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/

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/

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.

This program allows you to get onto any eircom wifi router with the default WEP password set. It duplicates the functionality of s4dd.yore.ma/eircom/ which is of little use if you don’t have a net connection. As the 3GS has really bad reception in rural ireland this is really of use for emergency emails and skype phone calls or cases in a pub or restaurant where you are a paying customer and they won’t give you net access. The program was compiled to run OS 2.2.1 and greater and is know able to run on 3.0 and 3.1

It has recently come to the attention of angry Cydia users that they are being watched by many of the applications they have installed from the App Store.
Sites like I-phone-home have been discussing this in detail, leading to a post on the Dev-Team Blog about one provider in particular: Pinch Media.
Pinch Media, however, is not the only tracking provider: on the iPhone alone there are three other companies:
Flurry, Medialets, and Mobclix.
Developers integrate these systems for much the same reason people use Google Analytics: to better understand how their customers use their products.
Unfortunately, due to the restrictions Apple places on their App Store, these providers are unable to directly interface with the users they affect.
Instead, they rely on developers of every single application to document what information is being logged, and allow users to “opt-out” if they desire.
Thanks to applicatons like redsn0w and Cydia, however, these restrictions are no longer important: a system-wide global “opt-out” setting is now possible.
Pinch Media realized this fact, and took the lead in contacting me regarding getting this feature out there to all the users of jailbroken devices: they care.
With BigBoss, we then contacted all of the other providers, getting not only their blessing, but also their technical expertise in disabling their systems.
The result is PrivaCy: a new Settings panel that allows you to selectively opt-out of sending anonymous usage statistics to each of these providers.
This extension was a team effort, and was able to be executed as quickly as it was thanks to the help and interest of the companies involved.

Now EVERY feature is FREE! This is what everyone has been asking for and now you have it. The Caller ID Faking, Voice Changing, and Call Recording are ALL FREE!! These items will only work with the new upgrade to version 2.4. You can make as many calls as you like but each call is still limited to 2 minutes, and you must listen to a 10 second advertisement before your call is connected. If you wish to make calls longer than 2 minutes or without the ads you can upgrade to a Premium Account.
Get it on the BigBoss repo

It sure is annoying when a company updates their app and does not list a changelog.
Why is this even an app?
