SBPhoto is a tweak recently released in Cydia that offers iDevice owners the opportunity to add icons to Springboard for their favorite photos from the Photos application. SBPhoto uses the asset library system developed by Apple to allow us to add a shortcut to Springboard that, as soon as it is selected, opens a photo from the Photos application. Basically, we open SBPhoto, select the photo, give it a name and press the button Create Photo Icon and a few seconds after exiting the application we will have the icon available in Springboard.
SBPhoto will let you put icons on your springboard that will link directly to photos in your iPhone/iPod's photo albums. This will allow you to have instant access to your favorite photos! Icons are created in 3 easy steps. First select the photo from your photo album by pressing the "Select Photo" button. Then enter the caption that you want to appear under the icons. Finally press the "Create Photo Icon" to create the icon on your springboard. The icon will appear a few moments after exiting the app. The icons and photos are high resolution on retina capable devices. Compatible with iOS 4.0 and higher. SBPHOTO USES APPLE'S ASSET LIBRARY WHICH REQUIRES THAT LOCATION SERVICES ARE ENABLED FOR THE DEVICE AS WELL AS THE SBPHOTOTILITY APP.
In order for SBPhoto to work, we must have the GPS active because this is how Apple designed the entire system that allows access to the photo library. We can add in Springboard any icons we want on iPhone 4/iPod Touch 4G, they will be Retina Ready. SBPhoto is available for $0.99 in the ModMyi repo in Cydia.
