Obtain your iPhone’s UDID with ease via the new Unique jailbreak tweak

Add neat blur effects to your jailbroken iPhone’s wallpaper with Amēlija
Wallpapers are a highly personal choice for customizing the look of your Home Screen, but in many cases, images used as wallpapers can make the Home Screen look too busy with all the app icons overlapping everything.
