3GS on 4.1 currently. Everything about the theme works perfectly except the slider
 
iOS 4.1 on a 3Gs

Ok. Looks like the image names for lock screen on 3GS has been updated... iPhone 4 is unaffected. I think your fix is to rename the file names to the new names, which I don't know. Googling may help :)

EDIT: a friend of mine just got the theme onto his 3GS and everything is working out of the box... I guess the image names haven't been changed...
 
I got a question for those of you on 3G/3GS: Did SlantedLock 1.5.4 work for you right off the bat after you SSH the package onto your phone? (Meaning, you did not have to do any tweaking like changing images or renaming files to make it work.)

kathie63, you got PM.

Mine didn't.

Everything installed Ok but the lock slider did not change. I had to install "Transparent Arrow Sliders" and "No Slider" and then fiddle with changing the "Slide to unlock" text right into "No Slider".

Which phones and OS are you guys using?

I'm on 3GS with iOS 4.0.

Edit: Btw: "No Slider" puts com.apple.telephonyUI inside "Folders" instead of "Bundles" and calls it "TelephonyUI.framework", could that be it?

This might be a possible fix for others. I have just done this and see no difference on my iPhone 4 on 4.1. I do recall reading Saurik's theming guideline and the Bundles approach is the preferred method, but whatever floats your boat I guess.
 
Hey Claude, where do we go about doing this?!


I think I finally found what has always been something I felt a bit lacking to my SlantedLock design. The numbers seem a bit... flat and missing something.

I think a little bit of outline stroke makes all the difference. See the screen shot and compare it to the ones in the first post. The time and date are much more pronounced.

Here's how to get the strokes. In your CSS file:
- Add "-webkit-text-stroke:1px #666666;" (without quotes) to: div#hourbox, div#minutebox, div#secondsbox, div#ampmbox, div#datebox
- Add "-webkit-text-stroke:1px #034f6d;" to: div#monthbox

Use #000 instead of #666666 if you want a black outline.

Easy peasy, huh?
 
...but whatever floats your boat I guess.

Didn't mean to upset you.
I just wanted to share with you how somebody else made it work for 3GS owners.
If it was not kosher enough for you or not, was besides the point.
 
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, but I keep getting a black lock screen with a file does not exist message on Safari for the config.html.

I am installing Slanted Lock and Lockscreen Clock Hide straight from Cydia. I am on Iphone 4 with the newest greenpo1son jailbreak.
 
First I want to commend you on a great lock screen. I like it quite a lot.

One small thing .... is there a way that we can have the original Battery Charging background when we are charging the phone? When my battery is charging, I still see the SlantedLock lockscreen. I believe I have to add BatteryBG somewhere, but I'm not too knowledgable.
 
Great work on SlantedLock! Kudos!

I dunno if anyone else has experienced this, but I noticed something strange on my iPhone4 since I installed SlantedLock. Every so often, pushing the home button while the phone is sleeping will not doing anything, eg. the screen will not light up. If I push it again, it behaves as normal.

I know I'm pushing the home button hard enough because i can feel the click. Seeing as the phone is a month old and it just started happening after i installed SlantedLock, I'm guessing this has something to do with it.

Double check you have "file:// for MobileSafari" installed on your phone. Go to Cydia and perform a search for it. If you see a green check next to it, it means you've gotten it installed. Also, the link you put into safari MUST BE EXACTLY how I typed it. CASE SENSITIVE.

Try turning off SlantedLock and continue use for a day or so. See if you experience the same issue.
 
Missing "Slide To Answer"

I installed Slanted Lock yesterday and LOVE it ... but then found I don't have any "Slide To Answer" options during an incoming call. I just have the little padlock icon. This isn't really what I want on my incoming call screen (but is what I want on the lock screen).

How can I change this back?

The pad lock is going to be the sliding icon since the old blocky button has been replaced. You can restore the text though. Edit the file "SpringBoard.strings" with notepad or something. It's under "Bundles/com.apple.springboard/en.lproj/"

I am a buffoon. There's three slashes after file: Doh!

Works great now. Thanks!
 
Hmm I get a size mismatch error when I try to download this from Cydia. Any idea as to why? I really like the look of this, but I'm not at a PC at the moment to do it manually. :confused:
Seems it was the repo giving the feedback, it's since been back up. Never mind heh, I'm loving it btw. Very nice work!
 
I really enjoy customizing my phone and this slantlockscreen theme is amazing. I don't understand how to get customer backgrounds. I mean, i read the instructions over and over again and well, I am a total NOOB to this. How do it use my own wallpaper? any help is greatly appreciated!

Download my halloween wallpaper and u will see how it's done. See my instructions on how to use the halloween wallpaper, too.
 
Claude, thank you! This is good stuff.

I'd sworn off lockscreen mods since iP3G. With your flexible and resource lite HTML lockscreen, I'm sucked back in.

PM me your PayPal id and I would be happy to slip you a few bucks.

Here's the results of a few hours of fun:
IMG_0100.PNG


Note: time colon seconds and AM/PM have a slight shadow...looks like a blur, but is tight on retina. Tweak to your wallpaper. Also, shadow on date number increased slightly for my wallpaper since it dips into planet highlight. Plenty of other minor .css mods made...why?, because I could :D


Hi sorry to trouble you. I have trying to get the time fit nicely within the display but cant seems to crack it. Could you please upload the theme for me including your background coz i think it looks wickedly nice. I know you already mention how to decrease the size but i just cannot figure it out. Yeakh I know i'm stupid ! I'm using iphone 4. Thanks again.
 
Is there a way to keep the location, temp, and sky condition and get rid of the sun/moon icon above it?
 
Does anyone know how I can get Suave HD icons and slanted lock to go together? When I enable the Suave icons it creates a slider of the lock screen...

In winterboard, put SlantedLock above Suave HD.
 
First off, great work !

I'm happy so far, but I don't really like the lock slider.

Do you happen to know how I can change it so that the lock slider looks like this ?
