LockPlus update and a Me update. (Patreon)

I released LockPlus on August 4th 2015 to Cydia.

What I was doing in 2015 i'm still doing today. Actually before 2015 in 2013 I started learning to code so I could make miLock which turned into LockBuilder then LockPlus.

I should really make a new video because LockPlus today is well beyond what it was in 2015. One thing you may notice is themes in the 2015 video still work today. I pride myself on this fact. If you created something in 2015 using LockPlus it still works today.

LockPlus is a program used by thousands and year after year I work on this same project. I would never have imagined this would exist this long or have the supporters it still does. I'm so amazed and humbled that something I began working on so long ago, i'm still able to work on today.

Thank you for supporting me and supporting my work on this project. I would not be able to pay server costs every year if it wasn't for the people here. I remember when I decided to quit the jailbreak scene, but you kept me with it. I cannot thank you enough and you can't imagine how this has changed my life.

I've been absent most of this year, with the lack of jailbreaks and society itself. I found myself feeling the need to find something else to work on. So I did. I spent more time in nature and working to get my land in a place I like. Building things, working in the gardens, fishing, and just trying to enjoy life. As far as code and learning I took a deep dive into the crypto ecosystem and have been recently building tools on Solana blockchain. Helping projects do things they didn't know how to do and even meeting some old jailbreak friends in those projects. It's been fun learning new things and contributing to a new ecosystem. I've wanted to share them but as i've learned in the past, if it has nothing to do with a jailbreak most of my followers just don't care and this is understandable.

I've made the decision I will start sharing other things i've built and contributed here. Personally i'd like a reference of all things i've worked on and feel this is a decent place to share that. Plus some of you may actually care what I work on outside the jailbreak scene :)

Back to LockPlus

Yesterday someone emailed me, reminding me of a bug in LockPlus and the notification tweak Axon. When you had multiple notifications shown on the screen, clearing one would render then others un-touchable. Upon further investigation this was because Axon told the system there was no notifications because they had an internal counter for Axon notifications. Knowing this I was able to fix by checking Axon's list to see if they had any notifications pending.

This fix was pushed in version 2.4.3 the other changes were basically changes for me, i've been lacking on pushing themes from the public list to the curated All list. Every theme listed in the All section of LockPlus has always been downloaded on my device first, tested then moved to the All section. One would think that All is every theme on LockPlus, but this isn't the case. The changes were to assist me in testing and moving these themes.

Since this change i've moved over 100 themes to the All section of LockPlus.

That's it for now and thank you again. You are amazing.
