I want to know, a simple way (there has to be a way to make a basic as f toggle) to make an SB Settings Toggle in/on Windows.

What do I use to compile a .dylib? What if I just want to toggle to change Brightness (yes I know it exists) or toggle a setting (any setting, jailbreak or stock), how would I write like a plist or something for that?

It can't be sooo hard every single SBSettings Toggle is written in C++/Objective C, that's just ridiculousness...

Thanks for all the help!


P.S: Yes I know of BigBoss's tutorial, but again: I don't know C++/Obj C & disagree that, that is the ONLY way to make them.

Well for 1 dylibs can not be made on Windows and.
2 I dont believe that sbsetting toggles use dylibs.

Well for 1 dylibs can not be made on Windows and 2. I dont believe that sbsetting toggles use dylibs. Dont know much more then that. Sorry. :/

that's f-in tarded on apples side :/ or linux/microsoft's xD you should be able to make any kind of file on any kind of OS.

also: well then, you answered one of my questions.


now I need to know: how to make a toggle that just changes a setting from on to off, off to on?

i figure if I find the name of the com.dev.app then it should work, but what else do i type down, and in what kind of a file do i put it in?


would a simple .plist work?

[brc0703]

find SBSettings Scripty package in cydia.. its lets you make a toggle that runs a bash script to do whatever you want.. it has a bug in the Info.plist key "ShouldTransitionOut = 1" that will crash sbsettings.. need to change it to "ShouldTransitionOut = 0" for it to work.. theres a thread around here somewhere with more info about it..

[RypeDub]

Again: thanks man lol

I'll post back here if I have any problems

[RypeDub]

Well I'm checking it out: and there's a .dylib...

I also don't know what to do to the .plist to make it toggle my setting

[brc0703]

the toggle will execute a script that performs the task you want to do.. i dont remember the specifics but you need to write a bash shell script that goes in the commands directory of SBSettings and configure the plist to run it

[RypeDub]

well I'm going to work on that & eventually write a step-by-step guide

The default SBSettings toggles are written in Obj-C/C http://thebigboss.or...ngs-toggle-spec

BRC's method requires you to know bash.

again: how to i set it off to toggle a preference lol

i dont "know" bash but i know how to execute it

Not exactly sure since I haven't used what BRC is referring to. I have heard of it though.

[RypeDub]

well do you know how to toggle preferences with bash?

[ツ]

toggle what preference ?

[RypeDub]

any preference. let's say I want to make a custom wifi toggle (i know there is one, but how did they do that)

[ツ]

Well you can't do that with bash, that toggle would be written in Obj-C/C. BRC's method you can execute a bash script, If you wanna do more than that it'll need to be C

Well you might be able to toggle it with bash say if a cmd existed that could toggle wifi then sure you could execute that cmd in the script.

I really want a toggle for ScreenDimmer. I emailed Yllier about it but he hasn't replied yet. Is it hard to learn Object-C? Not really big on techy things like languages.

[RypeDub]

Well I'm be making some! I don't care if I don't know the language. I understand the concept of programming languages.

Im gonna download a C compiler and get to work!
