Note: These are all jailbroke applications (for more info on jailbreaking…check out our f.a.q page).

SBSettings – SBSettings is a system application and easily allows you to toggle a variety of Settings such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Edge, Phone, SSH and Brightness. This is done by swiping your finger across the status bar which bring up the SBSettings application. You are also able to do things like respring your SpringBoard, view your IP address, turn off your iPhone and much more. The app is themeable and there are quit a few add-on toggles (such as Vibrate, Rotation Inhibitor, Autolock…etc). This is probably the application I use most often on my iPhone and is most definitly a must-have!

WeatherIcon – WeatherIcon is technically considered a “tweak.” This app adds the current temp and weather conditions on your stock weather icon and/or status bar. I haven’t done a review of this application lately but, it is much more user-friendly than it used to be. In the settings of the app (which are located in your stock Settings app) you have quit a few options such as the ability to turn on/off the status bar image and temp, the ability to choose where the weather info is pulled from, the ability to choose the refresh rate and even the ability to change the location as you travel.

Statusbar Notifiers – Statusbar notifiers are system applications that allow you to be notified when you have a missed call, text, email, voicemail…etc by adding an icon to your status bar. There are quit a few options for status notifier applications based on how much functionality you are looking for. Apps like Extended Preferences and Supreme Preferences give you statusbar notification along with a lot of other settings/system options. Apps like Notifier, StatusNotifier and Taskbar Notifier will give you basically just the status bar notification functionality.

WinterBoard – WinterBoard is a system application that allows you to theme and mod your iPhone/iPod Touch. It is here that you can activate themes and any other mod that is created for it. “WinterBoard provides hooks that let graphic artists safely and simply theme almost anything in Apple’s OS, including third party software downloaded from App Store.”

MakeItMine – MakeItMine is a utility that allows you to easily change your Carrier or Banner to whatever you would like it to be. This means you are able to change the Carrier logo on your statusbar to say your name or your favorite food or whatever you want! The same goes for your Banner…which is where your time is located on your statusbar. A very simple, but useful application.

CyDelete – CyDelete is technically considered a “tweak” in Cydia and is an application that allows you to delete Cydia applications right from your SpringBoard just as you would an App Store application. Personally, this is one of my favorite applications…it makes deleting Cydia apps much faster and much easier!

HomeScreen2.0 – HomeScreen2.0 is totally on this list due to personal bias…I love this lockscreen mod! HomeScreen2.0 is a mod that allows you to view a month calendar and a weeks weather forecast…as well as displays all your missed events…right on your lock screen. This “app” is not available in Cydia and does take some knowledge of SSH in order to install but, if you are interested, check out my step-by-step instructions on how to install it.

hClipboard – hClipboard is a system application that allows you to copy and paste information on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Until the 3.0 firmware is released…this is most definitely your best copy and paste option.

Emoji – Emoji is a “tweak” that allows you to activate the Japanese Emoticons on your iPhone. I’m not sure why Apple did not activate these on all iPhones to begin with! Once installed and activated, the Emojis show up as an option on your keyboard. There are a ton of fun ways to use these and they can be used almost anywhere the keyboard is available. The cool thing that is that even if a person doesn’t have this tweak installed on their iPhone or iPod Touch (even if their iPhone and/or iPod Touch is not even jailbroke)…they are able to see the Emojis if you send them a text or an email or a tweet that includes them.

Backgrounder – Backgrounder (or Insomina) is a system application that allows apps on your iPhone or iPod Touch to run in the background. This is perfect for apps like Pandora because you are able to keep Pandora playing in the background as you use other apps on your iPhone!

QuickGold – QuickGold is a system application that allows you to search for basically anything on your iPhone or iPod Touch. The app is easily launched by tapping the Home Button (single tap) while on your SpringBoard. You are then able to search for applications, contacts, sms, safari history…basically anything. It is similar to Apple’s Spotlight! Search on firmware 3.0.

Categories – Categories is a system application that allows you to create folders on your SpringBoard in which you can then add applications to. This not only allows for a more organized SpringBoard but, also the ability to install more applications than the nine page limit.

20 Second Lock Screen – 20 Second Lock Screen is a system application that will keep your lock screen on for 20 seconds before it goes into sleep mode. This allows for more time if you have a lock screen mod that displays information such as weather, emails, calendar events…etc.

Well guys, that’s the list. Let me know in the comments which of the apps are your favorites or if you have any additional ones!
