Homepage Scrolling and Icon laylout like Default Apple - iphone

Is there a way i can create the same layout as the apple homepage screen?
I want to create a app with 50 icons, and you can scroll right to see the rest, or scroll left to get a custom search page for something.
I'm trying to find an example of how i can use Page Control and place my icons so they scroll like the apple app page.
Any assistance?

You should take a look at Facebook's Three20 library
http://three20.info/showcase/launcher

Page controls are in fact UIScrollView with pagingEnabled set to YES.
read the apple doc on UIScrolView !

Just be aware of:

Any way to make a checkbox able to be 'tabbed' to on an iPhone?

On a computer you can easily tab through HTML checkboxes on a website, but is there any way to make it so that on an iPhone when you hit the 'next' button it goes to a checkbox? I've noticed it'll go between text boxes and drop down menus, but it won't do it for checkboxes or clickable buttons. Is this an issue with the iPhone, or is it something I can change on my website?
Can you please be a bit more precise with your question. And if its the size of the checkbox that is a concern which makes it non tappable, then as suggested by the user interface guide of apple ios, please make the size as 44x44 to make it tappable. Well thats just a suggestible size and I believe a 25x25 size may solve your issue.

What is the simplest and the fastest way to make manual for the iPhone app?

I have developed some app and want to add some manual for it. I mean, that there is button "Info" in the main menu of the app, so pushing this button, will appear that manual with text and images. I just need advice for the optimal solution, thanks.
I recommend using a UIWebView for this. It allows the simplest way to customize the view fully in terms of fonts, images, layout, etc. Just write an html file, add it to the project, and set it as the page for the UIWebView.

iPhone SDK - what is this control? Is it custom?

What is this control? Or is it something that has been custom made? I see it in the Twitter and several other applications. I'm referring to the two triangles, and if you've ever used them, they refresh the view below them, usually going through a list of content items.
(I'm not referring to the navigation controller with a back button)
They are UISegmentedControls with custom images and the style set to UISegmentedControlStyleBar.
Its right there in Apple's NavBar sample code. You have the entire source code for the project. Search for NavBar within the Documentation and API reference item under the Help menu of Xcode 4.

How can i make a bottom toolbar with jqTouch for my webpage

I'm trying to make a iPad like toobar at the bottom of my webpage, using the free jqTouch framework. Here's an example I was trying to copy off (first random iphone image i googled for).
Now, a previous StackOverflow question sorta answers it .. but i'm not sure how to extended that answer to include
4 or so sections (eg. friends, person logged in (if they are), etc.)..
Keep that toolbar at the bottom, no matter what. The middle content is scrollable. but the header and this footer should always be visible.
Can this be done?
Actually your link won't help you at all because position:fixed isn't supported in Mobile Safari and brokenly supported in Android. You are going to need a plugin like iscroll, and some fixed positioning, it a bunch of work to get it all working together. However fear not, if you are not interested in going through the pain of developing this yourself, people have done the work for you. See the DataZombies fork of jqTouch, and you can see that in the demo he has a working bottom toolbar (with Badges even!)
To include a tab bar in jQTouch, you'll want to download a later version of jQT than r109, the default package from their homepage. Go to its GitHub to grab a later version of source.
Then, take a look at this post:
Fixed header in Jqtouch, and this demo: http://demo.lvengine.net/mobileuplink.
i'm working on my version, to add a fixed tabbar on jQtouch
http://www.itabbar.com
it's working with jQtouch, iScroll and the iTabbar
this work with the latest jQtouch version
Here a online demo (only Safari and Chrome for desktop browser)

iPhone - use the Featured Tabbar item image with custom title

I would like to use the "Featured" tabbar item image with a custom title. I have gone through the various questions on SO regarding this and looked everywhere in the SDK frameworks but could not find the PNG for this item. I am using IB to initialize the tabbar and it is a tab-based application.
Can someone please help me out, where can I get that image or if using IB, how can I use that image with a custom title.
Thanks
You can't use the featured icon (or any other supplied icon) with a custom title. Apple intends those icons to only ever be used with the title it's paired with...
Apple have been quite touchy with this topic in the past, even going as far to reject one application because it's icon for "time" was too similar to Apple's icon for "Recents/History".

If you start using Apple's icons, eg, the featured icon with a custom title that isn't "featured" then you're going to have trouble with the review process.
