I just jail broke for the first time. What are some must have apps, not tweaks? Thanks
 
With iOS 8 there's not so many must haves anymore. I'd still like a good QR tweak/app like BiteSMS though. The only 2 I actually miss when not jailbroken right now are Showcase and RecentFacebook. So not really much of anything for me.
 
Springtomize
Winterboard
IFile
Noslowanimations
Cloaky
Nitrus
Folder enhancer
Ccsettings
Bytafont 2

They're my essentials anyway.
 
seriously...what is it you want your jb'd phone to do? there are a million tweaks out there, what do you want/need?

having said that :rolleyes: , here's my essentials:

mikoto
winterboard
hideme8
protean
activator
showcase
foldercloser
Unlimited iTunes Radio Skips
bdayspotify
simpler photos
silenceplease
noannoyance

Because had he used the app or the website to type his question instead of here for the 2000th time, he would have had the answer far sooner.

Instead of being a jerk, ignore the post and move on with your life. Your life must suck and be devoid of all happiness if you're spending your time criticizing people on a forum meant for people to help each other.
 
I have other tweaks installed, but these are the Absolutely Essential ones for me:
NoSlowAnimations (it's amazing how unbearably sluggish a stock iPhone feels now!)
VirtualHome (physical buttons are SO last century ;-)

Oh, I see OP asked about APPS, not tweaks. I guess Grooveshark and iFile are the only ones I use that would be considered apps.

Well I guess one could say the same thing in return ... since there are about 100 other "Best jailbreak tweaks" (they're called tweaks not apps by the way) on here, not sure why you felt the need to create another thread rather than reading those that already exists. I'm guessing because it's easier.... ????
 
Strangely enough, GOOGLE search would come up not only with the list of best tweaks, but also with many video tutorials. There is no better way to decide for yourself, what to choose as favorites :)
