iSwap desktop switcher app

Ok, I fully expect the flaming barrage, I am having a brain f@rt.

Where do you find the names of the programs to put into the displayOrder.plist like com.apple.mobilemail

I know that I know the answer, I am just not able to bring it to the front of my brain.

I apologize in advance.

If you need me I'll be sitting in the corner with my dunce cap on

Ok, I looked around and got it.

For those who don't know...

You need to get the "CFBundleIdentifier" from the application's Info.Plist

You then add it to the /SpringBoard.app/English.lproj/LocalizedApplicationNames.strings

And then you can use it in the DisplayOrder.plist

Happy to have answered my own question and hope this helps.

If I have got it wrong, or there is a better way, please correct me/PM me and I will edit.

Sorry, guys... been swamped at work and haven't had a chance to check back here.

All of the binaries used for iSwap are:

bash
mv
kill
ps
grep
sed

Hope that helps.

Could you please provide us with all of those files. I still can't get it working and I've been trying since you first posted it.

Ok, got it to work.
I was missing "grep".
Works perfectly now.
Thanks KennX, great script.

Dude, still doesnt work

I compared your two plist files with mine..have all the binaries...dont know what is going on anymore

**Miyavi** · 08-15-2007 07:03 AM

Could those that have it working help us out here?

**theviolator** · 08-15-2007 07:13 AM

Yeah!!! Can somebody post step by step guide (for idiots) how to make it work?
Im on my wits end already the plist files are correct, I tested from the ssh mv DisplayOrder.plist to Screen1.plist and it works. I have grep, mv,kill, ps,sed...they all work as well. But when I press the icon on iSwap it just goes back to my original desktop! Most of all, all the things in the plists are completely ignored also...applications which shouldnt show on the main desktop are still showing and they ARE in the "special" array in my DisplayOrder.plist

I didnt know what else to do ...so I went and gave 777 permissions to those scripts (see how desperate I am) ....still nothing

P.S. All those who got it to work, have you installed the new firmware update?
