UPDATE: This is how you EDIT TEXT on your iPhone, such as "Slide to Unlock"

EDIT: the way I found how to do it is posted below (Post # 3)
Does anyone here know how to edit the text in the iphone through SSH
examples: slide to unlock, slide to power off... etc etc

I got the original package for all the iphone text which is SpringBoard.strings When you open this it opens in omni outliner and I edit what I want to be said instead. After saving it as .strings and hten opening that folder and saving the actual file to .strings extension I dragged it into
/System/library/CoreServices/Springboard.app/English.lproj

It asks to replace the other SpringBoard.strings and I overwrite it.

But When I checked my phone instead of changing the text I want it went to Apples Key text such as: AWAY_LOCK_LABEL instead of Slide to Unlock

I was able to replace that file with Apples original and everything went back to normal, but I want custom text anyone please?!?!!?

I ended up finding out how to do it on my own by guess n check. This is on a Mac.
Two ways to get the file:

1. Download SpringBoard.strings at this site: http://www.hacktheiphone.com/iphone_downloads.html (scroll down to get it)
If it comes as a zip on your desktop then double click it to get the actual file.

OR

2. open your iPhone through SSH and go to /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English.lproj
and drag the actual file --> SpringBoard.strings to your desktop.

Either way you should end up with a file that is labeled "SpringBoard.strings"

right click it and hit "open with"
choose other
search for text edit
It will then open it in text edit. It will give the key of each text line on the iPhone and the string for each text line in the iPhone. To actually edit what your iPhone says you need to edit the string only.
For Example:
To change the text "Slide to Unlock" on the lock screen, you scroll down to
<key>AWAY_LOCK_LABEL</key>
<string>Slide to Unlock</string>

What ever you type in the string where it says "Slide to Unlock" is what it will state on your phone.

If you want it to say "Open Now" Then the same two lines should look like:
<key>AWAY_LOCK_LABEL</key>
<string>Open Now</string>

Once you change all you want save it. Then drag that same file "SpringBoard.strings" , which is now edited to your customized text, back to the same place you got it through SSH in /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English.lproj
You will then need to restart your iPhone to see the effects.

I have found it is hard to find each key that you need so I recommend opening the SpringBoard.strings in Omni outliner as well. That is much easier to read and you can easily scroll through and see what text does what. But remember you must go back to text edit to edit it then save if you want it to actually show up on your iPhone.

Sorry if everyone already new this but no one could help me so I am guessing some do not... feel free to ask if you have any questions.
