What is a Cydget?

First off.. Welcome!! 

This blog will be dedicated to cydgets. Reason is my addiction to code.. Yes I said it. So lets move on.

Cydgets - In my own words

Cydgets is Winterboard for Lockscreens.

Easy enough? Maybe, but I know you are leary.


If you are familiar with Winterboard, it will not take you long to get used to Cydgets.

Cydgets is a place to keep all your lockscreens. It doesn't come with an icon.
It has a settings icons in the settings.app

If you open it, you are displayed with a setup similar to winterboard. You have the list of lockscreens. (Which are installed in System/Library/LockCydgets)

You can select as many as you want. Move them around in whatever order you want.
This is because you can switch between lockscreens by using the home button while on your lockscreen.

It will cycle through each one. You still might be wondering why this is useful. Although the above sounds great, why bother.

I will tell you. Cydgets opens up Lockscreens to more iPhone features.

When HTML is run via winterboard it is run in a mobile view, also alot of features are not available. 

Things like Popups, Keyboards, EntryFields, LocalStorage, Fullpage views, and much more. These are available for us in Cydgets. Pretty much the entire iOS is opened and available to be exploited. I have created a few myself and will share them soon.

There is tons more to get into stay tuned for more post.
