I can change my default apps (browser/maps/etc).

I can have F.lux

I can speed up UI animations

I can unlock the faster Nitrous Javascript renderer for 3rd party apps (Apple gimps 3rd party browsers by restricting this but w/ jailbreak, I can bypass Apple).

I can install different UI interactions that I prefer like swipe up from the bottom edge to close an app (probably won't work well in iOS7 but in iOS6 it was fantastic).

I can install a tweak that saves all Snapchats for unlimited time and adds a lot of stuff on top of Snapchat discreetly.

And just a lot of little tweaks that I really enjoy having.




Yup. Browser defaults, Swype selection, and f.lux alone are enough to jailbreak.


I just discovered Flex* today, another must have.

* It's an easy way to flip values for tweaks for apps and Springboard. Saves a lot of time vs one by one installing these in Cydia. Eg: Staff Mode for Instagram, 5 icon dock, remove ads... Plus many users have saved tweaks to Flex's cloud.


Staff Mode for Instagram?
