I've looked hard and have been unable to find good websites that have aggregated custom controls that have been submitted by users to be shared with everyone. Does such a repository exist?
I would hope something like this existed considering that iPhone developers seem to be using similar custom controls. In particular, I'm trying to do folder-like tabs on the iPhone (similar to how it is done on websites).

Here's a fairly new site for custom iOS and Mac OS X controls, Cocoa Controls.

joe answered good.
Here are the sites from were you can find reusable components
1) http://cocoacontrols.com/
2) http://open.iphonedev.com/
3) http://cocoaobjects.com/
Here is the twitter account where you can find popular reusable components on github about iPhone or iPad
4) https://twitter.com/#!/github_objc

Are you looking for the graphic design elements like buttons and views? If so, check out the Teehan+Lax iPhone PSD file: http://www.teehanlax.com/blog/2009/06/18/iphone-gui-psd-30/

One source I just found is by Joe Hewitt who made the Facebook iPhone app. He has a bunch of custom stuff he's opened sourced.

How to develop iphone app
Tools
Xcode provides tools to manage your entire development workflow—from creating your app and designing your user interface, to testing, optimizing, and shipping your app to the App Store. You can customize Xcode to suit your style of working, keeping you focused on the task at hand.
Languages
Objective-C is an elegant object-oriented language that powers all iOS apps. You write Objective-C code to create your app, and you need to understand this language in order to use most application frameworks. Although you can use other languages for development, you can’t build an iOS app without Objective-C.(But we can use Apache cordova(phonegap) for developing non native app )

I maintain an app for my business and am pretty much self-taught on code. I understand all of the structural code, and everything is perfectly usable. My problems is with the overall boringness of the looks. Everything is stock iOS from buttons to backgrounds to pinstripes on the list view. Does anyone have any guides or tutorials they used to take a stock iOS app's look to something like the Piictu app? (I'm not looking for something that impressive but in between that and stock iOS; and I'm open to a full app re-start.)
Almost all of controls can be customized with the view properties. and also there are lots of fully customized controls published with its source code.
With iOS5 there is a lot more scope now for customisation of UIKit elements. However, where this is not custom enough for your design then you would need to write your own controls rather than only using Apple'. There are a few good ADC videos on this.

I'm finalizing my first iPhone apps; and wonder where should I put credit information for open-sources I used in my iPhone app? Should I put it directly in my app (users can see it if they press "About" button) or put it in a file go along with the bundle?
The 2 open-source frameworks I used have "new BSD license" and "Apache license".
What is your practice for this issue?
Thanks.
I have recently been wondering about this too.
Some Apple apps (Pages, Numbers) put it into an acknowledgements page in their section of the settings app, though I have not yet figured out an easy way to do this - each paragraph of text has to be a "Group" element, which is a little hard to get setup. This is the option I use, see this question to see how I do it:
best way to add license section to iOS settings bundle
Other apps put it in the itunes connect license agreement section, which is a lot simpler.
A third option (used by the ebay app amongst others) is having an "about" screen hidden somewhere in the application, with a "legal" subpage.

The path for the thumbnails of the images located in the iPhone is: /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/.MISC/ (or instead of 100APPLE we have 101APPLE, 102APPLE etc).
If I want to pick these images directly from these folders, what is the best way to improvise a nice picker like the one for UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary?
I have already seen some attempts using UITableView and UIPickerView. Any other ideas?
Any recommended TUTORIAL?
what is the best way?
I really don't know so ideas still welcome.
Any other ideas?
Yes. Using a thumbnail scrollview.
Any recommended TUTORIAL?
Not a tutorial but even better, sample code. Using sample code from Apple Developer:
Autoscroll from ScrollViewSuite
I previously wrote "Your application runs in a sandbox. This means that directories like /private/var are not available to your application. It is therefore not possible to create a custom picker that looks directly in those folders."
This turns out not to be the case. I am totally surprised that iPhone applications do actually have access to most of the filesystem.
