Right out of the box, youriPhonecenters the date and time near the top of theLock screeninterface. But if you’ve ever wanted to move the date and time indicator around to different positions on the Lock screen, then you’re in luck.
A new freejailbreak tweakcalledmvClock11by iOS developerSohlets you relocate the Lock screen’sdateandtimeindicator anywhere you’d like.
Once installed, you’ll find a preference pane in the Settings app where you may configure the tweak to your liking:
Here, you can:
After you use the sliders to change the positioning of the Lock screen’s date and time indicator, you’ll want to tap on the blue Save button to save your changes. The developer includes aRespringbutton at the bottom of the preference pane, but it’s mostly a novelty because a respring isn’t required to save changes made to the settings.
Upon testing the tweak out for ourselves, we found that there’s no live preview as you adjust the sliders. That said, there’s a lot of trial and error as you make changes to the sliders, and this means locking your handset to check the Lock screen every time you adjust the sliders. Fortunately, this process isn’t that time-consuming since you don’t need to respring your handset.
In our opinion, the centered date and time indicator still looks the best on iPhone. But you could also get away with a left or right-positioned date and time indicator reminiscent of what you might see on theiPad’s Lock screen in landscape mode.
It all comes down to taste, but if you’ve ever wanted to move your Lock screen’s date and time indicator around, mvClock11 is a great way to break free ofApple’s shackles and take control. The tweak isavailable as a free download from Cydia’s Packix repositoryand works on alljailbrokeniOS 10and 11 devices.
