Sometime ago I came across a posting about Cydia browsing without your phone.

I saved the web links and always went there because it makes it easier for me on a computer instead of on my phone then install on my phone after I find what I want.

Recently reformatted my laptop and loosing the links, I searched for the links again. I am putting them here so I wont loose them again.

Enjoy.

Cydia Modmyi

Overflow

This brand new Tweek just came out today a few hours ago.
I have been waiting for this since I have read about this Tweek long ago.

Give your dock a little style!

Overflow lets you add a dynamic 'coverflow'-espue style to your dock, all while keeping things both elegant and fun to use.

Overflow also takes full advantage of chpwn's Infinidock, and animates when you scroll your dock, so be sure to purchase Infinidock in the Cydia Store to add that awesome you've always wanted!
Works with or without Infinidock, although for a dynamic Coverflow effect to work as well as scrolling on the dock, Infinidock is required.

Works best with 5 or 7 icons!

Enable / Disable from Settings app.

This is iOS 4.2 - 5.x Compatible

Update, I did buy and download this app. On my iPhone it does not work at this time and resprings into safe mode.

I contacted Adam Bell and explained what happened, His reply says it is not compatible with Springtomize and ScrollingBoard.

I am not sure when he will update it to be compatible, Perhaps later.

iDemo

I love the program iDemo. attimes the font is too small and i like to use iDemo to make it larger to see what i am doing, of course the phone must be jailbroken.

Must add ScreenSplitr from Cydia.

Then must download iDemo from plutinosoft.com/idemo.

After the install run, it runs in Demo mode until it is purchased.

I bought mine back in 2010 and love it.

It is iOS5 compatible and does work on wifi so no cable needed unless you want to.

Tell me how you like it.
