    Ask Tii - What are some good Jailbreak Apps

    Hi Rob,

     

    I am new to jailbreaking (less than an hour ago).  And I was wondering what are some of the Jailbreak apps you or your listeners have recommended and why. 

     

    Thanks

    Hi Steve,

     

    There are many Jailbreak apps that have been talked about on the shows in the past.  Whenever I talk about one I put it in the show notes and put "cydia" after the App name - so all you have to do is search for "Cydia" at the home page to see which episodes a specific app was talked about.  That all said here is my current list of Apps I or listeners have recently recoomended and the issues they fix / solve.  

     

    iUser - Allows for Multiple logins - Just on the iPad.  Warning - uninstalling can be difficult. 

     

    PDAnet - Allows you to turn your iPhone into a WiFi Hotspot and has an option to hide how the data is being used - ie AT&T can not tell you are creating a hot spot to tether your laptop to it. Free trial for about 10 days.  

     

    Notified - Similar to the new Notifications Center in iOS 5. 

     

    WiFi Sync - Similar to the new Wifi Sync in iOS 5.  Yes Apple took the App name and features and almost the same icon.

     

    PhoneitiPad - Turns a 3G iPad into a Phone.  Because the HTC Evo is just not big enough as a phone already.

     

    Xpandr - Autotext shortcut expander - similar to the new feature in iOS 5. 

     

    Auto3G - Turns off 3G when not in use - helps save precious battery life and should have been a feature in iOS 5 but is not. 

     

    Backgrounder - True backgrounding of apps - so they can keep running in the background.  Nice for IM apps and iOS devices not running iOS 4.x

     

    3G Unrestrictor -  Tricks Apps into thinking the iOS device is on Wifi - for those that require wifi connections. 

     

    Five Icon Dock - Allows 5 items in the dock - not for iPad (does bad bad things to the iPad)

     

    SpoofApp - Allows for Recording of Phone Calls

     

    ScreenSplitr - Mirror iPhone on to Computer.  Nice for doing screen casts of your app in action.

     

    Multiflow - Scroll left or right to other open apps (required backgrounder) 

     

    Lockdown - Password Protect specific Apps - Also should have been a feature in iOS 5 - guess there is always iOS 6.

     

    These are by no means all the great apps for Jailbreaking just some of those I hear from listeners on a regulare basis that they love and that I also really like.  

     

    Please add in your favorite Jailbreak Apps in the comments below and why you like said apps.
