One of the popular elements of iOS was the unique Slide to Unlock slider on the Lock screen which was replaced in iOS 7. If you wish to bring back the unlock slider to iOS 8, you’d probably be interested in a new jailbreak tweak known as BlueSlide2.

Made by popular jailbreak developer CP Digital Darkroom, BlurSlide2 brings back the ‘slide to unlock’ slider to iOS 8, but the design looks quite similar to that of the iOS 7-iOS 8 power off slider, featuring a round unlock slider along with a blur background that matches iOS 8’s style.

It also features a nice animation when unlocking your device. As you move the slider across the screen from left to right, the blur background behind it also starts to slowly fade away until you’ve reached the end point.

The tweak will definitely appeal to users who’re still fond of the unlock slider in iOS 6 (or earlier).

After installing BlurSlide2, a new preference pane will be available in the stock Settings app where you can enable or disable the tweak using the kill switch toggle as well as change the Slide to Unlock text and turn on or off the unlock sound that plays when you unlock your device.

If you’re interested to give this tweak a try and bring back the old memories of iOS 6, you’ll first have to add the developer’s private repository as the package is not hosted on the default repos such as BigBoss. From Cydia, go to Sources -> Edit -> Add and type in the following URL: http://repo.cpdigitaldarkroom.com/
