My top 3: Fantastical 2, Yahoo! Weather and Verizon. Further down you'll see Stocks, Bloomberg Business, TeeVee and iMore.

My top widgets for jailbroken phones has to be practical and simple and beautifully fit onto the home screens for each page.

Translucent sidebar Nux for quick 5 day forecast and date.
30 day quicklook Calendar widget. Google search bar for quick searches like androids and stride for current weather forecast and icon.

Honestly, those screenshots look a lot like Android. That's not where I want to be. I still want my iPhone to be an iPhone.

Just my opinion of course. Glad you like it.

Oh god no! I hate the look of the Android yet i love simplicity of googles widget search bar to find things without opening apps. I also got sick of the limited iphone uniform conformity to look the same so i wanted the freedom to be creative and use both Apple and android positives and strip away the negatives. If only apple allowed nonjailbroken users more freedom to express creative themes yet limit the chaos that runs on android. It's a fine line but Ao far i love this setup and maybe one day I'll change it up to again to something else.

I agree. I would probably jailbreak just to get rid of that ugly shaded dock and put my weather sets on the lock screen.

Is there a way to use a different search than Google?

Love using Heapo and Clips as clipboard managers, so I can have multiple items available to copy and paste!

And Workflow gives me a "YouTube to MP3" button right in my Notification Center!

I like KuaiBoard for clipboard use. It's really cool. A new version comes out soon that's super neat. It has dynamic time/date clips. I'm beta testing it now. So this date is sent with one tap.
