Camera Grabber: Get iOS 5.1 Lock Screen Camera Shortcut On iOS 5.0.1 Device

Most of you might already know that Apple released the iOS 5.1 just a few weeks ago and with it came a few small changes for the iPhone operating system, though these changes aren’t what one might call as ‘amazing’ or brings something new to the iPhone that might excite the iOS community. The changes present in the new iOS release, are for the camera app for the iPhone. The new tweak makes the camera shortcut on the lock screen function like the iOS 5.1 camera shortcut.




The change present in this tweak is that the new lockscreen camera shortcut has been altered. One of the alterations is that the home button doesn’t need to be double tapped for bringing up the shortcut, and the other alteration is that the camera icon has been moved upwards. This move ensures that the camera icon doesn’t launch accidentally and simply tapping the icon won’t launch the stock Camera App.

Many of you might be waiting for the jailbreak dev teams to tell you that it’s safe to get the update of the iOS 5.1. However, if you still want to experience the new lockscreen camera and not update to the iOS 5.1, then you can do so through the ‘Camera Grabber’.

You can get this tweak from the ModMyi repo of the Cydia store for free and install it on any device running on the iOS 5.0 or the 5.0.1. Keep in mind that no Springboard icon or a configurable menu in the stock Settings app will be added.

After the installation, simply go to the lockscreen and you will see that the screen has transformed. The font will be more compact, and the camera icon will always be there. Hold the camera icon and slide it upwards, to launch the app.
