InfiniBoard – Vertical Scrolling For iPhone Home Screen [jailbreak]

One of the best things about jailbreaking your iPhone is amount of customization you can do to it.

I am going to talk about an app that addresses a problem common to a lot of folks.

The iPhone Home Screen allows you to have 16 apps and 4 apps in the dock. If you have more apps than that they all spill into the pages following it.

But, what if you had more than 20 apps that you need instant access to without scrolling through pages and pages of apps to find it?

InfiniBoard is a paid jailbreak app that adds vertical scrolling to your home screen giving you unlimited number of apps.

Once installed, you just move apps to your home screen and they will just adjust down. And you can scroll vertically to access all apps.

Tip: I order my home screen apps alphabetically as I found it to be the easiest way to find an app without looking back and forth.

Infiniboard is available on Cydia and costs just $0.99.

If you are keen eyed, you could see the last row of icons in the top of the next screenshot.

However, I did come across an issue with InfiniBoard but knowing the simple fix I’d still recommend this app to anyone who wants vertical scrolling.

iPhone Page Scrolling Issue

Just this morning though, my iPhone 3GS started freezing up on home screen. Any action I would do like swiping to next page will result in a Springboard restart.

So, I switched to safe mode via SBSettings –> Power option and started uninstalling one jailbreak app after another to find the culprit and found Infiniboard causing the unresponsive iPhone UI.

After searching through forums, I came across a simple fix.

Fix:

• Go to SBSettings
• Go to Mobile Substrate Add-ons screen
• Turn off IconSupport

That’s it. My iPhone 3GS was back at it’s normal glory.
