When i first tried jailbreaking my iPhone 3g, i really wanted to use the "backgrounder" app..but the iPhone just didnt have the memory to do any kind of background tasks..
well..since the recent release of the 3gs jailbreak, i HAD to try backgrounder again on my 3gs... i was happy to find that it did work on the 3gs with no problems.
first thing i tried was opening up pandora and playing some streaming music and then playing a game at the same time.
i was very pleasantly surprised to find out that the phone didnt show ANY signs of slowing down. I chose to play pandora and Rolando 2. its hard to hear in the video, but the sound effects for the game still play..but you get to listen to pandora! When i open rolando 2 in the video, the reason it is so instant is because it was already running in the background as well.
after enabling backgrounding for pandora, i sorta stumble around for a second trying to find the game i wanted to play..then i open up rolando. please forgive the horrible playing, it was hard to hold it in front of the camera and play at the same time. When i close rolando, i hold the home button for a second to disable backgrounding for it (it didnt really need to be in the background for this demo, but was still in it from previous experimenting). Then i open pandora which is still playing in the background and I pause the music and disable backgrounding for pandora.
I havent played around too much, but I have tried pandora using safari/mail/text.. i opened a synth program and made a loop and let it keep playing while i opened tiger woods and played for a little while with loop i made still going. I havent had anything close on me yet...!
i havent seen anyone post up anything about backgrounder on the 3gs yet, so i figured I would post this up!
this was the reason i wanted to jailbreak in the first place and now with the 3gs it works great!
