How to Change Slider Text without Customize on iPhone
Hey YouTube iPod touch2gGeec here and in this video, I’m going to show you how you can change your slider text on your iPhone or iPod touch without customize because customize there service have been down for a while. I’ve doubt there ever going to get them back up. So this is an alternative, so just to show you what I’m talking about.
I’m talking about the slide to unlock. I’m going to show you how you can change what that say as well as what your slider for when you turn it off says. So you know right now it says, slide to power off. I’m going to show you how you can change that without customize. Now you will need to know how to SSH so if you don’t know go ahead and watch my video on how to SSH.
So the first thing that I want you to do is right click on your desktop and select new folder. Now this folder you can name whatever you want. I’m going to name it slider text I guess. It doesn’t matter what you name in this folder. Now you’re going to open it up and in this folder you’re going to go new folder again and this one you are going to have to name panels. All right go ahead and press enter. Open that up and you’re going to have to create another folder.
Now this one you’re going to want to know you make sure you do it correctly its going to be called com.apple.springboard. Okay, no capitals put all of these file names or folder names in the video descriptions to your right. So, I’m going to press enter on that. I’m going to open this up and you’re going to create one last folder. This one is going to be called EN.LPROJ all right. Then go ahead and press enter on that and now what I want you to do is go into your start menu and select computer or my computer. If you’re on Vista go into organized and then let’s see where was it—you’re going to go to do start menu, computer organized if you are on Vista and folder, insert options if you are on XP I believe its tools and then folder options and you’re going in to view and I want you to go into view you should see one that says hide, extensions from known file types.
All right, it’s going to be checked. I want you to uncheck it okay. Go ahead and select apply and okay. You can go ahead and exit out of that and now what you’re going to do is open up this EN.LPROJ and now what I want you to do is right click, select new and then text document. Now what you are going to call this, this capital SPRING, capital BOARD so springboard dot actually you’re going to get rid of this dot text and you’re going to dot strings just like that. I’m going to go ahead and press enter and this will pop up at the warning. Go ahead and press yes.
Okay now go ahead and you’re going to right click it and then you’re going to select open with—actually don’t do that. So leave this as dot text and you’re going to select open and now what I want you to do is—so you’re going to do is copy and paste. Okay, I’m going to put this in the video description to your right. You’re going to copy them and you’re going to paste them in here. We’ll say away locked label and then equals your text goes here you’re going to replace you’re text goes here with whatever you wanted to say so way lock label is what displays when you are unlocking your phone or your iPod and you know where it says slide to unlock and power down lock label is what is going to say it when you want to power down your phone or iPod.
So all you’re going to do is highlight your texts goes here and replace it to whatever you want. So say I want to change my slider of text to slide me. You can change it to whatever you want, it does not matter. Okay so—and then my power down. Let’s just go—I guess shut down all right—I don’t know. And then once you do that go ahead and do file saved and then what I want—this is when you are going to change the name. You’re going to delete that text and you are going to add strings.strings just like that so the final one will be springboard.strings. Go ahead and press enter and yes.
Now, what you’re going to do is SSH. So go ahead and open up your SSH client. For windows it should be WINSCP, for Mac I believed its Cyberduck. So go ahead and open up SSH. You go into go up one scroll down to stash and then themes. So go back to your desktop and get your folder that we’ve just made go ahead and drag that into themes and I don’t know if I already mentioned this but you are going to need winterboard. Okay you can go ahead and download that from Sydia just search winterboard and so once you drive that and go ahead and select copy and it will copy it.
Now, you can close this by the way the folder. Go into winterboard. Open that up. And now you should see slider text or whatever you named it. So now go ahead and select it and press the home button it should respringed and now once it rsprunged, you should now see your new text so as you can see it now so slide me which is what I entered so go ahead and unlock that and now let me show you the shut down one and there you go. Shut down easy as that. It’s extremely easy to do. Just make sure you follow my steps and you should be able to do this.
