I have LockInfo installed on my iPhone 4S and today I downloaded the newly released music player tweak Tempus. I am not sure if I did something wrong but I feel this new tweak is incompatible with LockInfo.
What happened that after I installed Tempus, the list of reminders and calendar items which was being displayed by LockInfo started to overlap on the lock screen time.
Also I was unable to tap anything on the lock screen and the slide to unlock was not working. In short I was locked out my own phone as the screen failed to register the touches, except the lock info items which I was able to click.
The only way I though a way around was to remove the Tempus tweak but since I cannot get into my phone, nothing was possible.
So I tried to do something to come out of this situation. I sent a message from my wife's iPhone to mine and the message was displayed on the screen through LockInfo and I clicked that and it finally asked for my passcode and I was able to unlock my phone and remove the tweak.

So please be cautious if you install Tempus over LockInfo.
 
The description of Tempus says a music player built right into the LOCKSCREEN.

Two hacks cannot occupy the same space on a display at the same time.

Correct. But i thought the swipe thing will work fine on the lock screen clock while the lockinfo will work as it always does. So yes probably i misunderstood it.
So if anyone wants to install be cautious about this.
 
Maybe he could have it so that it's when you swipe the clock it switches to tempus, but you would have to contact the devs of both for it to happen.
 
I am always very cautious when tampering with the lockscreen. Threads like these appear extremely often where people are locked out of their device due to some sort of incompatibility.
 
I just downloaded this tweak it looked cool but am disapointment that there is no shuffle option. I'm pretty sure that a lot of people like to use the shuffle feature when listening to their music. Hopefully this will be added in the future
