SBSettings – As Seen Through PeriVision https://www.perivision.net/wordpress An Mobile centric blog ... Full of Tech goodness Tue, 05 Feb 2013 05:13:22 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.6.2 4666035 tip# 41 to improve iphone performance, kill safari and email when below 8meg https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2010/10/tip-41-to-improve-iphone-performance-kill-safari-and-email-when-below-8meg/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2010/10/tip-41-to-improve-iphone-performance-kill-safari-and-email-when-below-8meg/#respond Tue, 26 Oct 2010 06:14:29 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=3495 Read More]]> This is a quick tip for all you jailbroken iphone users out there. ESPECIALLY you 3G users… you know who you are. So you already have downloaded SBSetting because its one of the best reason to jailbreak your iphone / ipad in the first place. However, as you have also seen, once you jailbreak, and especially after installing backgrounder, another super awesome app, memory garbage collection does not seem to work as well anymore. Why? Don’t know. But one thing you can do to easy the pain is keep an eye on your memory usage and when you see it dip below 8megs, stop whatever you are doing; swipe the top of the phone and kill safari and email. These two buggers seem to love to latch on the memory and only give it up with a last dieing breath and unkind words about your mother.
Once you get in to the habit of this you will find that your 3G is really not that bad. For your 4G users, you may not care as much, but still, its good to know eh?

Share and Enjoy !

Another cool update to Backgrounder on the iphone. Icons showing active jobs! Coolness https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2009/05/another-cool-update-to-sbsetting-on-the-iphone-icons-showing-active-jobs-coolness/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2009/05/another-cool-update-to-sbsetting-on-the-iphone-icons-showing-active-jobs-coolness/#comments Fri, 29 May 2009 03:23:43 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=1503 Read More]]> acivethreadssbsettingsOk, this is just cool.  I updated SBSetting last night and now I get an icon for active threads.  Now since I have folders, I do not see everything, but still, kinda cool. 🙂  That is all.

{update} I was just made aware that this is part of backgrounder.  Which makes sense when you think of it. I guess backgrounder was getting updated when SBSettings was and I did not notice.

Share and Enjoy !

Kill process (cnt-alt-del) for the iphone.. SBSettings gets cooler and cooler https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2009/02/kill-process-cnt-alt-del-for-the-iphone-sbsettings-gets-cooler-and-cooler/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2009/02/kill-process-cnt-alt-del-for-the-iphone-sbsettings-gets-cooler-and-cooler/#comments Sun, 01 Mar 2009 03:41:51 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=1174 Read More]]> There is a good reason SBSettings is Ichiban for my 10 ten best iphone apps list, I use it daily.  Really.. Daily!  Mostly turning the 3G off and on. When 3G is on at my place, my odds of missing a call climbs to 20%. Well, whats really great about this app is other people can write buttons for it.  Now I do not have all possible buttons downloaded, but there are 3 I just love.

1) Kill process (cnt-alt-del for us windows users):  For whatever reason, the app store and browser sometimes lock up on me.  Although lately, the browser just closes. So when I do get a lock up, I do not have to reboot the phone, I simply call up SBSettings, select the skull and crossbones (very cool icon choice) and kill the process.  Sweet.  I’ve also started using this to kill the iPod process when not in use.

2) Auto correct: Pretty clear right?  Mostly if I’m going to do a long tweet, which means lots of abbreviation.

3) Brightness. (I think this is part of the standard load) By actively controlling the brightness to only be as bright as needed, you extend the battery life quite a bit.  If I know I’m to keep the iphone on for a long time, like driving where I need to look over now and again for directions, this is a battery life saver.

TBL) Although I do not have it loaded right now, I will later tonight, there is a button to keep the phone from going to sleep.  Useful for driving mostly.

Top 10 Jailbreak apps for iphone https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2008/12/top-10-jailbreak-apps-for-iphone-22/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2008/12/top-10-jailbreak-apps-for-iphone-22/#comments Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:17:00 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=734 Read More]]> ok, in David Letterman fashion; the best jailbroken iphone apps (applications) for your smartphone happies.  Most of these should be applicable to the iPad. Same as the iphone4.

Latest news on jailbreaking the iphone.  Check it here.

And as always, if anyone thinks they know of something better then what I have here, I’m open to input.

Number 10 …. (drum roll)

 

10. WinterBoard
iPhone pimping made easy. The is normally the first thing people install and spend HOURS playing with. As for me, with exception to a few small changes, I do not bother with it since many of the changes can slow the phone down a touch.
 
9. 3G Unrestrictor

3G Unrestrictor allows you to go around the iPhone’s limitations and restrictions of not being able to use some applications like FaceTime, iCloud Backup, Photo Stream or high quality YouTube videos while on a mobile internet connection like 3G or EDGE as well as many other things.

It allows those things by tricking applications into believing they are on WiFi, even though they are on 3G or EDGE.

8. DriveSave.ly
This is a cool little app that you can get on all other phones, just not the iphone, without jailbreak. This app will listen for new SMS messages and convert those messages to voice.  Great when driving or REALLY great when motorcycling. I’ve been messing with PHP code to extend this to support email. I’ll update when I get it done. More on drivesafe.ly here.
7. VoiceActivatorJust as it sounds.  Near full command of your iphone through voice commands.  That includes ipod control, dialing people, opening web pages, even getting the time. I have not messed with this that much, but I’m trying to get map search to work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrVgvTgyUs8&feature=player_embedded
6. CyntactThis is pretty useful, at least for me. A simple hack, you get images of people next to their name.  Really I cannot understand why this is not part of the OS image address book iphone cyntact

5. Backgrounder

Backgrounder is nothing but coolness.  In fact, the only reason I do not have this lower then 5 is that I do not use it THAT much.. But LOVE it when I do.  Multithreading is something that is new and only for iOS4 users.  Yea right?  Nope. its not true multithreading AND its only for those apps that implemented it.  So what about that cool game you have been playing?  Nope, unless its been updated recently, most likely multithreading on iOS4 will not work. You can read more on iOS4 and backgrounder here.

Bollocks to that.  With Backgrounder you can use for any app , and I do.

4. IntelliScreenX 6
As much as I like this app, I’m still not 100% sure I’m going to keep it. It seems to have issues now and again.. Interfering with screen init(), slowing the iphone down, not working at times.. We’ll see. I still need to update to 6.

3. PdaNet
If you are ever in need of interwebs access for your laptop and there is no free wifi is site, well, use the iPhone! Its not fast, but handy when you need it.I also have this selected over MiWi because MiWi does not work on the latest iOS builds.  PDANet, works great.  Great for connecting my ipad.More here..
2. Categories
A must have if you have lots if junk on your iPhone. Basically its folders for your icons! Clear and simple.yea, I know, iphone4 has this… too little to late pal.
1. SBSetting
I could not go one day without this. (this is a older pic, its even better) This perfect little app provides a short cut to your most used settings and aps. I turn 3G on and off quite often, and going through all the menus within settings is a royal pain. With SBSetting, I simply swipe across the top of the screen and there they are.. ready for toggles. Sweeeettt.. More here..

Now, the following did not make the top 10, but I thought I would mention them anyway..

Quake. Yup ID’s Quake from the old days.  I do not play it much, just glad that its there. 🙂

VideoRecorder. If this worked properly I would place it over CyCorder because I love the fact you can change setting on both voice and sound.  More here.

Retro Phone Dialer.. What can I say??  Is just plain cool.
