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[1]:
 * Install the Cydia tweak "Internalizer" . If you use this, you don't need to follow the steps below.

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