IconToggles adds useful shortcuts to your Home screen

As long as Apple keeps the system toggles buried in the Settings app in iOS, jailbreak developers will keep coming up with new shortcuts for users to access them.

ProgressPercent gives you the status of your app downloads

Allow me to introduce you fine folks to ProgressPercent. It's a new jailbreak tweak that displays a percentage indicator under the icon of the current app you're downloading, giving you a better idea of its status.

New DietBulletin tweak makes notification banners smaller

When iOS 5 launched last fall, it brought with it a slew of changes. Among those changes was an all-new notification system, which included a pull-down menu and new banner-style alerts.

SwipeType brings jailbreak tweak-like functionality to the App Store

SwipeType is a new note-taking application that offers up a slew of keyboard shortcuts that enable you to transcribe quicker. Functions like cut, copy, and paste, are all just a swipe away.

If this sounds familiar, that's because it is — it's extremely similar to the jailbreak tweak KBShortcuts. Except, unlike KBShortcuts, SwipeType is actually an app in the App Store...

We're a little bit late to the party on this one, but if you haven't seen this new OS X Pad HD theme for the iPad, you have to check it out. You've seen OS X themes before, but you've never seen anything like this.
