2. AnyLockApp:

The AnyLockApp is a free Cydia tweak that allows the user to launch any application from the iPhone lockscreen.

The iOS 5 comes with the a locked-screen camera shortcut that is designed to give easy access to the camera. However, if the user does not use the camera as often as some other feature of the iPhone, AnyLockApp, with the help of a simple jailbreak, can tweak the existing shortcut to connect to any other frequently used app.

This jailbreak tweak, however, works only with the iOS 5 or higher.
