Hey Jcde7ago,

Which theme is this you are using with LockScreen Info ? Can you point me to it ?

The theme I am using does not have the double bar at top (2nd bar with time & date just below status bar) and since I am not they much of a tech guy, I have had not luck with importing the double bar into my theme.

Gruppled...its over at macthemes2 :)

You know, incredibly, I stumbled onto it while looking and been playing with it all night.

You can disregard PM.

Thanks ! :D

Mine only shows an email notification. No weather, no calender

You need to install a LockInfo theme (via SSH) along with installing LockScreen Info (thru Cydia)

Then you go into the configure.js doc (which is essentially a settings menu in text form) and decide what and how to display what you want.

In my example, I ssh'ed Gruppled LockInfo.theme into my themes directory.
Thru Cydia, I installed: Lockscreen Info, Lockscreen Clock Hide, 20 second Lockscreen, and Smaller Wide Sliders.

Yeah I finally got mine to work but it's only one event from the calender. nothing else. Could using notifier at the same time screw that up?

If you are using a theme with LockScreen Info, DO NOT put a check mark on "LockInfo" in Winterboard.

Just check mark the theme. But you have to configure what shows using configure.js

Have no idea about Status Notifier (is that what you are referring to?)

Yeah, im not sure what im doing so if i have to SSH things in then ill just skip this thing. It is cool but i dont want to mess things up. Even in Cydia i only have lockscreen info and none of that other stuff in my source for this thing.

Then just buy Intelliscreen for $10.

Only reason I used the "free" ones is I like the challenge, plus you learn alot.
When I started with this JB stuff, I knew nothing. First one step, then the other and pretty soon you can go into a file and fix it to do most anything you want.

Remember, this stuff is all over Google. You can read about how to do all of this, just take it a step at a time.
 
A quote from Jay Freeman (aka Saurik, creator of Cydia and pretty much the jailbreak Jesus if the Dev Team are the Gods):

Originally Posted by saurik View Post
IntelliScreen is a buggy monstrosity of doom. I get reports every single day about IntelliScreen issues. It simply crashes /a lot/, and sometimes it puts you into a state where you have to restore. Personally, I find this unacceptable.

To handle situations of buggy extensions, I designed Mobile Safe Mode. If SpringBoard crashes (and it has to crash: seriously crash) then you will get put into Safe Mode with all extensions disabled. This is a really awesome feature and really saves the day when an extension goes nuts.

Unfortunately, IntelliScreen seems to have been relying on the fact that their (incredibly buggy) product would crash and SpringBoard would /usually/ restart, and no one would really notice. In response to all this, they want me to modify Mobile Safe Mode to give their program a chance to sort of work again.

Personally, I don't really believe in that model: they should just fix their software. It is really important that you be able to get into Cydia to be able to uninstall their extension if it doesn't work, and all of their models of "what about if it crashes twice in a row" don't solve the problem of extensions that only crash when, for example, you try to do something important.

Besides, there are all kinds of extensions that are out there: WinterBoard, Dock2, QuickGold, from a bunch of developers, and IntelliScreen is the only one that has common, persistent issues. I finally got mad at them yesterday and removed them from the Featured page as they are simply refusing to play along with these safety nets.

Today I'm going to push an update to Mobile Substrate that clarifies the wording in that dialog box to make certain users understand that this is an issue /with the extensions/ (and probably say "likely IntelliScreen") and has absolutely nothing to do with a failure in Mobile Substrate.

You guys can keep recommending Intelliscreen if you want, but saurik's stance (and a lot of other people's, for that matter) on Intelliscreen still hasn't changed. LockScreen Info + a theme is far, far less resource intensive than Intelliscreen. It also won't kill your battery like Intelliscreen.

When the creator of MobileSubtrate, from which many, many apps run off of, including Intelliscreen, speaks, people should really listen. Head to ModMyI forums and check out the Intelliscreen forum..half the threads are people having issues with it.

Yeah I'm talking about status notifier. I got the sms part and email to work. Do I haveto edit a js file? the weather is the only thing I'm not getting now.(thanks for the help everyone)

As usual, you are correct and I agree, just giving an option. :D

You have to load a theme to go with Lockscreen Info (see earlier posts). The configure.js file is part of the theme.

Yeah I installed the matte UI screen, and got nothing but a piece of the calender.. I've got everything working with the gruppler one. just gotta get the weather corrected.

I just havent done the SSH thing and not sure what to do. Im not going to buy an App that sucks so intellescreen is out. I dont really NEED Lockinfo, it just looks good. But i dont need the hassle.

The only thing im willing to maybe use SSH for is i need to do something to my mobileinstallation in the phone(thats what ive been reading is the problem) because i cant backup my stuff on iTunes now. There is a patch in Cydia for 3.0 called installd patch but it didnt do anything to fix my backup problem. Mayube 3.1 will fix it. I hope so. Other than the backup problem, everything on 3.0 is working great for me.

Your signature doesn't say if you use Mac or PC.

I use Cyberduck (for Mac) and it makes SSH really easy. The hardest part of it is figuring out where the iPhone "puts" different things like themes, wallpapers, movies, photos, SMS tones (but you learn it pretty quick).

There are some good tutorials out there. The most important thing is to not just delete anything the iPhone needs. Any if I replace or alter any of the original Apple firmware or items, I always keep a copy of the original file.

To do themes, just open the iPhone files, navigate to private/var/stash/themes and just drop the new theme in. Once it finishes copying, you can get the configure.js back out to your desktop (keep a copy of the original) and start playing around with TextEdit (on Mac) to configure the display the way you want it.

I use a PC and i have instructions on how to SSH into the phone and i have WinSCP downloaded. Havent found any video on how to add stuff for lockinfo though.

SSH is just a matter of drag & Drop. The only thing that has to be SSh'ed is the theme. Then pull out the Configure.js and start making sure the various features are set to true & false to determine what features you want. Also just replace the original zip code with your zip code to set weather location.

So i just drop the animated folder i got from that website (or grumpler folderthat i just downloaded) it took us too(the link in the thread) and drop that into the themes folder on my phone? There is also a settings folder that i have on my desktop from that site (which i can assume is the the same configure.js)?

Should be Gruppled LockInfo Theme.

I think for PC, it looks like a folder. Drop the whole folder into private/var/stash/themes+some characters after themes (I think that's the correct path).

Once the theme is copied, open Gruppled LockInfo Theme/Bundles/com.ashman.lockinfo and inside there is the configure.js file. Drop a copy on your desktop. Save a copy of the original in case you mess it up. Find a text edit for PC (not sure what they use, maybe notepad ??) and open it up. To change most things you just enter or change "true" or "false"

There is a spot to enter a zip code in weather section. Then save it, with changes, and drop back into iPhone and override or replace original. Go to Winterboard, check mark the Gruppled LockInfo (but not LockInfo line) Restart phone, should load.

Good timing on posting that js file...thanks by the way


Excellent!! I got it!! Thanks for your help....looks great!
 
LockInfo and The Matte Nano Theme

I am pretty new to this theme thing....

I installed lockinfo matte and am using the nano matte theme...

But I can't figure out how to get a full calendar on the lockscreen...

I only see options for listing calendar events...

Was there a something I missed?

Also....where can I get the slider that is a small lock icon? I have found some tap sliders but they are all still big buttons?
