I’m biased because this is my favorite Summerboard theme out and just one of the reasons why I went back to 1.1.2 . Posters over at MacThemes have been producing some nice stuff for this theme including calculator and battery skins. Check this thread out for more detail.

Some offerings from this thread:

Being on the bleeding edge sometimes just isn’t worth it and this 1.1.3 jailbreak is a perfect example. Yes, I was well aware that some third party applications would stop working but to have stock Apple applications like Maps not work is unacceptable. I’ve perused all the forums and it seems i’m not alone in this mess. For me, jiggly icons will have to wait. If you haven’t jailbroken yet but are still planning on it, one of the better guides i’ve seen is at iClarified for Mac and Windows. Let me know in the comments section how your jailbreak went.

Chris Miles, developer of iSolitaire and iSlots, has developed iCrossword, a native iPhone crossword puzzle game. Tap on a number of a word to solve, then tap either the down or across button to receive the hint. Double tap the navigation bar to get to the options screen. There you can get info about current puzzle with options to check, clear or solve. It uses the puz file format and are readily available to download off the internet. Once downloaded, upload the new puz files into /var/root/Library/iCrossword/puz. Add http://iphone.rustyredwagon.com/repo (Chris Miles Repository) to your Installer.app sources to download.

Nav N Go looks to be preparing a GPS navigation solution for the iPhone using 3D navigation maps of terrain, road elevation, landmarks and buildings using the visualization engine of Nav N Go iGO 8.

The classic game of Scrabble has been ported over as a native iPhone application. Simply move the tiles to the board forming your word of choice. Double tap to move a tile off the board. Current play is limited to two players and Jiggy Runtime, which is available on Installer, must also be installed in conjunction with the Scrabble application. The only bug I encountered was wherein I tried to spell fugly and was told it wasn’t a word. I’m quite sure it’s a word because i’ve been called that plenty of times. Look at the screenshot for proof. Haha. Must be manually installed for now and will update if an Installer source is added. Look for Scrabble in the list and download here.
