@labman: I don't think they're shut down, I'm on the home page on my 4S right now...
My favorite tweaks are as follows:
SBSettings (adds toggles for WiFi, 3G, and much more to the notification center)
BlurriedNCBackground (gives the notification center an opaque type look)
MyWi 5.0 (wireless internet tethering)
KillBackground (adds an icon to the app switcher tray to close all open apps with one touch)
Activator (button based actions)
SpringFlash (flash light for use with Activator)
Springtomize (allows total customization of the springboard)
Zephyr (gives the iPhone iPad-like gestures, i.e. swipe from bottom to close app)
