  • Easily Access Your Settings Homescreen Shortcuts Using This Neat Tweak

    Are you tired of always having to navigate to finding the right setting in your settings.app? with the introduction of a neat feature in iOS 5 which lets you add homescreen shortcuts you can have your favorite shortcuts on the homescreen accompanied by a real well decorated icon. You no longer have to turn your wi-fi on / off with the extra press of a button and you can access a few of the settings.app features right now but considering this is a free tweak I would say that it is very generous.

    I would like to mention that this tweak works on jailbroken and non jailbroken iOS 5 devices, the tweak will not work on iOS 4.3.3 so I had to borrow another iPod Touch on 5.0.1 for this tweak to work.

    Step 1.

    Open Safari and navigate to the following site without the quotation marks

    “brdrck.me/settings/”

    (sometimes you will get a 404 on the site, simply wait a couple of minutes or 5 – 10 minutes at max and it will be resolved.)

    You will see the following screen below once the site is open.

    Step 2.

    Choose the icon you wish to add to your homescreen and then tap on the bottom center icon of Safari and choose “Add to Homescreen” and it will automatically take you back to the homescreen without any further delay.

    Now whatever setting you tap on will be opened straight away without having to navigate through your settings.app page.

    Credits and huge props go out to Jeff Broderick who is the creator of the webpage and the magnificent icons used in this tweak, I give him a hearty salute for making my wi-fi on and off one button less (yes I am very lazy).

    I would like to add that this tweak was tested on an unjailbreaked iOS 5.0.1 iPod Touch 4G and it worked perfectly. As I said earlier the tweak is so simple a child can do it and unlike other tweaks posted here Jailbreak is not a must and iOS 5 is mandatory for the use of this tweak.

    Post in the comments below on how helpful you found this tweak and whether you would like to see more like it in the future.
