Hi, I have downloaded and installed the IntelliScreenX 6 tweak on my iPhone 4S running iOS6.1 jailbroken with Evasion. Videos etc. that I watched about this tweak say that it gives you access to quick settings such as Bluetooth and wi-fi in the notification centre. However I don't seem to have them and can't see an option in the settings. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

Hi, I haven't used this tweak

Hi, I haven't used this tweak in ages, though I did buy it. From what I remember you have to select to add the toggles either in the tweak settings, or you might have to enable them in the notification center I can't remember. But what I do remember is I didn't find the tweak particularly accessible, I have been looking for a good option to show toggles in notification center for ages, I did try sbsettings but again not very friendly with VoiceOver, at least the toggles weren't, the text for the toggle labels was shown totally separately from the enable or disable options for the toggles. So what you had was a long list of enable or disable buttons then the text for options like 3g, bluetooth wifi etc showing no relation to the toggle buttons. Unfortunately the author of sbsettings isn't two keen to make the toggles more VoiceOver accessible. If you want to access toggles quickly, a good option I found the other day is the task switcher called auxo, the toggles are VoiceOver accessible, though I did find the toggle text for each one a little confusing at first, I still haven't worked out if the toggle text shows you what state the toggle is in now, or what it will be toggled to when you activate the toggle, I think it might be different for different toggles, but the text is shown as you go over each toggle rather than by the side. the nice thing Is you can set up an activator action to show you the toggles page so you don't have to swipe to it from the auxo task switcher. You can also access the settings panel for toggles from the toggles page as well as just enable or disable them, and if you tap and hold on any icon in the switcher you can clear all icons at once, and it can either prompt you about this or not depending on what the setting you set for this is. You also don't need to set up any activator action to start using auxo just as an ordinary task switcher as it seems to integrate into the existing app switcher.

Hi Alex. Yep, I eventually

Hi Alex. Yep, I eventually found it under Notifications settings. It is actually accessible with VoiceOver, though the VO labelling is a bit strange. For example it'll say, "Wi-Fi off @2x", when wi-fi is off, and "Selected, Wi-Fi off @2x", when wi-fi is on. But they're certainly useable so happy enough. I'd say the same generally about IntelliScreenX overall, it's useable, if not elegant with VoiceOver. Funny you should mention Auxo, because I find that the toggles section is not accessible. All of the buttons just say "Button". I even tried labelling them myself, but weirdly, when I labelled one button, it gave that label to all of the toggle buttons! I don't have Activator, or know what it is really. Should I?

Ah, interesting

OK I've got to the bottom of the Auxo mystery. I did have toggles turned on and was on the right page etc. However, I had the "5 toggles per row" option switched on. When I switch this off and go to the default 4 per row, VoiceOver works. From what i can tell, VO is telling you the current state of the setting, not what you would be switching it to. Pleased to figure this issue out anyway. Thanks I'll try out Activator. FYI, another user earlier today recommended something called ActivAccess for Activator. Out of interest, what do you use, if anything, for extending folders?

Cool thanks. I have some

Cool thanks. I have some vision so never actually use the screen curtain, so that's not an issue for me. Yeah I have Folder Enhancer. The only problem I have with it is that when I have more than one page of apps inside a folder, I can't seem to move between pages. The three-finger swipe that you use on the springboard doesn't seem to work inside folders. Am I missing a trick? It's still good of course as it gives me 16 spaces in a folder as opposed to 12 on my 4S, and allows folders within folders. But the multiple pages would be nice.

Great thanks. That works, to

Great thanks. That works, to get me to the next page anyway, though not back again. It'll do fine, don't want anything complicated.

Winterboard accessibility with VO?

Hello Dave and others, can anyone tell me about the accessibility of VO with the JB app Winteroard? I am particularly interested in the sounds portion of the app, it stated that you could customize various sound settings? Can anyone comment on this?

Download SBSettings Instead

Hi Dave, I haven't installed this tweak myself, but if you want quick access to these things I recommend that you install SBSettings. This tweak is running very nicely in my iPhone 4S; I currently have quick toggles enabled for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Personal Hotspot and 3G, but you can choose from a large list of toggles and download many more from Cydia. Regards!
