iPhone Tweaks

Messages Customiser (it's officially spelled with an s rather than a z) is a must have jailbreak tweak for those of you who like full control of your device's aesthetics. This tweak lets you change virtually every aspect of the message screen's appearance. You can download it for free from Cydia's modmyi repository.

Once you have it installed, go to Settings -> Messages Customiser. Now you can fiddle with the various settings:

A few days ago we had a writeup on CCControls, a jailbreak tweak that allows you to add and remove toggles from your iOS 7 Control Center. However, if you are a minimalist and want only the bare essentials in your iPhone's Control Center, then CCHide is the tweak you're looking for.

The iOS keyboard tweak SwipeSelection is a must have for all jailbreakers and it just got better! SwipeSelection was originally released to Cydia in 2012 and it quickly became a favorite tool of the jailbreaking community. The tweak makes editing text on your iOS device easier by allowing you to use gestures on your keyboard.

SwipeSelection Pro has been rewritten for iOS 7 and adds new features like the ability to adjust the swipe sensitivity, cursor speed and the ability to toggle select features. Another big feature is the ability to disable the tweak by tapping the shift key three times.

Although Evasi0n opened up iOS 7 for jailbreakers, many of the tweaks are not yet compatible with devices using Apple's new 64-bit A7 chip, including the iPhone 5s, the iPad Air and the iPad Mini with Retina Display. One of the most popular jailbreak tweaks, WinterBoard, is now compatible according to creator Jay Freeman (aka Saurik, of Cydia fame).

WinterBoard is basically an expansion of SpringBoard that allows the user to apply themes to the iOS interface, which makes it the ultimate tool for customization. With WinterBoard you can change the appearance of your icons by loading various

Although there have been several jailbreak tweaks that allow you to modify your iOS 7 lock screen, developer Dylan Kelly has delivered the most comprehensive one to date. CustomLS lets you hide the various items found on the lock screen and change the "slide to unlock" text. You can download this jailbreak tweak for free from Cydia's BigBoss repository.

Once you've installed customLS, head to Settings->customLS. You'll see a bunch of toggles, so start toggling. The toggles let you hide the items on your lock screen. You can hide both the Notification Center and Control Center grabbers (the little horizontal bars at the top and bottom of the LS). You can hide the camera icon and
