So, this morning I planned on giving a great detailed article over how to change system strings with pictures and everything but unfortunately, my iphone froze and I’m in the process of completely rebooting. However, I can still take you through the steps just without pictures. Sorry guys! This is the EASY WAY WITHOUT A COMPUTER!!!!
The system strings are the “Slide to Unlock” , “Slide to Cancel”, “Slide to do whatever else.” With the help of iFile (click to see info) and a Cydia app, you can now change the strings to say whatever you want i.e. “Welcome KC!”
Things you will need:
Cydia, iFile, Slide to Unlock Killer, Winterboard
- First what you want to do is go into cydia and install iFile.
- After installing that, add new source (http://cydia.touch-mania.com)
- Then search for “Slide to Unlock Killer” and install that
- Next, go back to your homescreen and click on iFile. Go into settings and turn on Hidden Files. Next to the very beginning of the folders and follow this: Var/Stash/Themes/EntriegelKiller
- Once you’ve done this, choose your language (Most of you will click on “En”) Follow this after EntriegelKiller: Folders/Springboard/En.lproj/Springboard Strings
- Once the page with text shows up this is where you will change your strings. You can kind of read through them to understand which ones are which. I do remember that the second one about user_lock or something is the “Slide to Unlock”
- To edit these, click on edit in the top left and put your cursor in between the ” ” to the right of the strings you want to change.
- After typing your text, delelte any spaces between the ” ” i.e “Welcome KC! “<<<–you would make it look like “Welcome KC!”
- After you’ve changed all the strings that you want, click save.
- Go into winterboard and turn on Entriegel Killer and let it refresh and now your system strings should be changed.
Any questions or comments, leave in the comments section!
