Part 5: Creating the Categories

You need to create 4 categories for your iPhones using the Categories application. This post will show you how to do this.

Cydia - Categories Icon

1. Find the Categories application and tap it.

2. An about message will pop up. Just tap the OK button.

Categories

3. Tap the Add button in the top right corner.

Categories Home Folder

4. Type in Home and tap Add.

Categories - Icon for Home Folder

5. A screen titled Icon For: Home will come up, chose any icon and tap on it.

Categories Home(0)

6. You will now see a Folder which says Home (0) on your screen.

Editing Home Folder

7. Tap the Home folder and then tap the Add button on the top right to add applications to the Home category.

Home Folder - Tap to Add

8. A Tap to add screen should show up. Tap and add any application you want in to the Home category. This theme will have four applications per page, so do not add applications that you want to appear on your pages in to any folders. There will be a total of 16 applications that you should not put in to any folder. Here is an example list of applications you should not add:

  • Preferences
  • MobileSafari
  • MobileMail
  • MobileAddressBook
  • Music
  • Photos
  • Videos
  • Remote (if you have this)
  • Cydia
  • Winterboard
  • Dictionary (if you have this
  • Syncinablink (if you have this)
  • Rolando 2
  • Real Racing
  • X-plane extreme
  • Payback

Categories Home - Confirm

9. Tap the Done button on the top left once you are done. Another screen will show up asking you to confirm your apps, if you added the right ones then tap Done.

10. Now you should be back at the Categories home screen. The Home folder should say Home(x), where x is the number of apps you have in this folder.

11. It’s time to create the other folders. I’m just going to tell you what folders to create below, make sure you add every application in them except for 4 applications for each category (I listed apps I didn’t add in step 8, you can use it as an example. ) . There should be a total of 16 apps that are not added to any folder. Here are the other folders you should add:

  • Media
  • Apps
  • Games

12. Once you’re done creating the categories and folders, exit the Categories application. Make sure you have only 3 icons on your dock. If you don’t then hold down an icon for any application and put it on the dock.
