SendAny and ReceiveAny are two jailbreak tweaks that work in harmony to let you send and receive unsupported files via iMessage.
Be sure to take a look at our full walkthrough for more information on how these two tweaks work together to make iMessage much more useful for sending files.
ReceiveAny is a free download, while SendAny will set you back $1.99. Both can be acquired via Cydia's BigBoss repo.
I'm absolutely sure that I'm in the minority on my thoughts about iOS' Spotlight feature. I actually find it useful and helpful for launching apps, finding emails, contacts, etc.
Many of you, however, loathe Apple's inclusion of Spotlight; deeming it absolutely worthless, useless, and a waste of time and energy.
For those who fall into the latter category, then maybe this jailbreak tweak will make you happy. It's called WebSpot, and it allows you to completely replace Spotlight with a customizable web interface...
Command+Tab is one of the most useful keyboard shortcuts known to Mac users. It allows you to quickly switch between applications using nothing more than a couple of keys on the keyboard.
CmdTab for the iPhone is a jailbreak tweak that is loosely based on what Mac users have been enjoying forever.
I say loosely based, because it doesn't actually allow you to select your running apps like on the Mac; instead, the developer decided to include a few predefined shortcuts that are accessible via an Activator action.
How does it perform? Take a look inside for the full details on video...
The original TouchPosé tweak left a little to be desired as far as options go, but TouchPosé+ seeks to change that.
TouchPosé+ is essentially the same finger tracking jailbreak tweak with a few more obvious options thrown into the ring. You'll find new features like custom image support, along with the ability to customize the circle's size and color attributes...
NCSettings is a free jailbreak tweak that adds an SBSettings inspired set of toggles to iOS 5's Notification Center.
While the description of the tweak may sound run of the mill, it's a beautiful looking widget that has a nifty trick up its sleeve.

Attacher is an alternative to the ReceiveAny tweak that we covered previously. It allows you to open previously unsupported files directly from within iMessage.
Although you can't use Attacher to send unsupported files, it's still a great free solution for those cases when someone insists on sending one to you...
PowerDown Clear is a free jailbreak tweak that allows you to multitask while on your power down screen.
All you need to do is hold the sleep/power button to power down your device like normal. Once the "slide to power off" message is presented, you will notice that you can still interact with whatever app is running in the background.

An exciting update to CardSwitcher has been issued on Cydia. If you remember our initial walkthough of the tweak, CardSwitcher is an alternative multitasking solution for iOS devices.
This latest update was totally rewritten for iOS 5, and includes live application views, updated swipe gestures, and a new grid mode aimed at iPad users.
Would you consider using the new and improved CardSwitcher? If so, you can find it on Cydia's BigBoss repo for $1.99, but it's a free update for existing customers.
Ever since we first saw the sneak preview of Ryan Petrich's CydiaBulletin, we've wanted something like it.
Now it looks like having notifications for Cydia updates is finally a reality, even if it's not exactly as Petrich had envisioned.
Aptdate is a new jailbreak tweak that will be soon available on Cydia, which provides banner notifications to alert you when there are updates in Cydia.
We've given it a spin on video, check out our walkthrough inside...
Although the whole Chuck Norris Facts meme has ran its course, apparantly there is a jailbreak developer that doesn't want to let it die.
Chuck Norris Facts for Chatbot is an AssistantExtensions plugin that will spout off Chuck Norris "facts" faster than Chuck Norris can roundhouse kick a saber-toothed tiger...
DockHide is a recently released jailbreak tweak that enables you to hide the dock on your iPhone's Home screen.
Along with outright hiding the dock, there's also a provision to stretch out the remaining icon spacing to fill the void from the missing dock.
All of this is accomplished by means of a simple Activator action that you can configure via the tweak's settings panel.
Check out our video walkthrough of DockHide inside...

Earlier we reported that a new jailbreak tweak was on its way to Cydia to enable push notifications in Sparrow. That tweak has finally touched down on Cydia's BigBoss repo for free, and we've taken it for a thorough spin.
Do the push notifications make Sparrow a legitimate Mail app replacement, despite the flaws that we uncovered in our previous video review?
Check out our video walkthrough of Sparrow Push for the answer.
