My Top Cydia Apps for iPhone 3.0

So you decided to do it the hack way. First thing's first, I honestly don't think it's worth hacking your iPhone. I would recommend you either don't hack it or restore your phone now. If you want to find out for yourself then check out my guide and current top apps.

The best apps are available through the App Store, however these are my favourite core Cydia apps. I would recommend you don't download too many apps as many are not well designed or have various issues including conflicts.

1. SBSettings
Advanced settings (successor of BossPrefs). This app does not have a springboard icon, you access it byswiping your finger over the bar at the top of the screen.

2. Make It Mine
Edit carrier name and use Emoji characters. You can also remove both for a cleaner springboard.

3. WinterBoard (themes separate)
Themes and customisation. Successor to SummerBoard. You can download themes from Cydia including new lock sounds, wallpapers, icon sets etc.

4. Cycorder (video recording)
High quality video recording.

5. Video Recorder for 3G (video recording)
Allows direct uploading to YouTube, emailing and various recording sizes and formats (I have experienced errors with emailing videos and uploading to YouTube). Use Discover to download videos to your computer.

6. iBroke (game)
Prank your friends into thinking they broke your iPhone.

7. Installous (http://appulo.us)
Cracked apps from the Apple App Store. Just like your music, you too can have illegally downloaded apps.

8. CyDelete
Allows deletion of Cydia apps like normal App Store apps. If this is not installed you will have to go to the Cydia app and 'modify' current 'packages'.

9. Discover
Utilises a normal internet browser in order to allow access and the downloading of files from the iPhone (with Wi-Fi). Very simple to use and an ideal way to download videos recorded with Video Recorder and Cycorder.

10. Cydia (http://cydia.saurik.com)
App Store alternative, installed when you use redsn0w.
