Today I will be showing you how to go from this:

Default Lockscreen

To this

Customized Lockscreen

Requirements:

1. Jailbroken iPod/iPhone
2. WinterBoard from Cydia
3. OpenSSH from Cydia
4. iGlassSol from Cydia for the sliders
5. (Optional) iFile from Cydia
6. An SSH client such as CyberDuck or WinSCP

Process:

1. Connect your iPod/iPhone to your computer. Go into Settings > Wi-Fi and select your Wi-Fi network. Copy your IP address. You will use it later.

Wi-Fi Settings Screen

IP Address!

2. Open your standard SSH client. Type in your IP Address for the hostname, “root” for the username and “alpine” for the password.

WinSCP start up

3. Hit Login.

4a. Create a folder on the desktop called Lockscreen. In that make an folder called Bundles. Inside that create another folder called com.apple.TelephonyUI.

4b. Inside Lockscreen create folder named UIImages.

5. Naviagte from /private/var/root to /private/var/stash/Themes/iGlassSol/Folders/TelephonyUI.framework/. Copy these files: bottombarknobgray.png, bottombarknobgreen.png, bottombarknobred.png. These are your sliders for unlocking, answering and turning off. Download them in the “com.apple.TelephonyUI” folder.

6. To get the clearness around the slider download this file and put it in the “com.apple.TelephonyUI” folder and download this file and put it in UIImages.

7. For a custom lockscreen background put a 320 x 480 PNG file in the Lockscreen folder and name it LockBackground.png.

8. (Optional) If you don’t want the slider text to show then copy this text:


“AWAY_LOCK_LABEL” = “”;
“POWER_DOWN_LOCK_LABEL” = “”;
“SETTING_LANGUAGE” = “”;
“SLIDE_TO_ANSWER” = “”;
“SLIDE_TO_CANCEL” = “Don’t slide the slider”;
“SMS_LOCK_LABEL” = “”;
“SYNC_IN_PROGRESS” = “Syncing… Unlock To Cancel”;

Put that text into a file and name it “SpringBoard.strings”. Create a folder inside the “Bundles” folder of the Lockscreen folder and name it “com.apple.springboard”. Then inside that folder create another one called “en.lproj”. Place the “StringBoard.strings” file in “en.lproj” folder.

8. Upload your Lockscreen folder into your Themes folder on your iPod/iPhone.

9. Go into WinterBoard and select the Lockscreen. And let it respring and you are done!

photo (1)Hate missing calls or texts on your iphone because you couldn’t hear the low ring or chime? You need a VOLUME BOOST!

Volume Boost from ModMyi is a great   tweak  for your iphone or ipod touch to improve  the volume quality.  One huge fallback of  the iphone is the low volume from the  external speakers. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has missed text messages and  phone calls because I was unable to hear  the ring or text chime.

photoLuckily, the developers of Volume Boost  have found a fix for this.  To install Volume  Boost go into cydia and make sure you  have the modmyi source installed  (http://apt.modmyi.com/) and be sure to  have winterboard installed.  Once you’ve  added the ModMyi source, search for  Volume Boost and install it.  After you have  installed volume boost, activate it by going into winterboard and turning it on. After the respring, volume boost will now be activated and you’re on your way to hearing better volume quality!

So you have jailbroken your iPhone/iPod. Now what? I will be showing somethings you should get in order to enjoy your iPhone/iPod even more! These are available from Cydia. Go into the Search tap and look them up!

Essentials

1. WinterBoard: This is the application that allow your to run all those cool themes you see!

2. OpenSSH: This allows you to dig into your iPhone/iPod’s filesystem from any SFTP client and add or remove things from it!

3. SBSettings: If you slide your fingers across the status bar a menu will drop down with this plugin. It has toggles for Wi-Fi, brightness, Bluetooth, 3G, and many more, allowing you to turn these things on or off instantly!

4. iFile: very similar to Mobile Finder which is a application that allows you to do what you can do on the computer with SSH: browse your iPhone/iPod’s internal files.

5. MxTube: Have you been offline without Wi-Fi or 3G and wanted to watch YouTube? Well with this program you can. When you are online with Wi-Fi/3G just download them onto your iPhone/iPod and view them later!

Themes

Once you have WinterBoard, you have the ability to install themes to customize the look and feel of your iPhone/iPod. Here are some must sees:

1. Leopard Theme

Here are the simple 8 steps:

1. First, download redsnOw from the link above.

2.Unzip the file and open it up.

3. Click on the redsnOw folder. Then, click on the redsnOw folder to the right. Sorry Mac users, but this link is only for Windows.

4. Then click on redsnOw.exe.

5. Choose the correct firmware for your iPod Touch 1g/2g / iPhone 1g/3g/3gs. Here is how to do it. Use the links below to download the correct firmware to your desktop so it’s easy to find.

6. After you have downloaded that, click browse. Click on the desktop and click the firmware that you just downloaded. It should reconize the IPSW file and then you click “next”.

7. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT INSTALL CYDIA IS CHECKED!!! That is the whole reason that you are jailbreaking. Then click next

8. Shut off your device and get ready. As soon as you click “next”, you have to immediately hold down the power button for 3 seconds, power and home for 10 seconds, and then the home until the next screen pops up or you hear that noise that says something has been connected.  This will be different for the iPhone 3GS.
