The 5 essential Cydia apps

5 must-see tweaks from Cydia

It is usual that when someone does the jailbreak for the first time to your device you do not know very well where to start. The jailbreak opens us a new world of possibilities where we can install applications that are not accepted in the App Store and modify the system at will by installing themes and tweaks. Among the restrictions that we can eliminate through the jailbreak is that of being able to send and receive files by bluetooth even if the device of our contact is not an iPhone or the mail application "vitamin".

Although there are hundreds of possibilities, in this article I am going to tell you what they are for me 5 essential apps / tweaks by Cydia. I am aware that many of you will prefer others, but these are the first 5 that I install every time I jailbreak.

iCleaner

iCleaner

Will allow us delete all that cache that is stored in the device, which is especially good if the iPhone is 8-16GB. It is very configurable and allows us to configure the degree of cleaning, as well as deactivate some tweaks.

Virtual Home

With this modification we will achieve something very simple, but important, which is that let's not have to sink the start button To make it work. It will be enough that we put our finger on the Touch ID, but without sinking it.

Zeppelin

Zeppelin

Will allow us set an image as an operator. With this we will get that instead of Movistar, Vodafone, etc, we see our name, for example. You can get very colorful banners.

CCSettings

CCSettings

It will allow us to configure the buttons of the Control Center, in addition to adding many more "levers".

SwipeSelection

SwipeSelection

Will allow us select text with just a swipe about him. It is much more comfortable than moving the limits that come by default in iOS.

As a bonus, since VirtualHome is only available from iPhone 5s onwards, I would add WinterBoard, which is a tweak that will allow us install themes like the one in the image that heads this article.

    I would put among other mxtube, dtunes, mseek, downloading free music is the best with these programs ... now I can't think of any more

    EMOJI is essential? If it only works with SMS sent to other iPhones ...
    SbSettings itself is essential (and more than all those named)

    Hi, I just uploaded my 2.2G to 2, but I can't find the bosspref in the cydia, does anyone know why, or is there a missing repo?

    The assortment of applications we have is shocking, I doubt that there is any mobile on the planet that reaches the sole of the chip.

    1. WinterBoard and Categories: The most essential with our jailbreaked iphones! it is to be able to "customize" them starting with aesthetics with this application, as a base.

    2. SBSettings, a discrete, expandable, memory-resident BossPreffs. I hope they continue to improve it (at first I did not trust me because of the bugs or memory use, now I always have it)

    3. Annottater or Stanza: The first PDFs, the second Ebooks. Since we handle so much information, what does it illustrate our heads a little? and by the way we are ecological.

    4. Clippy beta. In this line of managing "information" with our iPhones I think it is more important to be able to copy it from one location to another, than an application like Emoji.

    5. MobileInstallation Patch: we all know what it is for! no? he he.

    Applications that enhance our iPhone such as SmartPhone: iblacklist (call control), social network utilities, gps, games,…. It is impressive as I said at the beginning the potential that is being generated in our mobile station! 🙂

    Cycorder, SwirlyMMS, Snapture, Backgrounder, Winterboard
    Because I think they fill in some of the biggest loopholes on the iPhone

    clippy…. copy and paste on the iphone ...

    Hello, I have an iPhone 3G 16gb and the Emoji does not work for me, I download it and install it but I do not get any icon on the screen and it does not give me an option to anything in the notepad or in the sms to put the icons.

    Does anyone know how it goes?

    Thank you

    I like the sbsettings interface, but if I want to use the wikipedia online I need to force the bosspref

  9.   xkaxis said

    I think the cycorder is the best of the rank

  10.   fri said

    I think that by one or the other, the most used have already been named, I would add snapture of course, and change bossprefer for sbs settings that I found more comfortable to use, although sometimes it cheats when you turn off the wifi, which then you enter austes and continue switched on. That is if the emoji does not seem very useful, at least for me, but each one is a world.

    All those are very good, my personal list matches yours except for two differences, I would have included:
    STATUS NOTIFIER (Cydia): it is a little-known application, but I have a lot of appreciation for it, it simply serves to indicate the news of the status of your iphone in the hour bar, (a kind of istat), try it to see what such.
    AIR SHARING (AppStore): With this application we can introduce files (Via Wifi) and view them (PDF, XLS, PPS, DOC, JPG, and many more) on our iphone whenever we want

    A greeting

  14.   sting said

    Hello, very good, I'm new to the jailbreak roll and I don't know where I can find information about cydia applications. I would like to know if there is any place where they explain what each of the applications are for

  15.   sting said

    How can I transfer the videos recorded with the cycoder to the computer ???

  16.   Yum said

    Hello, I would like you to recommend me to download music for free from cydia because mewseek asks me for a PayPal account to download the music and to register.

  17.   daniel gasion said

    Well, from dTunes this very well you download them torrent type and then from there you can play them but you can always get into the order and via ssh you pass them to your iTunes multimedia library

    that loko dog is rude because he doesn't pay mom to touch her and get all the milk she respects

  21.   Ferdinand Pole said

    They got the most important tweak of all: Activator

  22.   German Silva said

    I'd trade the Zeppelin for the SwipeExpander.
