In this thread we can discuss the various jailbreak tweaks and cydia apps that we got on our iOS devices. We can also put information about the new apps/tweaks that arrive. People having queries about jailbreaking can ask them here. You can also list what JB stuff you have installed on your phone to make your device experience better. Might help us discover new tweaks and apps that we never knew about.
Nevertheless i can say that i will find very difficult to go back to stock iOS after using a jailbroken iPhone.
Some of the tweaks i use on my iPhone 4S...
1. Accelerate - Change the speed of animations in iOS. The default one, although smooth is slow, so i use this to make it faster. You also have option to make the animations slower that what the stock provides.
2. Action Menu - Provides advanced cut, copy, paste and add to favorites for text fields almost anywhere.
3. Activator - Gesture controls almost anywhere including lockscreen.
4. Adblocker - Used to block ads in safari and other apps as well. Blocks iAds too.
5. AnyAttach - iOS by default only allows photos (and may be videos, dont know) to an email. With AnyAttach one can attach ANY file in any format to an email.
6. AppInfo - Give information about all apps installed on your device and is a simpler way to go into the directory of a specific app as it is cumbersome to go there through iFile since the names are gibberish and not actual app names for the folders.
7. Bolt - I use this to hide the battery symbol on top right of the device. Only percentage is shown. But when phone is put to charging, a small blue bolt will be displayed indicating that the device is charging.
8. Safari / Chrome Download manager - Both are separate tweaks, Download managers for Safari and Chrome browsers.
9. Cleverpin - Very convenient for me. When phone is connected to a known wifi network, it won't ask for pin everytime we try to unlock (provided you have set pin unlocking).
10. Color Profiles - We know that many iPhone 4S and even iPhone 5 came with a weird yellow tint or as some say, warmer color screen. This was bothering for many people including me (especially after using iPhone 4 screen). This tweak can set a color profile for the device and i set it to blue and adjusted the saturation or whatever as per my requirement.
11. Cydelete - Delete cydia apps (only ones that have icons) like you delete other normal apps (hold, wiggle, click the cross).
12. DietBulletin - Recently discovered this and love it. When i get a notification, i dont get that top bar which protrudes outside the status bar, instead notifications come now in status bar and scroll till the end, bet it SMS or whatever. Size of the notifications is exactly same as status bar.
13. Display Out - Use this to get the display of my iPhone to TV, not just default video player but entire iPhone screen is mirrored on the TV.
14. iCaughtU pro - Sort of anti theft and tracking
15. iKeywi - Top get a fifth top row on the stock keyboard. You can customize what you want on this additional line, i am using the numbers 1..0
16. Infinifolders - To put more than the stock 12 (or 16 ??) app icons per folder. Have read that folder enhancer is better.
17. KillBackground - In the task switcher, comes a small red cross (like the danger skeleton head) to close all apps in one shot.
18. LockInfo - Cannot live without this, displays all my notifications and reminders and calendar entries on the lockscreen. Super helpful for me.
19. NCSettings - The best and most used tweak for me. Don't know why apple never implemented this. Quick toggles on the notification center. Remember it is not a point to actual setting but it is an actual toggle. Implementation of this tweak is awesome, blends so well with iOS.
20. Safari Download enabler - User to enable downloading in Safari browser.
21. StatusBarCustomClock4 - I use it to get Day, date and time in the status bar. By default iOS only shows Time.
22. SwipeShiftCaret - Makes text editing easier because of convenient scrolling in the text.
23. Zephyr - This is the ultimate tweak if you want to save the HOME button. Gesture controls for bringing up task switcher and dismissing the applications. I totally love this.
24. Zeppelin - I use this to the hide the "Vodafone IN" text from status bar. One can replace the carrier name with some symbols etc but i chose to do away with it completely
25. 3G Unrestrictor - I use this to enable FaceTime over 3G. But one can use for other apps as well like photostream or icloud backup which on stock iOS works only over wifi.
26. iBlacklist - I use this to block calls and SMSes from known spam numbers.
27. iTransmission - Use this to download torrents on your iOS device.
28. iFile - Master tweak, very important to navigate the file system. Must have.
29. Cyntact - Shows profile pictures in contact list
30. EZDecline - Gives you the ACCEPT and DECLINE buttons on screen when a call comes. Stupid of apple to not have such a basic thing. Slide to answer...WTF
31. Five Icon Dock - As the name suggest.
32. Gridlock - Move icons and place them at location you want. iOS won't shift the other icons when you move of them.
33. NoNewsIsGoodNews - Hides the useless newsstand icon.
34. No Passcode Block - Does not disable the phone when you enter the wrong passcode N number of times.
35. ProTube 2 - Download youtube videos
Phew....long list
