When Cydia is not so jammed up I plan on buying one of these but having a hard time deciding which one, what are everyone opinions?

i have used both and they're great. it basically comes down to personal preference

i think they both have trial periods

**Laelipoo** · 02-04-2013, 05:02 PM

I personally like Lockinfo, but I agree with BLiNK--try out both.

**Spinaltap** · 02-04-2013, 05:02 PM

Are they fully functional trial periods?

I know this is a year old but, it's from iMore...

**BLiNK** · 02-04-2013, 06:26 PM

so is LockInfo updated to that new version i've seen videos of?

**davidjwip** · 02-04-2013, 06:29 PM

Im not sure if both can be used together ... lockinfo was the last app I installed and then I got stuck in a reboot loop and couldnt get it into safe mode

I bought Intelliscreenx when I first JB my phone - actually it was one of the primary reasons I did the JB. I wanted some of the lock screen options it offered. I had never heard of Lockinfo. After a month of to of using Intelliscreen, I came across Lockinfo and putting the two side-by-side (on paper), I began to doubt that Intelliscreen was the better product (although Messages+ was pretty sweet). I downloaded Lockinfo to take for a ride, and soon came to love the app. As soon as my wife wasn't looking, I bought it. And have never looked back. The options it gives me, as far as productivity (calendar, messages, etc.) all from the lock screen was just what I was looking for.

yes.

I do like it so far. Some small bugs but that's to be expected.

I use Bulletin.

Lockinfo was the only app I really jailbreak for. Been fighting to download it all day. Finally succeed to find out its been completely ruined.

Is it even compatible with iPad? I just get a little phone sized window and can't find any way to change it. What happened to the old lockinfo? It was absolutely perfect.

I got ISX and I like it better then lockinfo upon first impression

You might like Bulletin more; it's kind of like the old Lockinfo without as many options.

Thank you. I'll give it a look.

It's not doing much for me either. I'll give it a while then try out intellisceen x

**JobSteves** · 02-05-2013, 01:15 AM

I still never understood why people needed the notification center on their lock screen.

**lizinnyc** · 02-05-2013, 08:06 AM

I am looking at these apps to serve two purposes: (1) lock screen weather widget and (2) status bar icons for mail, messages, missed calls etc. I downloaded lockinfo but the status bar icon showed up only for messages (not mail etc.). Am I missing something in the settings? Maybe I'll try intelliscreen and see if it does better.

**Blackfeet** · 02-05-2013, 09:43 AM

Well, I finally got my Lockinfo download, and everything has changed. Especially the UI. I understand change happens, but this revision barely resembles the version I used (and loved) on iOS5.1.1.

I am downloading IntelliscreenX even though I realize that if I like it, that's another $5 to keep it. Dang....

Make sure the View in Status Bar is set to On in Settings/Lockinfo/Notifications and Widgets/Mail

Yep, I'm on the fence. Design was never LockInfo's strong suit, sadly. My big question is how can I have it NOT show all the time at the lockscreen? I just want it to show when I pull down from the status bar.

**Blackfeet** · 02-05-2013, 09:56 AM

Quick Qeustion...

My Lockscreen Clock has disappeared with Intelliscreen. Where did it go. Can not find an option to hide/show it, what am I missing here?

**chasem** · 02-05-2013, 02:14 PM

I'm incredibly disappointed with LI5. LI4 was a much better product in my opinion. LI5 seems to just fancy up the default notification center rather than do what it did before: organize and allow for easy management of notifications.

It's a mess now.

**Blackfeet** · 02-05-2013, 02:37 PM

This JB has not turned out the way I had envisioned, and it is no fault of the jailbreak!

Intelliscreen will not work for me as it will show events from ALL calendars on the lockscreen. I want to limit to just one of the two calendars I keep - namely my work calendar. Combined with no clock, then I guess not. And LockInfo is, as chasem stated above, a mess now.

Anybody know of any other lockscreen tweaks that might be worth a look?
