Hey guys, this is Austin and today I'm here with the top jailbreak apps
and tweaks for 2013. To start with we have Auxo which is a great
overhaul to your multitasking. With a quick swipe from the bottom you
can see your open apps with full thumbnails. This is a nice
improvement over the stock icons and on top of that you can also
easily close them by pushing the cards down. In addition if you swipe
to the left you get access to your audio controls including play, next
and previous track and the volume. Swipe over one more time and
you'll see quick settings including brightness along with Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth and mobile data which is easily one of my favorite tweaks
for iOS. What really impressed me is how polished and smooth Auxo
is, Apple could easily include this in iOS 7 and no one would complain.
Definitely worth the $2. Moving on we have another great tweak,
Zephyr. This is also for multitasking as it allows you to swipe in from
the side to change apps and it works even better than on the iPad.
Performance is excellent and you can customize how many fingers
you want to use as well as disabling it in specific apps if it causes
problems. The gestures also work to quit apps, simply swipe up from
the bottom to close an app which is especially useful if you have a
broken home button. At $5 it's a bit pricy but combined with Auxo it
makes navigating your apps much quicker. Something iOS has been
lacking for a while are widgets but that's exactly what Dashboard X
adds. All you need to do is hold down like you're moving or deleting
apps and then press for a second and then you can add new widgets.
By default you can use the Notification Center widgets however there
are many more you can download in Cydia. For example I have a
flashlight widget on my homescreen which is something I love on
Android and an info widget along with battery life and a quick tweet
link. For $2 this does a lot to make it easy to do simple things without
diving into a app. If you have an iPhone 3G Unrestrictor is an
awesome tweak. It allows you to do anything over cellular, including
4G LTE, that you can over Wi-Fi for example if your carrier blocks
FaceTime or an app forces a low quality video while on mobile data.
All you need to do is download the tweak and unrestrict any apps you
want and it's all automatic from there. It's not for everyone but for $4
this is a must have for me. If you want to really customize your device
your first download should be Winterboard. This allows you to theme
almost every part of iOS including custom icons, full skins for apps and
more. This is one of the original jailbreak tweaks so you'll find
thousands of themes that have been made over the years, many of
which are really awesome. An old school favorite of mine is Glasklart
which has a huge amount of icons and gives a nice transparent look to
your homescreen. For free if you're interested in customizing the look
of your device Winterboard is a must. These are just a few of my
favorite tweaks, be sure to drop your favorites in the comments below!
