Last week I wrote about Cydget, a “framework for managing lock screen plugins.” Over the week-end there were a few Cydgets (like Widgets for Cydget) released that are pretty decent.

The first is HTC Hero Cydget. This Cydget includes the current Time, Temperature and Weather Conditions. Once you have installed the Cydget, you will need to go into the stock Settings application under Cydget and activate it. I did find that this particular Cydget does not display immediately on the lock screen, there is a slight delay. (strike)Though, it does know your current time and weather info without having to edit a .plist which is nice. (/strike)

The second cydget is LockLight Cydget. This is basically a flashlight Cydget. It displays a completely white screen at full brightness. I don’t know about you guys but, I actually use my iPhone as a flashlight quite often! So, to have it available from the lock screen comes in handy for me.

Both the HTC Hero and the LockLight Cydgets are available via the modmyi source.

Remember, Cydgets can be used at the same time as the LockInfo mod and other lock screen mods as long as they are compatible with SBAwayViewPlugins.

Another Reminder, you toggle through all your activated Cydgets by pressing the Home Button while on your lock screen (Quick Dismiss still works with Cydget). You can reorder your Cydgets in the stock Settings application under Cydget.

NOTE: Do not activate only the LockLight Cydget!! You will not be able to “slide to unlock” your device. If you activate the LockLight Cydget be sure to have another one activated as well.

[UPDATE]
Ok, so apparently the app is not pulling in the specific weather info for your location. Below is a quick tutorial on how to update the info for it works correctly for your location. This does require ssh.

How to set-up the HTC Hero Cydget
1. SSH into your device

2. Locate the /System/Library/LockCydgets/HTCHero.cydget/Private folder.

3. Open the ConfigureMe.js file.
*You may need to save it to your computer before you are able to open it. This can be done by simply dragging the file onto your desktop.

4. This is what the ConfigureMe.js file will look like:

var iconExtWall = ‘.png’
var iconExtLock = ‘.png’
var locale = ‘USIL0490′
var iconSetWall = ‘HTC1′
var iconSetLock = ‘HTC1′
var enableWallpaper = true
var isCelsius = false
var useRealFeel = false
var enableLockScreen = false
var source = ‘yahooWeather’
var stylesheetWall = ‘twoLine’
var stylesheetLock = ‘Under_StatusBar’
var updateInterval = 30

5. Change the var locale to your zip code.
* If you are outside of the US, you will need to search for your city on Weather.com. After you have searched for your city, copy the code out of the link in the browser (examples… UKXX0085, BRXX0232, ASXX0112… etc) and put that code into the var locale.

var iconExtWall = ‘.png’
var iconExtLock = ‘.png’
var locale = ’55901′
var iconSetWall = ‘HTC1′
var iconSetLock = ‘HTC1′
var enableWallpaper = true
var isCelsius = false
var useRealFeel = false
var enableLockScreen = false
var source = ‘yahooWeather’
var stylesheetWall = ‘twoLine’
var stylesheetLock = ‘Under_StatusBar’
var updateInterval = 30

6. Save the changes you have made to the ConfigureMe.js
* If you saved the file to your computer you will need to drag it back into the /System/Library/LockCydgets/HTCHero.cydget/Private folder on your device. Make sure you save the changes you made to the file before dragging in back onto your device.

7. Respring your device.

8. That’s it. It will now display the correct weather info.

9. If you would like the temperature on your lock screen to display in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, you will need to change the var isCelsius to true instead of false (true = Celsius, false = Fahrenheit).

var iconExtWall = ‘.png’
var iconExtLock = ‘.png’
var locale = ’55901′
var iconSetWall = ‘HTC1′
var iconSetLock = ‘HTC1′
var enableWallpaper = true
var isCelsius = true
var useRealFeel = false
var enableLockScreen = false
var source = ‘yahooWeather’
var stylesheetWall = ‘twoLine’
var stylesheetLock = ‘Under_StatusBar’
var updateInterval = 30

10. Follow steps 6-8.
