Vote now for your favorite Jailbreak hack! - TiPb Awards
Man I like your comment and it is so informational and I am definetly going to save it. I Have to say the Superb analysis you have done is greatly remarkable.No one goes that extra mile these days? Bravo. Just one more tip you caninstall a Translator Application for your Worldwide Readers ...
Why isn't FolderEnhancer one of the alternatives?! It does so much more than InfiniFolders - folder pages, faster folders, subfolders, etc.
Whoops. ToneFX. Should have been.
SoundFX. Makes my phone sound like my phone. And not every second iPhone in the room.
SMS GV Extension all the way! (I love getting google voice SMS through BiteSMS). Or FolderEnhancer.
folder enhancer and sbsettings
MyWi
My vote is for Folder Enhancer. I understand that Infinifolders do essentially the same thing, but I prefer the presentation of Folder Enhancer where it presents pages within the folder. I'm not sure if Infinifolders does this as an option. I've always seen screen shots where you can scroll up and down within the folder.
Sbsettings!!
RemoveBG / MultiCleaner
why pay for Auto3G when you can just keep 3G off with sbsettings and turn it on whenever you need it. I keep it disabled all day and my battery isn usually around 60-70% by the end of the day
Folder enhancer
Lokinfo
I go for Lock Calendar and SB Settings.
Bite SMS
lockinfo, hands down.
Mobile Volume Sound - you can now set 2 volume levels, one for OS and another for iPod volume.
I think Full Screen Safari and Haptic Pro are my favourites. So many superb little tweaks out there though. To anyone who puts down the Jailbreak world, you ought to bear in mind that a lot of your iOS 5 features have already been done.
Seriously? I could have sworn that I had WeatherIcon like mid-2009. I vote FolderEnhancer. I have serious RAM deficiencies on my 3G, and it uses SO much less than the default folders. Like virtually none :D
Auto3G without a doubt - saves sooo much battery!
I think the half wiener ruler is my favorite. I just hold the iPhone next to my dong and from speaker to headphone jack is how big half my unit is. Its great!
iBluever
Backgrounder + Cirtuicous
Frash
All on iPad...
pure
Whoa. There were two pages of comments (duh). Just read Allyson's comment and it all make sense now :)
I move that the nominated jailbreaks be reevaluated. How is Lockinfo and MiWi not included?!? What about BiteSMS or iRealSMS? Sorry if this comes off wrong, but that's a pretty crappy list mi amigo.
My wi 4.0 is the only reason why I jail break my iPhone 4. I use it with my iPad 32 GB. I use my Unlimited Internet. (and my 3G sorry i use face time with my son his (4 years). His on my MacBook pro and am on the iPhone.
RemoveBG is my new besty! Swipe left with activator.
WeatherIcon
It helps me to know what to expect when i first open my eyes in the morning :)
Auto3G. If you don't know what that is, then you're missing out big time.
Im holding off on BytaFont until they give options for each setting like fontswap did. Right now I just use iFile to change fonts and its quick and easy...
Lockinfo. It used to be Intelliscreen but Lockinfo has improved so much lately.
mywi, use it at school too frequently. <3 unlimited data.
MyWi 4.0 and LockInfo. period.
Good grief, people. READ.
You guys need to read the blog. These are HACKS/TWEEKS not APPS... A separate APPS category is coming...
Inteliscreen.
Gridlock
Ireal SMS. Sb settings. Miwii. My 3g
Lockinfo, iReal and bite are all missing from the voting options, sorry to say :-/
3G Unrestrictor, BiteSMS, Shrink, Activator, TetherMe, Synchronicity, Infinidock, App Switcher Mod, FolderEnhancer, iFile, HapticPro, & SBSettings. All need to be added to that list, and if you don't have any of the apps I listed, you need to get them
No Lockinfo? Are you kidding? I've never even heard of Bytafont, and I can only guess what facebreak is. (I hope it's not literal) Did Chad write this list?
SBSettings will always be the extension I can't live without
FolderEnhancer
EASILY SBSettings
Lockinfo
MyWi for sure, that should of been one of the choices.
@Penny_Case actually no, Most jailbreaks like greenpois0n are now open source. We know exactly what we are getting. Remember that iOS 4.0 had a major pdf vulnerability that would have allowed someone to steal your personal info. It was a JB dev that pointed that out and basically forced Apple to patch it...
Winterboard.
@LzarEus, Yes I wish that iBlacklist was in the App store. Being able to block certain numbers would be very helpful. Also I wish there was a feature to block Phone calls all together but still be able to use everything else. Like internet, email and so on.
Sorry to get completely off subject but Allyson Kazmucha is right,
"Guys, keep in mind for an app or tweak to win it had to be RELEASED in 2010 or receive a MAJOR upgrade in 2010. By upgrade it needs to be huge or completely rewritten. That’s why you don’t see SBSettings and some others like MyWi. Not to mention, as Farbod said, we will have a separate category for jailbreak apps. MyWi is an app, SBSettings is a tweak, yes but it isn’t on the list because it was released way before 2010."
@At Nick, I understand. We only know what were told. I did read that somewhere, about it making your phone vulnerable and drains your battery. It could of been this blog but I'm not 100% sure. Next time I will do more research, Thank You.
I'm with the iRealSMS group but the main reason I've done jailbreaks in the pass was strictly for iblacklist.
Yeah Nick. The only bad is taking someones(Apple) idea, dream and creation and hacking it, Real Original ;)Either way its stealing, sorry but thats just my opinion.
Lockinfo...wouldn't go without it!
SbSettings ftw!!!
@penny and creative minds
Think and read before you post.
Don't get brainwashed, basic jail breaking does NOTHING bad to your device. The only vulnerability it opens up is your own missteps. Basic jailbreaking is as safe as it can get. Simple as that.
Do your research.
Not sure anyone actually read Allyson's post...
MyWi
I know I'ma get stoned with Philly and Penny for saying this but I will not be Jail Breaking my Apple devices as well. It leaves your phone vulnerable. I can at least say I trust Apple way more then any creator of any of them Jail Break servers your opening your phone to.
Please follow me on Twitter.com/Penny_Case Thank You
MyWi for sure
My greatest are sbsettings, lockinfo, and bitesms, so I guess I don't have a favorite released in 2010. Actually, I've never heard of any of these apps.
Never again, so tired of having to re-do my phone everytime an iOS update comes out. I'm sure there are ways around it but I gave up and I'm sure Apple can tell when you plug your phone into iTunes. Plus I know it drains your battery because more things are running and leaves your phone vulnerable to different things. Just saying, be careful.
SBSetting
quickReply

iDroid/Bootlace
SBSettings
Safari Home Page
These are JB tweaks guys, Jailbreak Apps like BiteSMS will be in a different category...
Bitesms
PhillyComputerSpot = Steve Jobs??
Lockinfo!
Isteamy lol
Call me lame but I wouldn't Jailbreak any of my Apple devices, There perfect as they are.
I know this poll isn't for jailbreak apps, but the my fav tweak is QuickReply as part of iRealSMS!!
iRealSMS all the way!!!
Infinifolders for those of us who demand orgaziatiom without chaos.
SBSettings, Notified Pro, and 3G unrestrictor are some of the most useful as well.
Lockinfo
Mywi all the way!!!
SBSettings
Ultrasn0w and if that doesn't count My3G
mywi definitely. It is the only actual reason I jailbreak.
Why oh why is MyWi not in this list - the only reason I need to jailbreak still! :)
