Tea LockInfo Theme by gruppler
Not crazy about the font, but why on earth doesn’t the iPhone do something like this by default? It’s fantastic.
It has always angered me that the iPhone displays NOTHING on the lock screen and yet it has all that space. I want to see some email, recent SMS messages, calendar items, weather… all of it.
Seeing something like this makes me want to jailbreak my phone.
I jailbroke my iPhone back when you needed to jailbreak to add applications.
How do you jailbreak the latest version to add this cool display to your phone?
If you don’t have a mac made (not necessarily purchased) since October then all you need is to get the latest version of QuickPwn to jailbreak your phone.
After that an application called Cydia will be installed on your iPhone. Launch Cydia and install the required updates. After that install Winterboard, SSH, and Lockinfo. I’d also install SBSettings (best app ever). Then you can get whatever theme you want, this one happens to be Gruppled.
My advice: don’t jailbreak, it’s not worth it
I ran this on a jailbreak version throughout last fall and had run it previously on my original iPhone. I found the jailbreak slows down your iPhone and generally screws with the reliability of many applications. Some may like it, but I haven’t found it worth the hassle.
Luckily these home screen pieces are supposed to be coming in an iPhone update. Hopefully these are some of the remaining features that will come with the final 3.0 software this summer, but I’m not holding my breath. In the mean time I’ll continue running the silky smooth build I currently have, and patiently wait for some of these ‘nice to haves’ to appear in updates.
