For many, this may seem obvious, but still, most users when setting up this element are completely irresponsible with the choice of wallpaper, but this image determines the basic beauty. Tastes, of course, are different, and therefore the questions of choosing a picture are purely subjective. But despite this, you should stick to one simple rule - the maximum of simplicity. Of course, photos from recent holidays are an important part of life, but this does not guarantee that they will look great on the lock screen, because there are options that are much more interesting from the point of view of design.
When choosing a wallpaper, you should pay attention, first of all, to the colorful gradient, which will not only make the screen look great, but also emphasize other interface elements, like clock, statusbar and . Further, you can resort to using tweaks - which can change the operator logo (you can add any logo or inscription).

Do not forget about other interface elements, such as the camera and the “dashes” of the call to the Control Center and the Notification Center, which the tweak allows to get rid of customLS. Simple deletion can also be done using TabLessbut customLS  gives the user additional opportunity  remove the clock or replace the unlock slider. Notification Center and Control Point are still accessible from the lock screen, even after deletion graphic elements. Both tweaks are available for free in Cydia.

Also, be sure to pay attention to AndroidLock XTwhich is definitely worth the $ 1.99 price tag. He borrows for iOS 7  some functional aspects of Android, allowing, for example, to activate a graphical lock instead of a numeric code. Also AndroidLock XT  includes setting up the appearance, the ability to disable additional input when connected via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, an increase in the maximum number of password entry attempts, emergency calls and compatibility with other tweaks, such as LockCalendar, Lockinfo, Cydgets, BuddyLock.

AndroidLock XT has many settings and works with almost all existing versions of iOS (from 4 to 7). Unfortunately, this tweak also still does not support, however, an update is expected in the very near future. The official list of compatible devices includes the iPhone 5, all models iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini. If suddenly you want to return to the usual password, it is enough to disable the tweak in the settings. Alternatively, you can also use another jailbreak tweak that simulates the Android lock screen on an iOS device.

It is also worth noting the possibility of setting statusbar, which offer jailbreak tweaks. By installing these two free utilities, you can bring into the iOS status bar such informers as Weather, date, and an indicator of free RAM.
