For most, the iPhone app switcher features enough options to get by. For jailbreakers? It's a whole different story.
Imperium is a jailbreak tweak that seeks to replace the App Switcher with OS X-like Mission Control inspired functionality in tow.
If you consider yourself to be an iOS power user, then check inside to see whether or not Imperium will fit into your daily workflow...

Yesterday we brought you a sneak preview of CamFast (previously FastCam), and it's a tweak that allows you to invoke the iPhone's camera API using a simple Activator action.
The nice thing about CamFast is that it even works at the Lock screen, and is faster than Apple's 5.1 Lock screen camera improvements.
Be sure to watch our video demonstration above to see how it works in action.
And you thought iOS 5.1's new Lock screen camera was fast? FastCam is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that allows you to access your iPhone's camera API using a simple Activator action.
The nice thing about FastCam is that it works anywhere, even at the Lock screen. In fact, it's faster than the Lock screen camera feature found on iOS 5, and still faster after the improvements made with iOS 5.1.
Check out our video preview of FastCam straight ahead...
It's like DisplayRecorder — without the recording. TouchPosé is a jailbreak tweak that places a little blue circle on the screen whenever the screen is touched.
You can enable and disable the finger tracking circle using a simple Activator action, but the tweak has no additional settings or options to configure.
Take a look inside for a video walkthrough of TouchPosé in action...
Springround is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that will allow you to access your iPhone's Home screen app icons from anywhere.
In order to accomplish this feat, the developers of Springround employed the trusty Activator, which allows it to be invoked inside any app.
Springround is the perfect mix of function and simplicity as you'll see from our hands-on video inside...
DisableLaunch is a free jailbreak tweak that adds a security element to your iPhone's Home screen.
With the assistance of Activator, you can outright prevent apps from launching from your SpringBoard.
It's not the most surefire security feature ever invented, but it can get the job done in a pinch...
With everything going the route of iOS 5's Notification Center, we're seeing less and less tweaks that use Activator as a means for invoking, but FastStatus bucks that trend.
In fact, FastStatus' ability to retain full compatibility with iOS 4 is one of the feathers in its cap.
This is a tweak that allows you to send email, text messages, and tweets from anywhere using a user assigned Activator action.
Check out our video walkthrough of FastStatus in action inside...
Let's just chalk TerminalActivator into the "I do it just because I can" category.
TerminalActivator, as its name might suggest, allows you to execute Activator actions via a terminal emulator.
It works well, but the developer is obviously targeting a very small audience. Full video demonstration inside...
If you're looking to customize Siri on your jailbroken iDevice, then there are already a few options available on Cydia.
AssistantExtensions, and SiriToggles are perhaps two of the best examples of Siri customization on a jailbroken device, but there's one in the works that's looking like a winner as well.
Indeed, MySiri — an upcoming Siri tweak — promises to add a ridiculous amount of end-user control to the Siri interface.
Co-developers Andrea Oliva & Akhil Tolani provided us with a sneak peak of the upcoming tweak. Check inside as we give it the full video preview...
HomePlayer is a jailbreak tweak that brings a fully focused audio experience to your SpringBoard. It interfaces directly with the Music app to bring a full screen music playing session to the Home Screen.
When I say "fully focused" I truly mean it, as the app completely disables the Home button's functionality to prevent users from exiting the interface.
It's an interesting concept, although it can be a bit buggy at times. In the end it's an obvious 1.0 tweak that can go as far as its developers decide to take it...
Not to be confused with the Mission Control that's standard on all OS X Lion builds, MissionControl is a Cydia tweak that adds menu based multitasking to the iPhone.
Using Activator as a means to invoke the menu, MissionControl is a simple alternative for those who want lots of predefined options in an organized menu.
This free tweak contains quick links to Cydia, Twitter, Facebook, Wi-Fi settings, and more...
I know I'm not alone in my predicament, but I can't count the number of times I've missed a good photo opportunity because I was either too slow on the draw, or iOS itself was too slow to load the camera UI.
Snappy5 is a tweak that aims to minimize, if not eliminate that annoying issue. It works by using Activator to quickly pull up the Camera app and automatically snapping a photo or filming a video.
If you find yourself missing a lot of great memories, then you definitely want to check this out...
