BrowserDefault lets you change the default web browser on your iPhone
Some people love iOS’ Safari web browser, but if you’re the type of person who would rather use a third-party alternative like Chrome or Firefox, then you might be disappointed to learn that Apple doesn’t let you configure a default web browser apart from Safari.

Customize your Lock screen text’s aesthetics with Fabric
One of the best ways to show your jailbroken device off to the rest of the world is to customize how it looks, and a newly-released jailbreak tweak dubbed Fabric by iOS developer CreatureSurvive will help you do just that.
As you might’ve noticed in the screenshot examples above, Fabric lets you get creative with the text strings that appear on your Lock screen; this includes, but isn’t limited to, the date and time. Not only can you change how large the text is, but you can choose custom fonts and formatting, among other things.
This tweak can hide apps from your Home screen
If you have a lot of apps on your Home screen that you don’t use as often as others, then you aren’t alone. The most common solution to this matter is to cram those apps into a folder; but if you’re OCD like I am, then you may not want to look at an unwanted folder icon either.
Here to help with this dilemma is a newly-released jailbreak tweak called HideYourApps by iOS developer Menushka Weeratunga. With this tweak, you can hide specified apps from your Home screen, eliminating the need to make an unwanted folder to house them.
