Best iOS 7.1.2 Cydia Tweaks: Top 10 Tweaks for Pangu Jailbreak 7.1.2 - With Apple on the verge of issuing iOS 7.1.3 to the public (a firmware which will almost certainly patch the UnTethered jailbreak) and with the unexpected and undeniably welcomed Pangu jailbreak 7.1.2 release from the previously unheard of Pangu Team, the staff of Evasi0n Jailbreak felt it was a perfect time to share with our readers some of the best tweaks currently available in Cydia. Moreover, what would jailbreaking 7.1 through 7.1.2 be without the extraordinary Cydia developers on the jailbreak scene who create amazingly useful and unique tweaks? While that was mostly meant as a rhetorical question, we’ll answer anyway: bland and dull, it would be as if jailbreaking offered nothing other than a shiny new ‘Cydia’ icon. With that being said, if you feel lost and you’re not quite sure which tweaks and packages to download from Cydia after jailbreaking your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you’re on the right post - our detailed list can be found after the break!

Top Cydia Tweaks For Pangu Jailbreak 7.1.2

To preface, before rushing head first into the list of outstanding tweaks highlighted in this article, your iDevice must already be jailbroken on iOS 7, whether it’s 7.0 through 7.0.6 (the evasi0n utility) or iOS 7.1 through 7.1.2 (the Pangu utility). If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch has yet to be jailbroken, we recommend following either our comprehensive Pangu jailbreak tutorial for 7.1 and 7.1.2 or our older, yet equally as detailed, guide for jailbreaking 7.0.x.

Top 10 Best Cydia Tweaks For iOS 7.1.2 Pangu Jailbreak

In addition to the list of tweaks found below, we recommend watching the above video from popular iOS jailbreak YouTuber iCrackUriDevice for a visual representation and demonstration of said list.

1. Activator: the tried and true tweak that’s a dependency for a vast majority of tweaks also allows users to set various trigger actions for completing specified tasks - e.g. pinching with three fingers inside of an app to return to the home screen or pinching icons to lock a device. It’s safe to say that while Activator is most definitely a popular jailbreak tweak and is likely already installed on your device, its features and functionality are often overlooked.
2. Disable Parallax Effect is a tweak that may seem useless to some because it disables the home screen effect that slightly shifts and skews a device’s wallpaper and icons based on the physical orientation of the device, which can essentially be done without the tweak inside the Settings app. However, when disabling parallax without the aforementioned 7.1.2 compatible tweak, it also changes the opening and closing animations of apps. To fully disable parallax and save battery, without compromise, install Disable Parallax Effect from Cydia.
3. BiteSMS is a premium tweak that’s available for free for the first seven days - after the initial testing period, biteSMS simply displays a discreet ad until a license is purchased. As for features, biteSMS is a messaging app that allows for Quick Reply on iOS 7.1.2, scheduled messaging, auto-forwarding, passcode lock and so much more.
4. CCToggeles is, simply put, a free tweak that allows iDevice owners to easily customize the toggles available inside of Control Center. Furthermore, pages are added to the toggles section that can be quickly scrolled between for access to toggles that aren’t accessible without the installation of CCToggles.
5. F.lux allows iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users who are jailbroken on up to iOS 7.1.2 to enable an automatic screen filter of sorts that modifies the warmth of the display to hues that are easier and more forgiving on the eyes at night. Due to its incredible functionality, f.lux allows users to interact with their devices at night for longer periods of time while causing minimal eye fatigue.
6. TinyBar, as the name implies, shrinks the size of notifications on jailbroken devices to prevent any interruption when receiving notifications while simultaneously interacting with other apps. It’s the perfect jailbreak tweak for those who, like the writers at Eavsi0n Jailbreak, disdain the gaudy size of default notifications.
7. VideoPane is a premium tweak available in Cydia that provides the absolute best method for watching videos on a device that we’ve ever seen. VideoPane’s unparalleled functionality allows users to detach videos and have them hover over the display while concurrently using other apps - video panes can be manipulated in their size, position and even opacity!
8. Springtomize 3 - iOS 7 has a long-standing history and predecessor lineage of allowing for previously unthought of customization of a device’s springboard and its overall functions in general. For example, when installed on a device running 7.1 or higher, Springtomize 3 allows users to customize all aspects of folders, the dock, icons and the status bar, as well as the speed of default opening and closing animations and much more.
9. Virtual Home, the final free tweak in today’s list is exclusive to the iPhone 5s and the device’s Touch ID sensor. On an iPhone 5s with Virtual Home installed, users are able to simply rest their fingers on the home button instead of physically pressing it to return to the home screen. Furthermore, the tweak also allows for faster unlocking and custom multitasking and Siri activation.
10. MyWi is the last tweak in our list and is best suited for jailbroken iPhones and cellular-capable iPads, as it allows for the tethering of a seta connection over Wi-Fi or bluetooth. MyWi is often regarded as the best solution for concealing unauthorized tethering usage from carriers and as a tweak that simply does what it should.

Also, it’s important to mention that the above list of tweaks are intended for users who want powerful functionality with minimal flash, battery drain and loss of performance.

As detailed in the video embedded above, all of the tweaks highlighted in this list can be used without compromise and have virtually no noticeable adverse affect on devices that are jailbroken by way of the Pangu jailbreak 7.1.2 UnTethered utility.
