SliderWidth is a jailbreak tweak that does exactly what its name states — allows you to adjust the width of your iDevice's "Slide to Unlock" bar.
But that's not the only trick in this tweak's bag; it also allows you to use custom slider text, remove the Lock camera button or photo frame button, along with being compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

AppMosaic — the App Store app discovery tool that we recently previewed — has gone live on Cydia.

If the YouTube comments from our ShowFlash video is any indication, by and large ShowFlash is a worthless tweak.
Fortunately I don't look at comments to judge what I absolutely should or shouldn't try.
Granted, as far as usability goes, ShowFlash is fairly devoid of any worthwhile usefulness, but that doesn't mean you should absolutely avoid it, does it?
