An application for iPhone users has been created that emulates the graphical dot to dot style lock on Android based phones. The normal way to access a locked iPhone is by using a 4 digit pin code. The Android lock system uses a series of nine dots in a 3 x 3 square that you need to replicate a pre-set pattern to unlock the phone. This functionality can now be loaded on to iPhones that have been jailbroken.
For details on how the application works and what it does and how to install it check out the video after the jump. The application needs to be downloaded and installed. Once installed you simply go to the settings and activate it. You can choose if you also have the pin code active for a second layer of security, but if you just want the 3×3 grid then just disable the PIN code security check.

Locking system is very useful to protect data. By using the locking system, important data will not be stolen. I am very interested in this information. After I read this article, I became interested to use this lock system applications. But, where will I get this application?
You can get this application from Cydia. I have used it for a day now and it’s great, but there are a few annoying little problems. First, when you double tap the home button to bring up the music controls, the AndroidLock background is just a bit too tall and overlaps a few pixels of the music controls. Also, once you set a lock pattern through settings, it looks like you cannot disable AndroidLock. You must uninstall it to get rid of the lock pattern.
Looks like a simple inbound phone call bypasses the lock – not very good
I just heard about this Android lock for the iPhone program and was extremely interested. Unfortunately the program is nowhere to be found in Cydia. Has anyone heard why? Is there a repository I am missing? I have the big boss repo already, if anyone know please help me out
Love this app! Exactly what i wanted. Not super protected, but at least people around me can’t just pick the phone and look at my emails/text messages.

I downloaded the android 3×3 lock for my jailbroken iPhone 4. When I locked my phone to try out the app, i got permanently locked out. I have since been able to access my phone and it’s very frustrating. I tried re-jailbreaking my iPhone using the latest limera1n and that didn’t fix it. I’m not sure what to do. Can someone help me out?
