Love some of these. gonna try jailbreaking out now
There are a few really great tweaks I’m surprised are missing from this list; Octopus Keyboard, swipe shift caret, swipe selection, assistant love and nitrous. Just to name a few from the top of my head.
ncsettings should definitely be on here. Dietbar and Booksstand are really nice too
I agree! NCSettings should be on here!! I use it all the time and it’s much better than SBSettings. NCSettings has better UI and takes up less space and does everytihing SBSettings does.
Excellent initiative. Thank you very much!

I need one of these.
Wonderful collection of jailbreak tweaks. I always like finding a resource with ones I don’t know yet. I am a huge moder so that can be tricky at times.
Great for Jailbreaking
Now ios 6 still no jailbreak for ipad2
Anybody knows which theme was used when the screenshot for CyDelete was taken? Thanks
Wow i’m very surprised f.lux is included!! most “best” tweak sites don’t list is
F.lux is the ***ONLY*** reason I jailbreak and if there was no f.lux I most likely would have no true reason to jailbreak — SERIOUSLY
the other tweaks I use are NC setting // blurried background / nitrous << does NOT make things faster on an iPad 2 haha
SBSettings and winterboard but f.lux is the REASON I consider jailbreaking, and if I were forced to use an iPhone over a droid I would HAVE to jailbreak it just so I could get f.lux — can't stand my ipad at night without it
