Lockscreen features a music widget by default, which makes it easier for users to control music. The widget is useful but it lacks the all important shuffle and repeat buttons. If you want to shuffle your playlist or want to repeat the now playing song, you have to unlock your iPhone and launch the Music app to do so. Carrot tweak solves this problem by adding the two new buttons right on the music widget. You can download Carrot lockscreen Cydia tweak for free from the BigBoss repo.
