Posted March 19, 201410 yr From killing apps in the background faster to making better use of your Lock screen, these jailbreak tweaks make power users even more powerful! iOS 7 does what Apple wants it to do, and that's fine for most people most of the time. If you're a power user, however, and you want to go beyond the base functionality, if you want tweak things to make them even faster and more convenient, then that's where jailbreak comes in. But which jailbreak power-user tweaks are the absolute best? JellyLock7 JellyLock7 puts up to five of your most used apps right on the Lock screen of your jailbroken iPhone or iPad. You can also remove the stock Camera icon on the Lock screen if you'd like. Just tap on the circle on your Lock screen and the apps you've configured in JellyLock7 will fan out. Slide your finger to any one of them to launch it. Of course you can customize whether or not JellyLock7 can bypass your passcode lock in Settings. If you want to make better use out of your Lock screen, JellyLock7 is a must. Free - Cydia Link Activator Activator has been around just as long as jailbreak and it's still one of the very first things many veteran jailbreakers install.

Much more convenient than having to close them out a few at a time. If you like to kill apps from multitasking regularly, SwitchSpring lets you do it much faster than stock iOS 7 does.
