    Question Reassign Home Button - SBSsettings

    Hi all, running 2.2.1 and looking for a SBSettings way of reassigning the double tap on Home button? Does anyone know of anything?

    I tried running appflow, but it just shows the launch screen and doesn't work past that.. so that is not an option...

    Any other solutions, other than manually editing the plist?

    You can modify /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist. Look for the part where it says <key>SBDoubleTapURL</key>. Right under that, you must enter the identifier of the application you want to start, like this:
    <string>doubletap://identifier</string>
    You can find the identifier in the application's folder in the file Info.plist. It looks like com.apple.mobilephone (the reverse of an internet domain name).

    It may be necessary to turn the phone completely off and on again after the change.

    For editing plist files, see my signature.
    Windows tool to edit .plist, .strings and .nib files: pledit.
    Or use a website that will convert the binary form to a readable format.
    On iPhone you can convert those files in a terminal with plutil (installed with Erica Utilities from Cydia), or edit them with iFile (from Cydia).

    The easiest way to edit your double-click home button feature is to download Supreme Preferences from Cydia.

    Once downloaded, activate it in WInterboard. After the respring, go to Settings > General > Home Button...

    From here you can select any app that you have installed on your iPhone (including SBSettings and MCleaner for the above two posts) or use any web address... it is very easy and there is no SSH-ing required

    ^^^you may have to ssh to find the bundle identifier to assign it though.

    I'm hoping to find a non-winterboard way of doing it, as I don't run winterboard..

    See post #3 above. It's easier than it looks.

    why the hell dont you use winterboard?

    it does not slow anything down (noticeably)... quickgold, sbsettings,backgrounder and such do

    appflow only works on 2.1 and below.. unfortunately

    supreme prefs is the easiest way as of now

    Winterboard DOES eat up a lot of resources. I stopped using it and will never go back unless the next iPhone has the same processor as that beastly iPod touch 2G.

    It´s Works, but when use Poof (for hide the icon of mcleaner) Not works
    But if i put in double tap of the program bosspreff (in the option put doubletapping), and hide the icon of bosspref, bosspref work perfect hide in double tap ..
