On my ipod touch 2nd gen (iOS 4.1), a while back, I enabled multitasking via this method: http://www.mydigitallife.info/enable-multitasking-on-iphone-3g-and-ipod-touch-2g-on-firmware-os-4-0/
You can try using this method to see if it disables multitasking. make a backup of the plist though just in case. Be advised that editing .plist files can be scary, it may mess up the device and force a restore so I would NOT recommend doing this method unless it's known for sure to work
I'm not sure if there's a tweak to disable multitasking bar though, never thought about disabling it
edit: looks like it doesn't work https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=15163612#post15163612. It looks like Springtomize 2 may have the feature to disable multitasking

been googling this, and...think i'm gonna just leave it. simple enough to NOT double-click the home button (and ultimately, the app switcher is there IF i ever want it).
thank u.
thank u.
LOL now that i made peace with NOT turning it off...i read this. anyway, works, so thank u!
yeah,i think so,when double-clicked on the home screen or in apps. Or assign any other action to it.
disabled the app switcher from the home page, but it's active when i'm in an app...makes sense (to me...). activator, great idea of course!
