If you don’t use the SpotLight page very much for anything, then why not trick it out with useful system toggles, quick composition, and system information? Shown above, a new jailbreak tweak called TaskMaster by iOS developer iA1eX will do just that.
Upon installing the tweak, you will be able to swipe over to your SpotLight page and find more than just a search bar, but also controls for your music, whether it’s currently playing or not, as well as a volume slider and a brightness slider.
Just under that you will find system toggles for:
Wi-Fi
Airplane Mode
Bluetooth
Do Not Disturb
Flashlight
Location Services
Silent Mode
Rotation Lock
3G
Data
Personal Hotspot
Respring
Airplane Mode
Bluetooth
Do Not Disturb
Flashlight
Location Services
Silent Mode
Rotation Lock
3G

Personal Hotspot
Respring
Right below the toggles you will find quick composition for Twitter, Facebook, E-mail, and Messages, as well as useful information about the device such as:
The name of the device
The type of device and firmware version
The device's total capacity
The device's available free space
The network the device is connected to
The IP address
The MAC address
The battery percentage

Notably, even though the tweak adds new features to the SpotLight page, you can still use the SpotLight page to search for things on your iOS device. That being said, while the tweak is great for people that don’t use SpotLight, it’s also great for people that do use SpotLight and want to simply improve the functionality of the page.
TaskMaster doesn't come with any options to configure; you will be able to just install it and begin using it. The tweak is compatible with iOS 5.1.1 and later and works on any iPhone or iPod touch (not the iPad just yet). If you would like to give TaskMaster a try, it's available in Cydia's BigBoss repository for just $1.99.
