My 10 Favorite Cydia Tweaks on iOS 8.1

HannanSp · November 21, 2014

Hello everyone,

Today I'll show you 10 of my fevret Cydia Tweaks running iOS8.1. This list is not in a specific order. please like/Thanks this thread if you like it and aswell tell me your fevret tweaks you would like me to try out

#1. Vine++

Vine++ was released about a week back. It’s a quintessential tweak for users of the Vine app. With Vine++ installed, you will be able to download Vine videos. But even more importantly, it turns off autoplay so if that feature annoys you, Vine++ can help you out there.

#2. Lockspeed

If you’d like to access your Favorite contacts quickly from the lockscreen (without inputting the passcode or unlocking the iPhone), you should check out Lockspeed. The tweak adds an extra screen to the lockscreen (swipe left) where you’ll find 9 of your favorite contacts on speed dial. The interface is neat and compact and the contacts are shown as avatars just like the ones you see in the task switcher.

#3. SBFlip

SBFlip is a cool little tweak that does two things.

It lets you control rotation of the homescreen/springboard on all iOS 8 devices. Currently, you can prevent the rotation of homescreen only by using the lockscreen rotation toggle (which prevents rotation everywhere). With SBFlip installed, you can have rotation for apps but toggle rotation for the homescreen icons.
SBFlip will also let you control the style of dock icons when you rotate the screen. You can pick from stationary or dynamic (which arrange/spaces the icons on the side as in iPhone 6+)

#4. BackupAZ

If you play around with the filesystem of your iPhone occasionally, BackupAZ should be a cool tweak to have. It takes essential backups of your device and stores it in /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/BackupAZ which you can then copy to your computer. Although it isn’t as extensive as an iTunes backup (it can’t be), it’s far simpler and easier. Most importantly, though, BackupAZ will backup all Cydia tweaks and their settings! Can’t beat that.

Price: $2.99 | Repo: ModMyi

#5. CalcBase

CalcBase is a tweak built for iPhone users who need to shift between different base operations (basically, students, researchers etc.) If you constant find yourself shifting between decimals and hex and binary and oct, CalcBase should be useful. Swipe on the LCD part of the calcular app and you can switch through all available bases.

#6. CroppingScreen

CroppinScreen is a Cydia tweak which lets you take a screen shot of selected area. When you press the home button and lock button together, you can drag your finger to select the area or part of the screen. And if you want to take a normal screen shot then simply press home button instead of selecting an area.

#7. UntetheredHeySiri

In iOS 8, you can invoke Siri without pressing the home button through a feature called “Hey Siri”. However, your device needs to be plugged in for this to work. UntetheredHeySiri gets rid of this limitation so that you can use “Hey, Siri” even when your iPhone/iPad is not plugged in.

#8. NoSlowAnimation

NoSlowAnimation lets you feel the flow of water. It allows you to speed up the animations and transition effects on iOS 8.x. Once you download the tweaks you enjoy zoom in and zoom out smoothly. Unlocking the iPhone feels much more snappier than before.

#9. Bytafont 2

Bytafont 2 is a Cydia tweak which gives you a bundle of fonts for your device. You can change the default font on your iPhone/iPad. You get a number of fonts to download too. As it does not get downloaded by default, you have to download the font you want.

#10. Activator

Activator is one of the most amazing and wonderful tweaks ever as it allows you to customize a ton of shortcuts for almost anything. You get a bundle of options to launch your apps/settings etc. And most importantly, you can launch your apps anywhere with any gesture you want, e.g. on the home screen, lock screen or when you are on a running application and more.

SmartTap is the best for iPads! It won't suit iPhones a lot since it probably wastes a lot of battery.
