HOW-TO Custom Docks (Instructions for themers)

Springtomize support custom docks, to let you change the appearance of your dock.Building packages to add new docks is really simple. Once you have your dock image, rename it to “Dock.png” and place it in a folder called “YourDockName”.

Now, you need to create a deb package with the following structure:

-YourDockPackage
— DEBIAN
——- control
— var
——mobile
———- Library
————- Springtomize
—————— CustomDocks
——————— YourDockName
———————— Dock.png

in the control file, make your package “Depends:” on “com.filippobiga.springtomize”. You should build a different package for iPhone and iPad. Note that the upcoming lite version does /not/ support custom docks!

To save your Icon State:

  1. go into Settings > Springtomize > Icons
  2. Tap “Save IconState” and type a name for the saving.

HOW-TO Go to safe mode while crash loop or solve a crash

You need to only one of the following things to go into safe mode if you can’t use your device for an unknown reason:
1) Use ssh from a shell and type the following command: 
ssh root@IP_OF_YOUR_IPHONE “killall -SIGSEGV SpringBoard”
2) Use SBSettings > Power > Safe Mode

To solve a crash:
1) use ssh and remove the file located under: /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.filippobiga.springtomize.plist, then respring
2) if it still crashes, remove these 2 files:
/Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/Springtomize.dylib
/Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/Springtomize.plist
3) go into safe mode and remove Springtomize with Cydia

HOW-TO Submit an issue

  1.  Install “syslog to /var/log/syslog” from Cydia.
  2. reboot your iPhone
  3. replicate the crash and email me the file /var/log/syslog, including:
  • the model of your device
  • the iOS version you’re running
  • the list of packages installed from Cydia
  • how to replicate the crash / what you did before the crash

PS: Since lots of person are asking question for support / help / instructions etc, I’ll probably start asking for the paypal / amazon email before looking your email. So If you can, forward it to me with the request and you’ll be sure to have an answer as soon as possible.
