Just downloaded the Clock and Calendar plugin for Lockinfo a few hours ago. Works fine, but the date doesnt change. Its 12:53AM now, so its November 12th, but the plugin still says November 11th!?
And 12 is highlighted on the calendar.
Turned off clockhide to show you guys.
Its the 12th, but the dates still stuck on the 11th when i originally downloaded the plugin!

What's the method to get the smaller clock on this without WB? I'm going to give all native rendering a shot.
I also got the new calendar plug and it looks ugly...anyways to modify the width of the heading? also since it has the time, how do I get rid of the original time stamp in the center of the iphone?
Also, why does my plug-ins cut off llike this

I have the invisible lock, but the plug-ins still get cut off where the old slide to unlock used to be. I also tried the mini slider and it did the same....

Mac OS X is UNIX; case matters. What you meant to say is
Code:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/TelephonyUI.framework/That having been said, this is awesome! I've been able to tweak the headers the way I wanted them to look, create my first theme, etc. Now, of course, I'm hooked!
Is there a way to move the "slide to unlock" n pixels further down the screen, or to remove it entirely?
(This Lockinfo thread seems like the place to ask...)
Having that big green battery in the background doesn't look nice with the Lockinfo screen. Kind of looks funny with the Weather/Calendar back there. Besides, the fact it's charging is on the status bar anyway.
So...I'm looking for a way to hide the charging battery in the background. Anyone know a way of doing that?

In /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/ you will see a number of files called BatteryBG_##.png. Those are the images for the Battery charging at several levels of charge states.
You can create a symbolic link to your /var/mobile/Library/LockBackground.png image to replace those files.
You'll probably want to back up all the files that are already there somewhere (I just add a .bak to the end of the file name) and then link the old file names to the LockBackground.png file. Then when charging it'll load that.
I'll see if I can come up with a quick shell script for you.
EDIT: Done! Any other Unix geeks want to double check this for me? I think it'll work, worst case scenario though I don't think it'll do anything
Code:
#! /bin/bash
cd /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app
for n in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
do
mv BatteryBG_$n.png BatteryBG_$n.png.bak
ln -s /var/mobile/Library/LockBackground.png BatteryBG_$n.png
doneYou need to copy and paste that into a text editor and save the file as background.sh. Then you copy that onto your phone and from the command line run
Code:
chmod +x background.sh
Code:
./background.shI think you'll be good to go then. You can check if you have iFile and see if you should see the .bak files as well as the links for the images to your lockscreen background. The good thing about using Symblinks here is that if you change your lock background this should always match. Sound good?

Talked to David Ashman earlier today. This is a known bug and the fix has been submitted to the repo. We should see it today or tomorrow! Great dev to work with!
is there a way to display something different on lockscreen vs on homescreen? for example like display full calendar by month, cal events, and weather..and on homescreen display mail/SMS/missed calls?
Not currently, but that's a clever idea. You should email the dev and see if it's possible.
My problem with this app is that emails will not show up on the lock screen. It always says my mailbox count is 0, unless I know I have an email and restart the phone. Then the mailbox count will be accurate.
I found that if I install Winterboard and use a theme like Gruppled, my mailbox count in the lockscreen will work perfectly. I have no idea why this would be.
Anyone else having this problem? I've restored my phone several times and the problem persists. The LockInfo settings panel also tends to crash for me fairly often.

Best bet here would be to contact the Dev, but he's going to want a Syslog. So install that on Cydia if you haven't already and then run it for about a day and then send it to him.
With that he can check to see if it's trying to access your emails and failing or whatever the issue may be.
thanks! i just fired off an email to the dev.
id like to split up the plugins that way because some people actually use a pin code to unlock the phone. keeping sensitive info inside the homescreen rather than on the lockscreen would give the user more flexibility.
i dont know how simple is it, but a toggle in each plugin to pick whether to put on lockscreen/homescreen/or both would work. i hope that doesnt require too much coding since it already offer to display on lockscreen and/or homescreen.
Yea, I think he could have it check whether it's rendering on Homescreen or Lockscreen and then hide or display sections accordingly... I think... Although, it may not be that simple.
Also, the sensitive info thing is why I like that it doesn't have the "features" intelliscreen has that let you open emails from the lock screen. I don't mind showing a subject line, giving access to the entire email is another thing.
ahh ok, i thought lockinfo allows you to display the full email/SMS.
David responded back to me quick, he said a couple people have requested for this feature and its on the list to be done, but no timeline yet.
It does display full SMS, not email. I actually could do without the Full SMS display, but I guess when you get an SMS message it normally pops up in full on the lock screen anyway.
ViViDboarder, thanks man! Your reference to the /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app has given me an idea. I probably won't want to change the original files, but using Winterboard to do the replacement should accomplish the same thing while being easily reversible. I think I saw quite a few battery themes on Cydia so I'll probably yank one of those to figure out how. Also, cool code.
I agree with OhioLefty. Support on this forum is awesome!
Thanks again!
Oh totally! But I would definitely recommend using a Symbolic link to your LockBackground anyway, and putting that in winterboard. That way you will not have to update it every time you change your lock background
It's easy to do on a Mac. You just copy and paste an Alias to the LockBackground.png. Then you can rename it to fit all those file types and use that in your theme. You can even just modify my .sh script I wrote to do that part automatically, but it's a sure thing if you do it by hand I suppose. i actually turned mine off where it will only show the person that sent you the SMS.
hey guys, I just updated my phone to 3.1.2... so now I have to pay for LockInfo? I was just using it for free an hour ago. When did David start charging for this app? Is there a way to get it free again since I was using this when it was in beta?
We were all using it for free when it was in beta (
this is a lockInfo thread)David put a ton of time into this extension. It's worth the $4.99 he is asking for it.
Anyone else getting the following on their LockInfo screen for weather:
Hurlwood, YOUR CITY HERE: TEMP, ect.
For me, I have:
Hurlwood, Lubbock: 66.
How do I get rid of the Hurlwood???

Having a couple of problems lately.
First off, my weather won't update. No matter what day of the week it is, it shows Friday as the first day and a high of 62 and low of 55. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deactivated, reactivated, changed the city in my default weather app... Nothing will change it.
Second. After installing and trying a LockInfo theme and deciding I didn't like it, my Todo plugin no longer works. It's back to the "Native rendering not supported". Same thing as above, nothing I try fixes it.
Thanks for any suggestions.
