Curious to know if any updates are expected to be released any time soon to fix the bugs this app has with 3.01 or would it be better to downgrade to 3.0 just to be able to have it work correctly???

As much as this app rocks I have 2 major problems, 1 of which was said to have been fixed earlier in this thread. I have the iPhone 3gs w/ os 3.01. #1: I want to have apps I have in dock hidden from my springboard and although It was said earlier in this thread that apps hidden from the springboard with "poof" will show up in dock, this is the the case but as soon as I try to open the app from dock the phone freezes and goes into safe mode.. I've used both poof and bossprefs to hide my apps with the same results. #2: I want to be able to create new folders/categories in my dock but I'm unable to from dock prefs. Is there a way to do this through ssh'ing into my phone? I also wanted to know if there's a way to rename folders but if I'm able to to create new folders I can get around that by just deleting and creating new one with my disired names. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this app gets extreamly close to how I imagined customizing my phone when I jailbroke. Getting it working correctly would be awsome!! Thanks

Here is a screen shot of my spring board. For any one who cares.

Nate!! I must also concur with everyone. This is bar-none the best application I've got installed! It took me forever to configure it, and get all my applications moved into the default folders, and then when I tried to play some tetris, it crashed, and went into safe mode. I also cannot get anything to work much like everyone else. It just keeps going into safe mode. Same as everyone else, the weird trying to create folders thing, happens to me. I'm using a 3G 3.0.1

I've emailed you, from Cydia and it bounced back. Please be alive an well!!! =]

Nate, this is the greatest app on my iPhone, you da man. I'm actually trying to downgrade my firmware back to 2.2.1 for the sole purpose of using Dock. Which brings my to my issue.

As stated by some others, there are some issues with Dock on firmware 3.0 that weren't issues with 2.2.1. They are:
1. If you are in an application and attempt to launch using Dock, the phone restarts in Safe mode
2. If you attempt to launch an app that is not on your spring board, i.e. hidden apps with spoof or SBSettings, the phone restarts in Safe mode.

PLEASE HELP!!! This app allows my iPhone to be cooler and faster to use than anyone else's I know (that I haven't jailbroken already) Is there any way to get these bugs fixed?

Thanks again, I hope to hear from you soon!!

Hi Nate True, I just wanna say THIS APP ROCKS!!!!! well I have been using it ever since 1g first came out and I figured out how to jailbreak my iPod. It is just what I needed to switch in and out of my ipod's apps.

But I had just updated my ipod to ver 3.0 yesterday and of course I installed dock, and I got the same problems as shuntis did. But adding more info onto the problem I could not switch apps that were "hidden" with the program Poof, because I also use the program called "categories" to sort my apps out and it hides the app away from the home board, but then it would "break and go into safe mode". Also when I want to create new folders to put my apps into, I get to type the name of the folder in but when I press "done" the keyboard dissapears and half of the screen stays still then I would have to push the home button to exit or hit the back tab and it would go back to the previous page, and when I go back to dock prefs no new folder was created. But if you could work on these problems and get the ver 3.0 dock working, it would be the GREATEST.
By the way I have the iPod Touch 1st generation, and these problems did not happen on the previous versions.
Thank you very much nate true!!!!! d(^__^)b ~thumbs up

I am having trouble with this on my iPhone 3G S running OS 3.0, I can launch apps from it when not in an application already, but if I am in an application it breaks and goes into safe mode. It was also slowing down my phone a bit so I've removed it for now. It's a shame because this was exactly what I was looking for :(

It really looks great and I love the concept, but I can't create categories. I have a 16GB 3GS iPhone running OS 3.0.
In the Prefs I have: Sponsor / Dock Prefs / Sunbursts / Categorize Apps / App Config / Apply Changes.
The only thing I can't think of is to go in the "Uncategorized" category, then I select an app, then there's "Make a new cat" at the top, but when I enter the name of the cat, "Game" for instance, nothing happens. I can't confirm the new cat, and if I hit "back" the new cat is not created...

Categories is also an app that's running on my springboard and dock doesn't work well with that app at all. Everytime I go to setup categories in Dock it only gives me the option to dump the entire "Category" into it's category. What's the point of Dock when it won't play well with others? The concept is great but if I can't put the apps in my "Category" categories into "Dock" categories then it's worthless to use Dock.

Nate, I had a great suggestion for a possible easier and more intuitive way of navigating the dock app.

1) you slide your thumb from the bottom up to launch the dock just like its current form.

2) you release your thumb from the screen. and the dock stays active. doubletap any grey area and the dock disapears "or" launches whatever its highlighting (for an app).

3) you swipe your finger from left to right or right to left and it SNAP moves whatever icon you are on 1 unit. so you wanna go left a few icons, swipe swipe swipe.

4) the same swiping technique to go up and down directories. like you swipe upwards on games, and games then pops up. the key difference is you don't have to hold your thumb down, everything is locked on screen until you doubletap to either launch or minimize the dock.

This would eliminate a ton of user issues. Here is where I have the most trouble.
a) when I try and launch a game or a prgram that has a hefty list, just releasing my thumb to activate the app sometimes moves the icon, its near impossible to keep the dock still on a large list and release your thumb... unless you are a surgeon.

b) like the person above said, having to navigate your fingers all the way to the side of the screen is really difficult and not very user friendly. by using my method of locking the dock open and swipe moving 1 at a time you are guaranteeing that everything always remains centered. you swipe from center. you double tap center. etc. total elimination of the side thumb not center issues.

c) I see 100% accuracy with launching apps by using the dock locking method, its virtually impossible to accidently launch the wrong app.

hopefully you'll take my suggestion in consideration :)

Absolutely awesome app, probably my favorite so far! I love that you made it work with Poof.

My only request would be to, if its possible, make the left and right scrolling scroll a touch farther with smaller movements. I generally use my thumb when one-handing my phone, and hitting apps that require that I move my thumb to the edge of the screen is really difficult.

For now I've resolved it by just breaking up categories further (games 1 and games 2, for instance), but having to move less distance on the screen to get from one end of the app icons to another would be awesome.

Again, fantastic app!

Could be the "Categories" Killer.

A few suggestions.

1) release a new dock version immediately that allows the *Poof hidden icons to be displayed. For me the program I want to use (dock or categories) is the one that allows me to hide all my icons on my springboard so I don't have to scroll 16 pages of icons. if I am using dock to launch apps, why even have them on the springboard?

2) Program slows to a crawl when browsing large groups of icons "games" is a common one. Hopefully this can be overcome with optimization, but a good workaround would be to allow subfolder categories, ie: Games > Action > or Games > Classic / Games > Emulation you get the idea. This would keep the popups smaller and I've noticed a big speed improvement using this method.

feature requests:
I'd love the dock to be easier to launch? for me i keep hitting my dock icons on accident trying to get my finger on that 1 pixel sliver on the bottom of the phone? is there a trick to it? maybe some sort of double tap or side swipe? or touch the clock? maybe have multiple ways for people to launch it.. also figure that its launching in each program as well as on the springboard, so all programs may have a easier way of launching it? maybe doubletap home button?

sorry for the long comment :) keep up the good work! love it so far.

Whats up Nate, first off, GREAT APP - thanks for the quick release. A couple things. Could there be an option to switch between the CATEGORY style and the OLD SUNBURST on the bottom right corner. It was great when I could just roll my thumb and QUICKLY start an application. The new style is a little hard to navigate through. Frankly its a lot easier to swipe my finder and push on the standard Application icon. From looking at the comments on MMI and Appleiphoneschool.com a lot of people share my thoughts on this. The old style was AWESOME. Also, im sure you know from the comments above... the POOF apps are not showing, not a big deal.
