Post-Jailbreak tasks, so you have Cydia in your iDevices, what's next:

1. Run Cydia, make sure you have internet connection, wait until Cydia refreshed
2. Cydia will ask you? User/Hacker/Developer. I choose "Developer"
3. Goto Sources, the add several cydia repositories: (cydia.hackulo.us, h7v.org, repo.insanelyi.com). Ignore warning messages.
4. Install Cydia Tweaks/Apps that you need
5. Change default root password to secure your experience (you'll need Mobile Terminal to do this)
   

Tweaks that my friends usually used:
- AppSync for iOS 5.0+ (repo: Hackulo.us)
- AppLinks (repo: BigBoss)
- iAP Cracker (repo: insanelyi)
- iFile (repo: BigBoss, Commercial Package usd 4)

- Icon Rename (repo: BigBoss)
- iWhiteBoard (repo: BigBoss)
- MobileTerminal (NEW) (repo: insanelyi)

Changing Root Password:
- Open MobileTerminal from springboard
- type su and press Enter
- enter default password: alpine
- to change password, type passwd and press enter
- type your new password, you will be asked to reenter password
