Changing "Slide To Unlock"

[toxthexnines]

I want to change the "Slide To Unlock" text, so how would i go about doing that?

My specs are 1.1.3 iphone with 3.9 bootloader and my phone is jailbroke via ijailbreak

Download: SpringBoard.strings
&
Xcode

Then open in Xcode. You will have to find the line where the string is "<string>slide to unlock</string>" then change the text between the string codes. (Until I figure out the name for it...)

Next got to: File > Save As, and name it: "SpringBoard.strings"

Finally SSH into your phone and copy the saved file to:

System > Library > CoreServices > SpringBoard.app > Your Language.lproj

Na.. yo. u can use customize, then go 2 SpringBoard Strings.. n change it. the other way is harder!

the Customize method wont work for me (1.1.3 ziphone) i can change it, but as soon as i exit customize it reverts to original. any ideas why? thanks

Are you using the custom Customize?

If not, it won't work. Add this source, then you can change stuff.
