iPhone 6/6+ users: What tweaks are you running?

Ok thanks I'll give it a try. I'm using that Aeternum Apple Watch UI. I wonder if it works with that also?
Not seeing any mention on it being unnessasary in iOS 8 on Google searches just now. So I could be wrong but you might be confused with something else.
Also can anyone suggest an app like BatteryDetective? Not sure it works on iOS 8 on an iPhone 6+
I saw somewhere also where it was said the Nitrous wasn't needed anymore. I don't remember where tho.
Anyone using HapticPro?
Which source/repo did you get it from that allows it to work?
This was one of my main misses from my Galaxy phones and if I can get that for the 6 Plus, I would be extremely happy.

I have it installed, from the big Boss repo I believe. Only works on stock kb, not 3rd party.
Anyone seeing extra drain from DetailedBatteryUsage? I installed it and UntetheredHeySiri and the Substrate Safemode update yesterday and I'm seeing much heavier drain.
Also saw a few random resprings since yesterday so unsure if one of these is to blame.
Not to mention I'm seeing locationd as a Background activity taking up 32% of usage today. I'm guessing it's one of the above 3?
If so I always love eliminating unneeded Cydia stuff, so if you do find it drop it here.

How does scrubradio work for you? Another poster was looking for something that would give unlimited similar to Pandoraskips and unlimited iTunes for Spotify. Does that work for that and how did you download it? Thanks
Can't you just run a benchmark with nitrous installed and then one without nitrous installed to see if it is actually needed or not?
Probably, but I'd need to know how they usually benchmark and the free time

Run this test on the 3rd party browser versus safari or with/without nitrous installed: https://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html
Well i Use on my 6+

sorry i'm just getting back. Been worn out the past few days. It seems to be working pretty good so far.
The one I'm having issues with right now is YouTubeToMP3. It doesn't want to add to a playlist after I download. It just gives an error with no explanation.
Also, another good one is songzadownloader. songza is kinda like beats but free.
Really happy with my iPhone 6 now and battery life is just as before i jailbroke it. My top 3 are VirtualHome, Tage & SwipeSelection
The only ones i`m missing now are BiteSMS, ScrubAround, QuickContacts, SpyPhoto, TapToSnap & Carplay Activator. Auxo would be nice as well but with Tage working so well, i really don`t see the need for it atm.

6/6+ users: What tweaks are you running?
Not many for me:
- Activator
- CCControls (waiting for an update to support IOS 8 without crashing)
- f.lux
- iBlank
- iFile
- No Annoyance
- Notification Privacy
- Powerdown Enhancer
- Zeppelin
Before anyone mentions it, the reason I'm waiting for an update to CCControls rather than using CCSettings is because the former allows me to keep Control Center enabled on the lockscreen but disable certain buttons like Airplane Mode from being used.

I believe that's it. Little brother is my primary reason for jailbreaking. Bytafont icing on the cake. The rest I can make do without! No more battery drain after deleting flux!

Please tell me there are exceptions to this rule... what if you get important calls from outside your contacts list? what if a friend uses the mobile phone of a bystander because his/her battery is drained, someone is in the hospital and they try to reach you... lol?
On topic: I've added Spin to my list of tweaks, which is a lockscreen music player that I'm really liking. With these larger screens, having the controls at the bottom of the lockscreen is so much easier to use for me. Also added Acapella, which is the successor to Gesture Music Controls....love this tweak, but it has no effect on the LS when combined with Spin just yet, which is a bummer. Dev pledged to take a look at that once his finals were over.
And I've gone from tolerating Aria as a replacement for BlurredMusicApp to absolutely loving it. The queue function sees WAY more use than I ever expected, and the grid view is far nicer than stock. This is what the Music app should have been in iOS 7/8. Thanks to all who recommended it.

Way off topic, but...
No, there are no exceptions unless I'm actually expecting a call from an "unknown" number, and the scenarios you describe are non issues in my life. I've run iBlacklist for nearly 5 years under the same setup, including during a number of family emergencies. If someone needs to reach you urgently, they WILL leave a message, guaranteed. Voicemail and answering machines have been around for decades, and people know how to talk to them. (Even some telemarketers have learned to leave messages, which is a pity. Those numbers then get blocked from reaching VM too.)
The outbound numbers for the local hospitals are easily obtained & added to a whitelist or contacts, if you're that concerned; at least around here, like most legitimate businesses, they've figured out that it's best not to have outbound calls show as blocked or unknown for this very reason. Same thing for auto repairs, veterinarians, etc. As for friends, they all know if they want an immediate, real-time response, text me from any phone; I don't mass-block texts. So that leaves people I know who are in need of bail money as the only ones who can't reach me easily, and those folks should be spending their one call on a lawyer. LOL
It's not a setup that works for everyone (not recommended for parents of small kids or business owners, obviously), but neither is it the problem it's made out to be by some.
