How to straighten #LockBuilder text with iFile.
If you answer yes to the following 3 questions then this LockBulder tutorial is for you.
-Did you purchase LockBuilder?
-Do you love it and play with it so much that your penis/vajayjay is having iPhone envy?
-Do you find yourself going crazy because you can’t get one or multiple text lines to stay in a god damned straight line?
Now that all of you are paying attention here is a very quick tutorial on how to use iFile to adjust the text lines to your liking.
There are 10 pictures posted above and they are all in order. I am going to walk you through them and help you sleep better knowing that your lockscreen doesn’t look like you have one leg shorter than the other.
Quick note: You must save your beautiful, but mangled lockscreen to a plist before proceeding.
Photo #1 - See how the Twitter text is making your OCD scream? Good, now let’s fix it.
Photo #2 - Open iFile and go to var/mobile/Library/LBThemes
Photo #3 - Select your plist and then select Text Viewer.
Photo #4 & #5 - These photos just show you that there is a shitload of background text that you need to scroll down past.
Photo #6 - Now that you have gotten carpal tunnel syndrome from scrolling, you need to find the line for the text object that you are wanting to fix. In this example we are looking for TwitterTextRotated (note: this works on icons as well). As you can see TwitterTextRotated has along list of numbers that include the GPS coordinates of the Bermuda Triangle. Or maybe it’s Nicki Minaj’s body measurements.
Anyway, after you have found the line that you want to correct, select Edit in the upper left-hand corner.
Photo #7 - Select and highlight the matrix #’s and remove them (cut or backspace). IMPORTANT!!!!!! - Make sure that your fat fingers don’t “accidentally” delete any part of the brackets surrounding the plethora of numbers that you are removing. (You have been warned!)
Photo #8 - Type “null” (don’t type the quotation marks around it, you asshats) in between the opening and closing string brackets. Next you can either go fix another text object’s crookedness or it’s size OR you can f’n following along with me and click Save in the upper right corner, and exit out of iFile.
Photo #9 - Go to your lockscreen and select the plist that you just edited.
Photo #10 - Send me all of your money because I have saved you from having to turn the bathroom light switch on and off 3 more times… Or you can go find something else to bitch about. We all know which one you're going to choose.
Hope this helped, now go and enjoy your LockBuilder buildering!
