Aaron Ash brought you Multiflow, which is a popular jailbreak application that has a Palm Pre Expose-like multitasking to iOS last November 2009. He released the application even before Apple revealed the multitasking feature in iOS 4. He also released the revamed version of his application that is compatible to iOS 4 as well as the latest version of the Multiflow (v2.1).

The latest version of Multiflow 2.1 brings back the WebOS Cards-style multitasking interface to the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Multiflow is an application switcher for handsets that are already jailbroken, which is a lot better than the default app switcher. You can close the applications running in the background by either clicking on the X button or flicking the app snapshot up or pulling it down.

The latest version of Multiflow 2.1 for iOS 4 comes with the following features:

  • It can show up to 9 applications in the same screen for convenient task switching and much easier than Apple’s
  • The applications can be dragged and dropped when you rearrange them.
  • Multiflow can work alongside or totally replace Apple’s default task switcher by going to Settings –> Multifl0w –> Activation Methods –> Home Button – tap on Double Press
  • It is also compatible on iOS 3.1.X (but you need to install the free Backgrounder jailbreak app).

You can also choose between Expose and Cards interface by going to the Settings app (Multifl0w –> Switcher Style –> Exposé or Cards). If you want to use the default app switcher with Multifl0w then you need to set Multifl0w’s activation method to something other than Double-Press Home. Multiflow is available for a small price of $4.99 on Cydia App Store.

iPhone 4 users are clamoring against Apple’s fixed proximity sensor issue. According to the iOS 4.1 release notes, the “super-sensitive” proximity sensor on iPhone 4 made calls to be unintentionally dialed, hung up or muted without the user’s content. It appeared that the iOS 4.1 software update is unable to fix the issue for all users. If you are still experiencing some problems with the proximity sensor then it is best to check out the jailbreak app CallLock.

CallLock is an application available in the Cydia App Store that locks the phone when there is an incoming or outgoing call. With your phone locked, it minimizes the possibility of hitting many buttons that may cause the trouble you are experiencing. After installing the jailbreak app from Cydia, you can select the mode from the Settings. Choose CallLock that can be accessed via Settings app. You can simply choose from Manual Mode to Automatic Mode.

In Manual Mode, CallLock will override the function of the Power button during a call to lock the screen instead of ending a call. In Automatic Mode, CallLock will automatically lock the phone as soon as there is an incoming or outgoing call. The manual mode is the default setting. This application is very useful for users who are still encountering proximity sensor issue.
