Surely some of you enjoy the app SBSettings from Cydia, or at least heard of it. For those who for whatever reason have not heard about this app, I remind you that one of the basic functions SBSettings is a fast and easy access to the most chastoispolzuemym phone settings, such as lighting, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. Of course, to use it you need to jailbreak your device. Today I will talk about how you can achieve similar functionality, without the need to hack the firmware.
Recently you may have noticed that some functionality of popular applications from Cydia begins to gradually become available to users who do not want to do Producing His Tools. Personally, I really like this trend. For example users can now sync your iPhone without wires, to teach me external devices without the help of the form Winterboard, and now the turn and quick access to the settings.
I will tell you about three ways that will enable you to give up a long picking settings.
Many of you may have heard of Jeff Broderick, The designer and developer interfaces for iOS. The principle of adding icons quick access to the settings is very simple, it is based originally laid the ability to add links to the home screen, and then began to be used in iOS 5 Firmware .mobileconfig. On the Developer page
http://brdrck.me/settings you can see a list of options that are available for quick access.Unfortunately, this list is not yet too big, but with the time required to replenish with new features. All you need - to choose the desired function and agree to the installation profile in your phone. Then you can work with the shortcut icon setting, as if it were a normal application. I think it is best to create a folder for a set of labels. The advantage of this method - a very beautiful setting icons narisovanna Jeff Broderick.
Another way to get free icons quick access to settings - use the service IconSettings. There is also used to install the principle of profiles phone. IconSettings differs from the previous method of a large number of settings are available for use. You can select only the required or to establish a set of 40 icons in its entirety. The choice you have two options of registration.
The latter method may be more functional, but not free. You need to buy in the App Store icon Project. Appendix cheap, just $ 0.99, but I'm not sure that there is a need to pay for this application when there are free alternatives. Icon Project uses the older method, in fact, it only creates a link to a local file access configuration, but it allows you to issue a shortcut to your liking.
Describe all the functionality Icon Project I do not see the point, so that will touch only with regard to access to the settings. Appearance Icon Project seemed a bit scruffy, options framing custom icons on I think most of them are tasteless, but, if desired, yet it is quite possible to create attractive icons. In order to get the icon to open the desired setting, we need to write the address to which the desired object is located. Here are a few examples, the rest you can easily find yourself:
Bluetooth - prefs: root = General & path = Bluetooth
Brightness - prefs: root = Brightness
Wallpapers - prefs: root = Wallpaper
Wi-Fi - prefs: root = WIFI
Not to say that this method is convenient to use, but perhaps there are those to whom exactly he will appeal.
To summarize this article, I want to note that the quick access to the settings works only with iOS 5.0 and above. To remove unwanted icons to access the settings, it is recommended to remove the appropriate profiles. You can find them in the Settings - General - Profiles.
