iSwap v.2 is now ready for download (well, as soon as the d/l section updates... ). With this version I've included a theme and all the plist files you need to make it work. I've also categorized the 4 default screens so they are Home, Games, Apps and URLS. This version should be easier to get up and running with and I've tried to streamline things a bit and put some notes together about adding extra screens, maintaining the plists, etc.

This version has 4 screens by default with unlimited expandability. It also makes less use of the mv command instead using sym links to make it a bit 'safer'.

I'll be putting up a video later this evening to show the new version in action. I'll be linking it off my blog at http://digestingreality.blogspot.com...2-release.html

Cheers!

awesome! Thanks for all your hard work.

One question: do you plan on providing a package that works through installer.app? Doesthis always require manual editing of plist files, or does a default configuration come pre-packaged that doesn't require any editing?

I'm looking into doing something for the Installer.app however, if I do I would have to 'force' a theme on people otherwise I couldn't be sure the plist files would work.

This version isn't too far from that. I supply a theme and plist files with it so it can be installed 'as is' and work (providing you have the pre-requisites like an SSH'd phone, the binkit binaries, etc.).

I haven't seen anyone doing themes through the Installer.app so I'm not sure it there's an issue there or not. There has been a LOT of requests for this so if I can make it work... I will.

Gonna give this a shot now.

Seems like the d/l's are taking awhile to get approved tonight. My new app is also available from a link off my blog in case it doesn't show up here for awhile.

Sorry, I skipped this message for some reason. Here are are the binaries that iSwap v.2 uses:

bash
grep
kill
ln
mv
ps
rm
sed
touch
unlink

The only new ones needed from v.1 to v.2 are ln and unlink.

You never know when they'll be handy...

If we only want 1 extra screen, can we delete or rename the other 2 default screens so that they won't be swapped to?



Edit: Whatever you do, don't do that. Haha. It brings up an icon-less springboard. :P

What do I need to do to take off the other two?

Okay, good point. I thought about doing this before but forgot. Anyway, I've now got a link off my blog http://digestingreality.blogspot.com/ for a download that has iSwap.sh files for 2 or 3 Screens only.

EDIT: I've rolled this into the iSwap v.2 download so if you're grabbing it from here on out there is a folder with these alternative iSwap.sh scripts for 2 or 3 screens.

Also, I noticed that for some reason the d/l file for iSwap v.2 does NOT have the commented out EDIT MARKS that I reference in my README file. I don't know what happened there (probably didn't save for some reason) but it was okay otherwise. So, if you're wanting to add a 5th screen or more and don't know where to put it... drop me a line.

EDIT: Corrected this in the new d/l as well.

hey guys i tried installing this for the 3rd time this morning and it still wont work correctly. i installed the bin kit and chmodded all of them to 0755, i put iswap in the application folder and chmodded iswap.sh to 0755. evrythings looking good and the setup process works because it created the screens folder inside the springboard folder but it always freezes at the changing screens page. it has never switched screens for me. do i have to chmod each individual screen?? i use the option to just click the button to change pages. if anyone could help me out i would greatly appreciate it....thanks in advance guys.

Did you go into the Screen#.app folders and chmod 755 the Screen#.sh files inside of them?
