If you’re interested in customizing your jailbroken iPhone’s locking experience, then you might take an interest in a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Lock Master by iOS developer leminlimez.
This tweak lets users tinker with animations and sounds that occur when locking your handset.
Once installed, you can head over to the tweak’s preference pane in the Settings app to configure it to your liking. Among the different things you can do here are:
- Toggle Lock Master on or off demand
- Disable Lock Master’s effects when you have Low Power Mode turned on
- Choose an animation type:
- Shrink
- Expand
- Slide Left
- Slide Right
- Slide Up
- Slide Down
- CRT TV
- Fade into off button
- Fade out of off button
- Genie
- Adjust the animation duration via a slider
- Adjust the fade extension via a slider
- Choose a lock sound:
- Default
- Old
- Windows XP
With these options, you can animate your device’s locking animation, adjust the animation’s speed and behavior, and even have your device play certain sounds.
When you install Lock Master, you are going to need to install a few difference dependencies manually if you don’t already have them. ElleKit tweak injection, for example, will be installed automatically with Lock Master if you’re using the Dopamine jailbreak, but you will also need to install Preference Loader to see the preference pane in the Settings app and Cephei Tweak Support to actually see the options within.
I mention the above fact because after re-jailbreaking my device to start fresh, installing this tweak via Sileo didn’t prompt me to install all the aforementioned dependencies; so learn from my trial and error and save yourself a little frustration.
The developer has also noted that Lock Master does not work with “semi-jailbreaks” like Serotonin due to requiring backboardd to be resigned. As it would appear, this isn’t the case on “semi-jailbreaks” as it is on full-fledged jailbreaks, so you’ll only be able to use this if you’re using something such as Dopamine, XinaA15 v2, or palera1n.
If you’d like to give Lock Master a try, then you can download it for free from the Havoc repository via your favorite package manager app.
