Barrel - 3D Effect on iOS homescreen (Official Video)

(If you don't yet see it in Cydia, it will be there in a few hours)

Barrel is a jailbreak tweak that adds a 3D icon effect to the homescreen. It is available through the Cydia Store for $2.99. The name is a play on "Beryl", which is both a mineral and the name of a Linux window manager that got merged with Compiz. Compiz was an inspiration for making this icon effect, if you haven't seen it's awesomeness in action, I'd highly recommend checking it out.

This video was made when there were only two modes, but I have continued to add more and more modes and there are now over a dozen.

Please do not pirate Barrel. The more people buy, the more time I can spend on making new modes as free updates for those who purchased, as well as spend more time developing other cool tweaks.

You can follow the developer on twitter at http://twitter.com/aaronash

Can you identify the song? :)

It looks like it lags though. I think I'll stick to the normal page swipe.

@utuber1195 It doesn't actually lag, it only lags in the video because it's capturing a massive 960*640 resolution video at the same time. Normal scrolling lags just as much in the video capture.

Just tried it on my iPod.. It doesn't "lag" like it appears in the video, it's actually completely smooth when you use it.

A person who buy iPhone don't understand importance of liberty but only importance of have a colorfull and useless status symbol.

Mass don't consider apple dictatorial restriction and this thing is its power.
