MusicBanners: Jailbreak Tweak for Banner Notifications/Lock Screen Alerts for Track Changes
Posted by unlocker under Jailbreak on Monday Mar 19, 2012Ryan Petrich recently released a jailbreak tweak called MusicBanners, which enables notifications for track changes in Notification Center and lock screen.
Ryan Petrich was also responsible for bringing us other popular jailbreak apps and tweaks such as ProSwitcher, Rotation Inhibitor, DeepEnd, Clippy, DisplayOut etc and had also worked with chpwn to legally bring Siri (Spire) to non-iPhone 4S devices.
Moreover, Ryan also released a new jailbreak tweak called Belfry that allowed users who have jailbroken their iPads to legally install stock iPhone apps such as Weather, Clock, Calculator, Voice Memos, Compass and Stocks to Apple’s iPad using the same technique that was used to legally bring Siri to non-iPhone 4S devices to the iPad.
The MusicBanners jailbreak tweak is similar to the NowListening jailbreak tweak. However, in addition to the banner notifications, MusicBanners also shows alerts for track changes in the lock screen MusicBanners also shows the album art in the notification, which gives MusicBanners a nice touch.
Moreover, MusicBanners works with other third party music apps such as Spotify, Pandora, Lastfm and Grooveshark in addition to the iPod app. The only drawback of this jailbreak app is that it opens the iPod app when you tap on the banner or lock screen notifications.
MusicBanners is currently available in Cydia for free.
