SmartTap: unlock the iPad with two taps on the screen (Cydia)

Smart Tap

A few days ago I was talking about a tweak that allowed us to unlock our iPad by pressing a customizable button instead of sliding the screen as we have always done in iOS. Today we will talk about one of the best tweaks I have seen for Cydia: SmartTap; a tweak that allows us to control some actions through gestures. Where is the surprising? Some of the gestures are performed with the screen off for example, with two touches we will turn on the screen of the iPad and sliding from the bottom up we will unlock the terminal (even with the screen locked).

Gestures are the most important thing in SmartTap

The first thing we have to know is the price of SmartTap and the repo where we can download it: is on the official BigBoss repo for a price of $ 1.99. I really recommend that you download SmartTap since surely the developer, Elias Limneos, has more gestures in mind for future updates.

Once the respring is done, we can edit some Settings but first let's see what actions can we do without modifying anything, that is, the factory settings:

  • Two taps on the locked screen: we turn on the iDevice screen
  • We slide our finger from the Home button to the camera: the iPad is unlocked or, failing that, it leads us to enter the unlock code that we have configured
  • Swipe from the camera to the Home button: there is no default action but an action can be set, then we see it
  • Two touches on the Springobard: we block the terminal
  • Two taps on the lock screen: we block the terminal

If we go to the SmartTap Settings we see that we can modify some aspects that may interest you:

  • Modify the actions of each gesture to open applications, turn on the screen or lock the terminal
  • Activate the precision of touch gestures
