One of the biggest complaints against S60 5th Edition is the lack of software. Sure most of the S60 3rd Ed software will run, some quite well.

It’s frustrating to spend so much quality time installing awesome apps from Cydia, only to lose them after a firmware update.  Should you forget to backup your apps, think about installing a few from this list:

  • All Sources – This installs a crapload of sources, which will make installing the following a lot easier.1
  • SBSettings – With the swipe of your finger across the status bar you can toggle settings like autocorrect, WIFI, 3G, rotation lock, bluetooth, etc.
  • Backgrounder – Leave your favorite apps running in the background for quicker access.  It’s probably not a good idea to enable everything, so stick with a few.
  • Categories – Don’t keep Wobble Hot Babes (aka Wobble) in the open.  Put your pervie apps in folders.
  • Clippy – Cut, copy, paste.  This feature will be available in the upcoming iPhone 3.0 firmware.
  • CyDelete – CyDelete enables jailbroken apps to be removed from the Springboard like regular apps.
  • Cyntact – This one costs $0.99 but it’s definitely worth it.  View contact pictures in your address book without actually selecting the contact.
  • Emoji – Japanese-style emoticons.  I’m not 100% sure but your recipients can only view these emoji if their phones are set up for it.
  • Five Icon Dock – Cram an extra app on your dock.  You might also want to check out Stacks.
  • GRiS – The best Google Reader app out there.  See here about automatic/background syncing.
  • NocamSound – Turn off the shutter sound on your camera.
  • StatusNotifier – This places notification icons on your status bar of any missed calls, text, email, etc.
  • Supreme Preferences – This adds additional options in your Settings app.
  • vWallpaper – Animate your wallpaper with a lazer show or Matrix theme.
  • WinterBoard – Download  custom themes on your phone and apply them using WinterBoard.
  • yellowsn0w – Free your phone!  yellowsn0w is a software unlock for your phone.  Do not install iPhone OS 3.0 if you want to keep your phone unlocked.

The apps listed above are merely recommendations and do not constitute a definitive list of any kind.  Enjoy!

1Update:  “All Sources”  requires the Steffwiz repository.
