With the recent release of the ever popular iOS 6.x Jailbreak comes a flood of new Cydia tweaks that will make your Jailbroken iDevice the envy amongst all your friends.

There have been some remarkable releases as far as Cydia Tweaks go and we have compiled a few of our favorites into a ‘Must have’ list.

Flex

For hands on and moderately tech-savvy users who want to try their luck at some basic tweaking, the Flex Cydia tweak lets you do just that. The developer has explained the tweak the most proficiently, stating that ‘Flex allows you to exercise the limits of your device by enabling you to make your own jailbreak tweaks. The Flex Community Cloud features tweaks shared by Flex users, and lets you download and install these tweaks instantly.’ While Flex isn’t extremely complicated and won’t allow you to design any over the top tweaks, there is a good chance you may end up doing something you’re not particularly fond of. But never fear, your new tweaks are very easy to disable and if all else fails to uninstall it will reset your device.

The tweak is available now from the Bigboss repo for $3.99.

Stride

Stride is a very exciting tweak which allows Apple users to use the standard Android feature of gesture unlocks finally. Thanks to this tweak you can now customize your Jailbroken iPhone to unlock with your own gesture. This is very exciting news for those who have been suffering from Android envy. It’s much more fun than simply entering a 4 digit pin and adds that personal touch to your device that Jailbreakers so desperately desire.

The tweak is available now for $3.00.

BiteSMS

This one is defiantly worth mentioning. BiteSMS allows users to access messages from anywhere on their device and will completely shift the way you use messages. It is designed as a full replacement of Apples built-in messenger app but has so much more to offer it leaves the native app in the dust. Its key features include Quick reply and compose, Auto forward and reply, Passcode lock (yes that’s right), Smileys, Signatures and Contact pics. And that’s only the half of them. It’s the sort of tweak that will see a multitude of iDevice owners Jailbreaking for the very first time just to get their hands on it.

The tweak is available now from the biteSMS website. Although it is free without ads for seven days, there is also license you can buy to get rid of those pesky ads for good.

Dashboard X

Finally, the ability to add custom widgets to your home screen. If it’s in your notification center, you can use Dashboard X to place a widget anywhere on your home screen, and they are fully resizable. Exciting huh? There is a bevy of new widgets being developed for the tweak that will make this Cydia tweak one of the ‘must haves.’

This tweak is available now for download through the ModMyi repo for $1.99.

We are expecting to see a whole lot more over the next few weeks, but if you’re just getting started with a recently Jailbroken device, this is a good place to begin. Go get your tweak on!
