Tap To Unlock buttons

[kylgore]

Simply replace:

 /System/Library/Frameworks/TelephonyUI.framework/bottombarknobgray.png

with one of the following images, then open:

/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English.lproj/SpringBoard.strings

and replace "slide to unlock" with " " (two spaces, minus the quotes). Bam, instead of sliding to unlock, you'll be able to tap to unlock.











For example:

cool idea

[gurken]

nice! but i think slide is still better for me.

[aziatiklover]

very nice but yea tap can be dangerous

[kylgore]

eh, it works for me, pushing a button and then sliding a button was silly when i just wanted to get to my phone. at least now it's just home button/tap screen.

seems to me that every time i slid my slider to the right and thought i had it unlocked, i'd lift my finger only to watch the slider retract back to it's position, as if it was taunting me.

Hi,

i do have an Iphone with german language and did change the bottombarknobgray.png from your post with Winscp on Windows XP.

After this i tried to change the text in the slider to " ".
Cause i'm using german language i searched for "Entriegeln" , the german match to "slide to unlock in the following folder:

/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/German.lproj/SpringBoard.strings

But with WinScp i couldn't find "Entriegeln". I think it's a problem with winscp, so i need a alternative to edit the file, but what can i use.

I really prefer to use "tap to unlock" and it actually works with the .png, but i cant change the Springboard.strings and parts of the german text "Entriegeln" stay on the right side of the new .png.

any ideas?

regards
Herr K.

Hey man, I did what you said and the button is there but the "Slide To Unlock" is still gleaming under it...

What do I do?

[Mister K.]

Found the solution to change Springboard.strings:

Go to this page and convert the file to ascii/text.

Make the changes in the text file and upload it to the iphone.
Works like a charm.

thank you
Herr K.

Can you upload Springboard.string
I did it, but wrong. right side is text Slide

[Mister K.]

Here is my Springboard.string, but take care.
It is for german language in the German.lproj folder.

Herr K.

Can you make SpringBoard.string english?

[Mister K.]

Okay, here is the english SpringBoard.string.

I also made a png for "tap to answer" for an incoming call.

Replace:

/System/Library/Frameworks/TelephonyUI.framework/bottombarknobgreen.png

with the attached image.

and find "slide to answer" in

/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/English.lproj/SpringBoard.strings

an do the same like kylgore said in his first post.

thanks to kylgore

[Nettwerk]
