    Would be handy if someone could extend the built in screen shot feature to the lock screen.

    could be TOTALLY possible, and would just require either the triple home button click, or a button on the lockscreen.
    and if they were really good, the regular screenshot combo would be even better.

    i think saurik even made a command to do so. uishoot?

    yea but that would require me getting up walking across the room plugging my iphone in. Everything is hooked to my TV in my livingroom. To much work. I like the click two buttons and done method.

    It's not that I'm lazy. Just not worth the effort..... Ok maybe I am that lazy :)

    Ha!! It worked! Sort of. I held the power button in as I unlocked my phone and just as I unlocked it I tapped the home button and BAM lockscreen screen shot! No wall paper though :(

    So the built in feature can be extended the lock screen.

    tried it a few more times and got it!! A picture of the lockscreen with nothing but the lock and home button! Sweet! I will upload screenies tommorow. Need sleepy.
