iOS 6 in and of itself was a big bummer considering backgrounder has been abandoned. Would pay someone something to use the same source code and make it work for 6.1.2.
I won't be updating because I need all of my tweaks and apps:
I also DON'T need the "stocks" "passbook" "game center" "weather" "calculator" apps on my phone. I don't need 3 of those and I have WAY BETTER apps from the app store that replace the other 2. I also like to hide apps on my home screen and instead put them in sbsettings dock like mail and facebook.
Tweaks and jailbreak apps I can't live without:
1. accelerate-speeds up the UI of all animations, making it super faster.
2. activator-enabling custom gestures to control all aspects of the phone
3. applocker-adds a password in order to open any app of your choosing
4. autoLSmusiccontrols-automatically shows music controls on the lockscreen when playing any music.
5. bitesms-send sms on your lockscreen, you basically don't ever need to open the sms application on your phone. Tap the volume up button, tap on the volume HUD, an sms box will pop up and you can send/receive texts while in other apps without needing to exit the current app you're on.
6. bulletin-notification center on the lockscreen
7. calendar pro for notification center-adds a full calender to notification center. You can open the mail app from it as well.
8. caller id faker-well duh...
9. confirmsms-adds a popup asking if you want to send or not. It's good for people who accidentally tap "send" when you're trying to tap the p or whatever. And makes you think for a second if you've send a mean text or something.
10. corner-volume-You can move the vlume HUD to any location of the screen. I have mine in the top left corner. Makes it so it's less intrusive.
11. dimmer-Control the brightness FURTHER to make it almost black or completely black. This is for using your phone in the dark when the stock lowest brightness is STILL not low enough. You can make the brightness lower than the stock settings allow for.
12. dimissmykeyboard-Just swipe down on the keyboard to make it go away. Just like how an iPad does it.
13. fast copy-Gets rid of the delay from the moment you tap a word to the time to get the "copy, paste, whatever" box to appear. Makes it faster.
14. f.lux-In the dark, you can turn it on. Gets rid of the blue bright white tint that prevents melatonin production in the night. Makes the screen a more sepia tone, good for the eyes. You can turn it off am on whenever you want.
15. quick clear-on notification center, automatically shows the "x" buttons and "clear" buttons. You don't have to tap on it a million times just to get rid of the notifications.
16. iFile-Just like finder on a mac. Shows all the root system file folders on your iPhone and you can edit/delete them from there.
17. infinifolders-Add as many apps as you want to any folder instead of just 8 or 12 or whatever the hell that small number is.
18. ipsum-Get rid of notifications on the lock screen by sliding the slider to the right and then the left.
19. iSHSH it-Saves your SHSH blobs to cydia.
20. kuaidial-block numbers from calling you. You can add to the blacklist or make a whitelist
21. munualcorrect pro-Apple's spellchecker SUCKS!!! This is way better and not intrusive.
22. maplocker-Saves maps tile cache so each time you open maps it doesn't need to load all the tiles again.
23. NCquickdismiss-adds an "x" to the right of all banner notifications that show on the top of the screen so you can quickly get rid of them instead of them just floating up there for like a million years.
24. nospot-Gets rid of the intrusive spotlight page completely.
25. popup blocker-Get rid of popups just google it.
26. remove background-Quickly wipe out all apps in the task switcher by an activator method. This is used in conjunction with activator tweak.
27. SBsettings including my toggles for airplane mode, autolock, invertcolors, rotation inhibitor, and user agent faker-Access settings straight from anywhere on your iphone instead of having to exit your current app, opening up settings, pressing a million buttons just to turn on/off certain things on your phone such as data, wifi, etc etc. You can also clear the RAM of the device, making it faster, and shows all processes running and gives the option of closing those processes to make your phone faster.
28. sms blocker-Block numbers from texting you.
29. sms timestamps-Puts the date and time on EVERY text sent and received.
30. snoozeorstop-Adds "stop" to all alarms. Convenient for people who are NOT morning people and hate mornings.
31. sprintboard-You can go to certain pages on the home screen way faster. You don't need to swipe to any page and have it take a million years just to get to the page you want to go to.
32. swipeselection-Go back to edit typing super faster than holding your finger on the word, having the magnifying glass come up, screw with it to get it to the location you wanted, THEN edit it...easily go back to text super faster.
33. UDIDfaker-Fakes the UDID of your phone for apps of your choosing. Like if you want to make a new account on apps or something.
34. unpower-Makes a sound when the charger is pulled out from your phone. Slightly different sound than the sound that occurs when you plug the charger into your phone.
35. vibraficationsfree-Adds 2 vibrations for texts, and 3 vibrations for all other notifications.
36. volumecustomize-You can make the volume HUD a different color, more opaque, more see through, making it almost invisible so that it's less intrusive.
37. 20 second lockscreen-well duh...makes your lockscreen stay on for 20 seconds or more, whatever you choose, instead of the stock 10 seconds which is not enough time at all.
So for all you non-jailbreakers out there, what do you think of this??
The only really good thing about 6.0 that I like is the turn by turn maps (I mean, it makes it easier to use the maps apps while you're DRIVING..and I don't condone using a phone while DRIVING but come on we all use the maps app while DRIVING) I like it better than the tiny "next" button in all previous versions of maps. And since I'm on tmobile on a factory unlocked iphone, I now have access to 3g. Yay for tmobile redoing their 3g.
