WinterBoard: Popular Jailbreak App That Allows You to Customize iPhone Gets Major Update
Jay Freeman aka saurik - founder of Cydia is on a roll, he has not only released an update for Mobile Substrate, he has also released a major update for WinterBoard - one of the most popular jailbreak apps to customize the look and feel of your jailbroken iPhone.
If had noticed any SpringBoard lag after using WinterBoard then you will be glad to know that the issue has been fixed in this update.
As per the change log WinterBoard 0.9.3905 includes the following changes and improvements:
Comments
-
I updated and now my phone just freezes at the lockscreen... WTF?!! I think I am going to have to completely restore it now..
-
Couldnt you just reboot while holding the up volume button and remove winterboard? Wasn't that the point of the update to mobile substrate? Just saying that rather than complain maybe you should do a little work! Some reading my man!
-
Also try SSHing in, and apt-get removing winterboard.
-
Let's hope he downloaded it other wise back to square 1 adding all your tweaks and stuff to bad there isn't a back up for tweaks
-
I know Mr Freeman is busy, but surely he can find time to write some decent documentation.Winterboard is like ALSA: fantastically powerful, but almost completely undocumented, leaving most of its users wasting most of its functionality, due only to being unaware of it.inb4 saurik owes you nothing: he's had a cut off everything I've bought on Cydia.
-
After update I noticed a few of my tweaks no longer work. My carrier tweak along with my theme's icons. Worked fine before update. I tried reinstalling and replacing but neither worked. Curious if this happened to anyone else.
-
There are several: pkgbackup is one.I think its UI is horrifyingly muddled and nonsensical (there's a setting in the Settings.app page that boils down to "set this to yes if you want pkgbackup to work", and its progress reporting is awful, and it will happily reinstall stuff that's not compatible with the running iOS version), but it can be made to work, and is easier than doing it by hand.
-
Prolly the SummerBoard Mode switch.Try switching it on, and see if this fixes things. If so, best long-term solution is to re-write the affected themes in WinterBoard.
-
Summerboard is on. Still nothing tried turning off and back on. I also noticed I had an alternate volume HUD tweak which no longer works as well.
-
Farts in your bum bum!
-
Thanks Jay for CyDialer
-
So it was Winterboard that caused the SpringBoard Scroll Lag. I have been going crazy about this. Everything is nice and smooth since this update and I no longer have to wait up to 10 seconds (sometimes more) to type into Springboard search.
-
I have the acidity theme. After updating with summer on or off three of my icons aren't themed any more. Only clock mail and message icons are normall now. All of my other icons or apps are still themed under the acidity theme. Tried all kinds of things and nothing makes a diff. Frustrating to say the least.
-
If you installed the mobile substrate update from yesterday, hold the volume up button while rebooting. Your phone should reboot to safe mode then you can go into cydia uninstall winterboard. No need to restore.
-
Imagine IOS5 theme with this winter board update caused the time on status bar to disappear. Must be a winter board issue as the time was there before
-
Ditto. Anyone have a fix for this?
-
Yep same thing happened with me. Using iApplesauce, the time in the status bar disappeared. For some reason if I go into Cydia the time will re-appear but as soon as I go back to the home screen the time will disappear again. Changing to a different theme will bring it back. Anyone know how to fix this?
-
Found a fix!!***ALWAYS BACKUP FILE(S) USED****"I found a solution, SSH into your device go to Library\Themes\NameOfTheme.theme. Open the main info.plist and delete the part that says TimeStylecolor: transparent; text-shadow: transparent 0px 0px 0px it might look a little different than this. When that's deleted save the file and respring. Your time should show up. Hope this works!"I used iExplorer on my desktop instead of SSH and it worked just as well. Brought my time and date back I found this fix on modmyi at http://modmyi.com/content/7466-major-winterboard-update-brings-speed-many-bug-fixes-comments2.html#commentsGood luck,Dan
