Best Tweaks from Cydia

1) iSilent

iSilent is a super useful hack that puts the iOS device in silent mode whenever you are in a meeting saving you from those embarrassing moments. The tweak looks into your Calendar app and looks for the starting and ending time of the event. When you are done with the meeting the tweak puts the device back into the ring mode

2) iAppLock

iAppLock allows users to password protect any application on their device and prevent access to them. The tweak prompts for password whenever someone tries to open a password protect app and denies access if the password is wrong.

3) Cylinder

Cylinder tweak is a free alternative for the popular Barrel tweak that allows iOS users to have different animations on their homescreen. There are 45 effects available with this tweak and users can also create combinations.

4) Effects+

If the 9 filters offered by the stock camera app aren’t enough for you then install the Effects+ tweak from Cydia. It adds 23 new filters to iOS 7’s camera app in addition to the ones that are already there. The 23 new filters also include the PhotoBooth effects, which unlike the iPad are not available for iPhone and iPod touch users.

5) MessageSwiper7

When you are talking to several people simultaneously on iMessage jumping from one message thread to another can become tiresome. MessageSwiper7 tweak fixes that by allowing users to go to the next thread by swiping right on their screen. When you are swiping the tweak also shows the name and latest message from that thread to make things more convenient for you.

6) PowerBanners

Apple replaced the pop up notifications with slightly less obtrusive banners. While the new banners replaced most notifications iOS still displays the pop ups when it is running low on battery. The most annoying thing about these notifications is that they don’t go away until you tap on the ‘Ok’ button. PowerBanners changes this by replacing low battery pop ups with banners, which disappear after appear for a few seconds.
