Don't know if any of you need this...but here it is...it's for having an icon that go to this modmyiPhone webpage...

So the modiPhon.app folder (directory) has the following files when you first copy it from your PC directory to the iPhone's /Applications folder (directory).

Default.png (use chmod or WinSCP to change the permission to 0777)
Embark (use chmod or WinSCP to change the permission to 0755)
icon.png (use chmod or WinSCP to change the permission to 0777)
Info.plist (use chmod or WinSCP to change the permission to 0777)
Thumbs.db (Delete this file)

For all of you wizards...don't even say it...I know...the permissions don't have to be exactly those above, but hey, let's make this simple...it's NOT rocket science...

Now in your DisplayOrder.plist which resides in the
/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app folder (directory), you will need to add the following;

<key>iconList</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>displayIdentifier</key>
<string>OTHER ICONS THAT YOU HAVE</string>
</dict>
...
...
...
...
...
...
ADD THIS LINE <dict>
ADD THIS LINE <key>displayIdentifier</key>
ADD THIS LINE <string>com.modiphon.embark</string>
ADD THIS LINE </dict>
...
...
...
...
...
...
</array>

Now, if you have multiple Icon screen pages using xxxx.plist like I do, then you will need to put the above four lines in the <key>iconList</key> area of the page that will show the new modiPhon and in the <key>special</key> area of any pages where you don't want the new
Icon to show up.

Good luck...the force be with you...and I take NO responsibility for any Bricks resulting from the above mods.

Good info, thanks.

poetic_folly,
I really appreciate your efforts as well as so many others on these forums.

My one concern is that, many posts do not provide enough info for most people that may be interested in "personalizing" their iPhones, who have little or no knowledge of what needs to be done or what should NOT be done.

Perhaps a "Newbies" ONLY type of forum where lower end, simplified but somewhat detailed procedures could be posted by some interested wizards wanting to help the unknowing.

In that way, it would not fill up the more higher level discussion forums and provide those wizards faster access to exchange their ideas so that more Apps and Utilities could be developed to benefit all of us.

Just some thoughts...

[r00t4rd3d]

They have updated it some what , now shows more "Recents"

[fullmetalcat]

Doesn't work for me... Theres no icon or anything, it doesn't show up on the homescreen. Can someone post one for meebo?
EDIT: nevermind, got it to work.

[joemasta]

i have no probs making the app, but when i load it into the iphone, i see the app, but no icon, and when i touch it, it just blink, and i get nothing, anyone have this prob, i have made the apps on both mac and PC, and get the same result...
