Backspace+ gives you finer control over backspacing in iOS
I can’t even begin to tell you about the countless times I’ve accidentally backspaced an entire body of text when I only wanted to remove a few words from a sentence. It seems like iOS’ automatic backspace acceleration that kicks in when you tap and hold on the backspace key can get a little too excited at times.
Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called Backspace+ by iOS developer Justin Petkovic provides some relief from this issue and makes text-editing more feasible on iOS devices.

First world problems differ from one person to the next, but having been in a situation before where someone pranked me by grabbing my iPhone and taking several screenshots of the Lock screen to fill up my storage space, I can’t recommend a new free jailbreak tweak called LSScreenshotLimit by iOS developer DGh0st enough.
This tweak helps you avoid issues like the one I described by limiting the number of screenshots that can be taken from the Lock screen at one time. In doing so, you'll also dodge unnecessary frustration and urges to strangle whoever filled your Camera Roll with repetitive screenshots.
Colorize your Instagram app’s user interface with InstagramUICustomizer
If you want to colorize your Instagram app’s UI to something other than the bland white it comes with out of the box, then we’d recommend trying a new free jailbreak tweak called InstagramUICustomizer by iOS developer Wylliam Altman.
Once installed, you can change the default navigation bar color of your Instagram app to anything you’d like and choose whether the tab bar at the bottom of the app will be light or dark.
