iPhone LockInfo 5 just released in Cydia!!!!!

The Jailbreak was released YESTERDAY -- give the guy some time to catch up.

Not really no. For the iPhone 4 and 4S, iOS 6.0 was jailbroken for quite some time now. He had this whole time to figure out what to do with LockInfo. He wanted to "simply" by using apple's default notifications instead of LockInfo 4's display, to "unify" the Apple theme.

In doing so, I felt like, it made it more complicated. I used to be able to see everything in one screen. Now I have to scroll through it all. I loved the tap to reply, instead of swipe to reply. I love having the super super small font, so no one can read my messages unless they are the one holding it. I love being able to theme LockInfo. But LockInfo 5 lost all of it's custom-capabilities.

I would pay to get LockInfo 4's functionality back, rather than this. I might just stick with Apple's default notifications. I don't like everything on my lockscreen, as Inteliscreen X is doing, and now Lockinfo, I just need the essentials.

Thanks for the suggestion ominx. Looks interesting. Looking for an alternative to LI or ISx, as I'm not a fan how either's newest version is looking. May give this a try. Does it have a trial version by chance?

I don't think there is a trial. I took a chance at $0.99 and I'm pretty please with it.

I couldn't wait to jailbreak my phone just for Lockinfo. It was #1 on my list, always has been.

After several painful hours trying to figure it out to get it to function like LockInfo should, I gave up. It is now deleted and I'll try out IntelliscreenX. I don't think I have a single positive thing to say about LockInfo 5....

1. The single biggest flaw here is that the lockscreen widgets cannot be different from the notification center. I would want SBSettings or Favorites widget on my notification center, but I wouldn't want them on the lockscreen.

2. Can't change the font or size of the notifications in the lock screen. Having the smallest possible font to show the most calendar listings was optimal (for me anyhow)

3. I couldn't find any customizations for the lockscreen. No way to leave the main clock at the top?

4. I would gladly pay full-price again to purchase a "LockInfo Classic" version again if available.


This really burst my jailbreak happy-bubble today....

1. If you go to the widget there should be two toggles one for notification center and one for view in lock screen. Ive managed to get NC settings in notification center but not as a widget on my home screen.

3. if you go to the weather widget from lockinfo preferences you should be able to decide if you want the weather, stock clock and a few other things.


I do miss features from the old version but this new setup seems much more integrated. Hopefully we will see things come back in future releases of it

1. No option to preview an email and have it stay UNREAD. There's an option to "Mark Read on Clear". I don't think that option makes sense since ANY action you take marks it as read already (Previewing, Clearing, Open in Mail.app). I'd prefer that option be changed to "Mark Read on Preview".
Click to expand...

This isn't true, or is a bug. If I clear an email (the x icon after swiping left), it stayed unread. I had to turn "Mark Read on Clear" on and then respring for it to take effect. After that it marks them as read when I clear the notification. Lockinfo has always been weird about its settings not taking effect until after a respring.
 
Bulletin provides something pretty close to LI4 but doesn't have a clock. So just turning your device on to check the time isn't possible

Other than that, it's pretty good so far..worth trying for 99 cents

Can you display your calendar with this, or is it just your calendar notifications?
Click to expand...

I just took a chance on it for $0.99. It appears to be just calendar notifications, not calendar events, which isn't what I was hoping for. I'm looking for actual calendar events, so I can see what is coming up over the next few days.

Oh well, maybe back to LI or ISx6...unless anyone else has any other suggestions for a lock screen app that can do calendar events and not just notifications?

Drats. If it had that, and putting NC on the homescreen, I'd be plenty happy with it.

Agreed. It is closer to LI4. I really like the Swipe To Delete feature. Just wish it did future calendar events instead of just notifications. If it did, it would be my new Losck Screen app.

Agreed. I'm in the exact same boat!

Download NCDate for Notification Center.

And yes, it will only show Calendar Alerts by default. There may be a NC tweak out there for Calendar Events but I haven't seen one. An alternative is to set "Default Alert Times" for Calendar Events in Settings App to 2 Days. Then it will show the next two days of events in NC.

Interesting, for me it is displaying the next event (I've added a test event to check this)
Click to expand...

Yea you're right. It is only showing the next event. I'm going to see if I can play around with this...

EDIT: It will show more than one event but "2 days before" means Today & Tomorrow. NOT tomorrow and the next day.

I am having issues with my location based reminders they keep triggering in lock info ( only on the lock screen) even though I am nowhere close to the location. I went into each reminder list and removed the "location" entry and the problem went away.
 
Hi, can anyone help me with this? I had LI5 installed but wasn't really happy with it, so I decided to give Intelliscreen a go. I installed that without first uninstalling LockInfo, and my phone is now stuck on the apple logo (intermittently fading in and out).

I've tried a few different button presses to get it started, but can't get past the Apple logo. What should I do?

I've searched around a bit and found a tutorial on putting it into recovery mode and restoring in iTunes, but I'd rather not do that if there's any alternative?

Thanks.
 
Miss the old LockInfo

Hope the new one improves or reverts back to the previous version.

Regardless, thanks to the developer.

Same exact thing happened to me last night. After hours of research the only thing that worked was restoring from BACKUP. It took me all night! I couldn't get the phone in safe mode.

Thanks, I figured this might be the answer so I've already started the restore process. Annoying as I've spent quite a bit of time today installing all my tweaks and setting up my phone etc, and I'll have to do all that again.

I didn't get an option to restore from backup though, only restore as a new iPhone. Not a big deal though as I can just restore to the backup I made last night (pre-JB) once it's restored as new. Still, could do without this. Was a silly thing to do in hindsight, always going to cause problems.

Have you tried holding volume up while booting to bypass mobile substrate?
 
Firstly, thanks to those of you who have taken the time to explore LockInfo 5 and helped other people out with questions and concerns on this forum. It's always nice to have people "in the trenches" helping out while my inbox is getting filled with emails.

To those of you that have voiced concerns about the direction LockInfo 5 has gone, it's worth reading my blog http://blog.dba-technologies.com/post/33157907923/lockinfo-rebooted to understand the design thoughts I had when approaching this project. The decisions were not made haphazardly.

My rationale for the rewrite, for those of you who are not technical, is that the original LockInfo code base, the one that powered LockInfo 4, is three years old and is based heavily on code that existed back in iOS3. It didn't leverage new frameworks like Theos or new iOS frameworks. It didn't integrate will with the notification system and resulted in a lot of inconsistency with the state of the system. The iOS ecosystem is very different now and the maintenance costs of LockInfo had reached the point that a rewrite was necessary. And when it came time to rewrite, I also looked to simplify the overly complex settings that LockInfo 4 and earlier came with.

I do want to have satisfied users. I do want to continue to iterate on LockInfo 5 to provide a tool that everyone will enjoy using. That will not be LockInfo 4 on iOS6 - that's just not going to happen. But it will be a new LockInfo that supports some of the features of LockInfo 4, but many that LockInfo never had. It will support a standard plugin architecture that will allow it to use any NC widget.

If there are usability issues that you feel need to be addressed, email me. I may not be able to reply immediately (I'm focused right now on license issues and critical bugs) and you may not see those features immediately in the product, but I do want to continue to improve LockInfo.

Email me at support (at) dba-technologies (dot) com.

All I ask is for the conversation to be constructive.

- David

No, maybe I should have waited but it's too late now. Oh well it didn't work for Jnardis so maybe it wouldn't for me. And only 10 mins of the restore from backup remaining now...

Cheers for your help guys.

My issue is that you can't preview the email AND keep it unread. I know i can choose whether the "x" marks it as read but sometimes i actually want to preview an email and if it's important enough, leave it as a notification and unread so when i get to Outlook, i'll see it there as unread.
 
Help - Lockscreen Clock gone

I have the latest version of Lockinfo 5 installed on an iPhone 5 running 6.1.

After reading this thread, I installed "Lockscreen Clock Hide" to see what the LS looked like without the clock. It looked horrible, so I uninstalled it. However, the clock never came back.

If I uninstall Lockinfo, the clock returns and everything looks normal. However, re-installing LI causes the clock to disappear again. I've tried resprings, reboots, etc. to no avail. I'm running out of options, so if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks.
