Is there a tweak that allow you to change the text on the page where it says "Enter Password"?
 
I have iFile and went to springboard but as a noob what exactly do I do?
 
in iFile:

/system/library/coreservices/springboard.app/english.lproj/springboard.strings

then use text viewer. find "ENTER_PASSCODE" = "ENTER PASSCODE";

change the bolded text in between quotations to whatever you want or delete the enter passcode. keep the quotations.

/system/library/coreservices/springboard.app/english.lproj/springboard.strings

then use text viewer. find "ENTER_PASSCODE" = "ENTER PASSCODE";

change the bolded text in between quotations to whatever you want or delete the enter passcode. keep the quotations.

Now that's quality help!

Not working for me.
 
Didn't work for me, and tried respringing, and then rebooting afterwards...but nothing, no change :(
 
Now it says Enter_Passcode

With the "_" on my lock screen :( I tried changing it back to how it was before and still has this line. Ugh

ok mines working now. U change the bolded wording as previously instructed, then turn off your phone only. Do not hold power and home button as I did before.

So I changed the bolded part and saved. Then turned off my phone. Let a few seconds go by and turned it on again. Works now. :)
 
Still hasn't worked for me, But maybe it is because I am putting a comma and an apostrophe in the line?? I changed the BOLDED text to "Go on, Go for it!"
:confused:
 
I find library and springboard but not the part where it says english
 
Yes. I can't find the string to replace what's mentioned above
 
yea sorry guys. that's the way I did it so I don't know how else to tell you. the comma should still show because all a string is, is a line of text. that's about all of any programming I can remember. but make sure you start in the root folder. the forward slash. and then just follow the path I've written out.
