LOL - run Garmin Maps on WM on the iPhone LOL..!!

Another thing - anybody using the 'categories' folders to put programs in on the springboard - things are getting crowded on this phone now.

I use categories, what u need?
 
Springboard Icons Keep Rearranging

My springboard icons keep rearranging:( I have a jailbreaked iPhone running Categories, Five Icon Dock, QuickGold & others. Anyway to fix this?
 
Wifi Problems

Every time the Auto-lock function activates after 1 minute is turns off Wifi in order to save battery - i'm fine with this..

But as I unlock with the phone, surely Wifi should be enabled again?! Well it doesn't I have to go to Settings and choose my router again!

I'm telling you its that g*damn WinterBoard I had installed that's playing these funny games with my phone!!

Anyone else?

Sounds like an ownership / permissions error to me..

Can you SSH into the phone? If so in Putty, type: (Or even in MobileTerminal which you can grab from Cydia )

cd /
chown -R mobile /var/mobile/

@limnos - mine does it at random aswell. I agree, all started after Winterboard. I dont even use it! Must figure out which app diwnloaded it, uninstall and see if its better?
 
Try it again perhaps? Maybe Winterboard changed some ownerships..

It's been removed ages ago...

Okay I set the owner permissions, yet again. Hopefully I won't have this problem again - will post back to let you know if it was the issue....

Doesn't make sense, I know so many people that use WinterBoard without any issues. But you prob right fxit, it could be the ownership issue...
 
Has anyone tried AirMouse in AppStore? It looks very funky! Just a bit pricey at $5.99.
 
fxit...

I set those permissions on:

cd /

AND

cd ~

Does it make any difference, or was it okay that I set them to both? Or is ~ and / the same thing?! :confused:

It doesn't support Mac yet, so I can't try it out:

Requirements:
- Windows XP/Vista ONLY (Mac version coming soon)

I used to use TouchPad Pro back in the 1.1.x days....

Don't like the fact that you need extra software on your PC to use the app..

It says requirements Mac OSX10.4?
Maybe they upgraded it?
 
I've never been a fan of Categories....

Are you guys happy with it?

Been working fine for me, no freaky reaarangment of apps or anything, it does also install backgrounder, a service which keeps some apps running in the background for quick access, this makes your folders open instantly in stead of taking a few seconds to load (only for selected folders), however, this feature is buggy, i only have 3 folders, rest of my apps remain on the springBoard, most of the time the folders open instantly, but it does happen from time to time that it has to load again, generally i'm happy with categories
