28 Jan Objective-C // Native plugin Written by: ame235 Now i seee, before i was blind. After maintaining and bettering the lockinfo 235teehanlax theme for a while, receiving lots of comments, suggestions and complaints, i got to conclusion that there is only one way to make things better with that theme: Making it become native. Gathered the more info and sources as possible on plugins, and by now I’m able to successfully compile one & get it working on the iphone. so i only have to mod it, & that seems simple if you know objective-C… BUT I DON’T So if you guys have some resources to share on that particular programming language, please share it with me so i can produce the plugin for Date + Weather on top.. rest of theme would only be makeup which is already done

If you like my work, please consider a donation ;)

   Dave actually asked Saurik and the Element group if he could make a native Element theme for lockinfo and they told him no. At least that’s what he told me on twitter.

   @ame Any plans/chance to release a rss plugin for your theme which is already great as it is?

   So no fix for the Respring problem that occasionally happens randomly?

   @DaveP, Nope, ain’t even searching… waiting for a clue from Mr. Ashman. Otherwise: this is quite hopeless: solution i think resides in the memorizing previous data… wich cannot be done with a refresh of the page…so rewriting everything (good part of it) make all the JSON data gathered stay in a buffer variable so that if there is no new data received the theme takes data from there. theme displayed-> settings changed -> 1. (no new weather data)-> display old data 2. (new weather data) -> display new data. this applies to everything obviously. Will have a look at it, but thesee days i’m going to be very busy….

   I understand, I will go back to a prev version you put out there before you incorporated it to the Lockinfo option, which did seem to work fine Thanks for the great work PS If I want to move the very top time on left and weather on the right what file would I edit so I can move them up towards the Status bar a bit. I use Music Control and when a song plays the cover art kinda covers up the time and weather, thanks

   @AME Can you put 1.5 back out for distribution? That one worked just fine for me but now I can’t download it anymore. The constant respring, etc…just makes me want 1.5 back.

9. 	Stephen Anstey Says: January 28th, 2010 at 20:31
   I second SupaBrotha’s idea – this respring thing pretty much makes it unusable, but other than having to manually configure 1.5 it was working fine. Would be much appreciated.

    Or 0.99 even.

    @ame – is it possible to open mails? If yes something is wrong at my iPhone. Lockinfo native theme works, Native Matte theme also, but with your theme there is no change to open my mails via lockscreen. Any hint?

13. 	ame235 Says: January 29th, 2010 at 12:38
    Hint: Native* *mine is not.

    Wow so many duplicate questions. Maybe you should make an FAQ for the ppl who are too lazy to read the rest of the page… Anyway, enjoy your vacation

    I noticed that the weather icon updates only after I update the weather app on springboard or respring. is this how it’s supposed to be or a bug? Also I sometimes get the warning to respring to apply setting although I haven’t changed anything. This usually happens in the morning on first use.

16. 	Kevin Says: January 29th, 2010 at 19:54
    I am facing the same problem as Mosec. I get the respring warning even though I made no changes. Is there a way to edit config.js so as to bypass this respring and let lockinfo remain as it is?

17. 	Kevin Says: January 29th, 2010 at 19:56
    Sorry for double posting. What I meant was whether we can remove the code for this respring warning screen in config.js?

18. dmeerpa Says: January 30th, 2010 at 12:17

    I also have to respring in the every morning. I think it’s at midnight, the weather forecast (5 days preview) changes, we go one day further. I think that’s why we have to respring. I also noticed a bug in the calendar (the one you by tapping on the current day), on top the days are mixed up. (tested it in English, Dutch) Mon Thu Sun Wed Sat Tue Fri 28 29 30 31 1 2 3 I do not have to respring to see the weather updates, but I also have the weathericon installed. Maybe that’s why I don’t have this problem

    Hi ame235, Just wanna say thank you for this amazing theme. I love the way it looks and i managed to remove code for the respring screen in config.js as an artificial means of circumventing the haphazard appearance of the respring warning. So far so good (at least it appears the way I want it to) :p Anyway, can you guide me on how to change my section headers to show “2 New Missed Calls” instead of “Missed Calls (2)”? Cheers
