INTERNAL INSTALL LEGAL



INTERNAL_INSTALL_LEGAL messages are mostly shown on Apple internal development iPhones. They will be shown on the lockscreen of an iPhone and were first seen on leaked iPhone 4 prototypes in the USA and Vietnam. The messages can be shown on any iOS 4+ device with one of these methods: apple-internal-install
 * Create the directory /AppleInternal/Library/PreferenceBundles/Internal Settings.bundle/
 * Add the following key to the model definition file of your device in the "Capabilities" array :
 * Install the Cydia tweak "Internalizer." If you use this, you don't need to follow the steps below.
 * Set Systemversion.plist to "Internal". Note that some internal features will be enabled.

After a reboot, the INTERNAL_INSTALL_LEGAL_* messages will appear on the device.

The messages on the lockscreen can be modified if the file SpringBoard-Internal.strings is put into the following directory: /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard/.lproj/
