With the most widely used Cydia tweaks and apps not currently working with iOS 7, the essence of jailbreaking may seem defeated. However, some apps work just fine while some function with a few bugs here and there. While waiting for developers to update Cydia apps and tweaks for iOS 7, here are some useful ones that presently work on iOS 7.
1. AppSync for iOS 7+: This tweak lets you install downloaded IPA packages on your device. It can be found in this repo: http://cydia.appaddict.org
2. HiddenSettings7: This lets you access iOS 7 hidden settings. This is available in the Control Center after installation.
3. CarrierPigeon: This tweak lets you customize your operator’s name.
4. Zeppelin: Replaces your operator name with an image.
5. Iconoclasm: Customizes your springboard icon arrangement
6. Bootstrap: This tweak provides a Safe Bootstrap for mobile substrate and preference loader on boot up. It also puts a respring icon on your springboard.
7. Firewall iP: Blocks outgoing TCP and UDP connections selectively
8. Five-Column Springboard: Lets you have 5 column on your springboard instead of the regular 4. It’s only advisable to use if you have a theme that has nano sized icons.
9. Harlem Shake: This does nothing but just makes your Springboard go crazy doing the popular Harlem Shake.
10. Browser Changer: A useful tweak that lets you specify your default browser if you’re not really satisfied with Safari.
11. Nitrous: Improves javascript performance in certasin apps better. By default, Nitro is only available to Apple apps like iBooks and Safari but this grants apps like Facebook and Google Chrome the same privilege, making them faster.
