PopOverActions Cydia Tweak Adds iPad Style Action Sheets To iPhone
Posted by Badri Tek on 09:23 with No comments
As per Apple, all its devices essentially have the same interface and that’s evident because the iOS is just the same across its iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. But if any of you have ever downloaded the iOS firmware manually from any website you would know that all the devices have separate firmware versions. This means that though these devices have the same iOS version, there are a couple of features which are exclusive to them.
Today in this post, I will be talking about an iOS feature, or I would say a visual feature, which is seen only on the iPad and not the iPhone or iPod Touch. On the iPhone or iPod Touch, when you tap try to set a picture as the wallpaper, an action sheet comes up. An action sheet is where you get a set of options, and in this case it is the one where you see Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen and Set Both options. Now on the iPhone or iPod the action sheet glides into the screen from the bottom, whereas when you do the same on an iPad the action sheet does not glide into the screen from the bottom and instead is shown in the middle as the screen is significantly bigger than an iPhone.
This iPad style action sheet is visually very pleasing and if you have already noticed that and wish to get the same on your iPhone or iPod Touch, I have the perfect solution for you. PopOverActions is a very lite tweak available on Cydia for FREE that replaces the iPhone action sheets with iPad style action sheets.
Now whenever you hit any action sheet button, instead of seeing the conventional sheet you will see an iPad style sheet.
There is no settings page for this app, so once its installed there is no way you can disable it unless you remove the tweak completely from Cydia. But according to me, if you install it once there is no reason you would like to switch back to the previous action sheets.
