RocketLauncher lets you launch apps from your iPhone’s Lock screen in a whole new way

Lock screen tweaks have always been really popular. That’s probably because it’s the first thing you see when you wake up your device. Not only do you want it to look good, but you also want functionality, and RocketLauncher, a new Lock screen tweak gives us both.

RocketLauncher is a tweak developed by bushe, who brought us LockBar Pro, and it gives us a unique and simple way of launching your favorite applications straight from your iPhone’s lock screen.

Once you download and install this tweak from Cydia in the ModMyi repo, make sure you hop into the setting and enable it.  Once enabled, you can activate it on the lock screen by tapping and holding down your finger on any portion of the lock screen.  It will present you the first 7 apps in your app switcher, unless you tell it otherwise. Simply slide your finger over the icons to see a preview of the app. When you know what app you’d like to open, drag your finger over it and release to automatically launch that specific app.

In the settings, you have a few options:

  • Enable toggle: Enable or disable RocketLauncher
  • Disable Blur: Disable or enable background blur when RocketLauncher is activated
  • Disable Tint: Disable or enable background tint when RocketLauncher is activated
  • Show Full Screen SnapShots: If toggled on, shows fullscreen previews rather than app cards
  • Applications: Set custom applications for RocketLauncher instead of the default app switcher apps
  • Application Order: Order in which the applications set in “Applications” appear
  • Blacklist Applications: Choose to disable applications from showing in RocketLauncher

I enjoy having the default app card preview rather than the full screen preview, it just looks much better and less obtrusive in my opinion. You can purchase RocketLauncher in Cydia for $1.00 in the ModMyi repo. As always be sure to tell us what you think in the comments!
