The apps listed in the  sections below are not possible to be in AppStore since they break one or more  of Apple\u2019s rules. These Application breaks rules of Apple like these  applications requires to patch system files, allowing apps to run in the  background, running apps out of the \u201csandbox\u201d, and simply doing things Apple  decided that they don\u2019t want you to do often for reasons to their benefit, not  yours such as tethering and WiFi limitations for Skype, Sling Player and more.  Before getting started let me clear one thing Everything that works before  jailbreaking continues to work after. Jailbreaking only adds features.  Jailbreaking is risk free and cannot void your warranty. You can simply restore  in iTunes at anytime to get back to a factory state.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reason 1 Winterboard + Customization :<\/strong> Winterboard is the  modified version of Springboard and it allows you to theme your iPhone like  below. You can download and install hundreds of free themes available in Cydia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-140\" title=\"img_00091\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_00091-200x300.png?resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"img_00091\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0 <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-142\" title=\"img_00081\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_00081-200x300.png?resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"img_00081\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-143\" title=\"img_00101\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_00101-200x300.png?resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"img_00101\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-144\" title=\"img_00061\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_00061-200x300.png?resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"img_00061\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reason 2 sbSettings : <\/strong>sbSettings is one of my favorite  application it allows quick access to system toggles.\u00a0 For example you swipe  your finger across the clock on the top of the screen and a pull down appears  allowing you to turn on\/off wifi, 3g, edge, ssh, airplane mode, or even hide and  show icons on the SpringBoard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-145\" title=\"img_00131\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/apple\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/img_00131-200x300.png?resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"img_00131\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reason 3 Tethering :<\/strong> This is the strongest reason you can\u2019t  ignore tethering PDANet is a simple GUI based appllication which allows you to  use your iPhone as a modem you can run internet through your Edge or 3G  connection over the WiFi and USB.
