Password = 1234

If you are jealous of Android owners who have the amazing option of drawing a pattern on their screen every time they want to unlock it then we have great news for you today. Stride for iOS brings a gesture based lock screen to the iPhone and the iPod Touch.

One of the latest tweaks to land at the Cydia stores is called Stride. This extends the manner in which users can unlock their jailbroken iPhones by introducing the ability to set a custom pattern that needs to be drawn every time the device needs to be unlocked.

There is already the Android Unlock tweak which has been available from Cydia for quite some time but Stride is different. Stride has a lot more power packaged into it and it is more professional and polished than the Android Unlock tweak. Stride is a bit like the Draw Something app and the Android Unlock tweak all mixed together in a great iOS package. The native password limitation are bypassed with Stride meaning that users can enter their own crazy pattern which only then can replicate in order to unlock their device.

Adding Stride to your tweaks makes unlocking your iPhone a fun experience and by mixing Stride and the native iOS passcode security settings together you will make it almost impossible for anyone to get into your device without your permission. Stride is available on the BigBoss repository for just $2.99 and you must have an iPhone or iPod Touch running iOS 5.0 or above. You do have to have a jailbroken device and you can choose from Sn0wbreeze, Redsn0w or Abinsthe depending on the firmware version you are running.
