# SBSettings

SBSettings runs as an extension to springboard (your iPhone desktop). It has been carefully written to use very little memory and be very fast performing. There is very little RAM in the iPhone and using up all the RAM can cause lots of issues. SBSettings takes this into account in its design and implementation providing you a very thin and fast extension.

Usage: The springboard extension is very easy to use. Just slide across the top of your statusbar or tap with two fingers on the statusbar to bring up the settings window.

- The big buttons are toggles. Red is "OFF" Green is "ON".
- The "more" button brings up the settings app which lets you configure which settings you want available, hide icons, and other bossprefs like things.
- The "refresh" button will refresh the state of the icons in case it gets out of sync (you changed a toggle in regular settings app or such). It is important
- The "Dock" button brings up a small app launcher. The intent of this is to add other settings like apps so you can remove them from your springboard cleaning up the clutter. Suggested apps to add to this are things like Settings, WinterBoard, and Categories. You get a max of 12 icons you can add. Note: if you launch an app while another app is already running, SBSettings will attempt to kill the app that's running and launch the new app, but this may not always work. It's recommended to only use this feature on springboard, but its up to you to try it.
- Respring will do a fast respring. This also rebuilds the cache on 2.1 and newer firmwares. If you manually SSH an app into /Applications, you need this in order to see the icon.
- Power brings up a menu of options such as reboot, power off, lock.

The More App
In order to keep memory usage down and the iPhone peforming well, we implemented many of the non-timing critical functions in SBSettings in a separate app that does not use any memory when not running. This app is brought forth by clicking "more". (If you are reading this help page, you must have found out how to get here already!). The following areas are available in the "more" app as of v1.0:

- Manage Themes - select the theme of the settings window. Comes with 3 themes and more can be installed from Cydia. You can also preview the theme by using the blue disclosure arrow. Themes are stored at /var/mobile/Library/ SBSettings/Themes in case you want to make your own.
- Set Toggles - Here you can configure which toggles are on / off. Only enable the toggles you really use. The more toggles you have enabled, the longer it takes to respring and the more memory is used by springboard. (Most toggles do not use much memory and are pretty insignficant, but every little bit helps).
- Dock Applications - You can select up to 12 icons to move from your springboard onto a dock inside the dropdown window. This allows you to clean up some of your icons. Some apps to move here might be other settings related apps such as Settings, Categories, and Winterboard.
- Dock Applications Fix Button - This is for those of you that had an app on your dock, uninstalled the app, and now you have blank spaces. Click this and it should remove your blanks. It will instantly respring when done.
- Hide Icons - This is Poof. It lets you hide or unhide your icons from your springboard and launch them with quickgold, categories, or whatever.
- Extras - This provides some extras that were available in BossPrefs such as numeric battery, fix user dir permissions, and app killswitch disable. A couple notes. Numeric battery can be toggled between regular and numeric by tapping on it. Do not use the "fix user dir permissions" unless you really have a problem to solve like mail app crashing. Most people never need this.

Other points:
Airplane Mode: We will not provide an airplane mode toggle. If you want airplane mode use the phone toggle. Phone + Wifi is the same as airplane mode. This allows you to have wifi while disabling the phone functions if you wish.

Toggles: More toggles are on the way, be patient. We will make toggles as we find the time.

Adding your own toggles: This feature is in progress. Does not yet exist.
