Hello, hello, hello jailbreak friends! It’s Friday and time for my weekly iOS 8.3, 8.4 Cydia Jailbreak tweak roundup, featuring all the best new jailbreak apps to find their way on the Cydia store. This week 40 new and updated tweaks this week feature a lot of customizing quirks to mod your device to your heart's desire. While some exciting new tweaks such as CirDock surfaced this week, we also saw a number of old favorites like Bridge and Anchor updated for use with iOS 8.3 and 8.4 jailbreaks. While I’ve looked for tweaks specifically designed for iOS 8.4, if you have an iOS 8.3 jailbreak installed, they should work on that firmware too. At the top of this post, I’ve place the tweaks that I consider to be the best or my favorite NEW jailbreak tweaks of the week along with price information and the link to download the tweak. That list is followed by all other NEW tweaks released in the week. Then at the bottom I’ve posted a number of notable jailbreak tweak favorites that have been updated this week for compatibility with iOS 8.4. Please make sure to peruse them all as you never know what goodies might be lurking there!

My Favorites
CirDock by Brave Heart
This tweak provides an all-new perspective on how the dock can look like and increases its functionality. The boring iOS dock is replaced with a rotatable carousel dock which is customisable in different ways allowing for multiple configurations and multiple 'looks and feels' for different users. It also is a great permanent replacement for the app switcher. ($1.00, BigBoss Repo, Cydia)

Watchdog Lite is a trial version of Watchdog. It allows applications run in the background. This tweak can be used for:
