Top 10 Best Cydia Tweaks

Don’t know if you noticed, but there are no tweaks in App Store. This rule is imposed by Apple so that no one would alter the iOS, thus making one of the many reasons that the jailbreak procedure was born. But for what are these tweaks, and what their role is. Well depending on the tweak each package can have a big or small impact on your iDevice. If you want to get tweaks without any hustle I suggest you do it through cydia, if you do not have it already go ahead and get a cydia download. Cydia is App Store’s counterpart, the place where you will find apps and tweaks that will not find in App Store. Just like earlier where I presented a list with the best cydia apps this article will list the best cydia tweaks that I recommend you should have.

This list will cover tweaks that will help you improve the user experience, appearance and how other apps will behave.

Activator – is the tweak that I love the most, it changes the way on how to use your iDevice. By making a set of custom actions and gestures interacting with your iDevice couldn’t be easier.

Browser Changer – we all get tired by Safari and have installed other web browsers like Chrome. The downside to this is that all browsers don’t have a built in option to set as default a particular browser. Well this tweak does the job perfectly.

CustomNCBackground – this simple tweak will change the background of your Notification Center.

Skyra1n – if you had problems with Spire this is the answer for you. Just like Spire this is a port of Siri. If you have second thoughts regarding battery usage and ram usage do not get alarmed because it does not create any of these problems.

Fakeclockup – reduces the time for animations thus giving the feeling of running much faster. If you have an older iDevice this is a must.

Barrel – tired of sliding pages and want to try something new, Barrel can make this transition or the show of apps more interesting.

Switcher – brings another row to app switcher or should I say multitasking bar. But this is not all you will get an enhanced brightness adjuster, a shortcut for settings, a brand new music bar and also a kill-app button.

Zephyr – if you have an iPod or iPhone and want the multitasking gesture of an iPad Zephyr fills this gap perfectly. This way you can switch more quickly between apps with iPad gestures alike.

ColorKeyboard – if you want to fresh up your keyboard this tweaks can change the design of your keyboard.

AnyLockApp – this tweak is perfect; I always wanted to access an application faster. We are all familiar with the camera shortcut in the lock screen, what if you can change the functionality of that button to a predefined app. Well AnyLockApp gives you this opportunity.
