2. Asos

3. AnyDrop 3

AnyDrop 3 tweak makes iOS’s AirDrop feature what it should have been. It allows users to share files with other users via Bluetooth. The best thing about it is you can share file system files with other people using this tweak as it features a built-in file explorer with root level access. It is available in Cydia for $2.49.

4. Browser Changer

The name of this tweak is pretty self explanatory. It allows users to set a third-party web browser such as Chrome as their default browser. This means all the outside links will automatically launch your specified browser instead of opening Safari. It is available for free.

5. Badgomizer

As someone who always has loads of pending notifications I can say badges are among the most notable aspects of my device’s homescreen. While you can’t get rid of them altogether, why not make them suit your taste with Badgomizer. This tweak allows users to customize the icon badges in iOS 8 letting them change color, shape, position, size and more. You can get it from Cydia for $1.49.
