Since a couple of weeks ago Apple showed us the new functions and features of iOS 8, many of us are delighted and eager to have it in our iDevices and, although in Applelizados we already teach you how to install iOS 8 without being a developer, the truth is that we are still facing a very premature beta and therefore unstable, which has made many users do downgrade and go back to iOS 7. If you "die" for have iOS 8 on your iPhone, today we show you how to enjoy its new functions while maintaining the stability of iOS 7.
Give iOS 7 the new features of iOS 8 with these Cydia Tweaks

Once we have our iPhone Jailbreaked we can install a series of existing tweaks that will allow us to perform the new functions of iOS 8 but with the stability of the iOS 7 system.
PredictiveKeyboard
QuikType is the new predictive keyboard of iOS 8 It suggests words to us as we write, and it also learns from what we write so it becomes more and more effective. This function you can have it with the tweak PredictiveKeyboard.
Third Party Keyboards
It is quite a novelty that finally Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will allow the installation of keyboards developed by others. In Cydia you can find some good examples to install on your iPhone such as TouchPal o hipjot.
