NEW APP IDEA, "PadLock", For anyone whos up to the task of creating it.

[asae]

Hello captinkid,

Yes you can use iBrickr not necessarily have to use winscp.

and the General Settings is the iPhone's general settings, "Customize" you can install it from the installer. And it is normal that after you launch the program, it will show "system locked/unlocked" and return to springboard again. The logic is you virtually have 2 homescreen+setting. Try change ringtone or wallpaper then launch Locksmith. You will be back to springboard, now change ringtone and wallpaper again. Ok? now, when you launch Locksmith again, you will be back to the previous setting. See?

If you have "Customize" installed, you can: hide some apps on one screen, and reveal it again on other.

Hope this helps...

Hi All,

I have modified "Hide.app" to become more universal.

What i have changed was the script inside to become more universal and take out the commands for removing sms and address books since i don't mind people look thru mine (smsd could always keep me clean ) . You can customize the "locked" home screen version to your liking.

Other than that, i changed the name to "Locksmith.app" so it will reduce curiosity when someone sees it

Install it like when you install Hide.app, but if you have run Hide.app before, make sure you run this in the 'non-locked' home screen ya because at the first time run, it will copy your Springboard's plist file and the Mxxx.plist thingy file as a set of "unlocked" version file.

After that, now, it will restart Springboard and put you (virtually) in a "locked" version, well... you won't see the difference until you hide apps (via Customize) or change General settings. Set some settings and hide some apps, then when you ready, click the "Locksmith" again. It will then save your current Springboard and Mxxxx thingy as the "Locked" version file, then return back the "unlocked" version to the current. It will again restart Springboard then Voila! you're back in "unlocked" version home screen again.

So basically what the application will do is to rotate between locked and unlocked version of home screen. You can freely manage different settings and set of hidden/unhidden apps at your liking in a two different home screen.

In my phone, i put passcode on my unlocked setting, and take out the passcode in the locked version, so whenever someone accidentally "unlocked" my phone it will ask for passcode.

Hope this usable for you guys who wanted to get a clean look for normal use and.. when needed, have the option to display all of the apps you have without having to go to Customize to reveal one by one...or also to hide ur iComic-based porn or SwapTunes too from accidental clicking

All credits should go to mkurasz as the original creator of the application. What i did was only rewrite the script inside it to fit my use

cheers,

ps: can someone point me to right direction/thread on how to use blank spaces.app with Customize 1.20+FW 1.1.2 ?

This app is an awesome idea, I'm really glad that you're working on it. I'm a complete noob when it comes to this iPhone hacking, and I've only installed apps through Installer. You say that you install Locksmith the same way you install Hide. Either i'm over looking it or it's not there, but I don't see any instructions on this thread to install Hide. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with installing this on my phone.

I have Customize installed on my phone already. I use Windows and the .zip file contains "Locksmith.app" folder, and a file "Locksmith.app" which will not extract from the .zip file. I've gone through iBrickr and copied all of the files in the folder over to \Applications\Locksmith.app\ The app shows up, I click it, it shows the "System Unlocked" screen for a little bit, then it goes right back to the springboard, with out restarting the phone and putting it into a "'virtual' locked" screen.

Do I have to have certain settings set on my phone, like have no Passcode set, or never lock automatically? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

hi emiderics, after u see 'system unlocked' picture, and back to springboard, try to hide 1 or several icons with customize, (but don't hide the customize icon and locksmith icon), after that click on locksmith, and it should show you 'system lock' picture, and you'll be back the screen BEFORE you hide the icons. that way virtually you have 2 home screen.

if you click the locksmith icon again, it will take you the screen that you have adjusted.

Hope this helps.

Ok, so I went through and did everything like you just said. I dunno if this would be a problem, but whenever I hide an icon in Customize and click home, it goes back to the springboard and shows the circle "waiting" icon in the middle of the screen, then restarts the springboard with the icons arranged the correct way(icons hidden). After that I click Locksmith, and whenever the System Unlocked screen goes away, everything looks the same as before I clicked Locksmith (icons are still hidden).

Am I putting the correct files onto my iPhone? The .zip contains Locksmith.app(folder) and Locksmith.app(.app file). I put all the contents of the Locksmith.app folder into \Applications\Locksmith.app\ Am I supposed to do anything with the Locksmith.app file?

Also, after I run Locksmith, does it create new files in the Locksmith.app folder or some other folder? B/c if it does, then I could tell if the program ran correctly or not.

The phone is running firmware 1.1.1, and has SummerBoard on it, so I dunno if that would be a problem?

I have updated the version a bit, so different homescreen are able to have different lock wallpaper. So you can have picture of your love one in the 'locked' homescreen, and picture of your ANOTHER loved one in the 'unlocked' screen...hehehe just joking at least it serves as indicator for you to know whether you are in a lock or unlocked version of settings by just looking at the wallpaper.

Two ways to update it if you have the old one already:

1. Just replace the Locksmith.app with the new one, make sure you are in the 'unlocked' version of homescreen first, mmmhhh....unfortunately you will loose what you have set in the 'locked' homescreen so you have to redo the setting and hidings....sorry for that...

OR

2. Just extract the hide.sh from the new one and replace the old one on your phone (only hide.sh), that way, you won't loose anything.

is it ok for me to put it on my repo?? NOT OK

[mat68]

I hope it's ok!

UP!
