'New Concept' Vertical Settings Bar On Lock Screen [VIDEO]

‘New Concept’ Vertical Settings Bar On Lock Screen [VIDEO]

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Allen Murphy|Jump To Comments |

From the developer Sentry, who designed Auxo, comes another nice idea, but this time it has to do with the lock screen. This new concept gives iPad and iPhone users a vertical settings bar with a number of toggles by swiping from the right side of the device’s screen.

It looks like some of the toggles will include Do Not Disturb, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, Location Services, Personal Hotspot, and Airplane Mode because of the video shown at the end of this article. From my experience, the one thing I wish Auxo had more of is toggles like SBSettings or BatteryDoctorPro. At least it’s safe to say the developer will bring some, or the same amount of toggles over from Auxo to this new concept. Again toggles that are shown in dimmed mode are off and the ones in color will be shown as on. Finally, the user can swipe back to the right of the screen to close out the vertical settings bar.

iOS Lock Screen Toggles

This interface and idea looks to be nice, smooth and creative to say the least. It looks like something Apple could or should incorporate to the next version of iOS as well, because it looks clean and a part of the stock lock screen interface. All you have to do is look at the slide to unlock and lock screen clock and you will notice the concept concept uses the same transparent UI image as apple.

However, if you are already jailbroken there are other tweaks like Intelliscreen X, Springtomize 2 and LockInfo on the lock screen, users can simply choose to install NCSettings, SBSettings or BatterDoctorPro within it. As much as I like this new concept, I would also like to see the implementation of music controls as a possibility. Let me know what you think in the comment section below.

Here is the sneak peek, enjoy!

Awesome concept, I would definitely like to see some music controls as well.
Raymond Lanser

I love the idea. Visually, I just wish it wasn’t trying to force itself to meld with the clock and slide to unlock. It’s its own thing and should be treated as such imo. The double home press music controls don’t meld into the clock, ya know?

Allen, how about you do review of lockinfo 5 and intoduce people to some intersting concepts it gives, such as hiding widgets and toggles on lockscreen.

I know I know:) Extremely good point. Iv been up late so many nights with a couple of the chinese developers and especially the one from iControlPhoto. I have Intelliscreen X with messages+, maybe ill remove those and install LockInfo. maybe do a review of both or give my thoughts. I tried just installing Messages+ and its not the same without intelliscreen at all its different, Sound ok?
Damian W

I have tried almost tweaks and I can tell you that in terms of notification layout Lockinfo 5 and IntelliscreenX are the only ones out there. There is Bulletin tweak, but it does not add anything new except you can view NC in lockscreen

I meant to say all types of other tweaks not just pertaining to the lock screen, in my last comment there. there are other tweaks that bring the notification center to lock screen but not as good as intelliscreen x as lockinfo your are correct!!! might of been miscommunication.
Damian W

you might be interested in checking Notifier+ then. Pretty good tweak. If there was no Lockinfo and IntelliX, I would be using Notifier+ on a daily basis.

I just got CallBar yesterday for the first time its pretty sweet. I hope they update Attacher Pro I really like that a lot by the way. I don’t like the silly comment looking icon that replaces the camera icon in iMessage though.
Damian W

Callbar is m favourite, it is the reason I jailbreak the phone. Try assigning activator function double tap locksoncreen clock to show callbar. This way you have immidate access to make a phone call. If you swipe right on the bar you will dial automatically the last recent call. It took me a while to figure all this out. You will be amazed how good it works. Attacher Pro is great too, it actually works with iOS 6 but you can only install it if you have a deb file or use pirate repo. Otherwise the legal copy on cydia will block you from installing.
xBoomBastiKx

Yes, I already installed Attacher Pro and then removed it. Its great, you can pick a file from ifile to attach and send, songs, ringtones whatever. I think its Awesome. However, it crashed on me when I would go to my camera roll from it. I install it just if I need to attach files and send through iMessage or text etc… Iv really only started with CallBar, but its pretty sweet as well. Yes, Im really digging the lock screen clock tap, Iv even have it setup with double tapping the status bar to bring it up. Im just learning all the different swipes and touches etc… I jailbreak for a lot of different reasons! I like knowing what else we might see:)

try QuickDO,, Dock and Page2D, pretty awesome tweaks.
xBoomBastiKx

Iv tired Dock in the past and recently, but it keeps the stock folder icons even with a theme. I do like it though. I feel like thats an old tweak or there was another one that had an icon on the dock when you selected did the same thing as dock. Iv since talked with the developer about it and his looking into fixing the folder icon issue. I think that would add a plus for sure. I think Iv installed QuickDo before but I need to go back and look. Cant remember Page2D thanks D.W
Damian W

QuickDO is like activator on steroids. I love the shortcut bar it offers on the lockscreen. It gives you multitasking gerstures that none of the other tweaks ever gave and extra second “status bar” to perform additional gestures. Personally, one of my favorite tweaks.
xBoomBastiKx

Thanks for the memory flash. Dang, how the heck did I forget that one? Obviously, some tweaks say “setup up” Activator or QuickDO
