Personally, the only reason I jailbreak is for SBSettings. I'm not sure if I could use my iPhone without this wicked JB app. I used to enjoy playing around with different Themes, but stopped after finding that it slowed my phone to a crawl.

If anyone out there has a jailbroken iDevice, you HAVE to check out SBSettings. I love how I can just adjust my brightness setting (which I do a lot of) with a flick of a finger. Check out ChiffaN's great review here:

Do you have the 3G? My 3Gs does fine with themeing. No lag at all.

Well I have an iPod Touch 2G older version and it works fine for me too. If you want more RAM use SBSettings Processes so that you can kill apps and there is even a free space button that helps too

Definitely SBSettings, Winterboard, and Categories. I could live without the first two but Categories is awesome, I put so much use into it and I wish Apple would just adopt the idea of it instead of the lame "pages" format.

I've just discovered the MapsEnhancer app! What it does is forces the device not to flush the map cache! Maps.app is finally usable!

You do know that you can upload a complete cached map off the web and make it read-only so it works without the internet? I did this for the Moscow map.

tried... doesn't work. Where should I get a 'chached map' BTW?
>> tried meaning setting the permisions to read-only - ended up with no map at all.

I've done it with zero problems. I'll try to write a guide next week.

Um, this got me so excited when I read it, is there a guide anywhere that shows off how to do this? Would be SO sweet.

Edit to Add: Oops didn't notice your reply sorry I'll wait for your guide, anxiously wait for it that is. :D

I used to love doing themes with winterboard, but read on many sites that it is the cause of frequent iphone crashes and slow downs. Since then, i stick to the default OS theme.

The three I use mostly now are :

- proswitcher
- sbsettings
- 5 icon dock

I don't think SBSettings qualifies as a favorite as it should be a necessity.

My favorite as of now is Circuitous. Way faster and better than ProSwitcher.
