If you are bored with old and the same lock screen features, then Buddylock is the tweak that allows user to add lock screen themes, apps shortcuts and widgets. It is similar to JellyLock, but with more features and themes.
I love this tweak more than Jellylock, because I can add folder and couple extra apps within it to lock screen. BuddyLock allows user to add up to 6 icons, in which you can add folder too that contains apps. This is how, extra apps. Suppose, I wanna access network apps quickly, then I can add network folder that contains a bunch of network apps with a cute Slide to unlock feature.

“Jellylock got an update and now you can add up to 6 custom apps and access Siri too right from the lockscreen.”
Jellylock is inspired by Android style slide to unlock screen and made available by Max Katzmann in Modmyi repo source. It just got an update and now the user of this Cydia tweak can add up to 6 apps, games or utility to the lock screen. Additionally, now the setting panel has also improved.

I like the Siri. Now you can use Siri and command her right from the lock screen by sliding your finger in the middle of the lockscreen invisible part and a icon will be appear. Its most easy way to access Siri.
If you have downloaded previous Jellylock beta version, then I would like to remind you that new Jellylock has been included in Modmyi repo that was previously found in private repository. It is still free.

No doubt Jellylock is one of the best Cydia tweaks for slide to unlock feature. However, its still in the beta stage. Its fully compatible with iPhone, but, if you are using iPad, then its bad news that its not working in iPad.
If you are already using or testing Jellylock, let us know what you are experiencing just by dropping a line of comment…
Unlock7 iOS 10.2: iOS 10.2 Slide to Unlock Feature for iOS 5, 6.1.3
Do you wanna iOS 10.2 style Slide to Unlock functionality? Unlock7 Cydia app provides the same effect on your iOS 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and older firmware…
If you have iOS 6.1.3 or later firmware and bored with that old and the same “Slide to Unlock” button, then its time to try Unlock7 Cydia app that provides exactly iOS 10.2 Style Lockscreen functionality to your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. This Cydia tweak is developed by Bushe.
Unlock7 was released just couple of days ago and got significant success overnight. It offers the same slide to unlock iOS 10.2 feature for your older firmware. This is the best opportunity, if you haven’t upgraded to iOS 9.0.3 or 7.x.x due to jailbreak issues. Until iOS 10.2 jailbreak is not ready, you can use this slide to unlock feature on iOS 6.
Actually, Apple was repeating the same lockscreen unlock button over again and again till iOS 6.1.4. However, iOS 10.2 lockscreen and slide to unlock functionality is something different than iOS 6 and later firmware.
Now slide to unlock button has been disappeared and now you are able to unlock your lockscreen by swiping your finger left to right anywhere on the screen.
How to Change Slide to Unlock Button
You are on iOS 6, so, definitely you have jailbroken iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. Suppose, if you haven’t jailbreak iOS 6 or 5, use EvasiOn jailbreak. Its free and reliable.
Bushe is the author who developed this tweak and the official Cydia source for this app is “ModMyi” which is preinstalled on Cydia app store. You just need to open Cydia and tap on Sources, now tap on ModMyi repo. Search “Unlock7” and click to install. Its 100% free.
From Editor’s Desk
Unlock7 is a new Cydia tweak that’s really cool, however, it doesn’t provide complete iOS 10.2 lockscreen functionality such as other lockscreen features. I have recently covered a list of iOS 10.2 Style Lockscreen that has many Cydia tweaks that offer great features more than Unlock7.
No doubt Unlock7 is a nice app to have iOS 10.2 slide to unlock feature on iOS 6, however, there are still better applications available for the same.
