KillBackground - Kill All Background Apps in AppSwitcher

[mr117]

So we can either use "Direct Closer Pro", "RemoveBG" toggle in Sbsettings and now the new "KillBackground"

Or SBSettings>Processes.

Just installed it. Works Like a Charm right outta the Box. I think this will be EXTREMELY useful.

Cool it works like a dream

. . . or you could install SwitcherPlus for free from Cydia. A kill all badge is just one of its many features. AND it's implemented in a much nicer looking way than this.

It's also been out for almost a year too

+1

lots of great options, e.g., put the time and date in the MT tray, you can set exceptions (i.e., apps that are never to close), etc.

Thanks friend - it's good to be back! Been busy with a multitude of things lol.

Well hopefully you got some rest in as well

[PathKiller29]

Ok i'll fix that but if someone is interested in designing new "buttons", contact me.
Because i'm not a really good designer...

my twitter.

oh damn, i wish i had the source code for this...

hahahaha nice thread but let's be honest, iOS 4 multitasking FAILS, no need to sugar coat it. The ONLY app that makes iOS 4 multi-tasking actually function well is MultiCleaner, PERIOD! Other than that you're just better off DISABLING that crap. With multicleaner you can make multi-tasking work the way that Crapple should have made it work which is when you're inside an app....

One Tap Home = Close App
Short Hold Home = Minimize App

I mean honestly what kinda MORONS over there are Crapple was in charge of the multi-tasking feature and just decided "let's just make it background EVERYTHING"?? Boy and people try to say that Microsoft does dumb crap, I can't tell

Nuff said!!

Great app works really well. I shall install it on my wife's iPad she is always complaining about shutting down apps. Thank you, not sure how people can moan at a free app?

So maybe if the tabs were smaller you'd be on board? That would most likely be an easy fix.

I'm content with RemoveBG - I have mine set to close all apps when I double tap the status bar - but I think the possibility of accidentally hitting the skull with this tweak and mistakenly closing apps is too large, even if there is only one skull and its size is lessened.

I think a pop-up window asking, "Are you sure you want to close all running apps?" would be the best solution.

No additional pop-ups please ..... I'm pop'd enough

I agree that the decision to automatically minimize all apps is pretty silly, but I don't like the idea of taping the home button to do one thing, having a short hold to do another, then a long hold to enable voice commands. Trying to hit that middle option perfect without enabling voice commands would drive me crazy.

How 'bout a tweak where something like a three finger scroll down minimizes apps while tapping the home button closes them?

No additional pop-ups please ..... I'm pop'd enough

True...true. I had to disable all push notifications because the pop up windows were driving me crazy! How 'bout making the warning window an option in the tweak's settings?

Ooooohhh...I have it! How 'bout dragging the skull across the multitasking switchbar thing? As an extra bonus it could open and close its mouth eating the apps!

[CustomSS1]

This looks great!

btw, MultiCleaner is similar to this tweak and works with Activator, although it's a payware

[BenderRodriguez]

This is such a fail go get SwitherPlus

[DuBB_B]

RemoveBG is just as easy. Good alternative tho

[PathKiller29]

Stop bashing the dev

Go make something better than come back
Show some respect guys
U don't like it. Dont say anything
I'm sure the Dev really doesn't care much. It was a learning experience for him.
What have u learned how to be a bigger ***?
Enjoy the free tweak or don't.
No need to ruin it for others

[RoloDiva13]

The only complaint I have about this is that you can't set certain apps to keep running

RemoveBG actually does that. There's an "exceptions" list you can create.

[blinden76]

Let's keep bashing. What happens when the devs of the other tweaks stops supporting? The more the better guys.

[Mes]

Let's keep bashing. ....

I hope you are joking

[blinden76]

I hope you are joking

Sarcasm is hard to write. My meaning was stop bashing because we need more people developing tweaks. Sorry for the confusion.

[Mes]

Sarcasm is hard to write. ...

So true. No reason to bash.

I think we're lucky to have so many developers creating great stuff.
