How is the battery life when using this? My guess would be that it drains it a bit, is this true?
Got a tip for us?

It shouldn't drain any more then not having it. You people are your battery life, damn.
If they add a "coverflow" with springboard option to it it would be perfect. Having five things open and they start to get a little small..
so im trying to figure out a way to reach the rotation locks after installing multiflow. I like reading stuff while laying on my bed when i just woke up.
Is there a sbsettings rotation lock toggle? I cant seem to find some sorta rotation lock toggle for sbsettings on cydia.
Or how do u guys handle rotation lock or ipod controls?
I know you can change the activator to assign something for apple task switcher...but i rather keep multiflow with double tap home button.

I also like the default double tap, besides the lock orientation issue, when listening to music and the phone is locked you can no longer bring up rhe music controls, instead it brings up multifl0w.
Proswitcher is crap, takes up way too much ram, when you dbl click it takes almost 2-3 seconds before anything happends, and you cant swipe more than one widget at a time... multifl0w you can swift through all the icons smoothly, its instantaneous and is just better all in all.
I changed the MultiTasking Switcher to Short Hold of the Home under Activator to bring up the iPod controls and Fast App Switcher
backgrounder is true backgrounding apps, the apple "multitasking" is not real backgrounding. it doesnt run the apps in the background it pauses them and stores a history of the app. most cases you actually re-open the app after sending it to the "background" with apples crappy multitasking
Yes, did the same after reading this on the website:
If I set Multifl0w to activate with double-press home button, how can I turn on or off rotation lock?
Using Activator it is possible for you to set the action that opens Apple's task switcher to any other Activator method, if you assign it to something else then you can still open Apple's switcher to get to the iPod controls and Rotation Lock.
I also unassigned Multifl0w from lock screen in Activator to bring back the music controls.
Couple of practical things.
It is indeed very fast and the animation is great. However, it has also crashed my springboard a few times, most noticeably when i open more than 9 apps (i dont have backgrounder installed, just using native iOS MT). After that, if i invoke it and try to scroll to see more than 9 cards it crashes. Also, i dont like how if you switch from an app when you are holding the phone in landscape mode, the card has a landscape picture. Makes it more difficult to quickly see which app the card refers to. Lastly, the one nice thing about apples implementation is that its very visible and easy to switch to a new app cause the app icons are instantly recognizable. It would be great if he could add a pro switcher like option to have the app icon appear below each card. Would make it much easier to identify quickly.

How to do this?
OK, here's what I'd like to do with my Iphone w/ Backgrounder/Multiflow/Remove Recents. Can anyone tell me the optimal settings to be able to do this:
I want the app to continue running using Backgrounder only when I initiate it to do so (holding home button). When apps have Native backgrounding (audio, GPS, VOIP) I would rather it use Native (not have to be "enabled" by me) but still show up in Multiflow. When an app is uses Fast app switching, I don't want it to show up in Multiflow but DO want it to show up in Native task switcher. When an app does not have backgrounding or fast app switch I want it to close completely when I close it and not show up in Native multitask menu.
Basically Native multitask menu has all apps that use fast app switch (whether running or not) and Multiflow for apps actually running only. With this setup I can use Multiflow to see what's REALLY running and taking up more memory/depleting battery.

Really like the idea of the app icon below each card. Also, I would like to be able to access my music controls. I have the Cydia app music controls, which is nice because in Apple's multitask menu at the top of the screen you can see your album art and control your music. Multiflow can't fully replace Native for me until I can control my music without going into the music app.
Yikes, crashing your phone = unacceptable to me. I don't love Apple's implementation, but don't want to deal with instability from an alternative, even if it is much better.
I reported this to their support email address. Unfortunately this means I will be uninstalling multifl0w. I don't want to have to keep track of how many apps I've opened then close some of them. This doesn't happen with Apple's multi-tasking. Yes, I know it's different from multifl0w, but starting too many should not result in a crash.
I'm loving Multiflow but I am also getting the sad mac!
Since I've jailbroken I have not had one SB crash until now.
I'll report it to the developer and I'm sure it will get fixed soon.
Overall great job just has a few bugs to work out.

It does not force you to lose the double tap. Simply pick another way to activate multifl0w
why doesnt cydia go into mutlifl0w? and can you have mulitfl0w and native background at the same time?
