I'm so tired of this question. I know that people are always saying "you don't need to jailbreak anymore"
"what's the point"
"blah blah blah"

So I thought I'd list the apps that I've downloaded that I think greatly improve the iOS experience, and are the reason I jailbreak:

-SB Settings: having to dig into the menu is a pain
-Fake carrier name: this one is gimmicky, but cool
-Five icon switcher: I like being able to see an extra app in the multitasking window
-Folder closer: I hate that folders stay open after you use an app (does this in android too)
-Icon re-namer: sometimes developer choose names that are either silly, too long, or too short
-5 icons in the dock
-Activator: add shortcuts to commands using gestures/hard buttons
-Winterboard: I understand many of you don't like themes, but I think it's cool to customize your device.

That's just the free stuff that I've downloaded so far. Paid apps I'm gonna buy:
-PDANet: I pay for unlimited data, I want to use it.
-IntelliscreenX: no need to say more
-BiteSMS: the stock messaging app is beyond limited.
-Adblock for Safari
-Call bar: status bar notification for calls so I'm not interrupted
-iFile: file manager.
-Infinifolders: only 12 apps in a folder? really? C'mon

There's probably so many more I'm forgetting... Feel free to add to the list :D

springtomize 2 covers most of the tweaks above. try that. worth the $0.99, especially you can tinker with the animation speed to make your phone feels faster when browsing menus.

PasswordPilot - not a major tweak, but beats putting your Apple ID password each time.

Celeste - a Bluetooth file transfer.

Spire - do I really need to explain?

WeeFlashlight for Notification center - adds a quick flashlight access right from the NC.

Zephyr - useful swipe multitasking.
