You now have another reason to jailbreak your iPhone to have one of iPhone’s most wanted feature .. none other than multitasking. Available only in Cydia, one app called ProSwitcher can turn your iPhone to be a multitasking device in a blink of seconds.. free of charge.
Running behind ProSwitcher is another app called Backgrounder which is actually the main engine. Backgrounder has its own setting that you can modify although you can leave the default setting intact. It lest you specify which apps to be enabled/disabled from being run on the background, toggle backgrounding via Home or power button and etc.
Some say it is Palm WebOS style (though I never use WebOS before). To enable app to keep running in background, press home (the default control button) for few seconds, until ‘Backgrounding Enabled’ message appear on your phone screen.
To toggle between apps running in background, click on the ProSwitcher icon (in order to run it) which displays all apps in that state. Browse and just tap any application that you want to bring to the foreground. There are small dots at the bottom of the screen to indicate how many apps are currently running in background.
I have it run for couple of days, and it simply turn the iPhone to be more productive tool. A must have app!
