100 Jailbreak Tweaks You Should Know About

Sebastien, Jan 24, 2012

With the recent release of the untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2, the time has come for many of us to install some of our favorite jailbreak apps and tweaks again. Because there was no jailbreak for your iDevice for a few months, you might have been out of touch with the tweaks that recently came out.

But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! We handpicked 100 jailbreak tweaks we think you should check out. Take your time to peruse this list. We’re confident you’ll find a few tweaks interesting enough to install on your freshly jailbroken iPhone 4S or iPad 2…

If that’s too overwhelming, we did all the legwork for you and have selected the best jailbreak tweaks for iPad and 10 awesome tweaks for iPhone 4S.

Note that all these tweaks are not necessarily “must have” tweaks. They are tweaks that were released in the last six months that we think you should know about and take a look at. So don’t be surprised if you don’t see BiteSMS, LockInfo, or SBSettings in there…

    Thanks for this, this was very helpful indeed because i was trying to find the best ones for the 4S

    Wow. Awesome list. Just a small mistake, the link to iKeyWi is wrong. It’s pointing to SwitchCleaner.

    • http://www.iDownloadBlog.com Sebastien

      Fixed. Sorry about that.

    Is there a tweak to re-add the 3G toggle in settings?

    Also I was wondering if its possible to take the baseband of, say, iOS 5.1b3 and add it into iOS 5.0.1b?

    • Anonymous

      I’m sure if it was possible to switch out basebands they would have done it already and there wouldn’t be the constant stream of people that harp on about when an unlock is coming out lol

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002299879250 Bodrul Jamal

        Well I’m trying to deduce why I keep getting invalid sim on ios 5.0.1 on my iphone 4s. I did find a workaround by updating (not restoring) my firmware to 5.1b3 which has the newer baseband. My phone is factory unlocked. Anyway, seeing as 5.1 cannot be jailbroken (and also the only the newer firmware with the 3G toggle) and 5.0.1 keeps giving me invalid sim, i think if it was possible to switch off the 3g antenna maybe that might fix the invalid sim issues. But I definitely know 5.1b3 contains some files that fix the invalid sim/no sim card issues on the 4S.

        I really need a jailbreak. Its not even for the apps. Its for those beautifully little tweaks!

      • http://www.facebook.com/matthewebarnett Matthew Barnett

        Restore to the second release of 5.0.1 9A406 I think is the version. This has a baseband upgrade that is supposed to fix this issue.

    • http://twitter.com/ProZack27 Zachary Sloane

      I just use the 3G toggle in SBSettings and it works fine.

    hahahahah “no, thank iDB!”

  • http://twitter.com/BryantAllred Bryant Allred

    THANKS! great list!

  • Anonymous

    At least 80 you really don’t need to know about, some are a waste of time and serve no purpose other than draining the battery and slowing the phone lol but thanks for the list :)

    • http://twitter.com/christodouluke Luke Christodoulou

      I’m sure those 80 tweaks are here because batteryhog and rameater were such popular tweaks.

  • http://twitter.com/nAcolz Acolz

    I hate how SBSettings makes notification center laggy on my 3GS :(

    • Anonymous

      so why dont you remove sbsettings toggles from the nc? isn’t it enough to have in the drop down sbsettings windows?

  • http://twitter.com/klouud Timothy Polumbo

    I’m gonna go minimalistic this go round so here are “possible” installs for my 4S:

    pull to dismiss – maybe
    PDANet – required
    Call bar – probably
    iFile – required
    3G unrestrictor (plus the toggle)
    UISettings – is this customizable? Does it support 3G unrestrictor toggles?
    Terminal – required
    SBSettings – depends on how useful UISettings is

    Definitely no winter board! – gonna theme manually that includes info.plists, icons, UI elements, and fonts.

    Has anyone seen the new Doritos commercial that the guy uses “Siri” to get him more Doritos. You guys should check it out!

    Hello iDB. Is there an unlock for the iPhone4s

    • http://www.iDownloadBlog.com Sebastien

      No

    • http://www.facebook.com/Shoonchy Hoon Ali

      Read First, then ask questions please

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Christ-Tumagcao/100001954420174 Christ Tumagcao

    I have no idea what this website has against LockInfo. Time and time again it is ommited and completely ignored when discussing jailbreak tweaks.
    LockInfo is one of the most customizable, encompassing and in-depth tweaks. Check it out.

    • http://www.iDownloadBlog.com Sebastien

      We don’t have anything against LockInfo. This is a list of newer tweaks (6 months or less).

  • http://www.facebook.com/jacer.lee Jacer Lee

    After looking at this list, i realized how far IDB have come over the years =) great job and keep it up

    • http://www.iDownloadBlog.com Sebastien

    bitesms not on your list?

    I love these lists you post on iDB. Can you do a top repo list too?

    • http://medialogic.posterous.com Jared Parmenter

      This!

      And also, I’d love it if you guys would post a breakdown of exactly which tweaks you each personally use on your phones.

      A list of 100 is useful, but I’m running into a lot of conflicts and buggy usage. A list of ” Here are the 29 tweaks I use, and they all work together” would be equally as nice!

  • Tanay Topaç

    You should check them out and definitely add to your list:

    - Bitesms
    - Safari upload enabler
    - AnyAttach
    - Sleipnizer for safari

    Hey Sebastien, Ipsum is redirecting me to AllMail instead.

  • http://twitter.com/iAhMeDz_ Ahmed Safwat

    Jailbreaks were made for us to unlock Apple’s hidden features, and they were made free for everyone.. I personally jailbreak for Installous and the cracked apps from the AppStore. Isn’t it annoying when some of the best jailbreak tweaks cost money? Now I need a jailbreak to the jailbreak, to download those jailbreak tweaks cracked…

      Poor people are always gonna want things for free. Not too much you can do about it.

    • Yehudah Griffin

      There are FREE apps and PAY apps. You should always support the hard work of others, that’s what we do here. For you to admit to steal PAY apps, you should be hanging from your thumbs!! Bad Ahmed, real bad.

    • http://twitter.com/r0cket1000 Tony M

      OMG I totally agree with you. Isn’t it also annoying when you take your car to the mechanics, they service your car, and then they want to charge you? It’s like…Why are you charging me? Why don’t you just work for free??

      */sarcasm/*

      • http://twitter.com/klouud Timothy Polumbo

        Yeah, and I hate it when I go into Wal-Mart, load up my cart, go through the checkout, and they have the nerve to ask me to pay for the goods that I want to take home with me!

        I am completely entitled to those groceries because my ethics and values say so – therefore they need to respect my immoral lifestyle and let me have the goods!

        What is wrong with the world?!

  • Anonymous

    OK, these are only TWEAKS and you included several of the useless/pointless tweaks that Jeff like to show us. But now, we need a list of APPS so you can include iFile, biteSMS, SBSettings, PkgBackup, Activator and many others great apps.

  • jose castro

    u forgot lockinfo

    How about the best FREE tweaks?

  • http://www.facebook.com/masonicninja Michael Scott Allen

    100 tweaks and you can’t mention OpenNotifier?

    • http://www.iDownloadBlog.com Sebastien

      Read paragraph 4 again

      • http://medialogic.posterous.com Jared Parmenter

        Wait which paragraph number am I supposed to read? I only read the first two words of your comment, before posting mine. Isn’t that how this game works?

        Also, why didn’t you guys mention LockInfo and BiteSMS in your ‘article’?! This is a travesty! #angrynerd

  • Anonymous

    Is there any tweaks that speeds up respring?

  • Dan

    imo, the best essential tweaks were not mentionned in this article, and a lot were useless since they are incorporated in springtomize 2 which is already in this list.
    ie:
    bitesms, folderenhancer, gridlock, perpagehtml, ifile, infinidock, iretina+, killbackground, sbsticknotes, sleepfx etc.

    I love intelliscreenx but it isnt ready for ipad2 yet. If you install it and reboot, it causes a layout problem on springboard. intelliborn I know is working on it but I thought I would get the warning out to everyone.

    • http://twitter.com/drmishphilly Steve Beisel

      Looks like intelliscreenx pushed out an update to fix this issue and it runs just fine now on my iPad.

    Thanks for reminding me why I don’t bother to jailbreak. Can’t say a single one of those tweaks appeals to me, plus I’m happy to pay a couple of bucks for my apps so I don’t need to jailbreak and pirate them.

    Forgot a couple good ones here: folder enhancer (folders within folders), BBsettings, InfiniDock, Infinifolders and spire. Maybe these have been out longer than 6 months. Just thought they were worth a mention.
