How to display date and time on iphone home screen
If you want to display the date, time and location of your iPhone’s current position on your home screen, you can use a handy little tweak called StatusHUD.
This tweak will add a small overlay to your home screen that shows the date, time and your current location. You can also customize the color of the overlay and the font size.
To install StatusHUD, you will need to add a new repository to your Cydia sources. To do this, open Cydia and tap on the Sources tab. Tap on the Edit button and then tap on the Add button. In the text field that appears, type in the following URL:

Once the repository has been added, tap on it and then search for the StatusHUD tweak. Install the tweak and then restart your device.
Once you have installed the StatusHUD tweak, you will need to configure it. To do this, open the Settings app and go to the StatusHUD preferences. Here, you can enable or disable the tweak and change the color of the overlay. You can also change the font size to small, medium or large.
Once you have configured the tweak, you will see the date, time and location overlay on your home screen. Tap on the overlay to dismiss it.
StatusHUD is a handy little tweak that can come in handy if you want to quickly check the date, time or your current location. It’s also highly customizable, so you can change the color of the overlay and the font size to suit your needs.
