Since the Home Screen is something that iPhone and iPad users interact with every time they pick up their device to use an app, it would make sense that users may want to customize it a whole lot more than Apple allows out of the box.
Fortunately, a free jailbreak tweak dubbed Iconer by iOS developer CydiaGeek seems like it could be a rather useful add-on for anyone who feels that way, especially given the expansive list of options afforded to end users.
As CydiaGeek mentions in the tweak depiction, Iconer is effectively an all-in-one jailbreak tweak that combines features from many of the Home Screen-centric add-ons that he has released over the years. And as you’re about to see, that’s no joke.
Once installed, Iconer adds a dedicated preference pane to the Settings app where users will be able to configure a long list of options to their liking. Bear with us, as the option list is particularly long:
