Default Necessary Cydia Apps

Ok, so I was thinking, what apps are really helpful from Cydia? List the ones that you think is a must have for your device.

- QuickGold: Search function for your device.
- Winterboard: Set themes to your springboard.
- Cycorder: Video recording for the iPhone.
- MxTube: Download Youtube videos to your phone.
- MakeItMine: Change the name of your carrier or heading (time).
- Categories: Create folders to put your apps, games, etc. in.
- SBSettings: Quick way to access settings options.
- CyDelete: Delete your Cydia apps just like you would delete any other normal app.
- Font Swap: Change the system font.
- AptBackup: Backup the progress of your games, then restore.
- ThreeG: Watch Slingplayer on 3G and also use Skype and Fring on 3G.

I wish AT&T would implement that idea of having capped data as an option, at a reduced cost. Some people, like me, don't want to do web browsing, or tons of downloading, just want to check their email, which is very low bandwidth, and IM. I don't see why they don't do it. 100MB would be plenty for me in a month. If it didn't work out, go to 250MB, then 500MB, then 1GB, then 5GB, then unlimited. In a pricing fassion like this in that order: $10/month, $15/month, $20/month, $25/month, $30/month, $40/month. Very simple. The users who would be using it should be able to tell how much they need. I need very little, as I can do any NECESSARY web browsing on a WiFi hotspot. That is way off topic though, so:

FontSwap
Icy
Installer
CyDelete
Emulators

Where can I get Installer and Icy? I deleted Installer a while ago because it would make my device crash, and I would have to restore it.

What is Icy? I've heard stuff hear and there but not exactly sure what it is.

apt.ripdev.com. Icy is a supposedly improved Cydia. I never liked it much. It's just another package manager.

Yeah I tried it out and Icy wasn't that great. I'll just stick with Cydia until they actually release a somewhat better version. Installer was just a joke and I deleted that one again

Cydia could look better, and cache a lot of things, and nobody would complain. Instead, Reloading Data. But I unjailbroke, for now, so it's all good.
