The above title pretty much says all!!

Tried using the existing multitask disabler and activate the tweak via Winterboard but no such luck!!

Used to work on 4.2.1! 😕

Also noticed that some of the themes does not work via Winterboard too...!

please tell me why u want to disable it?

On the same note. What's the difference between disabling it and not using it?

im using it, but i always quit games after i finished playing, especially 3D games like modern combat 2 and n.o.v.a 2. other apps i let them suspended because i often need them back fast.

It sort of defaults to using it, you'd have to close programs in the bar and bring it up every time. I can see that as a less then ideal solution.

But you're right it is do able.
 
Multitasking would be a lot better if it was limited to 6-8 apps. Does anyone really scroll three screens back to relaunch an app? I did a little experiment and I was able to get over 40 apps going on the dock. I don't klnow what the upper limit is but it seems really dumb to have so many going.

Is it just me that hardly ever uses multi-tasking? I get why I'd use it in theory. In practice however, my instinct is to just click the home button rather than open the multi-tasking thing and change apps that way.

*facepalm*

The multitasking bar != multitasking. The multitasking bar is really just an app switcher (like Cmd+Tab [OS X] or Alt+Tab [Win]). Most of what you have in there isn't actually running in the background.

Unless you're jailbroken and have disabled multitasking or are on an older iDevice that doesn't support it, iOS is multitasking whether or not you use the multitasking bar.

iOS actually does a very good job at killing apps to release memory for other tasks. Very few need to disable it.
