Dock: Now for 2.0!

[mwr_allen]

I wonder if its possible for someone to create a dock style app for switching between open apps like in the aero theme in windows vista? I dont like the fact that if you are on an application that sends you to a web page that you have to push the home button and re-open the application that you were on before so this kind of aero theme would be nice. What does everyone else think.

Not really feeling this app.. I cant even see my hidden apps. I guess ill just keep on using appflow

m not able to get it in my cydia..is it already in for 2.0 or still in betas..??

if it is could you provide the source for the installation..?? (already have big boss sources n defaults)

not good after installing this I was unable to add my email. I go to setting then add email account, pick which service u have brings up the account info screen tap to input my info and it switch to another service provider tab again or tab anywhere on the screen and it switches again keeps doing that until I uninstall dock and reboot and everything goes back to normal. Oh well. Forgot to add I'm on 2.0.2 jailbrake..... Don't think this app ready for 2.0.2.

I cannot manage to slide my finger far enough to the sides to get to the outside most apps - maybe it's just my case, but it would be better if you didn't have to scroll ALL the way to side to get to them.

I too love the idea of this app at least until Big Boss gets a chance to port Categories. However, I too had similar issues that others mentioned.
I could not add an email account. When I went to type in information the screen for exchnge kept popping up instead. When tried to input anothe field. The mobileme screen came up. Yahoo mail wouldl pop up for yet another field.

Also for me the main reason for this app is to hide icons and use dock. When Poof hid the icons, it also hid them from Dock.

I ended up uninstalling Dock and went back to AppFlow for now. Mail account can now be added normally.

Great idea though.

I loved the original DOCK.app but I think this one is a little buggy it made a couple of app store apps act a little crazy like crash lander and apache lander. But I just turned it off and it was fine.

Its faster to just scroll your pages btw.. This would only be good if it worked like categories and hid the app.

I love the new version in theory, but it's busted. The interface is slow and clumsy, but the worst part is it's not compatible with Poof! With the old Dock, all apps showed up, but now it's only Springboard items. This seriously reduces its usefulness.

Agree. Great app and hope for an update that will allow us to have the hidden apps show. I'm sure it will come.

Thanks for the app port though. Look forward to the updates

old dock was much more user friendly, and yes, I did have like 50 apps, it worked beautifully.

I have been so waiting for this program to be ported, now I'm filled with dissappointment, its easier to scroll through the original pages.....

And yes, when you hide an app, it hides from dock too. Major failure!!!!

Just uninstalled from my phone!!! sux.

Same thing happened to me. This is how I fixed it:
*Note: Luckily, I have ssh default to be on when I reboot...

1)SSH into your phone
2)Open bossprefs under the applications file
3)Copy info.plist to your desktop
4)(Using a Mac) edit the info.plist with dashcode
5)Delete "< string > hidden < string >"
6)save and close
7)copy the edited info.plist file back to your iphone
8)reboot
9)bossprefs should now be un-hidden
10)now you can access poof and unhide other apps from there

good luck

i thougt it was cool and i tried it, cuz i dont like pretty much the tons of icons on my springboard, i was using appflow but sometimes it gets kinda slow and pain in the *** whating for an app to load just to launch another one, i was hoping this was my solution but what i see when i use it.... the app doesnt shoe hidden icons -.- .... just the ones on springboard... and in other hand, on the 2.0 u can tap the status bar and u go to the top of whatever ur whatchong, this works on safari, mail, even 3rd aprty like cydia, etc, whit dock u loose this ability, i guess dock creates a layer on top of the apps or something, anyway, its not over finished like all of us could wan to.

and finally, it gets boring having the finger all the time on the screen, u get tired of that, this app should b more like stacks, passing the finger all over your screen may ends on getting tired and launching the wrong app.

Its a cool idea but needs more improvements, thx tho.
