I started out with a concept. I wanted something similar to my laptop setup. No icons on the desktop, run things using dmenu, only display necessary info in the bar. I set out to mimick this on iOS. These are my results, this is my rice.

This is what I see when I first unlock my phone:

This is how I launch apps (I bring this up by pressing the home button):

And this is my lockscreen:

I used the following tweaks:
Springtomize: to hide the dock after i'd moved all icons into the dock, and to hide the dots above the dock (among other things; Springtomize is a one-does-all customizing tool)
StatusTweak: to arrange statusbar elements
CleanStatus: to remove unnecessary items from the statusbar
Color Keyboard: to theme my keyboard

-- I might remember some more, but that's pretty much the list.
