Backgrounder : By far the most significant jailbreak app for the iPad , Backgrounder addresses the iPad ’s biggest software defect , at least until OS 4 comes out of beta : its want of multitasking . Once Backgrounder is installed , all that ’s needed to force an app like Pandora into the scope is a press’n’hold of the home button . you’re able to add other triggers too , via Activator . ( My personal favorite is “ Status Bar Hold . ” )
Activator : A gesture theoretical account that ’s automatically set up with Backgrounder , though there ’s a downloadable front - end for the app that ’s worth nabbing . Anyway , this lets you arrogate a vast variety of triggers and motion to system function . For example , when I shake my iPad , it takes a screenshot . Ha !
Veency : A VNC server for your iPad . This lets you open up and control your iPad from any computer on the same web ( or conceivably from outside the web , if you ’ve send on the veracious porthole to your iPad ) . The zero - setup app comes with a shiner framework , so you ’ll see a pointer on the iPad as it ’s being remotely manipulate . extremely coolheaded as a technical school demo , and surprisingly utilitarian — it ’s a overnice way to add your iPad to your master computer apparatus .
You ’ll need a screen background VNC guest likeRealVNCorChickenoftheVNCto use it .
SBSettings : This app adds two important characteristic to the iPad : advanced setting , and an always - uncommitted control panel for the more significant single . Many gestures are available ( via Activator ) ; I ’ve got mine set up so that when I swipe my homescreen , the control gore slue down .
The panel can be populate with just about any scene you could opine , but Wi - Fi , Bluetooth and Brightness toggles are must - includes .
FullForce : A cunning piffling extension that instal to the iPad ’s setting screen . From there , you’re able to point iPhone apps — the ones that have n’t been the right way conform for the iPad yet — to stretch out to the iPad ’s resolution . I ’m not talking about picture element doubling , either : apps engage native UI constituent , and scale dynamically .
The success rate is n’t salient , and it seldom forge with plot . That tell , apps like Facebook and NYTimes ( which has much more content than the iPad NYT app ) descale dead , and occupy a need . FullForce works on most jailbreak apps , too , including a few in this guide .
WinterBoard : Themes ! Well , sort of . Most of the Winterboard - compatible themes available in Cydia are n’t designed for the iPad , so they look terrible . But hey , you may fiddle around with the pier , with some fonts , with some coloration , and so on . More iPad motif will come in due meter .
MyWi : Tethering for the 3 G iPad , weeeeee ! It ’s a paid app , but you could trial prove it for free . It make a local Wi - Fi electronic web which you may connect to with anything , from a laptop to a Wi - Fi - only iPad .
MultiIconMover : Moving icons one by one is a hurting in the As . MultiIconMover impart a clever little behavior to the group O , such that when icons are in wobbly ( moving ) musical mode , they can be droop for bowel movement with a single rap . Once the apps are selected , the drug user merely switches over the the blind he want the apps to move to , taps the home push button , and the deed is done .
Cydelete : If you ’ve understand this far , you ’ve likely bring forth a stack of new icons on your homescreen , courtesy of Cydia . One trouble : You ca n’t delete them like normal apps . ( Instead of the uncomplicated X - delete convention , Cydia apps calculate on management from within Cydia . Lame ! ) This brings back the piddling “ X ” , so you could atomise the Cydia apps you do n’t want to keep , conveniently .
OpenSSH : take into account connections to the iPad over Wi - Fi , and gives you full access to the gadget ’s data file system from your computer . Once it ’s install , it ’s just there — no app to bunk , no configurations to mess up with .
This is the easiest manner to move files to the iPad for break apps , like VLC and plot copycat , to admittance . Instructionshere .
vlc4iPhone : This one ’s gravelly around the bound , to be indisputable . It work with FullForce , sort of , and it crashes clean frequently . But just consider the potential here . VLC plays just about any video data file , whether or not it ’s supported by iPhone oculus sinister . flick could be dragged over to the iPad via SSH and played without the need for transition . This is the sight that vlc4iPhone more or less fulfills , and which it will soon fulfill on the iPad .
Installous : I was n’t sure about including this one , but it ’s a popular component of the jailbreak experience , a driving force behind its popularity , and , what the Scheol , you ’d find out about it anyway . ( Name that logical false belief ! )
It ’s necessary to add special a deposit to Cydia so as to get this one , but once you ’ve done that , the remainder is cake . If you must employ it , please treat it as a try on - before - you - steal puppet . Devs got ta exhaust .

Wi - Fi Sync : $ 10 for a jailbreak app ? Before you express joy , learn this : Wi - Fi sync synchronise your iPad with iTunes over Wi - Fi .
rock’n’roll : An alternative to Cydia , Rock offer a unlike interface , and more importantly , a useful framework for app trials . ( More and more break apps are going ante up , so this matters . ) I prefer the port to Cydia ’s , but find out it less static . UPDATE : Cydia has merged with Rock , and is in the cognitive operation of compound stores . Cydia id won out in the end , so Rock users will have to switch to those .
Categories : This one ’s dim-witted enough : folder for your apps , like the ones in OS 4 , except uglier and usable right now .
iFile : A file handler for the iPad . This becomes more authoritative when you ’re SSHing files back and onward for aper and the corresponding , as it gives you a browsable file tree .
