As we all know, Cydia is a wonderful application that you get when you jailbreak your iPod Touch or iPhone that allows you to access themes, tweaks, and third part applications, majority of which are absolutely FREE!! However, the biggest downfall with Cydia is that it takes crazy amounts of time to load, causing frustration and headaches to the jailbroken community. This tutorial will show you how to make Cydia load faster with just a swipe and a click!

As stated in the video, this is only meant for if you were recently in Cydia and something happened (i.e. iPod crashes or resprings) that caused you to have to exit out of it. Now, suppose you want to get back into Cydia, and since you were just in Cydia a couple moments ago, you know there are no new packages or themes available, so you don’t want to have to wait for Cydia to completely load everything. That’s where this will come in handy and be a priceless asset to you jailbroken iDevice.

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

To this

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.

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

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!
