This week a bunch of new Cydia tweaks were released in Cydia that allow users to customize different aspects of their device.
New tweaks released recently include PowerDownOptions, Stencil theme, CallKiller, BarinProgress and HideStatusBarItems. Read on to learn what these tweaks do and how you can download them on your jailbroken devices.
PowerDownOptions

Simply bring up the power down screen by long pressing the side + Volume Up buttons, then tap on the slider knob in order to change its function.
