Pfft, lock screens, who needs ‘em anyway? With this latest tweak from Tom Zickel, you can say sayonara to that annoying lock screen for good. Of course for those of you who use your lock screen for various widgets for e-mail, weather, and the like, this may not be for you.
But for those who want to get right down to the action without delay, NoLockScreen fulfills its promises, but not without some caveats...
You might remember my post about TypoPhone 4 last month, which I think is a very nice iPhone lockscreen. Turns out a developer has decided to improve it by adding some colors and tweaking the layout a little bit. This new lockscreen theme is called Slanted Lock and is available in Cydia under the ModMyI repo.
The result is very nice and quite colorful. It displays the weather of your selected location, and the background changes with the weather. Very neat!
LSRotator is a new jailbreak app in Cydia that lets you rotate your iPhone lockscreen. Just like it works on your iPad, this tweak lets your iPhone lockscreen rotate according to your device orientation.
If you liked SBRotator, then this app will be a nice addition and will let you use your iPhone in landscape mode on the lockscreen too...
I found this awesome lockscreen on Cydia yesterday, with a little help from AtomicMufin on Twitter. It's called TypoPhone 4 and it's basically a lockscreen theme that shows the time and date in large bold letters. It also contains this cool unlock slider. You can download it from Cydia and activate it with Winterboard.
To have it look exactly like the image above, you'll also need to download Lockscreen Clock Hide from Cydia, which like the name suggests, hides the clock on your iPhone.
I think that's an awesome mod and it is without a doubt the coolest iPhone lockscreen I've seen so far. Now this thing just needs a little bit of colors to make it perfect.
What do you guys think? You like it?
SwitcherPlus is a new jailbreak application that brings your iPhone app switcher to the lockscreen. I have been trying it, and while it's still in beta, I find it very stable. As a matter of fact, I haven't had any issue at all with SwitcherPlus since I installed it.
When on your lockscreen, simply double tap the home button and the switcher will show up. You can choose to add some favorites to the switcher. These favorites will always be the first 4 apps that will appear in your switcher no matter what.
