Our favorite releases this week

HomePlus Pro – $2.49

Jailbreakers have long recognized the importance of handset customization, and one of the places where a user’s personalized options shines is the Home Screen.

HomePlus Pro is a jailbreak tweak that lets users customize their handsets’ Home Screen layouts. With it, you can have a custom number of rows and columns, custom spacing, scaling, and more.

SmartNetwork 2 – $1.99

SmartNetwork 2 is a useful jailbreak tweak that gives users more control over their wireless connections, be it Bluetooth, cellular, or Wi-Fi.

In addition to controlling certain device behaviors when connecting or disconnecting from certain wireless connections, this tweak can display all previously-joined Wi-Fi networks and their login passwords in one convenient place for easy reference later down the road.
