Remove Recents cleans up the Multitasking Bar

Are you sick of opening apps and the closing them, only to find that when you double press the home button all those apps that you have opened are in the multitasking dock at the bottom. Well thanks to BigBoss now there is a solution. (is it me or did that should like an opening for an infomercial)

Remove Recents is a great new free tweak that can be found on the BigBoss repo that removes any app that does not need to be kept open in the multitasking bar. So this would be any app that does not natively use backgrounding or the Backrounder app in Cydia. Basically it properly closes any app that isn’t built for ios4.

I have to say a big thank you to @Jima6636 for bringing this tweak to my attention, I love this kind of simple app / tweak that you don’t have to do anything with it just does it itself.

Now when I double press my home button all I see is apps that should be left open and not apps that I may have just opened recently.

There is one down side to this app and I don’t know if it just me but it has affected music playback through my car stereo, I now can not do certain things with the stereo that I have been able to do before, such as set it to play randomly or skip tracks.

I’ll investigate that problem further and it would be great if you would let me know if you have the same problem in the comments below.

All in all this is a favourite tweak of mine and if the iPod playback gets sorted then that would give it a five star rating.
