@Sakurina would you be able to rotate the icons for landscape mode using this hack,
just wondering because a wall has been hit in trying to make the calendar and the badges rotate to the right orientation

[edit}whoops should have read Landscape SpringBoard before I posted this[/edit]

Thanks your work is sweet

Hey Sakurina, it sounds like your making quick progress on this. I'd rather wait till you refine it more before I try though.

It seems like there are just a handful of folks that are out there doing heavy mods like this and when they do it really doesn't take that too long for them to write it. So if more folks would start taking this kind of initiative, we could be light years ahead in just a few months.

This is one of those things that you would've thought someone would have tried by now. Still awesome that you are doing this. I have a question for you, but I'll PM you about it.

EDIT: Your box is full fool!

link those people to this page ha!

They aren't wiggling, that's weird
But much better! It's way faster!

Cant figure out the install..? I put the file in private/var/root/media. Then open Console in winscp then what?

Got it, works perfect. Thanks!

This is one of the test cases I'm keeping for the very end because I don't feel like making that many blank applications right now. When I'll be ready for a public release, I'll test it out and report if you can or not. (You can also try it yourself if you want, don't be surprised if it crashes.)

Though that would cause issues on uninstall, so probably it would be a good thing if it didn't work.

Good news for everyone: I actually managed to sneak in an extra bugfix today. I just finished getting FCSB to correctly work with SpringJumps' titles, so that will be in the new version I'll be putting up here a little later tonight.

--- 0.54!
0.55 is now out, check page 11 for details.

Aaa! I just installed 0.52 just before supper and now this!

Is there an easy way to update? besides uninstalling then reinstalling.

Oh and if I need to uninstall can you re-explain how to uninstall cause you edited out the 0.52 release post.

Ahh, very nice

I'm kinda glad there's no more shaking, makes it way easier...

Oh and a few suggestion for

Some way of toggling between 4 and 5 columns

a) harder, and maybe a bit idealistic, but would it be possible to just make each row justified like the dock, so all icons are center in each row? the only problem with this would be that the last row would look kinda funny

b) bossprefs toggle? kinda lame, but it'd work

edit: woah I just noticed a huge glitch on 0.54, when you slide from page to page the icons only show up if the entire icons fits.

Sakurina, I simply wanted to tell you that there are many of us where I'm from rooting for you and thankful for all the work you've put into making our phones better.  Further, its laudable of you to be so responsive and caring with your valuable time, even to the plausibly 11yr old modmyi or similar crew which post so many questions to answers which you have already provided in prior posts.  Great job man, you're appreciated.

Insomnia sucks. Oh well, I guess I'll answer some messages.

So maybe you could make a mod that simply stops the wiggling icons in rearrange mode and that's all it changes. for the folks that don't want five columns, but like the lackage of wigglage You should even name it "Lackage of Wigglage"

That definitely could be done; in fact since there's no messing with plists, I could just release that right now. (I do want to add some form of letting the user know they're in edit mode, I'll be looking into that tomorrow.)

Can someone provide a list of what themes have small enough icons? I also think folks would majorly appreciate it if you provided such a list along with the package somehow.  Or is it like Five Icon Dock where standard sized icons still work fine, but fit tightly with little or no space?

Five-Column SpringBoard uses the same spacing as Five-Icon Dock does, so anything that fits in Five-Icon Dock fits in FCSB. I do recommend Abeo, Pump, and Nanocons for use with this though. If all the theme authors can put them up on Cydia (I know Abeo's on there), I can link to them in the depiction (what shows up when you're viewing the package in Cydia).

Thank you very much. This has been a great learning experience for me, and I'm able to give something cool to the jailbreak community at the same time. Gives me something to do during the day too. Feels a lot like when I did SpringRoll, to be honest.
