You know that cool lock animation that shows up on your friends Android device, the one where it looks like the display is turning off? Well, you can now have the same animation on your Jailbroken iOS device.
TVLocker is simply put, one of the coolest lock animations ever. I know, there could be many others, but this one blows off a lot of competition when it comes to simplicity. Everyone loved the way old TV’s used to turn off, you know, when the whole screen just blips out. Those were the days! Now, you don’t get TV’s that do that, but you can recreate that effect using various software. Android devices, especially those on version 4.0, come with this animation. And this tweak brings the same lock animation to your Jailbroken iOS device.
The tweak has no options to configure, just respring and voila! TVLocker doesn’t seem to have any problems with any other tweaks and works great. It is currently available for download in the BigBoss repo for FREE. Isn’t this the coolest lock animation ever? I wonder why no one ever released tweaks like this before!
Dude, I’ve had that animation for several months. It’s included in Springtomize :)
I installed this tweak to my iPhone 4, restarted springboard and now my phone won’t unlock instead constantly looping the tv tube effect – which has really started to lose its novelty.
A similar tweak called TV Tube Sleep has been out for a few years now.
Had this animation in springtomize since last year…I guess?
Hi Alex,
Download iFunBox (its free) connect you’re iphone browse to this specific folder “/Library/MobileSubstrate/” in this folder you will see 2 files starting with the name “TVlocker” just delete them and reboot/respring.
DONT DOWNLOAD THIS FUCKEDUP TWEAK FUCK THE DEVELOPER.
works good for me, no reboot issues or loop issues.
i don’t have springtomize so this ia nice way to get the tv tube animation.
//Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries
TVLocker.dylib & TVLocker.plist
yes right, i was in the middle of the mettting and i got a call from my client and guess what the screen goes blank i have take the SS too
Install “iFunbox” then connect your iPhone with your pc and go the //Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries you will see TV locker app tweak there, delete from there and start your iPhone. Your iPhone will be unlocked.
The cool thing about this app, it works everywhere! Not just on a specific screen. You should have a jailbroken iPhone in order to install TV Tube Sleep.
Springtomize version of this effect kinda ugly! TvTUBE goes like a fast, sexy and thin, HD line. Springtomize version’s shows a small resolution line, full of tiny squares. But It’s better than an app that only works 3 times/respring and easier than making all that procedure just to install one feature/app.
