In my books one of THE most usefull apps for the iPhone is Categories. I have used previous versions prior to iPhone OS 2.0 and have been keeping everything crossed that it would make it across to 2.0.
It gives you the abilities to group applications into folders on your springboard. For example you might want group them like so:
What this then does is reduce your icons down from 7 on the spring board to just 2 folders which you click on to reveal the enclosed apps.
I have yet to install this and so cannot give you any feedback as yet but heres hoping its all good and can handle Apple Apps and Cydia/ Installer apps
Details below are from Sleepers.net
Categories v2.00b for iPhone OS 2.0 is ready for testing if there are any takers. I would like to get it out there a bit before putting it on high volume Cydia. Therefore, I am going to put it here for now. Those that install it should make sure they are ok with beta software that has not even undergone much engineering level testing.
This is for advanced users. In order to install this, you are expected to understand how to use SSH. If these instructions are complicated, you should wait a couple more days for the actual Cydia release which will be coming soon.
Install instructions:
1) Grab the deb file here.
2) SCP it onto your iphone in /tmp (or use wget)
3) SSH into your iPhone and type: dpkg -i /tmp/categories_2.01b.debPlease read the instructions inside the help button carefully. They can also be viewed here.
Also, anyone that is doing some testing, if you find serious issues, please try to get me detailed reproduction steps. Please no reports that are “it doesn’t work” or such. I need to be able to reproduce the problem(s) in order to fix them.
Finally, the updater code for Cydia has not yet been written. So I will not be able to send out an update until at least late Monday (pacific time) if one is needed.
