Tintch is a brand new jailbreak tweak that lets user colorize the switches and toggles present throughout iOS. Tintch allows users to customize colors for the on and off settings for switches.

Wallmart is a newly released jailbreak tweak that allows you to cycle through your favorite wallpaper on iOS 8.

Developer Philip Tennen showed off a new in-progress jailbreak tweak called Sireader that allows Siri to read RSS feeds.

Imagine driving in the car and having Siri read the latest stories from your favorite news feed. If Tennen's jailbreak tweak sees the light of day, this will be a future reality for jailbreakers.

Instead, I'm using FlipSwitch to toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other settings via the App Switcher. This is accomplished courtesy of a new jailbreak tweak called Cobalia, which replaces the recent and favorites shortcuts with user-customizable FlipSwitch toggles.
