Seamlessly Integrate Wi-Fi, Location, And Other Toggles Into iPhone Lockscreen: LockscreenToggles Cydia Tweak
Posted by Badri Tek on 08:07 with No comments
Which is the best way to toggle on/off features like wi-fi, bluetooth, location services, etc? In my knowledge, the most common answer would be SBSettings, a tweak that has been serving for years and is one of the most reliable ones on the Cydia store. It is superbly flexible and the interesting part is that many of the latest tweaks come with a SBSettings toggle, which means it is like a parent page from where you can toggle on/off all possible features and tweaks.
But there are many users like me, who concentrate more on basic features such as wi-fi, bluetooth, location services, and the likes. For such not so advanced users, there are some good tweaks available that emphasize on simplicity and do not get much deeper. Personally, I have been using Deck for quite some time now and this very tweak does its job brilliantly. However, the only downside is that it cannot be used from the lock screen. This is the biggest difference between Deck and SBSettings, as the latter can be triggered right from the lock screen. In this post, I will be talking about a new tweak that seamlessly integrates with the lock screen clock and lets you toggle the basic features with much ease.
LockscreenToggles is the name of the tweak and it will cost you $0.99. Once installed the tweak will integrate basic toggles such as Wi-Fi, Location, Bluetooth, Respring, Flashlight, Do Not Disturb, Reboot, Airplane Mode, and Hotspot, into the lock screen clock and they are just a swipe away.
Once you have installed the tweak, lock your device and from the lock screen give the clock a flick to the left, or in simple words drag the lock screen clock to the left. On doing so, five icons will appear and now you can switch the associated features on/off right from here. Although only five icons are displayed at once, there are more options to look for. Swipe downwards on the icons panel and all the available options will be displayed in a list. You can now organize them and move the most used toggles to the top, so that they are readily available.
On installation, a settings page is created inside the stock Settings app. From there you can enable/disable the tweak, switch to bigger icons, and even choose the gesture to bring the list of toggles.
As mentioned above, the tweak is available for $0.99 which is not a big amount considering how useful it is. For me, it is a wonderful tweak at a reasonable price, but compared to SBSettings, which is available for free and is much more flexible, it is not that great.

Update:With the recent update, the tweak now features pages, which means you can scroll through all the toggles by swiping left on the lock screen clock.
