General Best Cydia themes, tweaks, and apps [MERGED]

[\-V-/]

Thanks...that Slacker Radio Premium sounds pretty good. I'll look ino it.

Eh... the Premium is $10 a month. That doesn't bother me because it's amazing, but the setup process is a pain in the arse. Because of some "limitations with iTunes" you have to first purchase the Pro account ($5 a month), cancel it via the iPhone settings, then wait a month for it to expire, then upgrade/subscribe to the Premium account after the first month runs out via their website. Insanely ridiculous, but it's really worth a look if you're interested.

I set up a shortcut under settings. I use zz for my personal email, xx for my work email and aa for my password (plus about 50 more).

Here's what I have now since I upgraded to 5.1.1 w/ fresh restore (list courtesy of appInfo export):

• AppInfo - 1.5
• AskToCall - 1.1-2
• Curiosa - 0.9~beta1
• Custom NC Background - 1.1
• FolderCloser - 1.1
• iFile - 1.7.0-1
• MobileTerminal (NEW) - 520-1
• NCSettings - 1.4-1
• OpenSSH - 6.0p1-10
• Popup Blocker - 1.7.0.14
• Springtomize 2 - iOS 5+ - 1.3-2

• WeeKillBackground Pro for NotificationCenter - 1.2.1
• WiFiFoFum - 2.1.6
• Zephyr - 1.3.2-1
• Zeppelin - 1.0

Thanks for the list just downloaded Zephyr which is sweet by the way. Now I can get food & beer on my finger and not cram it into the home button lol.

I also noticed that you are using FolderCloser. Springtomize also has a setting to close folders under/Folders/Auto Close. Just found that the other night and ended up deleting FolderCloser...

Zephyr - The best and once you install it, it will become your most used Cydia tweak by far. Gestures for multitasking and swiping away apps.

Navigate from Maps - Got a third party GPS like TomTom, Navigon, Sygic? This will make the iOS Maps app open up/send a location to those third party GPS apps.

Has anyone used BOTH Intelliscreen and LockInfo? I use lockinfo but never used intelliscreen. Which is better?

How did you do that

Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts.

It's like asking who is hotter - Kate Upton or Mila Kunis?

It's a matter of personal preference. I'm using LockInfo and I'm very happy with it. Others use ISX and report good things about it.

I've heard that ISX is somewhat of a battery hog though. Something to consider I guess.

Awesome analogy haha. IntelliScreenX offers built in toggles and is great for social media integreation. Lockinfo has an insane amount Of customizable features and you can theme it from head to toe. Lockinfo offers the notification center on your lockscreen, on your springboard similar to dashboard x, and obviously the traditional pull down NC. All notification center addons also are supported by Lockinfo. So anything you find on cydia for the NC you can use as a plugin in Lockinfo on your lockscreen or as a widget on you springboard.

Clearly I use Lockinfo and I'm a huge fan. Maybe some IntelliScreenX people can offer some more features that I'm overlooking to help distinguish the differences.

Both applications have been covered, reviewed and compared ad nauseam. Tons of info out there plus videos on Youtube. It will not be difficult to find enough info so you can make an educated decision of you are looking to install one. Oh and both offer free trials.

 

[AMC89]

Duh! Cheers

I can't seem to get lockinfo to work on my lock screen correctly. It will hardly ever show up and the few times it does, it's all jumbled.


Also what are the best plugins/add ons for lockinfo?

Thanks

Melissa,
that was one of the funniest things I've seen posted in a long, long time.
Keep it up, gurlfriend!

Considering that PMS Troll is now banned, that might be a little difficult.

I used both. Favor LS. ISX has some fun features—the tray, hiding on lock screen (which I loathe, but can see why others would love it). I don't like how notifications work vs how they work on LS. I especially don't like the rendering of emails.

It does have some neat integration with FB, Twitter, & RSS, if you want to actually use those from LS or NC (I don't). I think ISX works without many issues, looks great, and actually functions (usability) so-so.

I like LS so much more. I do like the tray, though!

Infinidock
TetherMe
3G Unrestictor
LockInfo

These are my favorite paid apps. I use LockInfo over ISX because ISX is notorious for battery drain, unless that has been resolved lately... maybe someone can update me.

FOR THE RECORD: Kate Upton.... youtube Kate Upton - Cat Daddy.

Google "kate upton mustache" and ya might reconsider.

Anyhow, LockInfo > ISX (just for the battery alone)

 

[ElZeus]

Tetherme, 3gUnrestrictor + any of the folder expanding apps.

I bought ISX, but after messing with it more, I really don't see the point.

Id rather use Tweetbot for twitter, and 3 seconds longer to get to the app is no big deal.

How come my LI is in different order. My favorites are at the bottom...

May switch to lock info. I just want a better notification center, not the twitter etc..

 

[BumpyFlatline]

I don't use IntelliScreenX for that same reason. It's fantastic if you're a big twitter and Facebook user but I don't use either lol. I just love all my info centralized with Lockinfo. Anyways, my post is to help you. Are you asking about plugin order in Lockinfo? If so, just go to settings>Lockinfo>plugins>plugin order

 

[iThinkergoiMac]

IntelliscreenX (for it's QuickToggles; prefer LockInfo for everything else)

Why pay $10 for ISX just for the QuickToggles when SBSettings does the same thing for free?

Thanks. I should have known that.

What are the best themes/ad ons/plug ins for LockInfo?

Should I get rid of NCSettings and replace with SBSettings if I'm going to use LI?

Between springtomize, Lockinfo, and ncsettings I don't need anything additional really. I love trying different notification center addons with Lockinfo. Just go to cydia, sections, addons (notification center) and have fun! You can use them on the lockscreen, notification center, or springboard. Plus if you want to get creative you can google how to theme Lockinfo yourself. Tons of possibilities if you're willing to put in the work. You an also download themes from cydia. But since iOS 5 came out, the file setup for Lockinfo has changed so you might have to use iFile to copy the theme to the correct folder.

I use an iPad 2 and I definitely do not regret paying for RetinaPad. For iPad 1 and 2, it makes Retina-enabled iPhone apps look less jaggy. Though with the iPad 3, it has been negated.
