More good stuff coming every day!

But I got foldersinfolders and it crashed my phone and locked some of my apps on my SB. Good idea, but I deleted it. Guess I'll wait for an update.

And why is it that a lot more ppl are charging for their apps? Used to, almost all of them were free. But now all the good stuff has a price. I'm not complaining, just an observation. I'm always willing to pay for a good app!

Who would pay .99 to set a home page?

[Nyra98]

LSRotator looks pretty cool

[Safari]

So..incase anyone is wondering..invisible slide to unlock and LS Rotator..not compatible. I think I may be locked out now haha..

[kuhndsn]

I keep hearing no more Rock, yet I just received two new updates today. All that good new stuff in cydia yet still a bad URL for MMI...(annoying as all heck). I am a huge cydia fan but I have to admit I love Rocks layout. It's much easier to navigate. It's just as nice as the app store.

[Aliquippakid]

Extremely disappointed. Not cause the apps are bad just cause I just saw them all ten mins ago while looking through cydia. Just wasn't as exciting cause I found them all myself. O well enjoy

I think u can double tap your lockscreen to rotate. Or ssh or whatever u use to explore your device and run an uninstall command for LS or go to stash, themes, delete the invisible unlock and restart.

[efi2nr]

Don't buy FoldersInFolders!!!! It has locked apps on two of our phones. Even uninstalling it doesn't fix it. And yes we did pay the $2 each for it. I have emailed the dev twice with no response.

I got back in, passcode was on I just needed to respiring to automatically bring up the passcode keypad.

Had a similar problem but with my custom slider. If u have sbsetting just open that from the lock screen and hit respring the key code pad should display after the phone resprings. Enter code and remove either the slider theme or LS rotator.

Folders in folders is great concept but anything that tweaks the fundamentals of the device, that much... Got to wait for a couple updates! When I saw the tweak, I pictured syncing and iTunes crapping all over it self, puking out of my cd drive and ultimately stabbing my iPhone to death.

It's not the matter of personalizing ur phone... It's bamboozling the **** out of it ha!

[StealthBravo]

SwitcherPlus is my fav this week

[Nelly998]

I liked rock a lot too

[Nick Hesson]

yet still a bad URL for MMI...(annoying as all heck).

What bad URL?

FoldersInFolders is broken. Cool concept, but broken. It opens a folder inside a folder by opening it on your SB outside of the folder it's inside of, but with GridLock it moves everything over one space and doesn't move them back. So you have rearrange every time you open the app. Also, it locked Doodle Jump, and random icons disappear. After it locked up my SB I turned off the display and resprung and it assploded my apps and puked something like 50 apps all over the place. It needs some serious work as of right now and I would stay very far away unless you like moving all your icons back where they were every time you open a folder inside another one.

Thank you for making my day with this. Absolutely hilarious.

I sure wouldn't.

[KartRacer]

After rearranging everything I decided to uninstall FoldersInFolders and everything on my SB, folder placement and app placement within those folders, went right back to where I had them before installing it. I see now it says it's not compatible with GridLock so I wonder if that was the issue. So from my experience, I'd stay away of you have GridLock, seems to really bork your SB if you do. Cool concept though!

See. Like I said. U can get the same effect.

1) Go to cydia, download any app you want,
2) place your phone on the table,
3) After downloading ur app, respiring.
4) Then grab a Phillips head screw driver and cram it as far up the charge/dock hole u can.
5) Leave it on the table and stand above it.
6) Drop your pants and bend your knees so that your B hole is above the home-screen button.
7) Proceed to "download" all over the screen.
8) Carry the phone out to the driveway and leave it there.
9) Drive over the device and I guarantee you will have folders in folders, on folders, over folders, new tire mark multitasking background and what seems to be... In my opinion... A more user-friendly version of folders-in-folders!
