Must-have mods for new Cydia users

LockInfo

Many of our readers are relatively new to the world of the iPhone, the iPhone 5 is your first iPhone and it is your first time to jailbreak. As you have asked us in the comments, we are going to make some recommendations for essential tweaks and modifications of Cydia.

It goes without saying that there are many more, that these are the ones that I choose and that surely in the comments you can leave and find very good recommendations. I am not going to recommend tweaks that consume a lot of resources or battery like Winterboard (which allows you to put themes), so you see that some are missing so you know why.

zephyr

This is one of the first modifications that I install on my iPhone after doing the jailbreak, it serves to invoke multitasking by swiping your finger from the bottom of the screen. So far nothing that we could not do with Activator, but Zephyr also allows us swipe from the side edges to quickly switch between apps, And not only that, we can also exit the open applications with a gesture. One of the best applications in Cydia.

You can download it for $ 2,99 on Cydia, you will find it in the BigBoss repo. You need to have done the jailbreak on your device.

lockinfo

lockinfo   It already let us see several notifications on the lock screen when Apple still did not do it (iOS 4). Now you can filter notifications, see all, only those of Mail, only those of twitter, etc. You will be able to execute actions directly from your lock screen, preview emails with HTML code included, add widgets, manage twitter and much more. In the video you can see many of them.

You can download it in Cydia for $ 7,99. You need to have done the jailbreak on your device.

IntelliscreenX

x2 90585c5 IntelliscreenX is now available (Cydia)

IntelliscreenX It is a very complete modification for the notification center, from it you can do a multitude of things: check the mail, reply, delete, mark as read ... You can also manage your Twitter or Facebook account, even your RSS.

Works even with the screen locked  and if you pull down the screen you will have quick access to functions such as WiFi, bluetooth, 3G, etc. in the purest SBSettings style.
You can download it by $ 9,99 on Cydia. You will find it in the ModMyi repo. You need to have done the jailbreak.

NCSettings

Of all the attempts I've seen of replace SBSettings this may be the best to date, this is NCSettings, a widget for the notification center that allows us turn on and off the WiFi, 3G, GPSbluetooth do respring, etc. very quickly.

As you see el design is very good (very similar to the SBSettings theme that I used: black'd out), it is also smaller than SBSettings and much easier to set up and editAll you have to do is press and hold an icon to take us to the corresponding settings. Its size and design make it the perfect companion for the notification center, do you prefer NCSettings or SBSettings?

You can download it free on Cydia, You will find it in the ModMyi repo. You need to have done the jailbreak on your device.

Springtomize 2

Springtomize, the application more complete customization, You can customize a multitude of parameters, it is the definitive configuration application. Springtomize 2 lets you personalize:  the animations,  the dock, the status bar, the screen lock, icons, folders, colors, multitasking, fonts, notification center and many more. Everything you can imagine. Within it you can find dozens of Cydia applications compiled into one. It also now incorporates a Time Machine where you can save your preferred settings to quickly retrieve them.

You can download it by $ 2,99 on Cydia. You will find it in the BigBoss repo. You need to have done the jailbreak.
FullForce
105433 640 5 ScreenExtender and FullForce: force applications to fit the iPhone XNUMX screen (Cydia)

One of the iPhone 5 glitches is that some applications are not adapted to your screen, and two ugly black bands are shown at the top and bottom. I am it has a solution: FullForce; a modification that stretch the apps to fill the entire screen of the iPhone 5. Actually stretching is not the correct way to put it, rather than stretching it is to adapt, because it does not deform anything.

It costs $ 0,99. You can download it from Cydia, in the BigBoss repo.

FolderEnhancer

FolderEnhancer is now compatible with iOS 4.3.2 (Cydia)

FolderEnhancer adds countless improvements to folder management: open folders faster, have up to 320 icons per folder, create folders within folders, etc. It is aesthetically less beautiful than infinifolders, which does something similar, but has more functions.

FolderEnhancer can be purchased for 2,49$ en Cydia. You need to have done the jailbreak.

    I jailbroken myself simply to install these four tweaks:
    - Zephyr

    -Help
    -SwipeSelection
    - Zeppelin

    The battery and the general operation of the iphone do not suffer.
    The only thing I miss is managing DO NOT DISTURB from Auxo.

    1.    Yo said

      What's the point of downloading Auxo and Zephir?

      1.    jose said

        Avoid using the home button to access the background.

    2.    tamayosky said

      I liked the one from zeppelin, I did not know it, thank you

  2.   rooted said

    Thanks for the article (a new cydia user). An Auxo question consumes a lot of resources and that's why it's not there?

    1.    gnzl said

      Auxo is saving screenshots in RAM all the time, personally I will not install it, although I understand that people do, it is very nice.

      1.    rooted said

        Curiosity kills me. I installed it to see how. I have an app that monitors the RAM, I will see what it eats and if it sneaks I withdraw it

      2.    Chebarbarian said

        Yes, that's what they told me, it takes them at 180 fps and also those captures are Full HD, don't even think about installing it, as the expert analyst «Gnzl» says.

      3.    Jose said

        Gnzl .. Have you tried putting zephyr and multistorey? This way you increase multitasking .. And you make it twice as big .. For my taste I like it better like this.

    2.    rubendiaz said

      I have it on the Iphone5 and perfect.

      1.    rooted said

        Thanks for the answer, I am encouraged to try

  3.   $$$$ said

    Smell your balls almost all of payment, how much you get for advertising, in insanelyi they are almost all free.

  4.   ʅυɪƨ ɗʌɲɪєʅ said

    I think they should also focus on free modifications that are very good and functional and not only on the paid ones as they do in the note, Mexican greetings

    1.    Erick said

      If you add other repositories such as iphoneame.com/repo you will find all this but for free, do not complicate yourself.

      1.    rubendiaz said

        I do not recommend that repo, it gave me a lot of problems, there are two others that are much more reliable and they have everything.

  5.   OrangeForceGBC said

    How did you put that topic on SBSettings in the NCSetings video tutorial?

    1.    gnzl said

      Put the topic on the blog, download it from Cydia and go

    2.    Gustavo Gomez Torres said

      I also want to know its name, it is very beautiful ..

  6.   rooted said

    By the way, does anyone know why from time to time the iPhone turns off and the apple appears and then it enters safe mode? It gives me that you are going to laugh at me ... But the truth is that I have no idea why this happens since I have installed the jailbreak

    1.    salamer said

      It is because some tweak that you have installed from Cydia is not fully compatible with your version of iOS 😉

      1.    rooted said

        Thank you

    2.    Asterix said

      That is because some of the tweaks that you have installed are not compatible with the mobile. In order to recover, it is put into safe mode with all the tweaks disabled so that you can uninstall the problematic one.

      1.    rooted said

        I will look at them one by one and thank you

    3.    alfon_sico said

      It occurs because the JB installs a "failsafe mode" module. You will never see what happens to you without the jailbreak performed
      I usually have SBSettings because apart from having the shortcuts it allows you to enter an option in Mobile Substrate Addons to selectively disable the modules you have installed and thus discern the one that gives you the problem.
      Libstatus has been in a permanent bug for 4 days, no matter how much they are updating it. Surely that's your problem (same as mine)

      1.    rooted said

        Thank you

  7.   Sergio said

    Let no one buy intelliscreen X, they are scammers, I bought it as soon as I left, it cost me $ 9,99 (I don't remember how much it was in €), full of bugs, it eats the RAM that is nice and they update every a lot ... , to be able to install it in iOS 6 do you have to pay another € 4.99? NOOOOO thanks, I switch to LockInfo, much more workable and more efficient.

    1.    alfon_sico said

      Lockinfo is much better. I've been using it since version 3. Anyway, it has to polish the beta and deep down it also generates errors because they are tweaks that are very, very complicated to implement.

      In general, Intelliborn applications are very badly finished (always)

    2.    Diego said

      Compadre in the iPhoneate repo all tweeks are free

  8.   alfon_sico said

    I am not very clear if it is due to the failure of 6.1 that is fixed with 6.1.1 or if in the end I will agree with Apple in its criticism of JB that is leaving a very bad taste in my mouth in its evasion edition.
    My tweaks are few:

    1) NCSettings, a must

    2) LockInfo 5, which has things that I like, but between the fact that it is in beta and that the libstatus package has been in a continuous bug for 4 days, I almost prefer not to activate it

    3) Auxo, it is beautiful but useless: it is not AT ALL PRACTICAL to see the screenshots of the applications because they are all very similar and the icons are very small so you have to look closely at the app you want to activate. In addition, the musical control does not allow you to jump to the application that is playing from the icon next to the controls, only the gesture of exiting the application by dragging is what is saved (although for that I had Multicleaner (4)

    5) iPicMyContacts, I love managing contact photos (Apple should implement it already!)

    6) PulltoDismiss to remove the keyboard every time it gets in the way (which is many times). Now Apple has implemented it in some applications, but in others it is still an ordeal to remove them

    7) Icon Passcode: to protect certain applications such as Google Drive, eBay ... it is very practical

    8) SpotDict: which launches the dictionary from Spotlight

    Well, with these simple applications I have unexpected outputs of many apps, other times they do not load conveniently, in some they do not update information while on a 3G network, I have even had problems of unexpected outputs from Phone Settings.

    All tweaks are original paid and I'm going to check if version 6.1.1 fixes something, but of course I'm going to be a season away from Jailbreak until the developers adapt their applications and the JB stabilizes. At the moment DISASTER !!

    1.    Gorkapu said

      Hi, how is the FORECAST application?

  9.   Ouch said

    Zephyr does not cost $ 2,99 but $ 4,99. At least in cydia that price appears to me

  10.   Nicholas Boxes said

    I have ios 6.1.1 on iphone 4s but this tweak does not work for me, first I get an error when installing and when it is finally installed I get that my springboard has fallen and that I reboot, restart and it asks me again…. so until I uninstall the tweak. What do I do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ??????? ?????????????????????????????

    1.    myloton said

      can you tell me what version of modem you have in ios 6.1.1? It is to know if it has changed to be able to continue using gevey

  11.   Jon said

    Good evening, after trying quite a few tweaks from Cydia in a few years, the truth is that my iPhone 4 S, this time I have placed less than half that I had so far, and the Lockinfo 5, Activator works very well among them and Sbsettings. The Lockinfo looks great together with the Sbsettings on the lock screen.
    Gonzalo can you put a screenshot in the comments?
    In case that's how?
    regards

  12.   Guest said

    There are many similar catis in Cydia without having to pay anything.

  13.   Manu said

    I would like to know if updating the iphone recovers, by jailbreak, the cydia paid apps, and if celeste is a good app.
    Thank you

  14.   iphonemac said

    I just downloaded NCSettings, and I find that it lacks functionality. They have removed the thing to press and hold to sort the icons, important shortcut, there is no function of Respring, Reboot, Turn off the phone as if it has SBSettings. It has others that SBSetting does not come standard, but honestly, respring volume control to the left and turn off the phone, I choose SB. A real shame because it "painted" very well!

    1.    Sergio Cazorla-Lopez said

      if you have those options. Grouped in a single button, the plug

  15.   christopher joker said

    Would you be so kind as to recommend sources? I think it's called like that, I want to do the jailreak but they told me that hakulo and others were closed ... Which ones can I use now?
