LockscreenToggles For iPhone: Access System Toggles With A Simple Swipe Gesture Directly From The Lock Screen

LockScreenToggles2

At the time of writing, the LockscreenToggles package has support for accessing popular aspects of the system like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, respringing, toggling the flashlight, Do Not Disturb, location services, orientation lock, airplane mode and doing a hard reboot on the device if required. It's almost inevitable that additional toggles will be added in future updates, but for now, the list of supported activities is pretty decent for a tweak that is as cheap as a dollar.

Various additional lock screen packages are also supported by the developer so there shouldn't be any worries about installing this tweak only to find that it doesn't work with LockInfo or SubtleLock. The developer has also thrown in some simple options from the Settings menu that allows each user to tailor how the toggles are called in, and specify the type of gesture that they want to use.

LockscreenToggles is available as a $0.99 download from the BigBoss repository and requires a jailbroken device running iOS 6.0 or above.
