PagePreview: Jailbreak Tweak Offers Alternate Method to Browse Through Your iPhone’s Home Screens
PagePreview is a neat jailbreak tweak that allows you to preview all your iPhone's Home screens from the current Home screen by just dragging your finger on the page indicator dots, right above the dock.
PagePreview has recently been updated by Elias Limneos to add support for iOS 5.1.1.
You can also jump to any Home screen, by
dragging your finger on the page indicator dots and then releasing it
when you see the preview of that Home screen.
The jailbreak tweak also allows you to
launch an app from any Home screen in a similar way. Drag your finger to
the app and release it to launch the app.
You can customize the look and feel of the Home screen preview such as the background, opacity etc via the Settings app.
PagePreview also supports PageNames, which is a free jailbreak tweak also developed by Elias that allows you to assign a name to the Home screen.
You can check out the demo of the jailbreak tweak in action below:
PagePreview is available on Cydia for $1.74.
It works exactly as advertised and even
though it shrinks the size of the icon (and the label) in preview mode,
the name of the apps are still quite readable.
PagePreview is a nice alternative to browse through your iPhone or iPad's Home screens to launch an app.
Let us know what you think of PagePreview in the comments.
Note: In case you're wondering, SBRotator 5 ($2.99) is the name of jailbreak tweak that rotates iPhone's SpringBoard in the video.

Switchy: Jailbreak Tweak Enhances iPhone’s App Switcher
Switchy is a new jailbreak tweak developed by John Coates that aims to enhance the app switcher or multitasking tray.
Switchy is inspired by Brent Caswell's concept, who felt that the app switcher in iOS should be taller.
Switchy adds a second row of apps to the
app switcher, so it is less cumbersome to go through the list of apps.
The dots at the bottom of the two rows of app icons tell you how many
pages of apps you have in the app switcher, which is quite neat.
Switchy makes good use of the additional
real estate created by the second row. If you swipe left, it displays
the artist and album and the volume control and AirPlay button in the
Now Playing page (so you don't have to swipe left one more time to get
to them).
If you swipe left from the Now Playing
page, the settings page gives you a quick access to the Settings app,
ability to close all the apps in the app switcher with the Clear Apps button and also the ability to control the brightness of the screen.
Switchy is not compatible with the iPad currently.
Switchy is available in Cydia for $1. Switch is not the first jailbreak
tweak to enhance the app switcher. You can also check out other
alternatives like Imperium, Aero.
