The recent iOS 10.2 Jailbreak, developers are hard at work updating their Cydia tweaks/apps to generate them well-matched with iOS 10.2. Installing every tweak to verify its compatibility with iOS 10.2 isn’t anyone’s idea of fun. Thereby, I lifted through various Cydia repositories to bring you the 10 best Cydia tweaks that are compatible with the iOS 10.2 Jailbreak.
Note: I tested all the tweaks stated below on my iPhone 6 running JailbrokeniOS 10.2. Some of the tweaks may cause minor clashes with one another as the Jailbreak isn’t fully stable yet, but there shouldn’t be any major problems, though. In the rare case, you get stuck somewhere or need help installing these tweaks, refer to our guide to Cydia.
1.FlipControlCenter
FlipControlCenter
The default Control Centre in iOS is quite restrictive, and it’s actually surprising that Apple doesn’t permits you to add/remove custom toggles. Flip Control Centre brings this much-sought feature to Jail broken iOS devices with the ability to add/remove/rearrange new toggles including Cellular data, Low power and Personal Hotspot.
You can also add/remove/rearrange apps in the bottom pane of the Control centre. It also adds some neat options for customizing the number of toggles on a page on the basis of device orientation.

iCleaner
Certain apps constantly cache data from the Internet and it can be a real pain if you’re stuck with an iPhone with low storage. To make this matter worse, Apple doesn’t provide an option to clear data cache in iOS.

PowerDown
By default, the iOS shutdown menu only shows the option of “Slide to Power Off“. You can restart your iPhone by pressing Home and Power button at the same time, but it isn’t the most convenient solution.
PowerDown provides 3 new sliders underneath the normal “Slide to strength Off” — Reboot, Respring, safe mode. The Respring alternative restarts the Springboard (iOS domestic display) and is typically useful even as installing/eliminating new tweaks from Cydia. The safe mode choice can be beneficial to troubleshoot issues you could have with a positive Jailbreak tweak.

4.Touchr
Touchr
Touchr utilizes the TouchID sensor to perform positive actions like going back to the home screen, activating Siri or carrying up the multitasking menu. I’m always a bit suspicious about breaking my physical Home button as I press it many times a day. Thankfully, Touchr eliminates the need of having to physically press the Home button to perform these actions.
Touchr can be configured to come across single, double and triple press at the TouchID. It is able to detect and respond to the touch whilst your iPhone’s display if off, although it is able to consume additional battery. Optionally, you can permit vibrations on contact and disable it for unique apps.
