How to Give the Lock Screen a More Minimalistic Look in iOS 7 (Video)
Loving the new minimalistic look of iOS 7 but think it could be a tad more minimalistic? SubtleLock might be the right tweak for you. This jailbreak tweak allows you to adjust the lock screen of your iOS 7 device to move and/or remove a few items on it and give it a much more minimalistic and subtle look. The tweak costs a dollar, but is a nice way of separating your lock screen from everyone else’s. And isn’t that level of coolness worth a dollar?
