Favourite apps and themes for your jailbroken iPhone?

List them here boys and girls

I only jailbroke my phone yesterday and I'm very underwhelmed so far, so im looking for your favourite apps and themes to impress me!!

Bonavox

Glasklart is an excellent theme with lots of add-ons and stuff, so wholly recommend that. Rarely used anything else theme-wise, so that's all I've got.

anyone find their themes are not working with the jb 4.2?

Blazer

Themes are only a small part of jailbreak..why exactly did you jb?
Apps I highly recommend are sbrotator and scrolling board.
Scrollingboard allows you to scroll dock icons much like the pages on the main screen. SBRotator allows you to put your whole iphone into landscape mode etc...really nice looking.



Other essential apps are lockinfo which allows you visual assces to your mail/sms/twitter/calendar/weather without having to unlock the phone.



All of these apps you have to pay for in cydia..about $1.99 each...but well worth it imo.

Other apps such as tvmirrorout which allows you to output your iphone screen and any apps to your tv once you use a component/composite cable.
I use it to watch sky sports on my tv..only costs me €7 a month on the iphone.

Another app is scrollingfolders..basically this overwrites the set amount of icons with a folder (12) and makes it unlimited....again an excellent app.

One more aptbackup..this backups up what apps you have installed on cydia so when you update you don't lose them.

Where did you buy the component/composite cable?

I've a 3GS running 4.1

I wouldnt have that many apps from jailbreaking so to speak (apart from that which must not be named on this forum), the main thing i've got from JB is just great little tweaks to the system

TVMirrorout with Sky Player- Sky sports on my tv for €7, excellent

Infinifolders - No limit for number of apps in a folder

Folderenhancer - Create subfolders within folders

Five Icon Dock - More icons on your dock (there's now an infinite dock)

Mxtube - save youtube vids

SBSettings - Fantastic little panel that comes down when you slide across the status bar, gives you direct access to turn on/off wifi, 3g, airplane mode, and pretty much whatever you want

3g Unrestrictor - unrestrict apps that normally need to be connected to wifi to use, eg Facetime

Locktopus - password protect apps

Cydelete - Handy for deleting anything installed from cydia directly from the springboard

I bought mine in Harvey Norman's I think...you can get some third party cables for about €15 but some of them don't work...
google to check the recommended cables for tvmirrorout.
Better off getting the composite cable especially if you travel a lot as in most hotels you have access to the composite ports which are normally on the side of the tv rather than the component which are on the back,


Another app I forgot was SBsettings...extremely handy as it allows you access to functions hidden away within settings like bluetooth/wifi etc with one swipe of your finger...RemoveBG is a plugin for it which allows you to kill all background apps with one push...extremely handy

I got mine on ebay for 12e delivered, works a treat

A cool utility is FakeCarrier. Allows you to change Vodafone IE etc to whatever you want.

I will also confirm the above about LockScreen, it's well worth the purchase!

The essentials:

BiteSMS
Highly enhanced, customisable SMS client. I would honestly jailbreak my iPhone for the sole purpose of using this app! Features here.

14(ish) day free trial, then $6.99. If you don't want to pay the $6.99 after the free trial ends, you don't have to but there will be ads.

FolderEnhancer
Enhanced folders, breaks the limit of 12 apps per folder.
Allows pages in folders.
Subfolders.
See video here for more info

$2.49

SBSettings
Simply swipe the status bar and down pops a menu with common toggles such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, 3G, Brightness etc etc. Gives the ability to access these settings from within any app. Theme-able and alot of new toggles for various other apps are available in cydia.

Free

Thanks for the tips so far lads, keep them coming!

Snaptap - uses the volume buttons to take pics and video rather than the button on the screen.

Graviboard - Nice tweak for the springboard, makes the app icons float all over the place, looks nice!

Barrel - another one for the springboard, makes the pages appear to be inside or outside a cube as you scroll through them.

Fastcopy - improves the copy and paste feature on the iphone by taking away the annoying delay and sometimes slow response.

List launcher - Gives a scrolling list of every app in spotlight alphabetically.

Pull To Refresh Mail - pull to refresh your emails.

Volume Boost ios4 - boost the volume though it makes listening to music through headphones very loud indeed.

All of the above are on Cydia.

Fat_Fingers

1. LockInfo
2. FolderEnhancer
3. WinterBoard
4. GraviBoard
5. Activator
6. CyDelete
7. Disable Multitasking

Whats the name of that theme? I like

Four of a kind

Hey is there any way I could get just your keyboard theme from above....looks nice and simple tbh?

Just bumping this, looking for more of your favourite apps and themes on your jailbroken iphone

pah

Bitesms absolutely great!





This is my theme, Buuf infinity HD

Cylay track your phone online or from another idevice, locate via gps retrieve call logs, send mags and take photo from camera remotely, $20usd a year for 2 devices, cheaper than MobileMe by a country mile

Winterboard - Definitely a must for any custom themes.

5 Column Springboard/Dock - Does exactly what it says, I find it to be perfect, not too squashed. There is a 7x7 grid available but to be honest it's just too cramped, you can't see what's going on.

SBSettings - Surprised this isn't an integrated feature on iOS already. Swipe the top bar and you get access to WiFi toggle, brightness, process manager, restart the phone, and anything else you want to add in there.

Activator is also a great one, you can set custom voice commands to do anything, open webpages, open apps, do certain functions, or use an action like shaking the phone or hitting a volume button and assign them to certain commands. Brilliant for the voice commands alone.

Not allowed to discuss that here

FakeClockUp - from cydia. Speeds up loading animations for apps and as a result the phone runs ridiculously faster. Love it.

Replied to Vinny on this as i received a warning.

I recently took the plunge on LockInfo and I have to say, I think it's fantastic. For the price of a pint, it just saves you so much time every day.

Do yourselves a favour...

Simply Red

This is the theme I use, called G.O.C. HD




I like the android style unlocking so downloaded "androidlock xt", for anyone unfamiliar with it, you have to swipe your finger in a certain way over the 9 circles to unlock the phone:


Some of the apps i like are:
1. sbsettings - mentioned above loads, very handy, especially the remove background apps add on
2. five icon dock
3. iphonedelivery - delivery reports for sms
4. roundcorners - you can see this if you look at above screenshots, gives the corners of the screen a rounded shape, looks well on the phone
5. fake operator - change your carrier logo

tupac_healy

just wondering if there is an app for the following:

When you unlock an Iphone 4, you know the way the apps sort of roll into position? Would love that, simple I know but looks way better


Anyone know a tweak or app for that???

tupac_healy

This thread is really dead!!!!


Anymore good jailbroken apps???

eeloe

Springtomize is quite a good one, lots of little tweaks in the one app, such as fake carrier, tv screenlock(turns the screen off like and old tube tv, majorly cool!)

Jakmeehan

If you have a WiFi only iPad and an iPhone then MyWi on Demand is essential!

Lets your iPad automatically (via bluetooth - thus reducing battery consumption versus wifi) use your iPhone's internet connection - only when it needs it and when it is not connected to a WiFi network.

E.g. You are out-and-about with your iPad and have your iPhone in your pocket. You want to go online and would rather use the larger iPad display. Just unlock your iPad and open safari; MyWi detects that you want to go online and automatically pairs you to your iPhone. You don't even need to take it out of your pocket - it'll just connect you when needed and then disconnect when you're done.

So handy!

This qustion is kind of apps related, not sure if I will be killed or not for posting it here!!


I got a fair amout of those Cydia apps mentioned in this thread & when I went to sync I noticed my 'other stuff' is up to about 2GB!!!


Is there any way of seeing your Cydia apps and how much space they are taking up and what not?

tupac_healy

Is there an app to change app icons & names? Something available on Cydia maybe????

Winterboard and dreamboars allow you to theme your phone. Ifile is a browser got the phones file system. All icons can be changed by copy and pasting an image over the correct app image. Names can be manually changed this way too.
I don't use winterboard or dreamboars myself as I find they use a lot of ram and i am paranoid about their battery usage so I've themed my springboard by altering the file system. Use google for step by step guides. Sinfuliphone.com is a great site. Am I allowed say that?

freeze4real

Is there any tweak that allows one to watch buffered movies on apps nle. 4oD rte player or tv3 Player.

tupac_healy

Wow this thread went really dead!

Anyhow I just jailbroke my iphone 4 (I was bored of it) and was wondering what new tweeks and apps are out there these days

petiha

1. BiteSMS
2. WinterBoard
3. PasswordPilot
4. FullScreen for Safari
5. AskToCall
6. Activator
7. CyDelete
8. FolderEnhancer
9. Five Icon Switcher
10. Slider Pro
11. Zeppelin

As you can see, I use a lot of tweaks/apps from Cydia.

And here's my homescreen: (theme - inPulse)

naasrd

IntelliscreenX

MyWi (Essential for tethering)

Cyntact (Adds photos to contacts)

Sparrow+ (Push for Sparrow Mail, not an app itself, but I bought Sparrow a while ago and changed from the native Mail app as soon I could activate Push)

My3G

You don't mention any app specifically and they all work a little differently so it's hard to answer that. Jailbreak apps take a little bit of configuration but it isn't difficult. The best idea is to search YouTube for tutorials on specific apps. Usually the first part of the video will focus on how to download it and the second part will help with config.
