New Utilities: appLoad, setBanner, setCarrier

setBanner and setCarrier are command-line versions of Banner.app and MIM.app. Just give them one argument to set the banner or carrier, or no arguments to revert.

appLoad simply makes your Home screen update when you add a new application or WebClip without having to restart SpringBoard. It uses the new on-board Nikita mechanism.

All three utilities are in the Erica Utilities folder although I have not yet updated Erica Utilities to include them.

p.s. There’s also a “restart2″ utility that can restart SpringBoard even when you run it as mobile. I’m not sure how useful that will be in the long run but it’s there.

Hi Erica,

looking at your Installer packages for the iPhone at Ste Packaging I see the following:

Erica’s iPhone Utils 0.11
Erica’s Ported Utils 0.06
Erica’s Utilities 0.55

I’m not quite sure what’s the contents of these different packages.

Could you give me some hint on where to find information about them?

Thanks for your development efforts!

Enter an empty string and set it as carrier inside MIM. Then quit out. The carrier will not update until you leave.

If you use a space instead of a full empty text box, you’ll get the results you describe
