Many of us wish we could make our iPhone faster at times, but has it ever come across your mind of what it would be like if all iPhone animations were actually slowed down? A new jailbreak tweak dubbed iLettars by iOS developer vincenzoBB allows you to customize your animations to make them as slow as you want them. It doesn't make animations lag; instead everything just slowly falls into place depending on the speed setting you choose. The screenshot above shows the home screen slowly populating a page of applications.
iLettars doesn’t offer any functionality for increasing the animation speed and it only affects certain animations such as opening the App Switcher or paging through the home screen. To use iLettars, you will choose an Activator action for enabling the tweak and you will customize the rate of speed you want your animations to perform at. All of this can be set from the preferences pane for iLettars, which is shown in the screenshot below:
Apart from adjusting the iOS animations themselves, you can also set a delay before the animation even gets a chance to take place – these settings are in the “Delay for Animation” section. In short, you can use this tweak to:
Slow down animation durations to:
- 1 second
- 2 seconds
- 3 seconds
- 4 seconds
- 5 seconds
- 6 seconds
- 7 seconds
- 8 seconds
- 9 seconds
- 10 seconds
- 0.5 seconds
- 1 second
- 1.5 seconds
- 2 seconds
- 2.5 seconds
When everything is all said and done, you can use this tweak to slow down an animation such as rendering the home screen to time durations as slow as 12.5 seconds (that sure would feel like forever – wouldn’t it?) Using minor adjustments like slowing animations down by 1 second is nowhere near as dreary as waiting 12.5 seconds to page through each page on the home screen and the animation may be somewhat feasible for some people. You will need to invoke your activator action after every adjustment you make in the preferences pane. I can’t really see someone wanting to use this tweak to customize their own device since people enjoy doing things as quickly as possible, but maybe it will end up being a good tweak for pranking people.
