App switching tweak?
- Thread starter VeGt0m
- Start date
The only thing I can think of is the stock way: Close to the springboard and find the icon and open it.
There's also the "Open In..." function, should you want to open something in another app (and both apps have allowed that function).
Unless I'm completing missing it - there's no tweak that'll do what you want. Sorry.

Doesn't he want your favourite tweak "Dock" Marilyn?
Check it out here - http://www.ipadforums.net/jailbreak-applications-tweaks/26610-dock-paid-tweak.html
It lets you assign favourite apps to the dock so you can open them any time... That's the closest thing I can think of...

Oh yeah! I forgot about that one (uninstalled it after I tired of it only opening on one side...).
With that reminder, there is also SBSettings - where you can put four (or more?) icons in it's dock settings. Just do NOT put in icons that use Mobile Substrate (e.g. Overboard)! Trust me, it wouldn't be pretty...
With both/either of these, you can open other apps without having to go back to the springboard. In the "for what it's worth" department" - I really did like Dock. Again, I just tired of it (and wanted to have less tweaks on my iPad). It is a very nice tweak.

Hi guys,
Don't want to be seen as annoying or anything
, but I just want to know what kind of apps use the mobile substrate as I have started using the dock function of SBsettings.
Can anyone help?
Thanks. Don't wanna be seen as the annoying new guy who keeps asking questions (thought that's kind of what I am
) but I just trying to gain as much knowledge as I can to make the most of my device and make sure my jailbreak runs smoothly 
. As I said I did try a forum search but didn't find what I wanted.

Sorry that I've created some confusion for you. Let me tell you what happened to me, then you can decide what to do:
I put the tweak Overboard onto the dock of my SBSettings app. It uses/hooks into Mobile Substrate (MS for short). It seriously messed up my SBSettings dock, in that I could not remove it from the dock and I never could put anything else on the dock. The only thing that fixed it was the upgrade from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 4.3.3 - it was that messed up. I made the decision then to never put anything into the SBSettings dock that tied into MS. So, that's me and my story. I can't say this would happen to anyone else - so my apologies for throwing that bit into my comments on SBSettings. It added confusion, for which I am sorry/regretful.
You can tell which items that hook with MS by opening SBSettings and selecting "More." Then, scroll down until you see the line "Mobile Substrate Addons." You'll be provided with a list of tweaks that are "on" with MS. Note that you really don't want to mess with them, especially if you're, like me, a non-programmer/tweaker at the OS level...
To repeat, what happened to me may not happen to you. I was just passing on an experience (and my conclusions from it).
AFAIK, it doesn't matter with App Store (read: stock) apps. You can put them on the SBSettings dock all day long and they'll work fine. It was just that one tweak, for me, from Cydia.
I hope this clears things up a bit. Again, sorry for the confusion and the FUDing about using the SBSettings dock. Let me know if that helps.
