iOS developer Ron Melkhior has created a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed AppSlider, which allows you to set up to two different application shortcuts on your lock screen for easy access.

After installing AppSlider from Cydia and performing your respring, you are presented with a new preferences pane that has everything you need to select both of your applications that will have shortcuts added to the lock screen. The tweak comes bundled with an enable and disable switch so that you can turn off the features of the tweak on demand. After you’ve selected your two applications, simply tap on the “Apply Changes” button and the device will respring.

AppSlider works great, if you tap on the icons they take you straight to the applications that you selected without any problems. If you have a passcode set, AppSlider will comply with that pass code forcing you to enter the pass code before the device is unlocked and any applications are launched. AppSlider is available for FREE in Cydia Store and requires iOS 5, unfortunately it is not yet compatible with the iPad.
