Backgrounder by Lance Fetters (ashikase) has been updated to support iOS 4.2.1
Backgrounder allows for total control of backgrounding on an iPhone/iOS-based device. With Backgrounder, *you* decide when an app should keep running, and when it should quit.
Backgrounder provides true backgrounding; minimized apps can be made to continue to run as if they were still the foreground app.
What's New In This Version: ● Updated for iOS 4.2.1. ● Changed method used for preventing installation on unsupported iOS versions. ● Changed version numbering due to move from Google Code (svn) to GitHub (git).
You can download Backgrounder from the BigBoss Cydia Repository.

Anyone else still getting the respring after itunes sync with the new backgrounder installed? i'm on 4.2.1.on a 3g
everything works fine but its kinda annoying...
On the iPhone 3G with the latest backgrounder installed. Is anyone else seeing that the mail app does not stay backgrounded in native mode and only in backgrounder mode?
Good news. I have an iPhone 3G. I use normal multitasking, but I need Backgrounder to prevent all apps to stay "open", only apps I want stay, you know, hibernated. So, I keep RAM.
