Notification Center is one the most useful feature that was added to iOS 5. I use it very extensively on my iPhone and have many widgets added to it. There are many widgets available for Notification Center like MusicCenter Widget, Custom NC Background, and more.
Today, a new tweak was added for the Notification Center in Cydia store. This one’s called OmniStat for NotificationCenter by Mathieu Bolard (mattlawer). It is a free tweak that is available in the BigBoss repository for free. This tweak was recently updated to 1.3.1 and added new features like re-spring, reboot, power off, kill background apps, bug fixes in toggles system, and changes in the UI.
It does an array of functions like showing device information which includes name, model, OS version, disk free space and also network data such as IP address, battery statistics, processes that are running and much more. This also performs many functions that SBSettings used to do like the toggles for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Location Services and Airplane Mode. It also has the ability to turn 3G on/off, kill background applications, restart springboard, reboot and shutdown.

- Go to the BigBoss Repo and look for OmniStat for NotificationCenter.
- After installing, go to Settings -> Notifications and scroll till the end.

OmniStat for NotificationCenter is a recommended alternate of SBSettings as it will bring the similar features if not the same. No user reported bugs has been found so far and the tweak also works very smooth and fast.
