Let’s take a look at how to install TVLocker on your jailbroken iPhone.

Step 1: On your jailbroken iPhone, go to Cydia and tap on Search at the bottom of the screen. Search for TVLocker. If you have the right sources installed on your iPhone, TVLocker will show up after a short while. Tap on it.

Note: Since iOS 6 jailbreak is tethered, don’t forget to plug your iPhone to your PC or Mac when restarting it.

That’s it! With TVLocker installed and enabled, your iPhone’s screen will look like an old TV set every time you lock it. Additionally, while TVLocker is free, it also offers a paid version (TVLocker Pro) that allows you to customize some aspects of the locking animation.
