Simple Mode Tweak puts an interesting spin on the Lock screen

A new tweak called Simple Mode Tweak puts an interesting spin on the Lock screen Simple Mode  includes a provision to automatically launch a specified app upon unlocking your device, but I was unable to get that working. I’m going to go ahead and chalk that up to it being a 1.0 release, and hope that developer David M can get it fixed in a future update.

                                      

Outside of the tweak’s original functionality, I really appreciated the animations for the Lock screen app shortcuts that appear above the slide to unlock bar. Although the app icon shortcuts are a little on the small side for my taste, the animation that happens when you tap the slide to unlock nub is pretty superb.

Simple Mode is a tweak that you should take a look at if you want something that places an interesting twist on the traditional Lock screen launcher. It’s not perfect, and does feature bugs, but I’m fairly confident that those will be ironed out as time goes on.
