I saw a link to an iDownloadBlog article yesterday on how to do this. It didn't provide very clear instructions, however, and as I am seeing quite a few questions about updating, I thought I'd provide this tutorial. You will need the following:
OpenSSH
an SSH client on your pc
Mobile Terminal
1) SSH into your device with username "root" and password "alpine" (unless you've previously changed your root password)
2) Navigate to /etc/apt/sources.list.d and copy your cydia.list to your computer
3) run the Terminal application on your phone and type the following command:
dpkg --get-selections> installed-apps.txt
4) Navigate to /var/mobile via SSH and copy the new file "installed-apps.txt" to your computer
5) Fully backup then restore your phone to 7.0.6 via iTunes, then restore the backup, most tweak settings are saved with the backup
6) Jailbreak using a modified version of evasi0n, a search on this sub will either provide a link or instructions on how to modify it yourself
7) Once Jailbroken, download OpenSSH and MobileTerminal via Cydia, you will also need APT commands, so install AptBackup and it will install all the needed commands for you
8) SSH into your device, your password will be "alpine"
9) copy both "cydia.list" and "installed-apps.txt" back into the location you copied them from earlier
10) Open Mobile Terminal and run the following commands:
su
alpine
dpkg --set-selections <installed-apps.txt
apt-get dselect-upgrade
11) Reboot
EDIT: I've now personally followed this guide, not deviating at all, and everything is back to how it was pre-updating. After MobileTerminal has installed all your packages, you may need to respring to get the tweaks to take. My only issue is that I am missing some App Store installed apps, but this is on Apple's side and not in any way a fault of the jailbreak.
EDIT2: Activator actions are gone as well, if you select Backup Assignments in Activator it will back them up and include them in your iTunes backup
EDIT3: Any custom fonts will be removed, if they are not from Cydia, back them up to your computer. They are located in /var/mobile/Library/MyFonts2
