Cydia Hack to play Movies and videos on Iphone

By

After a previous iStartup Sound, that allowed iPhone users to add custom sounds to their smartphone upon restart or respring, now a next step has been taken to allow full startup movies, audio and video to be used.
Vladislav Korotnev has come up with iStartupMovie, a curious tweak that works similar to the audio one, bringing a unique feature to your iPhone’s startup, making it look cool and original.  If you want to enjoy the new tweak, all you have to do is install iStartupMovie and a new app will be present on your Home screen. The app allows you to enable or disable the movies that can be found in the required iStartupMovie directory.

Once the movie is enabled, you have to respring the iPhone in order to showcase the video you have chosen. In case you want to test the app as soon as you install iStartupMovie, there are a couple of pattern films thrown in, to show you how it works. Don’t waste anymore time and try them all!
As suggested by the title, iStartupMovie would allow you to play movies or video clips on your device during startup or respring. Whenever you restart, or shutdown and turn on your iPhone, the video you have chosen will play before the SpringBoard displays on your iPhone.
You can put your .mov or .m4v files under /var/mobile/Library/StartupMovies and use the built-in manager app to select your movie file.
However, as much as we’d love to see this tweak is awesmoe, there is also a draw back with it. Once you have installed it, the respring or reboot time will be increased, depending on the size of the video. But, if you are the patient type and you wouldn’t mind waiting a bit for your iPhone to start, you will probably enjoy the new tweak.
