Create Custom iPhone Slider Images
You know the little slider blocks with the arrows on them on the iPhone? The most common is the one you slide to unlock the phone. I’m going to show you how to make your own custom ones =).
PreReq: Jailbroken iPhone v2.0 (May work on older versions, no clue. I only have a 2.0 iPhone 3g)
PreReq: OpenSSH installed and setup (Use Cydia… has a great set of setup instructions once it’s installed)
Download This Slider PSD Template and use it to make your own sliders. There’s a couple layers in there to help you out for the sizes, tints, and such.
The one on the lock page is called: bottombarknobgray.png
The one on the lock page during Sync is: bottombarknobgreen.png
The one that’s used to turn off the phone is: bottombarknobred.png
When you save them, make sure you save them as 24-bit alpha PNG files. You can just do the Save For Web tool and select the preset.
Now you have to upload them to your phone via SSH here:
(You can get the IP from either the network setup in Settings, or what I do is open the Terminal app and run ‘ifconfig’ =)
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/TelephonyUI.framework/bottombarknobgray.png
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/TelephonyUI.framework/bottombarknobred.png
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/TelephonyUI.framework/bottombarknobgreen.png
Reboot your phone (Hold Lock and Home buttons for around 10 sec to turn off / Hold Lock button to turn on).
You’re done and have some fancy new sliders =)

Thanks so much for this, I tried installing the custom slider packages from Cydia, they worked, but then I encountered an error when uninstalling them, so my slider disappeared completely! Using your method I was able to get sliders again, and this time, the ones I want.

Regularly check your personal computer’s whole system. I like to own reads overnight given that they slow down your computer and could acquire a little bit. If only portion of your computer system seems to be contaminated, it is possible to scan your suspect portion merely. If you are employing a no cost system, make sure that this eliminates the particular adware and spyware they have discovered. Some of these free plans may identify the particular risks yet ask you to purchase the enter in order correctly to take out the issue. I believe these specific programs should be removed and also exchanged through programs that have full functionality.
