If you like to keep your lock screen clean, but often find yourself needing quick access to system toggles, this upcoming Cydia tweak from Ryan Bushe may be the solution. LockBar Settings adds a set of hidden toggles to the lock screen that are accessible with an activation method.
Once installed, launch the Settings app to set up the activator method for revealing the toggles. You have the option to swipe up on the slide to unlock bar or double tap it. This will raise the slider bar and pull up a drawer that contains four customizable system toggles.
Within the Settings app, you can customize the four toggles that will appear on the lock screen. Currently, LockBar Settings has toggles for Airplane Mode, Bluetooth, flashlight, Location Services, respring, and Wi-Fi. It would be nice to have a toggle for Do Not Disturb and Silent Mode, but LockBar Settings is still being developed.
