FolderEnhancer Brings Many New Features to iOS 4 Folders [Jailbreak Req]

FolderEnhancer is a new tool available in Cydia that brings a lot of new features to iOS 4.x folders. It extends the functionality of folders that can be created in iOS 4. Here's a group of features for this tweak listed below & a quick video demo to see it working in action.

  • Open folders faster
  • Add up to 320 icons to a folder ( 20 pages, 16 apps per page )
  • Create folders inside folders
  • Create folders on the doc
  • Supports Iconoclasm for custom layouts inside of folders
  • Extends MultiIconMover to allow moving multiple icons into/out of folders
  • Options include hiding the folder name and wallpaper, as well as disabling animations.
You can buy FolderEnhancer for $1.99 from Cydia Store via BigBoss repo but for CatergoriesSB owners, you can get it for $0.99 only.

Update 1: FolderEnhancer probably not working with iPhone and iPod users using InfiniFolders, you may lose some apps. [Thanks Will for the note]

Bumpers apparently returning to Apple Stores tomorrow

According to sources close to the matter, Apple Stores across the nation will begin to start selling iPhone 4 Bumper cases again tomorrow, Friday October 1st. All Bumper colors will be available starting tomorrow in both Apple’s online and retail stores. The Bumpers will be sold at their $29.00 price point and some stores may only have limited quantities. Note that colors will be subject to availability so it’s possible that your local store will not have all six colors tomorrow.

The main thing going on here is that you will finally be able to get a Bumper in any color you like, not just black. Hopefully for that $29 Apple will be selling the Bumpers in their usual packaging, not plastic bags.

It makes sense that I conclude that the new jailbreak tool will see the light within little few days. We have to remind you again that if you are interested in the Apple TV jailbreak, so it's better to buy it early before Apple patches the discovered exploits. We will of course let you know once they are ready for prime time use. Stay tuned for that!
