I have installed activator on iphone 3g because power button is broken so I can’t turn it off/on. Can somebody tell me is there any option for solving this problem with activator? I saw many options in this app, but I’m not sure if I can change the power button for some other.
Thank you!

iPod Touch 2G
Jailbroke to 4.2.1
FLAC Player for playing FLACs

I want the iPod to function like my car CD player. Power off: the FLAC Player pauses and goes to sleep. Power on: iPod comes back to the FLAC Player screen and starts playing music from where it left off. Can someone tell me how to accomplish this?

I am having a problem with activator. I set the volume buttons up down and down up to change the tracks and have been using this configuration since iOS 4.3.3 came out. Now after upgrading iTunes lastnight and plugging in my iPhone 4 I can nolonger change tracks with volume buttons and when I hold down either button it does the activator setting and the volume up or down where it used to just do short presses to change volume. What might be going on and does any one know how to fix this? Thank you.

I have a jailbroken iPhone 3GS running the latest version of Activator. My headset button is able to pause and resume music but that’s it. Double tapping it doesn’t go to the next track, triple tapping doesn’t reverse the track, and then pressing the button once won’t pick up calls or hang up existing calls. This started happening after an upgrade I think. It definitely used to work with Activator but doesn’t anymore. Any guesses?

My home button is broken on my iPhone 3G (4.3.4). I already tried to make a hardware replacement but this failed.

Can I use Activator to overcome this problem ? And if so, can I jailbreak and install Activator without using my home button during the installation process ? Do you know of any other software solutions to my hardware problem.

Tnx for any help

Hi! I have installed this awesome tweaks and apps from cydia (Graviboard and androidlock XT to name a few) but I am having a hard time activating them. I have installed already the Activator, but the problem was it does not show on my Settings app. Do i have other way to activate the said tweaks or addons by not only using the Activator? I am currently using an itouch running on iOS 4.3.3. Any help and advice is highly appreciated.

I’m having the same issue.
I can no longer mute or decline calls

“Is it just me, or does Activator break the ability to double press the sleep button to ignore a phone call. I’ve looked everywhere I can think to look and I can’t find any other way to send a call directly to voicemail. I’m not looking for an iBlacklist type app to block calls from a certain number. I just want the ability to ignore various calls at random when it isn’t convenient for me to take the call or let it ring.”

In reply to Genesis. it's not in the App Store. You have to jailbreak your phone first and get it from the Cydia Store.

Anyone have issues with Activator and LockInfo?
Once Activator is with LockInfo, phone will keep crashing.

I have activator too but I have problem using the ‘Ipod Controls’ at lock screen. Regardless of my settings, it will not activate. However when someone calls me, it will suddenly ‘work'(only while the phone is ringing) if anyone have any clue of what’s going on pls help. I am on an iPhone 4 and I am using the smartscreen feature which override the usual apple double tap on home button to activate iPod control feature. Also I’m on 4.2.1

I have an underwater case for my iphone that does NOT have access to the volume or sleep buttons, ONLY the home button. Right now I have the home button set up on a short hold to open and close camera, but I would love to have the single press option to take a picture underwater, because underwater the touch screen does not work. Sorry for buying a stupid case… ha ha

any way to modify the plist to do this? @rpetrich are you able to add this feature? I know that this might be dangerous for people….if they forget to mark the home button for the close camera acton as well…. ha ha maybe a failsafe could be added? one option only, with two functions?

camera option: when app is open, single press to take picture, short hold to close camera app

or if I could edit the plist to do this myself?

please shoot me a mail if you have an answer to this problem.

@Offelia
Head into settings -> Activator -> Anywhere and choose a gesture like “slide in from screen bottom”. Then scroll down to the System Actions section of actions and you should see an option to have that gesture mimic a “Home Button Press”.

How can I set up Activator to have another button or gesture perform the same as the Home Button? I can’t find that choice. My Home Button on my crappy old 3G hardly works at all… very annoying.

@Kelly

Activator was never available through the App Store. It’s a mobile-substrate extension which requires your iPhone to be jailbroken. If that sounds complicated, know that all you need to do is check for a free guide on iClarified.com to jailbreak your iphone 3G, follow it to the letter, and then use the resulting Cydia app on your iPhone to search for “Activator”.

Note that jailbreaks are reversible by simply using iTunes to “restore” your iPhone. They don’t kill your warranty and are legal, but you’ll want to restore your iPhone before bringing it back to the Apple Store. However, since you’re on a 3G, I’m guessing your warranty has long since expired so that’s not really an issue.

Is activator still available through the app store? I can’t find it on my Iphone 3G

In reply to Angookie. Nope, sorry. It's @rpetrich who develops new features.

Can you make your own activator options? Like tilting the device to landscape will open SMS?

What about adding sounds to play when you press both volume buttons? You could combine that with take a picture?
