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

IrishVixen said:
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.

Tried this tweak myself today and absolutely loving it! The stock music player (lockscreen) is a joke compared to Spin. Really digging the circle scrubber which makes it so easy to fast forward songs.
Thanks for the tip!

Isn't it gorgeous? It just looks like something Apple would have come up with. I also like having the time still visible when I'm playing music. I ended up pairing it with LockGlyph...hid the play/pause button in Spin, and then moved the fingerprint animation of LockGlyph up to where that button originally appeared. Now I tap the fingerprint for play/pause. :p

I'm still hoping the Acapella dev can make his tweak work with Spin. Being able to just swipe left or right to change songs is easiest when I'm in the car.
 
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned HandyKey yet. Makes it possible to easily type with 1 hand on my 6 without stretching. Apple should have built something like this in from the start.

Instalmed beterrfiveicon and it screwed up the arrangement of all my icons

So what were u expecting? With an added column and five icons, how can your arrangement be maintained? It's obvious that each icon from the next row would get pushed to the previous row:
 
I am trying to get swipe up to close along with vertex. Means vertex works on home screen and using activator for swipe up for showing first springboard page.

However there is a very bad UI jerk. They overlap. Means first vertex launches for a millisecond and then goes to the first page.

Are u doing anything to achieve similar results?

Any suggestions?
 
Installed on iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1:

    Tage
    VirtualHome
    iCleaner Pro

And waiting for Auxo :D

I'm digging this also. Unfortunately, it created a 2 second lag when launching or switching apps (iPhone 6+ 64GB Verizon). When I uninstalled it, the lag went away. Anyone fixes for this?
 
I really like Spin as well :) Wish it had a volume bar control. I am not noticing any lags on mine

Weird. I haven't seen that on my 6. My only annoyance with it is that it doesn't work yet with Acapella, but otherwise it's been fine. You might consider sending the dev a note via Cydia so he can look into it.

Am I the only person who never uses on screen volume control? I always use the buttons, even when the on screen controls are available.

Lyricalizer has just been updated for iOS 8...for those of you like me who are too lazy to add lyrics to iTunes. I swear, I do not understand why this isn't stock in the the Music app!

(Works fine on my 6 when combined with Aria and Gesture Music Controls; couple of small bugs have been reported on Reddit. I haven't tested out with any apps other than Music, though it supposedly works with some of the streaming services too.)

Edit: Well, a couple days of use and I ended up deleting this one. Too many songs it couldn't find was one thing, but somewhere between it, Aria, and Acapella (which is the iOS 8 Gesture Music Controls), the music app would hang about a third of the time when selecting songs. Not worth it to me; hopefully it'll get sorted out eventually.

It says gesture music controls is not updates for iOS 8 yet. It asks to install acapella in its place. So which one are you using?

Sorry, using Acapella. I had GMC on 7, and that's still how I think of it. Both are by the same dev; not sure why he chose to change the name.
 
Currently running:

Activator - to allow me to just tap the home button instead of press.

Apex 2 - really like that I can group similar apps together.

CCSettings - for the added buttons in control.

CSwitcher - super convenient to have multitasking in control, works well with ccsettings.

F.lux - HALLELUJAH my eyes love this app.

HideMe8 - to hide all those apps I do not use.

iBlank - added an empty top row which makes it easier to get to my apps.

StatusVol 2 - volume hud in status bar.

Also have Safe Alarm, but recently the options haven't been in the alarm? This app is/was a must because it allows me to put my phone on silent and have the alarm volume still go off.

Apex looks awesome what's it like on the battery?
 
just wondering..
is there any tweaks that allows me to automatically rotate lock screen / home screen wallpapers every couple of hours or something that works stably?
thanks ♡

I haven't noticed any significant decrease in my battery. I'm a moderate to heavy user, and with apex installed I tend to play with my homescreen more too. (I.e. Swipe the apps, I like the animation.)

Just few days ago used to make screenshots, no more...wtf
