iOS 5.0 exposed some interesting things like custom URLs for the Settings App. Now you can type in a URL and go to specific screen or even turn things on. You can use our aHomeIcon App to create Home screen icons on your phone to quickly go to the screen you want (aHomeIcon -> Add -> Url : Enter the custom url)

Now you can quickly turn ON/OFF Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to conserve your battery life.

For jail broken phones the equivalent app would be something like SBSettings, BBSettings, Omnistat. But now you don’t need to jail break your phone to get the same functionality. I don’t know who the first person was who discovered the custom urls. I only twigged when I saw a large spike in downloads of my app aHomeIcon.
