Hey guys this is for those of you who didn't know this.. It is very simple though...

Step 1: Get iFile from Cydia
Step 2: Navigate to System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app/English.Iproj/Springboard.strings
Step 3: Tap edit and change all the texts you want..
Example: To change slide to unlock to something else type in search slide to unlock and you will see something named "AWAY_LOCK_LABEL" where it says slide to unlock change it to whatever you want by tapping edit on the top left corner...

You could also use some app to change labels. Forgot the name.

It involves taking the time to actually look at everything in the root of the iDevice and reading carefully.

If anyone would like a custom springboard text, email me
hack3rb0t@gmail.com

Instructions:
1) open ifile
2) navigate to system/library/coreservices/SpringBpard.app/English.Iproj
3)then go to Springboard.strings
4) copy and paste my text (first remove the one you have)
5) respring, and you're done!

You will notice that there are differences when you, delete an icon, type in an incorrect password, power off, and more ;D

Wow dude it takes longer for an email to get to your inbox than to change it yourself.

Thanks dude!!! Sweet little tutorial for noobs like me. Nothing earth shaking, but a nice little exercise to get comfortable with changing things on the iPhone. And a cool little way to personalize.
