iOS offers access to various applications, settings and functions from the SpringBoard and this is really convenient. But sometimes you need to get access to some features in matter of seconds. What to do then? FastLock Cydia tweak allows users to run iOS applications directly from lockscreen by putting app icons there. The greatest thing about it is the fact that FastLock blends into native iOS interface perfectly and looks just like native iOS app. Those who don't know that this is a jailbreak app may think that this is native extension or update released by Apple. FastLock Cydia Tweak

FastLock Cydia tweak can add such quick access shortcuts to your lockscreen:

  • Place a call
  • Send a message
  • Send an email
  • Tweet
  • Add a contact
  • Add a note
  • Set an alarm or timer
  • Take a photo
FastLock's developer paid attention to setting only necessary shortcuts to the lockscreen. The tweak is launched bu double click on Home button when you are on the lockscreen. Those who have a password set on their iDevices don't have to worry as the tweak doesn't pass phone's built-in security modules. Some people might argue that a camera shortcut is completely useless but since FastLock supports iOS firmwares starting from iOS 4.0 some user still might find that option useful. FastLock Cydia jailbreak app doesn't have any settings you just install it and the tweak starts working. You can officially get it from ModMyi repo for $0.99 or from http://ihackcydia.myrepospace.com/for free, it's up to you. FastLock Cydia Tweak 1
