evasi0n it's available since last night, it does untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1, tutorial you can already find it on iDevice.ro and although Cydia it is almost dead at the moment, I will still recommend it a lot tweak-s that you can install in your own terminals. To be honest, I was looking forward to this new one jailbreak, I missed many tweaks from Cydia and now I have the opportunity to use them again, and I recommend you to customize your iDevice to your liking, because the jailbreak was mainly made for this. Even if some tweaks are not currently compatible with iOS 6, they will be updated in the next period, so be patient. Don't forget to like/share/tweet this article, there are many people waiting for recommendations for installing interesting tweaks.

IntelliScreenX it was the first tweak I installed from Cydia after the release of the jailbreak solution for iOS 5.0.1 last year and it is a platform that offers you the possibility to access in LockScreen information from email, Facebook/Twitter accounts, Google Reader and many more others. The tweak has been updated and is compatible with iOS 6, it can be bought for $10 from Cydia, but if you bought it last year, you have to pay another $5 for the update.

zephyr is one of my favorite tweaks because it allows us to use gestures to close/switch open apps in the background. The tweak can be purchased from Cydia at the price of $3 and is definitely worth the money.
SBSettings is a free tweak through which you can fully manage your iDevice. The tweak allows you to enable/disable iOS settings, see IP information, available memory, available space, plus much more. Version 6.x is compatible with iOS 6 and brings many interesting novelties.
PowerCenter Pro is a tweak similar to SBSettings but it displays information and settings for our iDevices ONLY in the Notifications Center. The tweak is easier to use, doesn't require that much RAM and is a worthy alternative to consider if you use SBSBetting. Unfortunately, PowerCenter Pro is available for $2.5 in Cydia.
iFile is the best utility for managing the files stored in our iDevices. Using iFile we can modify, rename, delete, copy, move or generate new files/folders in our iDevices but that's not all because using this tweak we can even edit files or even listen to music. iFile is available with a trial version in Cydia.

Springtomize 2 is one of the most complete tweaks that exists in Cydia at the moment. Using Springtomize 2, you can modify almost any iDevice settings directly from the iOS Settings application, and I recommend it to all those who want to customize their own device without much effort. Springtomize 2 is available for $2.99 in Cydia.
Winterboard is the best application for personalizing the look of your iDevice. It is designed by saurik, the developer of the Cydia application, and with its help you can install any kind of themes for your iDevices. The bad part of Winterboard is that it complicates the operating system, but the good part is that the application can be downloaded for free along with a multitude of themes.

dreamboard it is a platform similar to Winterboard, but there are not as many themes for it. The good part is that the themes available for it are much more interesting than those compatible with Winterboard and Dreamboard is free even if the themes have to be paid for.

Auxo is a tweak which we talked about a few weeks ago, when I told you that it completely changes the way we will be able to use the task switcher on jailbroken terminals. Since then and until now the tweak has been finished, it was published in Cydia, but it is still not compatible with iOS 6, so most iDevice owners will not be able to use it on their own terminals. The tweak is available for $2 in Cydia's BigBoss repo.

Quasar is a tweak released a few months ago in Cydia, and through it we can simultaneously run several applications on the same screen of the iPad tablet. The tweak reproduces the functionality that we normally have in operating systems such as Windows or OS X, and you can find it in Cydia at the price of $10.
The JailbreakCon a few months ago brought some interesting tweaks, one of them being called emblem, a tweak what brings on the iPad the notification system from OS X Mountain Lion. You know that on the iPad the notifications are displayed in the middle of the screen in a small banner and you know that in OS X Mountain Lion they appear in a slightly larger border that is displayed on the right side of the screen. Well, Emblem implements in iOS this notification system available in OS X and all your notifications will be displayed on the right side of the screen, in a larger border.
Carnitines is a tweak presented by me a few weeks ago, when I told you that through it you can set your iDevices to automatically activate Wi-Fi connectivity when you open certain applications. The tweak was well received by users, so it was recently updated, now allowing the selection of applications for which Wi-Fi connectivity is automatically activated, but this option is made especially for owners of terminals with iOS 6 installed, the rest of the users remain for now without this option.
SMS blocker is an application published a few weeks ago in Cydia, and with its help we can block any kind of unwanted messages. The application has an intuitive interface that allows us to set the contacts or phone numbers for which we want to block all messages, and from here on you all know what the effect will be. The application allows us to delete messages automatically when blocked, or to keep a history of them, and for those interested there is an option that blocks any kind of messages, regardless of who they come from.
MapsOpener is a tweak launched just a few weeks ago in Cydia, and with its help you can use the new application Google Maps to open links with locations. Normally the application iOS 6 Maps is used to make routes and display locations based on coordinates, but this tweak modifies this functionality in iOS. The tweak is compatible with both iOS 5 and iOS 6, and all you have to do is install it to activate its functionality.

stride is a tweak released many months ago in Cydia, and it allows iDevice owners to unlock their terminals in a completely new way. The tweak is developed to allow iPhone/iPod Touch owners to replace the already classic slider for unlocking with personalized gestures. Basically, the user establishes any kind of gesture he wants to unlock his iDevice and as soon as he reproduces it in the box displayed by the tweak in LockScreen, the device will be immediately unlocked. The interesting part is that the tweak does not limit the shape of the gestures so we can make any kind of shapes in the lockscreen to ensure that the device cannot be unlocked by someone else.

Camera Tweak is a tweak presented by me a few months ago when I was telling you that through it you can improve the native iOS Camera application by implementing several extremely useful functions.

Callbar is a fairly old tweak released in Cydia a few weeks ago for iPhone terminals. Using it, we eliminate the interface that appears when we have an incoming call on our phones, the screen being replaced with a banner-type notification displayed at the top of the screen. In the clip above we have a presentation of version 1.0 of the tweak, a version that was released a few weeks ago in Cydia's BigBoss repo. The tweak allows us to reject/accept a call through that banner, turn on/off the loudspeaker and mute a call, all without closing any application we have open at the time of receiving the call.
