Remove Recents Hides iOS Apps That Don’t Support Multitasking

The most important feature of iOS 4 is multitasking and, look, we get it. You’re now able to quickly switch between apps and go back to the exact place you left off the app. It’s cool, and it works good. The problem is, there are too many apps that still don’t support the new multitasking APIs, and it’s kind of annoying to get these apps in the multitasking drawer, tap on them and find out that they haven’t been updated for iOS’ persistent state.

Fortunately for jailbroken users, the solution is in Cydia.

With Remove Recents, available in the Big Boss repository, you can force the drawer to display only the apps that support the new APIs. Boom, here’s Twitter for iPhone. Here’s Ego, here’s Evernote. Hey, where’s Osfoora?

That’s right, those apps that don’t support multitasking won’t get in the way anymore. Useful, and free.
