As you can probably tell, since there is nothing else really going on, today is Theme Day here on MyTriniPhone. And in this post I am focusing on Widgets for your Lockscreen. These widgets will allow you to get info/updates about missed SMS messages, weather, Ringer status, a cool Digital clock, missed emails, RSS feeds and IM messages. It takes a bit of setting up and but as you can tell it’s well worth it if you are looking for a unique look that serves a purpose.
To do install these widgets you will need a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch with Cydia Installed, OpenSSh and the FTP client of your choice. Once you have Cydia installed you must download and install Status Notifier and WinterBoard.
All credit goes to the following people for creating the software for you iPhone that makes this possible.
- Aldwin over on MacThemes for putting this all together in a nice thread
- Zetetic Apparatchik - for the weather widget
- productred - for the one week forecast version of the weather widget
- nuclear potato - made a background image similar to the one in his slock theme.
- Jay Freeman for Cydia and WinterBoard
Some Features:
- LCD clock for lockscreen (with seconds and am/pm indicator)
- Supports Status Notifiers 0.2.10, adds support to the following events:
* Unread Email
* Missed call/voicemail
* Calendar alerts - it’s there but I still have no idea on how to invoke this
* SMS: MobileSMS / iRealSMS / biteSMS
* MMS: SwirlyMMS
* IM: BeejiveIM / Fring / Palringo
* RSS: NetNewsWire
* Silent mode (ringer off)
