Best jailbreak to use depends on what firmware you're running and your iPhone model. My experience is that the Dev Team's solutions are always the easiest and most solid.

All of this talk about jailbreak makes me wonder is there a great jail break solution? Least amount of hang ups, resets and the like…

In reply to joshgard. Yeah, but you can select the stuff you want to show up from the setting menu. I think it adds some professional-looking to the iphone. :)

In reply to Misty. Hey Misty, as another commenter above pointed me to Intelliscreen, I agree that it looks pretty cool! I'm going to check it out, I like the ability to quickly view the weather and email in addition to upcoming calendar events. Thanks for the comment! :)

In reply to Diego Petrucci. Hey Diego, thanks for the tip! I just took a look at Lockinfo, and while it has lots of good info, it seems too busy for my tastes. Some people may appreciate the amount of info they can display, but it just doesn't feel "iphone-like" or "mac-like" to me. :)

In reply to T Aaron Carter. Just took a look at IntelliScreen, and it looks really interesting. More than just calendar, it also shows email, weather, sms, news on the lock screen. I might have to try this out. Hesitant about the 9.99 cost though, for a jailbreak app. But I suppose it's only the cost of 2 days starbucks, so not that big of a deal! ;) Thanks for the tip!

In reply to drkrjones.

closest thing I can think of is gcalwall, which is actually programmed by one of the writers here at JAiB (little disclaimer for ya :P). It's not automatic like these solutions, but it does make wallpapers out of your calendars which you then have to manually change every couple of days. Least you don't have to jailbreak 😛

If you're looking for a calendar replacement program, though…maybe try Pocket Informant?

A little off topic, but does anyone know of an app that does this on a "virgin" iphone?

Besides SBS Settings, this is by far one of the best jb apps out there.

If I didn't already buy Intelliscreen, I might've tried this out. Intelliscreen adds e-mail and message previews, weather, and news clips though. If you don't mind paying, Intelliscreen is well worth it. This sounds like a neat free alternative and is far better than nothing.

I can't understand why Apple didn't think to include something like this to begin with, but, then again, I think that about a lot of jailbreak apps I see.

I've had Lock Calendar installed on my JB iPhone for a while now, it is really useful to see upcoming appointments at quick glance !!

I went there first after my first jailbreak on the 3G. But my first install after the jailbreak on my 3GS was Intelliscreen. Intelliscreen did the same thing for me as you… gave me back the one thing i missed from my multi-generations with WinMo. You can even hit tap the clock twice to flip it and show your sports scores and this blog feed. The way it shows me email for address I don't normally use for sending is awesome because it allows me to always get to my main email address through the apple mail app, i am not explaining that last one well but if you use multiple email addresses you will understand once you use it. I am really surprised I don't hear more about it.

I used this app, but have also found a nice alternative: Lock info
Here's a screenshot of it: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30639940&am…
