Infiniboard vertical scrolling appRemember Infinidock -- a nifty tool for jailbroken iPhone users that enables horizontal scrolling on the iPhone dock?

Now chpwn, the developer of Infinidock and other jailbreak iPhone apps  like ProSwitcher has released another useful application that will enable vertical scrolling on your iPhone. 

Inspired by the vertical scrolling functionality on Android handsets like the Nexus One, InfiniBoard allows users to vertically scroll through their SpringBoard icons. The application integrates with the built-in horizontal scrolling functionality thus providing a two-dimensional navigation feature on your SpringBoard. 

However, there are a few issues waiting to be resolved. Though the InfiniBoard application includes support to OverBoard; an application that brings Mac’s Exposé feature to the iPhone, the icons are currently hidden and are expected to show up only after a new update is released for OverBoard. Also, users who have Categories app installed may notice that vertical scrolling does not work inside a particular folder. These are expected to be fixed in the next few days. 

 InfiniBoard is available from the BigBoss repo on Cydia for $1.99.

    Awesome app! Reminds me of the iPhone 2G 1.x.x days when Summerboard used to do the exact same thing. Only it was one endlessly vertical scrolling homescreen lol. I had to disable Iconoclasm for this tweak to work though. Seems to work with Categories and CategoriesSB. But not with Lockinfo which no longer scrolls on my homescreen but still works fine in my actual lockscreen. 4 stars! I would have given 5 but the minor bugs prevented it. Great work though!!!!! :D

    @grosslyclever Then you are stealing from me. Thanks.

  85. by Xuzz149, on March 21 2010 @ 3:54 pm

    @grosslyclever I built it custom for the simulator, for debugging.

  86. by grosslyclever, on March 21 2010 @ 4:32 pm

    @Xuzz149Can you please do a tutorial on how to show apps in the sumulator?

  87. by Xuzz149, on March 21 2010 @ 5:25 pm

    @grosslyclever You can only run apps in the simulator that you build yourself using the SDK. When you do that, it is just one click to build for simulator instead.

    I bought your app, it’s very nice and extremely useful. Also as a side perk all my friends are totally jealousBut there is one thing, when an app opens or closes, the icons don’t fade out/in like they used to, they only fly, and it looks extremely out of place. I would love it if this was fixed! Also, if you launch an app from lower down, the center point of the “fly” is still at the top, and looks even more out of place

    Is it compatible with Iconoclasm? Nice app btw

  100. by wilws, on May 18 2010 @ 9:33 am

    I have a few questions, how does syncing with itunes effect icon placement (will I lose the ability to see hundreds of icons upon itunes sync)? I also have over 500 apps so I would like to know if the pages will auto populate or if I will have to move them all individually. Can any of this be done on the computer side in order to speed things up? Thanks.

  101. by Xuzz149, on May 18 2010 @ 7:28 pm

    @wilws iTunes doesn’t support any changed icon layouts (so it disables that feature of the sync), but you can use the free MultiIconMover from Cydia to move as many icons as you want at a time. Icon layouts are preserved when installing, so you’d just have to move the icons to the pages you want, and it would stay that way until you moved it to another way.

  102. by wilws, on May 18 2010 @ 11:17 pm

    @Xuzz149 So itunes will put the icons back where they were if I sync?

  103. by Xuzz149, on May 18 2010 @ 11:54 pm

    @wilws Nah, it just disables that part of the sync completely. Nothing is changed.

  104. by demonwares, on May 20 2010 @ 1:27 pm

    Great app, would be awesome if you could “password protect” scrolling up. I have LogMeIn, eBuddy, Skype, and others with “remember password” which is not that safe if I get my phone stolen or lend it to someone.

    It would be awesome if you could add the apps with sensible data above all other apps and that page could only be accepted by scrolling up and a passwd pop up appearing.

  105. by Xuzz149, on May 20 2010 @ 7:29 pm

    @demonwares There are extensions in Cydia that do password protection, but Infiniboard isn’t intended to be one of them.

  106. by mrhattttttt, on May 24 2010 @ 1:48 am

    Is it worth getting?

  107. by Skidodo142, on May 25 2010 @ 8:17 pm

    can this only do one page of scroll or all?

  108. by Xuzz149, on May 25 2010 @ 8:24 pm

    @Skidodo142 It can scroll all your SpringBoard pages.

  109. by XxjustinxXx, on May 31 2010 @ 4:39 pm

    can you stack them upwards.
