This application is another reason to Jailbreak you iPhone. iPhone lacks multi-tasking capabilities, one thing the jailbreaking community does is to come up with apps and utilities that Apple will never ever approve nor make. Now, multi-tasking is personally what I want my iPhone to be capable of. This app called Multiflow (mobile substrate extension) nailed it when it comes UI and implementation. I am sure everybody has been waiting for an app like this.
Multiflow makes multi-tasking easier with it's activation method using the home button. But, it also uses another app's functionality, you need to install "Backgrounder" which is available in Cydia for free. I have tested this on 3gs only. I ran 10 applications in the background, one is TVU and it was playing while I tried to enable the rest of the apps.
Here you can see my RAM before the enabling all 10 apps (155mb)
Now here is the memory (64mb) after running all apps in 10mins. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the memory consumption but I did not experience crash issues on any of the 10 apps in the background.
This App is really worth it, and Apple should have made iPhone perform like this. what can you say now Apple?
Requirements:
- Jailbroken iphone
-Cydia installer
Apps:
- Backgrounder app (free) bigboss repo
- Multiflow App 4.99$ under ModMyi repo.
