C'mon guys! You only do this for those Cydia apps you want to TRY, or for that App that you don't really want, but because it's there for free you don't mind to play around with it. But not with the cool stuff that everybody wants to have or for that app that you really wish you'd have - for these, save some few weekends' beers and buy the darn thing...

Yeah, whats the jesus/geek/harleydavidson-look going on? Not sure if funny but yeah Cydia ja JB rocks. Done it to all my iOS devices from day one and would rather switch platforms than live with un-jbd iOS device. Btw. He could have left out demoing the sillyness, useless stuff and consentrate on the stuff that is actually very useful - makes big difference. Like Multicleaner, Aiplayenabler, 3gUnrestrictor, lock info (in more debt)...

That's one of the default options provided by Color Keyboard. (It works for me on 4.3.1 - I'm not sure it works on other versions.)

And what's the app for the calendar to show in the lockscreen?

Nick - April 28, 2011 at 6:10pm

I personally recommend LockInfo, it's awesome and allows more than just your calendar to display on your screen. I also recomment Tlert for text messaging anywhere on the iphone without having to exit out of an app and open the text messaging app.

That's Lock Calendar, a simple free tweak. LockInfo costs $8 and has more options.

Same here, the jailbreak will come in due time though. I'm grateful to those who work on the jailbreaks and also Saurik for creating Cydia, because without them the iPhone would not be what it is today.
