Best things to do:

ADD THESE SOURCES FIRST:
oopen cydia manage>sources>edit>add
1: cydia.xsellize.com
2: theiphonespotrepo.com
3: sinfuliphonerepo.com
4: cydia.hachulo.us
This will allow you to get Cydia apps for free, these are literally the only 3 sources i have

APPS

1: Activator: attach commands to several different actions, such as starting apps
2: SBSettings: allows you to tweak your iDevice settings on a whim
3: Winterboard: Lets you get themes(most work with winterboard)
4: lea: the most amazing theme ever
5: lea SBSettings: adds a matching theme to your SBSettings
6: *Safari Download Manager: Allows you to download almost anything in safari
7: *Safari Download Plug-In: get this INSTEAD of #6 if you plan to get dTunes
8: dTunes: allows you to get free music, its a bit of a pain though to use
9: Iconoclasm: allows you to do mess around with your icon layout, even more if you get add-ons for this app(which are free)
10: Rename II: allows you to rename cydia and appstore apps
11: Installous: lets you get free appstore apps
12: *AttachmentSaver: allows you to save email attachments
13: iFile: allows you to browse, edit, move, create, delete, etc. the files on your iDevice
14: Backrounder: allows you to multitask with almost ANY app
15: Categories: arrange apps into folders or even hide them altogether
16: *gameboy4iphone: gameboy and gameboy color emulator
17: *nes4iphone: NES emulator
18: *snes4iphone: SNES emulator
19: iTransform to iPod: if you are using an iPod Touch, this ‘Theme’ will transform your ‘music’ and ‘video’ icons into an ‘iPod’ icon just like on the iPhone
20: Lockdown: This will let you create a password, and password protect selected apps with it
21: Mobile Terminal: This app is used for SSH’ing, not used often but very good to have handy
22: *myTunes: this allows you to find your music/videos when you are in iFile
23: *OpenSSH: lets you move files between your iDevice and your computer(with SSH client ON computer)

if an app on this list has a (*) then it should only be downloaded if you get iFile, as most deal with iDevice files which can only be dealt with using iFile

ALL of these apps can found with the four sources above, if you cannot find them in search then go into each individual source to check

NOTE: OpenSSH isnt very useful if you have iFile, Safari Download Manager, and AttachmentSaver because you can just email yourself the files and open them on your computer/iDevice

NOTE: a good number of these apps are apps you have to PAY for on cydia normally, but not if you find their free copies on one of those 4 sources. If you do not like the idea of this, i am just warning you now

Hi, Get Installous. It’s a great app, and you get any normal app from the app store for free. Go onto cydia, go on manage, add, “hackulo.us” and then get the app. GREAT

If you want to get a great theme then try out illumine, it has over 3000 icons.
Also, SBsettings is a must for j/b devices as it is fast and easy to use. If you didnt know you can also theme your SBsettings.

One of my favorite themes is called Lea, A second is Blackberry Impression, Another is Vista Sidebar. Have you tried Dock or Quickgold. Dock is hard to explain but Quickgold is a app launcher but it’s far cooler than any others. Clicking the home button when on the home screen will launch it.

I have kept my 16GB Touch at 1.1.4 since early last year because I have YET to see all of the features (applications AND tweaks) that were initially created by very clever and generous early adopters. My most used favorite is this: I can plug my Touch into my television and leave AFP on and drop various movies, songs etc. right into a download folder and play them with the Finder, “Documents”, or “MyMedia” application , then delete them (hello mini Apple TV and goodbye constant re-syncing). I also LOVE the vnc app both as a gui terminal to my other networked machines, and as a hand-held controller for any mouse/keyboard. I have emulators for SNES and Genesis (Sonic lives forever) , I’ve been working on transferring my copy of TombRaider over to use the PS emulator (even if it turns out to be too slow to use, I gotta have Lara on there). I have a native VoIP phone application and the famous microphone addition to make telephony calls (not to mention Fring is also installed). I use instant messaging, free sms over wifi, have P2P file sharing, FTP , AFP, SMB, SSH , a web service and every other useful networking tool you can think of (not to mention terminal access). I have categories for the apps and system icons for mail etc that appear when locked. I have the oh-so-classy chrome theme installed. I have a 5 icon dock. I have the excellent neo-tech font in place of the system font. “Capture” works well with the exposed camera roll addition. I can download files from Safari or the Youtube application, save them, share them , or transfer them to other places. I have Art, music and games apps of all kinds. I could go on and on and STILL forget all the stuff I have on this sucker. It really is complete. I am surprised (but not really) that the latest hacks have not yet come close to accomplishing all these features. Some of them will never show up, for example, one that I paid for called “Search” actually had features REMOVED in the legitimate version just recently released. This device is now essentially a tiny Free BSD computer with a GREAT A/V system installed that works with iTunes. Really the only thing missing is FLASH (the VERY clever Java tools that allow some video content to be viewed work on occasion and I am grateful, but really Apple needs to address this serious deficiency). I have looked at upgrading, but it appears that even now, the original installer apps are not transferable to v 2.2 except some supported by Cyda – certainly the major tweaks (like a unified iPod app icon instead of two icons for video and music, or the camera roll) are not going to be saved. Can anyone tell me why I need to upgrade (what’s ESSENTIAL in the newer firmware) other than to try out all the new apps (I’ll probably just buy another Touch or iPhone is how I’ve got it figured)?
