Overboard 1.0: New Exposé for iPhone & iPod Touch

overboardHello iPhone users, overboard It's a new application that will help us view the pages on our device faster, and navigate quickly between them with a single touch. Unlike the Orbit we already knew, this one has new improvements, options, and customization.

Requirements :

To install it, everyone must have the following repository installed. To install it, go to cydia -manage-source-edit-add and add the following:

  • http://repo.beyouriphone.com

Once installed, make sure it was installed correctly. Then select Search and look for the following, and select the one shown in the image:

Overboard-01


Once installed, it will tell you to respringboard; once completed, you will find an icon like this on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Overboard-02


Okay, there you have it. If you tap it, it will appear like Orbit, and you'll see your apps. But the great thing about this new app, which is much better than Orbit, is that you can press the Home button and the app will open automatically. If it doesn't appear, simply go to settings and look for the option, as I show you in the image.

Overboard-03

Overboard-04


If you select the first three and the second one from the bottom, what this application contains is how you want to see the columns. If you tap on Columns, you will see the options for how you want to have them, as in the following image.

Overboard-05


The one that says Dock means that if you activate it, the springboard icon will be removed and it will only activate with the Home button when you touch it once or twice, and if you leave it as I have it, the icon will still appear and it will activate with the Home button.

Okay, now that our application is configured to our liking, we simply press Home and it will appear like this.

Overboard-06


That's it. This is really much better than Orbit because with this one you don't need to search for the icon and press it to get what's shown in the image above; you simply press Home and that's it. It won't appear. I hope this has been helpful. Greetings to all.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that this application puts 2 themes on Winterboard; this is the image in the photo above, which contains the following:

  • Overboard Simple
  • Overboard Black

I've already tried them, but I don't like them much. I prefer the original version, so you choose the one you like best. That's all 😉
