GriP Log 0.1 for iPhone

This is a little iPhone Springboard app (actually it’s just a bash script disguised as an app) which will allow you to quickly bring up your GriP (Growl for iPhone) Message Log. This is useful for those of us who are using the Double Height theme for GriP, because the status bar disappears after 5 seconds no matter what you set it to.

I was inspired after I saw this blog post, specifically when I couldn’t get the SBSettings shortcut to work. Personally I prefer the Springboard icon because I only have to tap once instead of a swipe and a tap (yes I’m THAT lazy).

Installation

  1. Extract the GriPLog_0.1.deb file from the dowloaded archive.
  2. Transfer the DEB file to your jailbroken iPhone via SSH/SFTP or USB.
  3. Use a terminal program (either on your iPhone or via SSH from a PC/Mac) and browse to the folder you copied the DEB file to.
  4. Run the following command to install:  dpkg -i GriPLog_0.1.deb
  5. You should now have a Springboard icon which will bring up the GriP notification log.

I think this is GriPLog 0.1 from http://code.google.com/p/networkpx/issues/detail?id=175

@Trinitus01

Yes and no. All this app does is perform the GriP -m command to bring up the log. It doesn’t do anything special and was something I whipped together temporarily until something else more robust/usable was developed (which it looks like you’re working on).

U’re right. It’s all based on KennyTM’s amazing work :-) Btw nice icon!
