Twitter Plugin for LockInfo

Available In: Cydia

Price: $4.99 After 14 Day Free Trial (plugin is free)

A couple updates to the plugin for LockInfo that displays Twitter on your lockscreen have come out recently. Last night the update added the users avatar and it looked great! Unfortunately it was making the hack pretty glitchy when I would scroll up and down so I had to hide it. I emailed the developer, David Ashman, and he told me he’d get an update out soon to fix it and he sure did! This morning there is another update that fixed the glitching. Now it scrolls nice and smooth and I can see the avatars of my tweeps. Thanks David!

This plugin is available through the developer’s beta source in cydia: http://david.ashman.com/beta
