A new and curious tweak is available in Cydia for devices with jailbreak, his name is Spin and allows the user to set the lock screen circle with the course of reproduction of the music on our iPhone on the album cover and in addition to adding some comfortable playback controls.
This modification gives us a curious and beautiful look to the lock screen while we are playing a song from our music library stored on the phone, the course of the playback will go completing the circumference. This is a visual style very similar to what the iOS iTunes Store application establishes when listening to a test fragment of a song. This visual aspect will be shown on the cover (also circular) if we have it.
Its handling is quite simple, once installed in the Spin tweak settings we can choose whether to enable it or not and activate the option to show album art. If you disable this option, the lock screen will display a basic cover with the title of the tweak. At the moment and waiting for future updates, Spin brings with it several interface faults. If we assume that on the lock screen we can slide the wheel to advance or rewind in the song we are wrong, its developer has not implemented that option and these actions can only be done through the integrated controls.
The other big flaw of Spin is that its visual aspect doesn't blend completely well on the lock screen, overlaps with the phrase 'Swipe to unlock', in addition to containing numerous bugs and lags that make it not work as we want. Surely all this series of errors are being analyzed by its developer to be corrected and not look like a tweak in beta. Spin can be downloaded from Cydia, in the repository of BigBoss and contrary to what it might seem, it is not free, it has a price of U.S. dollar 0,99. The idea is quite good and it works very well with iOS 7, but this series of errors makes the user think about it before downloading it.
works with spotify ????
At the moment it only works with Music from the iPhone library.
Hello, how are you? I have a problem and I would like to know if you can help me, my iPhone 3gs is one of the new bootroom, they sold it to me, and it has a jailbreak already done, but the tethered mode, and they turned it off, so I can't use cydia or safari, has ios 6.1.3, can you tell me how to convert it to untethered so that I can use cydia?
Tested and uninstalled. Dragging does not work well to move the song forward.
