VUnlock: Hack Allows You To Unlock iPhone Screen Using Volume Buttons

How do I change the volume now?
-
Volume control goes back to default once screen is unlock.
I like the part that you dont have to press Home buttom to bring up unlock slider, you can unlock the phone with the volume control even when the screen goes dark.
-
Ok, but what if you are listening to your iPod and the screen locks. Then you want to turn down the volume of the song you are listening to. Will it change the volume or will it unlock the phone?
-
yea it doesnt let you put your volume up or down when screen is locked. until they fix that i'm going to unistall it.
-
I like many JB apps, but with this one, one could accidentally unlock the phone while it is in a pocket or a bag. I'll pass this one.
-
how about when you are receiving phone call? if you can press volume button and answer the call then its not good...
-
Very nice!
-
Thanks

tap to unlock, and even turn it invisible. much better.
-
Ok I've tried it already and it works fine.
If you have a lock-pass code lets say of 5 mins it will still let you control your volume on your music if the required time has passed. If you don't have a required pass code or unlocked and still pending time for the pass lock to activate then it should work as it is attended by pressing your volume button to automatic slide for you.
You guys need to try it you guys are so lazy that you need someone to waste their time and type for you.

sounds like a cool hack but i will pass on this one
-
Tried it, tested it, was mildly impressed, but then found no use for it. Removed. Don't get me wrong its good but with its flaws.

I prefer the "tap to unlock" winterboard lock screen modules. It's also free.
-
Not a bad idea but i wonder if they can apply this new found hack to the built in camera software so you dont need a third part app to use the vol buttons to take a picture.
-
I think it's much better and saver (not accidantally unlucking your phone) to use a double press of the home button to unlock.
Single pressing the home button for showing time/date/eventually lock-info and double press to unlock.
Is there a possibility to programm it this way?
I think most people will appreciate it ;-) -
i love being able to skip the slide screen and go straight from sleep to unlocked. plus if you get a text then press the volume it will go straight to messages. this is one of my favorite hacks for the iphone.
-
You can use snaptap (cydia app)for that purpose. Works with the built in camera ;-)
Very handy! Also when you want to take a picture of yourselve ;-)
Feels very natural when you take pictures in landscape mode.
I went back to 3.1.3 on my iPhone just to get many handy tweaks. I prefer using Kirikae for multitasking. Now I don't get a list of ALL the apps I used in my multitasking screen!
Pushing the home button when using an app should close the app and not standardly put it in your multitasking list! Not very handy when using different apps during the day.
And what about folders that can contain an infinite number of apps!
I so love my jailbreak and the many possibilities it brings with it! ;-) -
Oops! I discovered that it was already possible to get this setting through Activator <- Part of my settings since installing certain apps (SBSettings?) via cydia.
Untill now I never used Activator! You can assign almost any function to any button on your iPhone! (lock, unlock, start apps etc.)
Fantastic! -
This has been possible for ages using the free ishakelock app. it works with every iPhone and allows you to use all manner of activations not just ones using the vol buttons.
I use either the vol buttons or a left swipe on the status bar. And of course they also work to lock the phone. It means you can happily remove the ugly "slide to unlock" bar which although handy first time you pick up iPhone only serves to hide your lockscreen image after that.

I can't find on cydia!!! i have a 2g jailbroken and i've reinstalled the big boss repo ....please help me ,it's very important !!!
-
This looks cool, but the ipod/phone call volume bugs are too big...I have been using "Move to Unlock" and I love it! give it a try sometime!
-
Ok but, how do I install it from the computer, cuz my ''slide to unlock'' doesnt work at all, and if its not possible... what can I do to fix my problem. HELP PLEASE.
