Remove iPhone app from task bar

[matchy]

Is it possible to remove from (or not have) the iphone multitask-bar icon before glb exit?

Can you explain better? I have not such or similar problem...

When the app is closed (quit), it's still shows up in the dashboard bar thingy. Is it default that an app can only be removed from memory here?

No, that's an iOS issue. They don't want you to be shocked where your app went, just because you did go low on memory.

I tried setting UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend in the plist but it didn't work.  Can someone try it?

[Kitty Hello]

Try "Application does not run in background"

[matchy]

That is the same thing.

From ios4 all aps Will be shown there. If the app support multitask you can switch back to it in the same point it was left. If it does not support multitask when you press the app icon on the multitask bar it will be launched again. A multitask app can be removed from system memory if iOS decides it.

So you can not decide to show it there or not as it is a iOS thing.

Oh okay...thanks.

Honestly, that multitasking thing really annoys me. I don't want _anything_ to run in the background and now I have to stop every app manually after launching it. It annoys me. Just because I have some app open that accesses the internet and when I'm off from home and my wifi is not available it gets data through 3G.
That's a big step backwards IMO. At least give us a chance to disable that, Apple, please!

I predicted that would be an annoying issue for some (ie. me), hence why my iPod was never upgraded beyond the last single-tasking OS release.  I'm probably one of the few who hasn't.  Mind you I can get away with it because I stopped buying apps on their store ages ago.

See another problem I have with running a multi-tasking OS on a portable, limited battery system that wasn't designed for multi-tasking in mind is that the more work the CPU etc. does, the quicker the battery is used.  Even worse are programs you could have running which result in your iDevice not actually being as idle while 'sleeping' as it should be -- assuming the iDevices work the way I suspect they do.

I recomend installing "switchermod" from cydia, as it changed the way multitask works. Not sure if it removes multitask, but for sure there is an app in cydia that does this.

BTW, Jailbreaking your iphone does not broke your warranty and is completly legal, as a sentence/law in USA stated last month.

And it is really easy: search for limera1n.

Jut for installing SBSettings on an iPhone, JB is a must.

If you hate multi-tasking on iOS, you'll love Android.  After 'quitting' every app I have to go into a task manager and kill it.  And this still leaves 'services' running (i.e. non-visual components of the program) unless you get more advanced task killing apps

And from what I've heard you should try 'jailbreakme.com' for easy jb...
