Best Cydia Apps for iPad

Though Apple is not the first company that invented the concept of tablet PCs, it surely is the company that made them a household item. Since its launch, more than 30 millions Apple iPad models have been sold around the world. This amazing product comes with a huge range of applications which makes it even more high-tech. These applications can be downloaded from iTunes but not all apps are free and the collection is not that impressive. This is where the concept of Jailbreaking takes the center stage. Jailbreaking is a simple procedure in which the user modifies the operating system of an Apple device. The process removes all the restrictions imposed by Apple and allows the user to install apps through other means, especially from Cydia.

Best Cydia iPad Apps

Jailbreaking the iPad has a lot of advantages, the best one being the freedom to install apps from Cydia. Contrary to the popular rumors, it is legal and done by almost everyone. For Jailbroken iPad users who are still confused about the best apps from Cydia, here is some information which can be used.

Afc2add
This brilliant Cydia app makes USB browsing more expandable. Many Apple loyalists may be familiar with this app as it was also available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Not at all difficult to understand or learn, any help needed is available in the form of tutorials available online which would help the user understand the app better. Afc2add works perfect and allows the user to browse through all the available files in the iPad.

FullForce
A great app for any iPad user, FullForce works best for apps which are not modified for the display format of the iPad. There are a list of apps which are compatible with it and FullForce manipulates them into thinking that they were designed for a larger display. FullForce is not compatible with every app, there is a list of apps that it works fine with.

AppLinks
Again I'll use the word "brilliant" for AppLinks and would recommend all iPad users to get it. This app automatically creates shortcuts for all the stored applications, so that the user can access them with ease. Many of us have used SSH before and for people who face difficulties while searching for various files, AppLinks can be the solution. Just open it and press the button on the bottom left side and it will start creating shortcuts.

Backgrounder
Backgrounder allows the user to run other apps in the background and to use this awesome feature, all the user has to is to press the home button for 2 seconds. A screen arrives in the center which means that the application is running. To quit, press the home button for a few seconds until the app closes which leads the user back to the main screen.

FakeCarrier
FakeCarrier is a free Cydia app which allows the user to change the carrier name in the status bar. This app not only helps to change the carrier name to anything the user wants, it also allows him/her to add a message instead of the time at the status bar. It is not that fancy, but is useful sometimes when the user wants to add an important message on the status bar.

Multiflow
A very important app for some, Multiflow gives the user what the Backgrounder can't. When Backgrounder is running, the user has to scroll pages to switch between opened app, which can be quite frustrating. With Multiflow, the user can see snapshots of applications that are currently running in the background. It allows the user to scroll left and right between apps that are currently running.

Privacy
A must have Cydia app for iPad users, Privacy allows the user to decide whether they want to allow data collectors to collect information from the iPad. Users can operate it from the Settings panel by turning it "On" and "Off." For people who are extremely private and wouldn't like anyone keeping a track of their iPad activities, this Cydia app is for them.

CyDelete
For people who have clouded up the iPad memory with useless apps, removing them can be quite a hassle. Rather than taking the long road through Cydia, users can opt for CyDelete which removes useless apps with just a click.

Apart from the above given apps, there are quite a number of Cydia Applications which can give the iPad a whole new identity. Here are some great options...

• TVOut2
• Proswitcher
• BossPaper
• BlueNova
• iFile
• MakeitMine
• bigU Movies iPad
• Barrel
• AdBlocker
• YoutubeToMP3
• MultiIconMover
• WeatherIcon
• FaceTime Surveillance
• Display Recorder
• MyWi On Demand

So these are some magical apps provided by Cydia for Jailbroken iPads. Though these apps make the iPad a very user-friendly device, they do face some problems with every iOS update and their compatibility comes under the radar.
