How to Get the Android Pattern Lockscreen on Your iPod
The pattern lock screen on Android phones makes it nearly impossible for someone to break into your phone, and it is easy enough to use that it does not become a hassle to unlock. From a grid of nine dots, you create your unlock pattern by touching any four of the dots in a row. To get the Android pattern lock screen on your iPod, you must first jailbreak your iPod and then download the lock screen as an app.
