iPhone What's your favourite jailbreak tweak and why?

Auxo is my favorite so far. Love the fullscreen app previews and the easily accessible toggles.

I was really looking forward to Lockinfo and have been pretty disappointed so far. I've sent the developer an email outlining the features I think should be brought back and I encourage anybody else in my position to do the same.

Whats that addon/widget called for killing apps right on the homescreen?

There are two that I am familiar with. KillBackground which is free and allows you to kill all apps in the switcher with whatever action you choose using activator.

MultiCleaner which is a paid app and more robust giving you more options and choices to close all or single apps and is my favorite. However, it is not updated to work with 6.1 yet so waiting for update.

Currently using the first but really do not like its limited options.

Hope this answers your question.
 
My first and foremost App is MultiClieaner: This amazing app shuts down ALL apps in the switcher with your choice of an Activator gesture and you can also setup a gesture to just plain shut down the current app your on/using. It also allows you to customize the multitask bar however you like. You can reorder apps, pin apps for quick access and so much more. Currently not working for 6.1 on iPhone5 so hope it is updated soon.

2) Springtomize 2: gives me the ability to customize using only one app instead of 7 and allows me to not worry or mess with winterboard and theming anymore. I can still get a unique look, dock, and other options with only one clean and kept upto date app. The Dev is always fixing bugs and adding to it with each release.

3) Gridlock: Allows me to place apps anywhere I want on my springboard. Which it was part of Springtomize but so far is the only function left not to be added. However, be warned, does not currently work with 6.1 but is being fixed by Chpwn right now.

4) Dashboard X: Allows me to put the finishing touches on my iPhone and add much needed widgets which is what Apple should have done in the first place. Apps are nice but Apps and Widgets are even better and imagine if you had your choice of widgets in the App Store...WOW!

Those are the first 4 and most important apps I will always have on my iPhone.

I also carry:
iFile and OpenSSH to go in and add .png files to Springtomize and edit code.
No Icon Shadows until Gridlock is fixed
SMS+ a much better app then BiteSMS IMO and made by the same Dev as Springtomize.
 
Auxo + Springtomize 2 are my two favorite tweaks by far.

Springtomize 2 lets me tweak so much of my phone/ipad and doesn't run down the battery as much as having all the individual tweaks installed. For instance, Instead of having NoSpot, NoNewsIsGoodNews, Bolt, Infinidock, and tons of other tweaks installed, I can just use Springtomize 2 to tweak all that and more. It saves my battery life and makes my devices run more smoothly because I dont have to have all those individual tweaks installed anymore.

Auxo adds multitasking functionality that I use constantly. I love being able to kill apps so quickly(or even all apps at once) and I get to see a live preview of the currently running app. I am a big fan of the music controls and toggle sections of Auxo as well. They blend in with the native iOS UI very well, while still providing the functionality that I liked from SBSettings.

As you can see, I love using tweaks that are a combination of a bunch of little tweaks. I have found that they cause less conflicts between tweaks, are more stable, and dont drain your iDevices battery life too fast.
 
Just starting to get mine in order, but one of my little favorites has always been WiCarrier, just because I really like to be able to see the wifi network name that I'm connected to easily. Heck, it already surprised me because I forgot about my phone being able to connect to 5 GHz now, so I didn't realize my phone was using that network.

I am curious are people using Auxo and Zephyr on the iPad as well? It seems kinna useless since the iPads already got the swipe gestures

Infinidock? How does Springtomize perform this tweak (what setting).

Just go to Springtomize 2 in your Settings. Then tap on Dock. Then toggle "Use Custom Number" to the "on" setting and choose how many icons you want right below it. You can also enable to CoverFlow effect as well if you'd like.

Kind of wondered what that did....

I might try that, i like Infinidock alot, but using less tweaks is allways better IMHO. One thing i can do with Infinidock is pick what "dock" page to start on, i have it set to page 2 so all i need to do is a right or left slide to see my 3 dock pages.
 
In no particular order but my absolute favorites are NCSettings, iFile, BiteSMS (with Activator of course), Flux, Zephyr, CallBar, DietBar, DietBulletin, and Webscrollian.
