SpringSorter monitors how much you run the different applications installed on SpringBoard and allows you to reorganize the icon layout, making the things you use the most on top. This package was designed with many usage scenarios in mind and thus has lots of configuration options:
After installing SpringSorter it will automatically start to monitor your application usage behind the scenes. You can then start sorting and configurating the program via the settings program on your device.

The following is how to enable Voice control on iPhone 3G and iPhone 2G. The Guide is for windows, but you should be able to follow along even on a Mac. If you have any questions simply post them in the comments.
[Original Source: Taimur Asad]
Download WinSCP for Windows
Download CyberDuck for Mac
Download VoiceControl.zip for iPhone 3G and 2G
Voice Control is an exclusive feature of iPhone 3GS which enables its users to make phone calls and play music by using voice commands. Some folks over at this forum have released a Voice Control look-alike app for iPhone 3G and iPhone 2G which works and looks almost exactly as it is on iPhone 3GS.
You will need to have an unlocked and jailbroken iPhone for this to work. Please refer to the guide posted here in order to unlock and jailbreak your iPhone before you follow the steps below:
Step 1: Download WinSCP on Windows or Cyberduck on Mac. (download links given below.)
Step 2: Make sure you have OpenSSH installed on your iPhone:
Step 3: Connect your iPhone with your computer. Make sure iTunes is not running.
Step 4: Start WinSCP on Windows or Cyberduck if you are on a Mac and enter the following details to login to your phone:
Step 5: Once you have logged in, browse to /<root>/Applications directory on your iPhone.
Step 6: Download VoiceControl.zip (download link given below). Extract “Voice Control.app” and copy it to your iPhone in this directory: /<root>/Applications
Step 7: Right-click on “Voice Control.app” which you just copied, click on Properties and change the permission to 755. Make sure you check “Set group, owner and permissions recursively” option as shown below:

That’s it! Restart your iPhone and you should now have a new app named “Voice Control” on your springboard. Start this new application on your iPhone 3G or 2G and simply search through your contacts, music and bookmarks by using voice commands just like iPhone 3GS!

UPDATE: Be careful renaming some cydia apps, such as Winterboard, as it will loose its themed icon if you have one enabled.
Rename II is an application that allows you to easily change the name of Stock, Jailbroke and App Store applications.
Rename II is very simple to use. The application gives you three options; /Applications, Appstore Apps and About. The /Applications option lists apps that are in your /Applications folder. This will include both stock and jailbroke applications. The Appstore apps option is where you will find a list of all the App Store applications that are on your iPhone or iPod touch.
To change the name of an application, just select it from the list. You will then get a pop-up where you can enter what you would like the new title of the app to be. Once you are finished renaming the app you can select Ok and then hit the Home Button, your device will respring and the apps will be renamed on your SpringBoard.
There are a few things I like about this application. I like that it displays the application’s original name on both the list and the pop-up where you can change the title of the app. This makes it much easier to change the app back to it’s original title. I also think it is cool that you can rename applications with emojicons. It would also be sweet to have a Rename All option that would put all icons back to their stock titles. When I was testing the app, I changed quite a few app titles and now I have to try and remember which ones they were! 
Or, maybe some sort of indicator next to the apps that are not their stock titles.
I have found that Rename II does not work perfectly for me. I am not able to rename any of my stock applications (besides Voice Memos). I can however rename all my jailbroke and App Store applications.
You can get Rename II via the SOS iPhone source. http://cy.sosiphone.com/

Alright, so it seems there are a massive amount of workarounds to get blackra1n to run. Over the next few hours I am going to review all the comments left on the previous post regarding this issue, and will being a poll to see who, what and how these fixes are working. Hopefully we can narrow it down to a set of requirements that will work across the board on all phones and ipods. Feel free to start leaving comments here, as this post will be updated once I’ve collected enough information and methods. Feel free to email me your methods of madness at cydiaupdates@gmail.com

QuickReply for SMS is another great add on available on cydia, With this app you can reply to SMS directly from any app, You dont need to close the current app that you are using to reply the SMS anymore.
Once you receive SMS, You will see the Message box with 3 buttons including Close, View and Reply, If you choose View it will close the current app and launch the default Messages app, If you choose Reply then it pops Keyboard and text box just like what your default Messages app shows when you reply, only difference is that will be in transparent form. Once you hit the Send button, It will close.
This app works great, Though you wont see any icon or toggle for this app, Once installed just reboot it.
Requirements:
1. SinfuliPhone Repo : http://www.sinfuliphone.com/repo/

This app works great, Though you wont see any icon or toggle for this app, Once installed just reboot it.

Move multiple SpringBoard icons at a time.
How to use:
1. Place SpringBoard in icon editing mode (i.e. tap and hold any icon until all icons begin to jitter).
2. Tap the icons that you wish to move; a “checkmark” badge will appear, indicating that the icon is selected (tap again to deselect).
3. Switch to the target page.
4. Press the home button; the selected icons will be moved to the currently-visible page.
5. Press the home button again to exit editing mode.
NOTE: The target page must have space available for the selected icons; if space runs out, any remaining icons will not be moved.
NOTE: This can be a little bit of a pain in the ass. So make sure you really need to move multiple icons at once.

SMS Helper is a very cool application that counts the number of characters as you type a text messages. When installed, it adds a counter into the stock Messages application. The character count is displayed on the Send button in the lower right corner as you type the message… it is a very clean implementation of the mod.
This mod is cool for a couple of reasons. The first is that most devices (carriers) allow a text message of 160 characters before the message is split into two texts. Another reason this is a helpful mod is that if you twitter from your text messages, you normally have to guess when you have hit the 140 character limit well… not anymore!
The counter displays the number of characters out of 160 (example 45/160) however, since the iPhone can go over 160 characters it will just continue to count the characters (example 185/160).
Overall, a very cool mod that I will most definitely be keeping. You can get SMS Helper via the BigBoss sources.
