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

DannyDrama said:
Mostly just because I'm pretty new to it all and still getting my eye in. I don't remember seeing the option in Springtomize but thanks for the tip!

Oh cause I was wondering. I think I saw someone else say they prefered the animations in noslowanimations. I guess I wanted to see if that was why you did too.

Can I ask why springtomize and noslow animations?
Click to expand...

Lol your question caused me to ask myself the same question and so I disabled noslowanimations.
Springtomize really has even more than I thought covered. I see a slight slower reaction and fade out with springtomize but it isn't a big deal.

Do you find that it makes you scan your thumb/finger three times every time? Is that by design or a bug? It'd be perfect if not for that.

Would you happen to know the difference between StatusVol & StatusVol 2. The developer doesn't seem to put many screenshots.

For me both looks the same.

To be honest, I installed it on release and didn't get around to ever using it. I think I'll remove it now.

Hi, I can't find this tweak on Cydia Untrusted Hosts Blocker.
 
Wow, a lot of you use A LOT of tweaks!

To me, stability and speed is of utmost importance. I just have a handful:

SwipeSelection
NoSlowAnimations
FlipControlCenter
Sleipnizer
MapsOpener
FakeCarrier
Bloard
BatteryLife

Thanks for the list. I really liked almpoum and itouchsecure. Never knew they existed.

Are they stable enough to not cause any crashes? And does itouchsecure affect the battery life in any sense. I ask because it would need to be running all the time.

Both tweaks haven't caused any issues for me. iTouchSecure for iOS 8 is well worth the few bucks... it saves so much time! Haven't noticed any battery drain. Highly recommend both tweaks!

does itouchsecure work with all passwords? even banking? and secondly, do you actually have to have touchid turned on for it to work? I keep it turned off

Yes to the banking question and not sure on if Touch ID needs to be enabled. I use mine so it's never been a thought.
 
What is everyone using now for mail attachments? I really don't want to compose a new email just to send a bunch of ss to customer support.

thanks for the reply, I just bought it and verified you do indeed need to have Touch ID enabled, which is no big deal, hell I need to be using it anyways for security sake
