iPhone What tweaks do you use?

[gregski]

BTW, another website (iPhone-Developers) had a poll the other day regarding "The Average Jailbreaker" and completely ignored my demographic. 50+. Gad, I'm getting old

Right there with ya Cooknn. Where was all this technology when we were in our 20's?

The only technology I cared about in my 20's was Hydroponics

alarming - alarm goes off at full volume everytime

This works on iOS6 6.x?

 

[bmark]

This works on iOS6 6.x?

Yes, alarming works.

 

[fizz7283]

Figured I would ask in here as well since it's a pretty active thread.

Anyone know if the tweak "quick player for notification center" is compatible for iOS 6?

 

[iRetired]

And now for mine:

Accelerate
AdBlocker
AlwaysClose
BytaFont with Cartoon Font (for Buuf)
Color Keyboard (for Buuf)
Flex
iCleanerPro
iWidgets
ManualCorrect
OmniStat
ProTube
ShowCase
Springtomize 2
WinterBoard with Buuf theme installed

I bought, installed and deleted Auxo and replaced it with AlwaysClose. I know I could save space by replacing system files with the Buuf themed ones to eliminate Winterboard, but if another theme catches my eye, it'll be a pain to replace those all over again. I like the simplicity of a checkmark on/off in Winterboard. Hey, simple things for simple minds.

 

[LoloBond]

I use....

Activator
AdBlocker
Auxo
Barrel
BlurriedNCBackground
Bolt

iCleaner Pro
iFile
Jaku (Theme)
LowPowerBanner
Mail Enhancer Pro
MapsOpener
Mobile Terminal
MultiIconMover
NCSettings
Nitrous
Pro Tube
WinterBoard

and my phone runs smooth.. battery is like 2 hours shorter than before but I can live with that... I have chargers everywhere.

Which of your tweaks is causing a loss of two hours?

 

[BumpyFlatline]

Which of your tweaks is causing a loss of two hours?

I highly doubt its one specific tweak. My guess is that its a cumulative effect.

 

[LordQ]

ActiveDock - Mountain Lion dock and light indicator on running apps.
BlurriedNCBaxkground - Glassy NC!
Dashboard X - NC Widgets on springboard.
f.lux - Warmer colours at late hours.
FakeClockUp - Speed up system transitions and animations.
FastCopy - Removes the copy/paste menu delay.
Five Icon Dock - 5 icons on dock (you don't say!).
Forecast - Weather on lockscreen.
Glasklart - Awesome glass theme for springboard.
Hands-Free Control - Active Siri with a keyword.
IceStatusBar - Shiny status bar!
iCleaner - Removes crap.
Infinifolders - More icons inside a folder.
LandscapeVideos - Forces landscape video when tapping full screen, bypasses rotation lock.
NCQuickDismiss - Adds a little 'X' to close a notification banner.
NCSettings - Settings on NC.
No Carrier Name - Like I don't know who's stealing my money.
No Page Dots - Removes the spotlight and page dots.
NoNewsIsGoodNews - Bye bye newsstand!
SafariSwipez - Close Safari tabs by swiping up or down.
StillCaptureEnabler 2 - Take photos while recording video on stock camera app!
StatusBarCustomClock4 - Adds date to the status bar.
Unfold - Unfold to unlock.
WeeKillBackground - Kills all background apps.
Winterboard - Themes.
Zephyr - Multitasking gestures on iPhone.

On my iPad (Many from the above plus):

Safari Upload Enabler - Upload files from Safari.
Cascade - Coverflow-like effect on dock.
SpotRemover - Bye bye spotlight.
BannerDisble - No notifications (better than do not disturb)
LockSeconds - Displays seconds on lockscreen clock.
Clear Lockscreen - No grey bars.

And that's pretty much it

Just thought I'd let everyone know this tweak does work on iOS 6 and it's a pretty nifty little tweak. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Now I no longer need to open the music app to check what song is playing or change the song. As simple as opening the notification center.

After so many full restores before 6.1.2 stopped being signed, I decided to keep it as simple as possible, installing first only the really necessary stuff but then I decided to grow some balls a little more at the end.

Auxo
Boover
Flex (Only one tweak active - transparent status bar)
iBlacklist (That's one of the main reasons why I jailbreak)
iCleaner Pro (Disable a bunch of Demons I don't need (Daemons))
iFile
IntelliScreenX 6 (Installed 24hours ago and so far so good. No feeds, mail, twitter or facebook active)
Lockscreen Clock Hide
Mobile Terminal
Nitrous
OpenSSH
RespringCacheFix
Winterboard (18mb themes folder) (Jaku theme mixed with Ayecon and Carla)
Zephyr
Zeppelin

I'm having ZERO slow down on my iPhone 5 and trust me, I'm OCD about that.
After so many full restores and tries with my iPhone 4S and my i5 I can assure the battery drain is imperceptibly but then again, I don't keep chatting on my phone much, probably 10-20 iMessages + Whatsapp Messages a day, TweetBot and native Mail.app only for reading in manual push.
The only part of Carla theme I'm using is a few icons I switched with the Jaku ones and the minimalist lockscreen.

Screenshots below:

If anyone knows any tweaks to make my list smaller, I'd appreciate it

 

[Dizle]

Just got rid of Zephyr and Auxo, my battery life is way better only at 55% after a day of use. Normally I'd be almost dead so one of those is a huge battery killer

Zephyr is confirmed draining.

 

[Asator]

Zephyr is confirmed draining.

Worth it though.

 

[BumpyFlatline]

Worth it though.

+1. I'm not convinced it "kills" batteries either. I removed it and didn't notice any insane amount of battery life gained from not having it installed. But experiences with jailbreaking are pretty subjective so if someone removes zephyr and gains several hours of usage then who am I to say that's not true? I can only say that I didn't gain any noticeable battery life after removing it.

True brother.
That's the thing. We all have different tweaks and different tweaks have problems or conflicts with different tweaks.

 

[nanolife]

I have Auxo + Zephyr but you can check just a few posts behind the amount of tweaks/apps I have installed and I get nothing but the regular draining use.
I have DFU restored my i4S and my i5 many times, I mean it! Over 10 each, at least, always trying combinations of different tweaks and always starting fresh with a new restore to leave no doubt something was left behind still draining my battery. I must say I found the right combination for me with no abnormal loss at all!
I have so many things disable on my phone, weather for example is one, stuff always checking for my location, etc. Plus I don't use my phone as my computer replacement when I'm near it. I have seen so many people using both at the same time. Also, I don't use Facebook everyday, once every 3-4 days and only on my computer, twitter everyday on my computer, mostly at night on my phone.

It is all about the amount of tweaks you use, if there's conflict or whatever, and the use you have of your mobile. I just don't accept that the app X or Y drains more the battery than others because I have proof that the app/tweak itself doesn't! (Unless there's a memory leak or it is conflicting with other) I tested the major ones and I can tell.

Oh, and trust me, I'm an engineer.

How did you disable the weather? You mean location services?

 

[nanolife]

How did you disable the weather? You mean location services?

I meant the weather widget and in location services I only have Call Network Search on.

 

[Auxo]

I meant the weather widget and in location services I only have Call Network Search on.

You can have the weather widget in intelliscreenx but still have weather disabled. I think it saves some form of cache.

 

[braddick]

Omnistat for 5.0 only.

With all due respect, what does that have to do with the price of tea in china?
