Hide the Dock and Statusbar On Your iPhone with SBSimplify

Do you remember Gi-lo, the iPhone developer we interviewed a while ago here? He’s part of the Eyedevs team, and the guys have finally started releasing their tweaks and apps on Cydia.

SBSimplify is a simple tweak for your iPhone / iPod Touch that allows you to hide the statusbar and the dock from your springboard. Simple as that, you just have to assign an activation method in the Activator settings (mine is “short hold” on homescreen), execute it and watch to springboard magically stretch to fit the whole screen.

The only problem is that the app is still uncompatible with Iconoclasm (our post) but Gilo told me that they’re already working on it, together with extended settings for customizing the behaviour of the tweak.

You can head over Eyedevs website here, follow them on Twitter or just search fro SBSimplify on Cydia.
