iOS 6 Concept

I am at work, but here is a youtube vid of it, if you want to take a look at that. IMO it is THE NUMBER ONE reason to jailbreak a device. I couldn't live without it!
It doesn't have the search bar, but that doesn't bother me much. Tapping home twice, from just about any screen, will get me the same thing, basically. Plus, I use Siri for most searches now anyway.

Just from the video alone I don't see much of a resemblance. It's all done on the lockscreen.
Everything done on the lockscreen is also doable inside iOS. You can be playing cut the rope and immediately get to all of that information with a downflick of the finger. Even if it was just the lockscreen, I am having trouble understanding how you don't see much of a resemblance, though.
Well, I look at that and I look at this. That is all lock screen based. This is all based around the homescreen(s) themselves and notification center.
If you mean graphically, we're using the same iOS graphics sure.
Nice idea 
It sorta follows the concept of Lion, where there is a dashboard and a mission control...

Yeah Mission Control would be a fantastic idea but with the size of our screen it'd be really hard to make it look good, if it all.

That's a possibility but the way I see it working would be a notification for your 3 most recent notifications, allowing there to still be room for Locations, Bluetooth, etc.
I guess in the worst case it would default to the last known notification icon if there wasn't enough room.
I think the way u've done it is quite elegant but if every app that receives notifications has a different top bar icon to say the same thing (a notification is waiting) it could get confusing quickly. A single uniform icon would serve the purpose just as well, perhaps a badge icon or exclamation mark.
It could potentially work.

Will there be a modified version available for the iPad and will it be free? Other then that i love this and i hope it comes to cydia soon because this is the coolest tweak i have ever seen. Keep up the good work
For the iPad? Yes. The original concept I did was actually meant for the iPad. I'm not sure about this one and Cydia though we'll see.
i like the status bar. One of the reasons i jailbreak so i can get this.
I like the dashboard idea as well but tapping the home button and typing whatever app i want is almost second nature for me. Unless the app is in my multitask bar at the bottom i never go searching for it i just use spotlight. Moving spotlight to the notifications center would be nice but what happens when you search something the whole notification center disapears to show what you are searching for? spotlight currently saves your last search, so going back to notification center to see something else would require you to clear out your previous search. Maybe just give us the choice in settings spotlight in notification center or spotlight before your first page

That's what I was thinking, if you disable dashboard then spotlight gets removed from the NC? Not sure just yet though.
well if they were to integrate it into NC id say it'd only work if we had the option for the dashboard or NC or both.
I agree with what you're saying, except the Status icons. There would be far too many. Instead, i'd like to see a circle with a number of missed notifications.
I like the dashboard. I'm reminded of my first smartphone, with ye olde Windows Mobile. Or my current Android with a few widgets on the home screen.
The "app cluster" worked for iPods because you weren't necessarily going to get up-to-date emails, Tweets/statuses, and such... you had helpful programs there for you to access, quick and easy.
But on a smartphone, the dashboard/widget approach seems to make more sense. Having that "info digest" at a glance is helpful... while having icons right there for, say, Angry Birds, isn't so helpful.

I really like this concept. Although the one thing I have an issue with (that other people seem to like) is status bar icons. I feel like that really makes the screen look cluttered, which takes away from iOS's style of simplicity (but that's just my opinion). My favourite feature of yours is Spotlight in the notification centre. I hate having an extra screen for it. Dunno why, but the extra screen is annoying. Nice job overall though.
Ooooohw,
Now i'm in love
I really like THE idea.
Launchpad is a feature I'd love to see on iOS 6,
(even if all android users gonna say: "they stole the idea from us" )
Just for the rcord, I like the idea of a single notification icon more.
But don't get me wrong,
If for example only twitter has given you notifications,
I would like to see a twitter icon,
And when there's more than just 1,
I's prefer a notification icon.
Than you can see if there's one or more apps that need your attention.
(any idea on when we can expect a beta of it?)

No, it's not lock screen based (sorry for the ultra late response). Intelliscreen X is all in the notification center. It just allows that notification center to be pulled down while in the lockscreen as well.
