Description I wanted a lockscreen that allowed me to see my wallpapers without much obstruction...this is what I came up with. I believe mr. megi is responsible for the original design...not totally sure though :/

The wallpaper shuffles through about 14 different pictures every 5 minutes. It also changes each time you unlock your device.

I made 3 versions...the first uses a transparent status bar, the second uses your default status bar, and the third uses your default status bar and clock. The first two require either springtomize or Lockscreen Clock Hide from cydia.

To add or swap out wallpapers...add them to the "Images/Backgrounds" folder in the theme. Keep the numbering system in that folder intact. If you use a .jpg...rename it to .png....it will still work.

If you change the amount of wallpapers in the folder...open the configureMe.js file and change the totalpics variable.


**You'll need to take a screenshot of your homescreen and place it in the theme folder with the name screenshot.png**

**Use Activator, GravityLockScreen, or some other tweak to enable swiping up to unlock**



Most of the wallpapers included came from here on deviantArt...so all credit goes to the amazing artists here.

There is a tweak in cydia called GravityLockScreen that will do this

Thanks, it works, but not really good with your skin. It moves whole lockscreen including the background image. It would be nice if would be possible to move just front lockscreen cover with wallpaper

Hi, what's that Abstergo/Animus logo at the top left for? Signal bars? May I know where I can get it? TIA.

One last question tho, did you use CleanStatus or something to change the color of your status bar's clock? Beautiful setup btw!

duy1124 [2012-05-28 08:47:06 +0000 UTC]

can you make the "slide to unlock" version, or make the "tap area" smaller, because I don't want to accidentally tap on somewhere at the bottom and unlock the phone.

Why you got Abstergo logo as operator? Don't tell me you're templar...

It looks like you're using the "Min. Android Lock (no clock)"...try using the "Min. Android Lock (statusbar)" theme.

It's not working for me... I put it the .themes in /private/var/stash/Themes.xxxxx/ then go into Winterboard and enable the one I want, but it's all stuffed up and looks like the normal lockscreen, but broken.

In a bit, reformatted again and used the Absinthe update that came out a few hours ago (2.0.1) and am about to try again, also, is Summerboard meant to be on or off? (I had it as off)

Vustom In reply to Vustom [2012-05-26 21:11:59 +0000 UTC]

I got rid of the clock by installing Lockscreen Clock Hide, now to fix the slider.. am I meant to be using Tap to Unlock or something...?

bblake In reply to Vustom [2012-05-26 18:15:33 +0000 UTC]

I think it will work if you rename all the images in the Bundles folder...just remove the @2x.

Vustom In reply to bblake [2012-05-26 20:51:27 +0000 UTC]

Okay, I removed @2x from all files and it almost works now, here's a screenshot of what it looks like now; [link]

You need the cydia tweak "lock screen clock hide"

I dunno...double check the BarBottomLock.png in the com.apple.TelephonyUI bundle and make sure it's named properly

Vustom In reply to bblake [2012-05-26 20:34:54 +0000 UTC]

Do I keep the ~iphone part in some of the file names, and what if there's an image@2x.png and image.png, do I delete image.png and remove @2x from the other one?

Vustom In reply to Vustom [2012-05-26 16:25:20 +0000 UTC]

And do I need to have anything else enabled in Winterboard besides the lockscreen theme itself?
