Can someone point me in the direction of a basic blow by blow tutorial to jailbreak my phone please?

I really want to just change the backgrounds and quite fancy the idea of the lock screen facility that I have seen people talking about.

There seem to be so many posts here I just wondered if someone experienced could point me to a link that is a tutorial please

Thank you Tony

I followed the tutorial and could not believe how easy it was lol

I have now installed a lockscreen using a tutorial. However my weather icons are at the bottom, can I reorder things? If so can u point me to a tutorail thread to do this please

Which lockscreen you using, its pretty simple to do on most of them TBH

[Sharon1970]

I downloaded something called lockinfo but its only on a trial basis. I also don't have any of the little weather icons on the main screen either :/ Would you say this was the best one to use or would you recommend another?

I'd recommend using LockInfo at the moment.

You can rearrange the order of the plugins on the lock screen.

Open iPhone settings app in the usual way. Find LockInfo in the list of available settings apps (near the bottom in it's own section)

Open LockInfo settings
Click on Plugins in the LockInfo settings page
Click on Plugin Order
You can then tap and hold and drag up and down in the list.


The easiest way to get the LockInfo weather icons to appear where the temperatures are on the lock screen is to download an icon set from Cydia.

If you open cydia search and type WeatherIcon then you will see the icon themes. Glasklart WeatherIcon, Gruppled WeatherIcon etc
I use WeatherIcon - TICK.

This does install Winterboard (which is a theme management app for the iPhone). Once it's downloaded and resprung then you must go into Winterboard and just tap to select the weather icon theme you will now see in there. Don't do much more messing around in Winterboard as it can change the whole look and feel of your phone. After doing that you should have the weather at the top and the icons in there.


An alternative way to get the weather icons if you didn't want to install Winterboard involves connecting to your phone using SSH (which gives you access to the phones files and folders) and manually copying the icons into the correct folder.

I've posted how to manually get the weather icons here
Lock info


Take a backup of you phone in iTunes before you start fiddling with SSH or installing winterboard
