I just jailbroke my iPhone 4 and I have no idea where to start.

What tweaks, hacks and apps should I install?

Is there a guide somewhere?

How do I do those cool home screen changes people are doing (without spending money)?

P.S: I do not want to pay more than .99 cents for any cydia app or tweak unless it's REALLY REALLY useful. Free is even better.

Thanks so much for your help.

Searching is your friend, friend.

My favorite JB-apps (iOS 4 & iPhone 4):

- SBSettings (with Serious SBSettings HD)
- XPandr (great shortcut-expander)
- Winterboard (themes manager)
- Wi-Fi Sync (enables wireless syncing with iTunes)
- Activator (activation of apps an plugins via gestures)
- biteSMS (replacement of the built-in SMS app)
- Firewall iP (monitoring and control of outgoing connections, a musthave!)
- Infinidock (enables scrolling of the dock and manages the icons, replaces Five Icon Dock)
- Infinifolders (lifts the restriction of the 12-app-limit of the folders)
- Insomnia (maintains the WiFi connection, even when the screen switches off)
- Insomnia Toggle for SBSettings
- Remove Background SBSettings Toggle (removes/kills all apps)
- Autolock SBSettings (manages autosleep)
- SBSettings VPN Toggle
- Lockinfo (in my opinion the best lockscreen-app)
- Notifier (adds taskbar notifications. Must manually install libstatusbar)
- OpenSSH (enables remote access to the iPhone; SSH/FTP)
- PDF Patch (protects against the known PDF exploit)
- qTweeter (best Twitter & Facebook updater! Slide-in feature)
- Rotation Inhibitor (manages screen-rotation via SBSettings)
- SnapTap (take pictures using the volume controls)
- SpringFlash (enable flashlight via Activator setting)
- Glasklart HD Theme (icon theme)
- CyDelete (uninstall Cydia-apps directly from the springboard)
- Cyntact (show profile pictures in the contact list)
- iFile (a file manager and viewer)
- SBRotator (enables springboard-rotation)
- Action Menu & Action Menu Plus Pack (additional clipboard action, e.g. Favorites, History, ...)
- Snappy (opens a camera app from anywhere, even from the lockscreen)
- Multifl0w (Exposé for iOS)
- Exchange Unlock (no need to type in a security code)
- iLock (replaces code-input in the lockscreen with the android-like unlock method)
- ForwardMsgFix 4.0 (from apt.iphone-storage.de/ disables the Call Forwarding message)
- Call Controller (manages the behavior of receiving calls)
- MobileVolumeSound (adds the volume sound known from Mac OS X)
- MusicBarExtended (additional themed music controller accessible through activator gesture. be sure to get several MBEx-Themes)
- Push Notification Toggle
- Notified Pro (enhanced notification app)
- Notification Bar for Notified Pro
- Notify Pro Toggle for SBSettings
- SwitcherPlus (tweak some settings with the apple task switcher. repo: http://www.switcherplus.com/cydia/spbeta1.0)

still not iOS 4 compatible:
- Orbit
- OverBoard
- proSwitcher
- MobileTerminal
- ReflectiveDock
- Safari Tab Closer
- Sleep To Lock

A lot of it is just trying and finding yourself. :)
