Recommended Cydia Apps

For iPhone 3G / iOS 3:
Backgrounder + ProSwitcher - good combi for multitasking

Categories - folders

Cycorder - video recording

Five Icon Dock + Five-Column SpringDock - squeeze more icons into one page

SafariQuitter - iphone 3g has very little memory and safari takes up a considerable amount of memory. install this to force safari to quit running in the background after exiting


ALL:
Auto3G? - we know 3G drains our battery fast, so this app is supposed to save battery by switching to the slower EDGE network when the phone is in lock mode. tried on my iphone 3g but it was not working though

AppSync *must have* - allows cra*cked apps to install

AdBlock - block ads on safari

BiteSMS *must have* - a powerful SMS app, comes with sms counter, quick reply, quick compose, etc

CyDelete - allows you to remove Cydia apps as with normal apps. very convenient if you like to test Cydia apps

iAdKiller - block iAds

Insommnia Pro - allows WiFi to run in lock mode

Lockdown Pro / iProtect - individually password protect your apps

MakeItMine *cool* - change your carrier name

NoSpot *remove annoyance* - removes spotlight from displaying and getting in the way when browsing between pages

SBSettings *must have* - a quick and convenient way to toggle settings

Rotation Inhibitor - adds a toggle to SBSettings to enable/disable rotation. useful if you like to use the phone on your bed

ShakeToUndo Killer *remove annoyance* - disables Shake to Undo feature of iOS. remember this popup that comes up accidentally while typing at times?

Snappy *must have* - allows you to activate the camera without exiting an app. snappy can be accessed from the lock screen also. very convenient. my fave feature is to be able to use the physical volume buttons as a shutter button

3G Unrestrictor - makes apps think that they are running on WiFi so that they can run on 3G. useful for apps like WiFi-restricted apps like Facetime, Skype and Youtube?

ToneFXs - shuffle ringtones & customize sound effects

AndroidLock / AndroidLock XT - change your lockscreen similar to an Android OS

iBlacklist / MCleaner - block/filter calls or sms

LockInfo/Intelliscreen - powerful lockscreen customisers

Winterboard - themes for iphone

QuickLock / QuickLock 2 *must have* - reduce the amount of abuse on your physical lock button as it acts as a lock button. i place it at the right corner of my dock so it becomes very convenient to lock my phone

Infinifolder / Folder Enhancer - remove 12 icon limit in folders and many other folder tweaks

MxTube - download from youtube

iFile - file manager and viewer

iBluetooth - first app that enables the file transfer via bluetooth

frash - flash for the iphone if you still insist, but be warned it is not stable

Added in 2011:
FreeSync - allows you to use your Device while it is syncing with iTunes

CallLock - locks your iPhone screen during a call

Recent/CallLog Delete

SMS vibration boost

Kuaidial - vibrate on call getting through, send sms to predefined groups

MyWi - wifi tethering for iphone! super useful, lets your iPhone act as a wireless access point. this feature will be included in iOS 4.3


*Please note that some apps mentioned are actually paid Cydia apps, so if you want to use it, you have to find a workaround. simply, some repos host cra*cked versions of these Cydia apps. of course do support them by purchasing if you like their apps.
