Springtomize 2 it does like 10+tweaks in 1 tweak.
In case you?re not familiar with Springtomize 2, it adds an application icon to your home screen and a preferences pane to your Settings application. You can access either of these to get to Springtomize 2?s options. From the options, you?ll be able to customize all kinds of features of your SpringBoard, such as your device?s animations, capabilities, features of the dock, features of the lock screen, features of your icons, features of your folders, features of your App Switcher, features of your Status Bar, features of Notification Center, and a whole lot more.

SBSettings is still the most useful one in my opinion. I use it mainly to toggle my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and for quick resprings/reboots.
I also love Multiiconmover. It allows you to move multiple apps at a time.

Get Auxo instead.

I was wondering if Auxo developer Sentry would implement this slight change which would make it more functional and practical, would look good to the eyes too. If any one can make this possible, it would be great!!
This would make good use of the wasted space on the upper half of the screen.

Anybody have any good lock screen slider tweaks etc? I don't want anything too crazy, just some different stuff.

The newest is not the "best"

Sbsettings is absolutely easential!
Literally a safety net.
Plus the toggles.
Therefore ncsettings should
Not be included in the best of
List, as it IS NOT THE BEST.…

Bitesms is what messaging SHOULD be. Has to be on the list.

Reset all killer is so greatly under appreciated! How many threads have we read here where someone accidentally used that reset menu??
That's gotta be on the list!

Lorem and ipsum Get rid of notifications, both a must.

Bulletin, LI or intelliscreenx, it's going to boil down to personal choices, but the enhancement to notification center makes these three a TOP Jailbreak app…

Pandora downloader. Pandora, but better, and better, oh yeah and BETTER

Springtomize2, when this app is fully compatible, it's like 13 different springboard tweaks in one! A must have.

gridlock! Why isn't placing your icons EXACTLY where you want, THE standard on ios?

folder enhancer. Folders the way they
Should be. LITERALLY you want it in a folder, it's in there!

And the theming stuff, winterboard, color keyboard,and whatever that status bar one is that I can't remember for the carrier name… zeppelin?

I had gridlock on my iOS5.1.1 but when I installed in on iOS6.1/JB it kept crashing and putting my phone into Safe Mode. had to uninstall it... :-(

Any ideas for themes/apps on the mini??

I just jailbroke and want to get the most out the mini but it seems a little different compared to the phone.

 

[Hot94Z28]

I still have not find as much stuff for my iPad as I have for my iPhone. I really like intelliscreenx, winterboard, barrel, nitrous, and accelerate. Don't forget zeppelin. Just check them out on cydia and look at the screen shots. Makes the iPhone a really nice device.

biteSMS - hands down best alternative messaging app. Some of the awesome features include quick messaging, quick reply and enabling message cancelling.
MyWi - Enables bluetooth, usb, and hotspot tethering.
NCSettings - Quicktoggles. I actually prefer this over sbsettings. NCSettings is much more minimal though you do sacrifice a little of the additional functionality that sbsettings provides
iFile - Root file browsing, tons of uses for this.
Safari Download Manager - Great for downloading roms and other files straight from safari
LockInfo - Much much better than ISX imo. I really don't see whats so great about ISX to begin with. Sure there is mail/twitter/rss/facebook tab(Widget) things in ISX but relative to the actual native apps these tabs are ugly and have very little utility. Why check your twitter feed in the crappy tab in ISX when you can view it in a great looking app like tweetbot and have all of your twitter functions right there? Additionally, ISX is more expensive, and in my experience is harsher on battery life.
SwipeSelection - Awesome new way to move your cursor through text.
MobileTerminal -
ProTube 2 - Great for downloading youtube vids or just the music in youtube vids.
Auxo - Awesome replacement task switcher with quick toggles, music widget enhancements and great ui
iTransmission 3 - For those who like to torrent on the go.
3G Unrestrictor - Still useful for those who can't facetime over 3g
Nownow - Can set an activator action to bring up googles voice search. Faster and better than siri for certain things.
OmniStat - Nice looking widget with tons of useful information provided quickly and easily.

SMS GV Extension - Half the reason i jailbreak is for this messaging extension. Allows you to integrate google voice messaging into the messaging app. This also works flawlessly with bitesms. Not ready for ios 6 though yet =(
Phone GV Extension - Allows calling using google voice through native phone app
Reveal - Notifications on lock screen will show the entirety of the text instead of "..."
Graviboard - Fun tweak that simulates gravity on your homescreen making your icons fall.

I like to use
Auxo
Messages+
3G unrestrictor for apps like Audible and some games
That's about it.

IntelliscreenX is must have, Android Lock XT, Barrel

 

[crankerchick]

For now, BiteSMS (a must), Springtomize 2, Auxo, activator, and maybe an app I shouldn't mention here. I won't explain since they have all been mentioned.

Also using Activoice to create activator actions for launching Google Search directly to voice searches text search, goggles (why...LOL). Google Now is much smarter and faster than Siri for web searches. Siri is good for being an assistant (reading texts, creating reminders, setting alarms, etc).

Any tweaks to change the LTE to an icon/text? I know 3G indicators used to work but haven't even tried yet and I'm assuming they wouldn't.

 

[Garz]

For i5:

Auxo
Ayecon theme
BlurriedNCbackground
Activator
Bytafont

 

[beeray]

Is anyone having problems with bulletin. I seem to be respring and ncsettings is not showing up. Those are my only two tweaks.

If you find out please let me know, or if i could get rid of it all together, ive been looking everywhere and can block and change everything else but that

 

[Frank Marquart]

Does anyone else have a problem going from NowNow to then use Siri - it crashes and have to reload in safemode...??

 

[tyler_zyco]

I think SwipeBack has proven to be a great tweak for iPhone 5 users since the back button is a little harder to reach... Instead you can just swipe from the left side of the screen where it feels comfortable.

 

[prophecyc2]

I honestly am not that big of a fan of bitesms since installing it. Everyone hypes it up. I guess I need to watch some youtube videos on it to get more comfortable with the functionality and seettings.
