iPhone TARDIS Lock and Home Screens (iOS 5+ versions)

Wait! There’s now an iPhone 5 version available, which fits its larger screen. If you have an iPhone 5, click here. If you have an iPhone 4S or older, you’re in the right post.

     A TARDIS lockscreen for your iPhone: now iOS5 compatible and less Thal-friendly!

     I updated the TARDIS lockscreen I previously posted, so that it was integrated with the camera icon which has been added in iOS5. My original intention was just to redo the shading to accommodate the shortened slide-bar, but there was something about that camera lens, staring out at me, unblinking, uncaring…

     So, here it is. If you’re still on iOS4 then head to the original post. Otherwise, grab this version: just right-click and ‘save as’, then transfer to your iPhone using email (or do whatever your inner nerd tells you is necessary). Once again, the colours look odd, but that’s to compensate for the lockscreen overlay, and the ‘Police Box’ text is missing because the time and date go there.

     There’s also a home screen, which is darker, so that it doesn’t interfere with your icons.

     Post a comment if you use them. Thanks. Enjoy.

    Love this! Thanks for the heads up! And remember; if you’re not The Doctor, never attack a dalek head on. Stay above them, they can’t look up.

  2. Liz August 10, 2012

    Awesome! Thank you!! And thanks for emailing me to let me know!

    Thank you! It was so epic of you to let me know about this update! You’re a rockstar ;)

    This is very cool. I love it on my 3GS Do you see an opportunity to make it taller for the iPhone 5?

    • ScienceDoll September 24, 2012

      Alas, until I get an iPhone 5 (i.e. no time in the foreseeable future) I can’t ‘upgrade’ the lock screen for it.

  5. Sairah November 6, 2012

    Thank you so much for updating this! I was wondering if you perchance have a version without the Dalek? So it would be just the shortened lock bar with blank space for the camera icon?

    Thank you so much! =)

    • ScienceDoll November 12, 2012

      I don’t have a version without the Dalek and a shortened lock-bar, but try the previous version (a link is in the post): although the lock-bar isn’t shortened the shading which extends beyond it isn’t particularly obtrusive.

    Looks great ! Is this compatible on iOS 6 v

    • ScienceDoll November 12, 2012

      I haven’t upgraded yet, but I assume it’ll work fine on iOS 6, as it’s just an image which one chooses to use as wallpaper for the lockscreen.

    EPIC!! Thanks a bunch. Looks AWESOME.

  8. Samantha December 30, 2012

    I’m using this on my ipod 4 – thanks! I was looking for something like this, but couldn’t find anything.

    Wonderful! Thank you so much!!

  11. Matt Brandon January 30, 2013

    I love this! I am using it on my iPhone 5 with a slight squeeze down in size. The Dalek fits right under my camera icon. So all is good. Thanks!!

    • ScienceDoll February 25, 2013

      Thanks Brandon. A friend has given me a screenshot of the iPhone 5 lock screen, so I’m hoping I can make a version for it soon.

    Love

  14. Acrobat February 23, 2013

    Awesome!! So awesome. I made my home screen the inside of the 10th doctors tardis so when I unlock I am inside!

  15. Lurji March 3, 2013

    how do I use it? it is just a jpg not a theme, how is the dalek icon supposed to replace the camera standard icon?

    • ScienceDoll March 5, 2013

      Browse to the site on your iPhone and then you can save the image to your camera roll. View it in the camera roll and use the share button (bottom left), and choose “Use As Wallpaper”, then “Set”, then “Set Lock Screen” (or “Set Home Screen”, as appropriate).

    I hav an iPhone 5 so the screen size and shape is different. Any chance u could make 1 to fit it??

    • ScienceDoll March 5, 2013

      I’ve just finished it, Anna. I’ll post it to the site in a couple of minutes.

  17. Amy March 16, 2013

    Thank you so much for this wallpaper! I’d been hunting for a TARDIS door lock screen after I found a home screen of 10′s control room- and this one is fantastic!

  18. Rachel March 18, 2013

    This is absolutly marvelous, thank you!

  19. Jenny April 14, 2013

  20. Lawren April 25, 2013

    Ahaha awesome! Looks great, and is scaled down to perfect proportions. Am in love with the little dalek camera that greets me every time I unlock my phone!
    I am using ios6, on a 4s, if anyone’s interested

    • ScienceDoll April 26, 2013

      Glad you like it, and pleased to hear it works with iOS6 on the 4S.
