy solution. Use WinterBoard.
