For those of you who are new to iPhone or just JB in general, all the apps available may seem overwhelming at first, here is a list of what Cydia Apps I currently use.

BiteSMS: the message app on steroids.

Allows you to receive pop ups of incoming texts/ismsgs

with a pic of the contact (if it is in your address book)

along with many other aesthetic customization options.

BytaFont: Lets you preview custom fonts

as well as set them for specfic functions like

LockScreen Clock and Notes.

ColorKeyboard: Does what it says,

gives you the option for custom colors on your iKeyboard.

Copic: Shows your contacts pictures

in the Phone, Sms (msg list & convo), Contact list, & facetime apps.

Gridlock: Gives you the option to place your icons

where you want them to go instead of the standard grid system.

HapticPro: This one I am thankful for especially.

It vibrates when your type, which is helpful for

newcomers to touchscreen devices.

Icon Renamer: Allows you to rename

the icon labels on most icons.

iFile: for when you cant get to a

laptop/computer and want to ssh/ftp into your iPhone files.

Infinite Tweet: adds tweetlonger capabilities to popular

twitter clients like Native Twitter, Tweetbot, Echofon, etc.

Multiflow: A backgrounder app that when you

shake the phone while on the homescreen it

pulls up a list of apps currently running in the

background, and allows you to close them.

No Icon Shadows: Especially helpful

for those who use custom icons, as it removes

that pesky icon shadow.

NoNewsIsGoodNews: Use Newstand? Yeah, me neither.

This app hides the Newstand icon.

NotiCall: Brings back the call Favorites from drop down

that LockInfo has but for native NotificationCenter.

PkgBackup: Backs up your cydia packages

to a zip file and stores it in your dropbox

in the case that you have to restore at some point.

SBCenter for Notification: Adds Respring, Reboot, Shut Down

options in NC.

SimpleDate for Notification: As it says,

adds a month, date, year line to your NC.

Springtomize 2 - iOS 5+: Very useful compilation

of apps such as.. an icon shrinker, fake carrier name, infinidock,

and much more!

Unified Ipod for iOS5: Unifies the music & videos

icons into one, as they were on later iOS versions.

WeatherIcon: Adds a weather icon to the statusbar.

Transparent Weather BG: Removes that silly purple/blue

background behind the weather icon.

Winterboard: It’s huge, but a nessecary app to be able to theme your iDevice.
