I'll go ahead and give you the reasons I JailBroke, and the apps (that atleast I consider) to be a necessity.
Activator - GET THIS APP. Plain and simple. This app is amazing if you're even in the slightest bit worried about someone taking your phone. The whole basis behind this app is that you can reroute different commands to do different functions than they were meant to do. So what if you want your home button to be the volume down button. You can do that. What if you want your phone to activate location services, 3G, 4G, LTE, whatever so you can locate the phone, all of which by a simple text message. Sounds a lot better huh? This app has all sorts of neat little quirks you can use and is considered invaluable to the JailBreaking community, and even required for some other tweaks.
iCaught u - So what if someone gets off with your phone and gets to someplace before you can send that text message? Here's where iCaught u comes in. This tweak allows you to, after a set number of wrong password attempts on your phone from the lock screen, send an email, location, map, and even picture of whatever the front camera is pointing at. I don't know about you, but any time I'm on my phone, it's bent at just the right angle to where no matter what, it's in perfect selfy view. Guess what that means for our crooks? Smile for the police!
Lock Safety - In leu of all of this, what's keeping bozo crook number one from just simply shutting down our phone? Well, this app will do just that. The downside of this app is that you no longer can turn off your phone from the lock screen, which is exactly what this app does. The crooks now have to go ahead and get past your lock screen pass code to get into your phone. With apple's new "do you trust this computer" feature, they have to get into your phone before they can do anything with it.
Q: sure these tweaks may leave my phone a brick for thieves, but these are no fun!! I want to be the Tony Stark of my phone. What do I do CenterBrick?
Winterboard - Most all iphone themes are processed through this app. You activate the themes through this app, and the app does the rest for you. Of course the themes are sepparate and you have to download them from Cydia, but atleast here is a start. There's some that are free, but a lot of the more elaborate, well updated themes cost money.
biteSMS - Others like different messaging apps for their phones. This one is my favorite. You no longer have to open the messaging app for your texts, and combined with a neat UI, this is what makes the tweak worth a "must have" sort of list. I haven't completely explored this app/tweak yet, but from what I've seen so far, it's very impressive.
If you have any issues with any of these apps (ie, I've had some issues with iCaught u in setting up the email a few tries), feel free to drop me a comment below. This is a working list that might get updated as I go.
Thanks guys!
