So I was talkin’ about SBSettings and speed before and had mentioned I might remove SBSettings and go back to Boss Prefs to increase system performance… well to see if it even does increase performance.

Well after not havin’ SBSettings installed, I’m sad to say the system is faster without it. Not by too much, but by enough to make to OS perform more like an unmodifyed iPhone.

It’s barely noticeable, but at those times when the system might lag opening an app or somethin’, it’s noticeable not havin’ SBSettings installed and having Boss Prefs instead.

I’m bummed that’s the case though because I love SBSettings and I hate Boss Prefs. I did configure Boss Prefs as my new double click home button action, so that I just click my home button twice and instead of my phone favorites coming up, Boss Prefs comes up. That part’s better than SBSettings’ swipe method (because SBSettings would always come up when it wasn’t needed). But Boss Prefs doesn’t include a brightness option, one of the most accessed things. And when playing music from iPod, double clicking the home button still brings up the iPod control, so that’s good. But for brightness, I have to go into settings in normal. Oh, and Boss Prefs does have the same hid icon control as SBSettings.

I may use SBSettings again sometime, because it’s so useful… but for now speed’s more important.

Peace, J
