CallBar by E. Limneos & J. Tucker ($3.99)

I'm very excited about this tweak, unfortunately the default screen-shot button sequence doesn't work while this tweak is displaying a call, so no image for this post :/ (I've added a video found on YouTube below, a good look at its functionality)

CallBar is a modification to how your iPhone displays phone calls. If you've ever been in the middle of typing a email or watching a youtube video only to have someone call you and interrupt what you're doing, then you know how irritating this can be. By default the iPhone will pop up a incoming phone call screen that displays your basic information about the caller and a few options for interacting with the call. What typically happens to me, is I'm typing something when the phone rings and I end up hitting deny before I can even react to the phone call. CallBar fixes all of these irritations, and it was just released yesterday (July 18th).

This app comes from a standard Cydia repository, so no need to add a new one. Just search for CallBar in Cydia and install as usual. This app cost $3.99 and is worth every bit of that!

SBRotator by Elias Limneos ($1.99)



If you're like me, you wonder why Apple doesn't have a widescreen Springboard (aka desktop). Thanks to Elias Limneos, you now can! This tweak even works in various other parts of the iPhone OS such as Settings Menu, Youtube, and more!

Note: I suggest you have SBSettings installed before installing SBRotator for easy on/off operation.

This application has no Springboard icon, but does have settings you can change in the iPhones main settings menu.

Once installed, re-spring and turn your phone 90 degrees (left or right) and your Springboard will go into widescreen mode. How cool!

I only changed these settings to make the app look better:
"iPad-style Layout" 4x4 to 3x6 (16 icons max)
"Icon Scale" 85%

Cydia Store Link (iDevice only):
SBRotator 4.x (iOS 4.0+)
