Blank.app for 1.1.3(Second life)

[Emir S.]

I haven't had a chance to try out the installer version of this so I can't comment on whether it works but I'm guessing it does.

If you want to do it manually, its " .app"....just a regular space instead of an actual name.
@Bassir
Summerboard allows you to have a wallpaper on your homescreen.
IMO, SMB is one of those must have apps...as important as installer and cydia themself.
As for the icons... They are a mix and match of random icons, docks, etc.

hey guys. I was just wondering if there was a way to duplicate this program. I would actually like 4 of them? Anyone know how to do that. I tried copying and paisting the app in mobile finder and renaming them but only one app still showed up on the springboard.

I believe there is a way, if you are willing to mess a bit with the .plist.

Here's how (I'm fairly sure yet I could be wrong...haven't done much with .plists since 1.1.1).
Duplicate the app as many times as you need in the filesystem and rename every sequential one with an aditional [space].

Example:
Original name " .app", then " .app", " .app" and so on.

This will ensure that the apps dont have visable text on Springboard.

The reason why you currently still only see one app on the SB is the info.plist....the file that tells SB what's what.
You need to open that .plist and change the name string within to something different for each file.
Current name is "Blank".
Try changing the name to "Blank2" and so on, and see if it makes a difference.

Back in the days for 1.1.1 and rSBT, all you had to do is hit a button within rSBT as this feature was buit in.
I'm not sure how to integrate it into Customize or as a stand-alone app.

Good Luck and let me know if it works.

can u change the plist file in mobile finder? If not is it possible on a pc and do I need a certain program I need to open it with. Sorry for all the questions, I've never messed with the plist.

Yes you can use MobileTextEdit in conjunction with MobileFinder and you can also do it on your Mac/PC using a simple text editor such as Notepad on PC.

A .plist is essentially a text file, similar to cfg's, etc.
Just make sure the extension remains a .plist and not a txt or another text format.

fantastic guys now i can use vWallpaper without having my icons in the way..


just to let know know it defo works with 1.1.4

does this work the same way? seems easier to do.

oh and once you add it as a source, what's the app called?

Sure does, and its also called blank app lols :P

I wasn't aware of this version when I had made mine. Its a simple SH script that just closes if pressed, and has a splash screen so you know you've "found it" when freshly installed and you're unsure where it is.

Interesting, its showing up on my server and when I ping it through Installer. Just gave it a go, here it is installed:

soory dude.

[bbplayer5]

which plist file do I edit to add more empty icons?

[Emir S.]

Just here to report that blank.app works as advertised under 2.0.

Have fun.

[Grip]

it works perfectly on 2.2!..

And what is it it did?
If you got the questionmark icon, you didn't set permissions right. You have to set the folder as well as all subfolders and files inside of it to 0755.

I have the question mark on the Quick Gold and SBSettings Icons. How can I rectify it?
