iPhone settings icons

With iOS 5, shortcuts to settings directly from the home screen have become available to the iPhone.

Settings include Bluetooth, WiFi & screen brightness.  In my testing, brightness works on iPhone 4, but not iPad 1.  It's a bit slow & limited compared to what Android users have had since the first release, but it works, & it's a step forward.

Screen shortcuts to Web sites continue to work as before.

How to:

1. The apps:

• iFavorite app: free & paid versions. Only difference is the number of icons provided.  In my testing, the facility to create icons from user provided images is highly unreliable.  Update 29Nov2011: V1.4 "Photo import error" fixed.

• aHomeIcon app: paid version only. Haven't tested it.

2. Web sites

• Jeff Broderick Web site at: http://brdrck.me/settings/.  Best laid out & so easier to use.  Best looking icons, YMMV. Asks for a donation.

• iPHONEZA Web site: http://iphoneza.co.za/IconSettings/.  More functions than Jeff Broderick.
