There's certainly no shortage of jailbreak tweaks that allow you to customize your device's slide to unlock bar. There's Springtomize 2 and SliderEnhancer to name a few.
As you've probably already guessed, we have another one to add to the pile today. Like the aforementioned utilities, SlideToMod is a new tweak for iOS 5 that allows you to customize the text in your device's slide to unlock bar...
Ever since the possibility of a Siri Proxy server was first unveiled, it's been all the rage. The promise of being able to run Siri on older devices? Count me and about a million other people in.
Now you can hardly look around without seeing some blurb about a 3rd party Siri server, and although security (or lack thereof) is still a big concern, it's apparently not concerning enough to keep the masses of pre-iPhone 4S owners away.
Andrew Sheridan, one of the primary folks behind the i4Siri project reached out to me about a month ago asking me to try his Siri server. Here are some of the results of that trial...

Have you ever wondered what files a specific jailbreak tweak places on your device? Have you ever wondered where the files are stored?
If so, you could always fire up iFile or use an FTP utility to go digging around in your file system. Or, you could just head to Cydia and utilize a provision that's available for every package you have installed on your device...
Let's just chalk TerminalActivator into the "I do it just because I can" category.

Jepit is a jailbreak tweak that attempts to add new app switching animations to your iDevice.

Neurotech Siri is an absolutely amazing looking theme for Siri, and really, the pictures and video don't totally do it justice.
This is a WinterBoard theme that features almost 300 frames of animation on the Siri logo, and you can tell from the fluidity and smoothness when invoking Siri.
Other Siri themes have changed the mic color, or added an Apple logo, but those all pale in comparison to this...
This past week saw the release of some awesome tweaks like MyAssistant — a Siri tweak that adds a great amount of new functionality to Siri. There was also RingerX VIP, the ringer and vibrate customization utility, along with Zeppelin — the custom carrier logo tweak.
