Jailbreak Only: LSCameraExtender - Add Helpful Toggles To Your Lock Screen

If you're the kind of jailbreaker who likes to spice-up an iPhone's Lock screen, but cares for settings toggles rather than weather widgets, consider downloading LSCameraExtender.
This jailbreak tweak adds a series of toggles to the Lock screen (such as Airplane Mode and Bluetooth), including one important icon that allows users to mute or un-mute their iPhone handset. The tweak then allows jailbreakers to use the silent button on the left side of the smart phone as an orientation lock switch.
As Redmond Pie notes:
While there are tweaks available allowing the orientation to be conducted by the switch, this often leaves the mute option somewhat stranded, with users unable to promptly activate their ringer or kill all noise. LSCameraExtender resolves this issue though, for it adds a button onto the lock screen enabling silent mode to quickly be activated if, say, you’re heading into a meeting, and deactivated as soon as you leave said meeting.You can also adjust various aspects of the tweak in the Settings app - LSCameraExtender adds no new Home screen icon, which is also good news. Though LSCameraExtender isn't available for free, you can grab it for just $0.99 in the Cydia Store, via the BigBoss repository. Hope you like it!
